[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I can tell there are a lot of great lacrosse hs players (both public and private) but it seems like those that come from private schools end up getting recruited.  Is it the rigor of the private school academics that differentiates? [/quote]

Syracuse isn't academically rigorous...nor is Univ of MD...nor is BU..what are you talking about?  Those are safety schools for most academically inclined students...[/quote]

This is idiotic. [b]MD has gotten pretty hard to get into[/b] and their engineering programs are great. The Cuse communications school is great (and you apply to it separately). Lots of good choices and fits. I live in VA, if my kid wanted to go to GMU for comp sci or cybsersecurity, I’d say all in. Liberal arts, not so much.  The Ivies and NECSAC do have more privates but that may because of who can afford it as much as anything. Private school gets scouted more, go to NHSLS and see. A few publics there that have a history of placing kids like Ridgewood NJ. [/quote]

Their acceptance rate is 44.2%. If that's "hard to get into" then you're in for a rude awakening.

I am not suggesting once in you cannot get a good education. I am responding to OP who said, "I have noticed that for top programs the majority of college rosters are filled with kids who attended private schools. Do the top colleges lack faith in public school education?" That is insane because the top lacrosse programs are not necessarily competitive colleges so education is not the measurement here. Lacrosse athleticism is. Even public school kids look at many (not all) of the top lacrosse schools as safety schools. [/quote]
