[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is being recruited by JHU.  Was told by the coach that they want to see 1500/34 and top 10% of HS class.[/quote]

JHU = D3
Not the same answer for D1 schools. [/quote]

We were told the same for the Ivies (D1 schools).[/quote]

So if I am understanding correctly, despite the test-optional policy, we should expect that the Ivy League schools reaching out to our student-athlete ("top" sport like football/basketball/lacrosse) will request ACT/SAT scores?  Also, when should we expect Ivy League recruiting to end practically speaking?  End of junior year?  End of first semester senior year?

Thank you![/quote]

I love how uiy lumped lacrosse as a top sport  :lol: [/quote]

At many schools it is a top sport but (other than at JHU) not to the extent of football or hoops.[/quote]
"Top sport" in what way? Maybe there would be a lot of interest in playing it at certain schools, but I don't see it as a top revenue generator.

Do a lot of these athletes continue to play their sport year after year once admitted? They're not getting a scholarship for it, and I'm assuming they can't be dismissed for choosing to quit. I wonder if some use it for a bump in admissions and then quit.

LACROSSE IS GOD at Hopkins. Hopkins Homecoming is centered around a Lacrosse game, not football.  Homecoming weekend was the big lacrosse game.  Football is not a big deal at hopkins---at all.

Well, they are actually good at lacrosse, so why not? [/quote]

It isn't just that they are good at lacrosse, it is that they are arguably the most successful, and inarguably (with Syracuse and Maryland) one of the three most successful, mens lacrosse programs over the last 100+ years.  If you aren't from Maryland, you can't fully appreciate how important lacrosse is in Baltimore and the center of that is Homewood Field.  Plus, unlike Maryland, Cuse and pretty much all of the other D1 powerhouse lacrosse programs, there is not a D1 football or basketball program of note.  [/quote]
