Depends On the school.  I would argue that you likely need better grades/ scores for a Williams/Amherst/Swarthmore than for an Ivy as a recruited athlete - all things being equal.

A weighted 3.5 -  3.8 (for lacrosse) could make you competitive at some NESCACs, most of Centennial, most of ODAC, all of Liberty, etc.  the coaches will be the best initial sanity check, as they can tell you whether you are in the ballpark or not.  The test score also matters.  A lower GPA can be offset by a high SAT/ACT. Again, depends on the school, and on where the player ranks on the coach’s board.

While post-COVID, many schools have gone test-optional, any lacrosse player who is trying to get recruited likely needs to have a test score to submit.  The coaches will want that - especially if it is a score that helps with admissions. [/quote]

Good grades from private trumps public school.  Very hard to get into top school from public even with 4.0 gpa.[/quote]
