[quote=Anonymous]Many D3 players, especially at NESCACs, are ones that through D1 recruiting didn’t find a match since they weren’t willing to compromise on academics, college fit, etc. simply to say they played D1 lacrosse. Others never wanted D1 because of what they were looking for academically, size, commitment level, or location wise. Playing an NCAA sport,  especially at the D1 level, is a job so student athletes should be going into it knowing it’s a good school fit outside of lacrosse and that they’ll graduate with a degree they’ll feel will help set themselves up for success in their careers. Bottom line is lacrosse won’t be a career for most of these student athletes and some won’t play all 4 years of college. So find the right fit academically. Also, with the NESCACS the player needs to be able to be admitted academically almost independently of their sport, and in some cases be able to pay full fare. And a 3.7 unweighted GPA from the right high academic day or boarding school will be fine based on rigor—remember many of these schools top high schools don’t offer APs or weighted GPAs since their classes are all college prep level. But admissions staff at NESCACs know this versus a candidate coming from a public school or less rigorous independent school. All of that said—plenty of great schools and lacrosse programs at the D1, D2, and D3 levels and club lacrosse. Good luck to your son![/quote]
