[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have knowledge on high academic D3? [/quote]

Understanding is that grades are more important at high academic D3 than D1.  D3 coaches have less currency with the Office of Admissions than does a D1 High Academic coach.  Your DD will be best positioned for schools in which her course choice, grades and SAT largely align with the median of the admitted students.  There is no publicly available data or rules, but this is my overall sense.  Talk to your club's recruiting coordination and he/she can probably give you more information on each school. [/quote]

Played for a high academic D3 and tracking admissions for my kids now.  The above poster is absolutely correct, even for football.  If you are "in the pool", meaning within the grade and test score range of their normal acceptance group, being a difference maker for the lacrosse team will give you a leg up--but not a guarantee--for admissions.  If you are close, but not "in the pool", you have to be a game changer to get the admissions boost.  If you are well outside the range, your DD could be Charlotte North and it won't help.  [/quote]
