I am embarrassed as a parent and an adult that a young woman who has worked her butt off to get an offer to…let’s say Clemson, saw that adults had an opinion on her academic and lacrosse choice. I mean, it’s not a”good school”. Shame on you. And yes, the girls look at this site esp during lax season when parents do nothing but talk crap about their school, coach and sometimes players.

And for the record, Ivy's give plenty of $ to athletes. Yes, not athletic, but the academic money is there and you don’t have to have opened a school in Rwanda and have a 5.0GPA. So, money does flow.

Most ivys no longer give merit.

No athletic and no merit at Ivies.

Merit is offered at ivies but the income threshold is very low.

That is not merit. That is need based.

I think this is a good point. The need based thresold is low, we typically think of HHI over 150K not getting AID but this is not the case based on my knowledge at Ivys, someone can correct me if I am wrong.

Also, can someone clarify. If you make too much for need based, couldn't you just have your adult kid be responsible for $$, therefore you should meet the need based easily?

If it were that easy don’t you think EVERYONE would do that? I mean come on.

Kinda the point.

Not sure who this pp is talking about, but one thing is for certain, no player who wants a legitimate shot at a national title would pick UVA, especially after the recent coaching change. UNC, Northwestern, BC, Syracuse, Denver, JMU, Notre Dame, Florida, Maryland, Loyola, and Stony Brook are the women’s lacrosse power schools for at least the next several years, and most of those are similar or better academically.

Denver, JMU and Loyola are not even close to similar or better academically than the rest of the list including UVA

What is the general take on the new UVA coach?

Seriously... This doesn't work. They count the parents resources even if the kid is estranged or disowned.

It means the original poster who complained UVA doesn’t take “standout” in-state public school players likely wanted interest from UVA for his DD because it’s a better academic in-state option. Why else would he have complained about it? When the love from UVA wasn’t there, he likely settled for JMU because he wanted in-state to save money (which explains why he’s bashing UVA recruiting and “way down” ranking of #18). How am I doin?

Agree. It is a bizarre rant. UVA is a great school with a very good program. The coach they had for the last 20 years retired and their best player transferred rather than be part of a rebuild. UVA would be a great place to go for a new recruit and participate in a program with new great coaches and get a great education.

Are you sure? A Cap Orange already committed there. That doesn’t seem right that a blue player would commit there.

This is so messed up. Some of the Orange players are as strong as the blue players. The goalie is strong and chose a school that was right for her. Who cares who is committed there? A skilled orange player.

I really do think that people outside of Capital don't know just how close some of the talent is on Blue and Orange. Granted not all of the players but the top players on the Orange team could easily interchange with many on Blue. The Dartmouth commit started out on Orange as an example. People who don't watch the actual players or say for instance a practice where they scrimmage each other really don't know and should stay quiet.
