[quote=Anonymous]A.  We looked at the Linkedin pages of some of the recent grads of some of the best-lax-but-less-selective overall schools.  They don't seem to be fairing any better than the other grads of said schools.  Yes, there will be CEO's from both Maryland and MIT, but overall a MIT degree will probably serve your child better in life, if they are up to it.  My DD is thinking about teaching and coaching lax and is not really into academics, so she's looking at B, but your child can find a lax community and the benefits that go along with that at any school so definitely choose the best academic fit.  My older DS was a highly-ranked athlete in high school (different sport) and also high GPA/SAT, and chose not to pursue his sport in college, but has found tons other other athletic/academic/social activities to fill that void.  Once you get on that college commit train, I think it is easy to get tunnel vision, I know we were right there for a while, but after son chose A we're so glad he did, even though he occasionally wishes he was part of a varsity team and everything that goes along with that, overall it's been the right choice for him.
