0.03% of test takers get a perfect score on the SAT.  What are the odds that they are big, fast, and excellent lacrosse players?[/quote]

Virtually every player has a 4.0 (or close to), so now that colleges are again requiring test scores, the SAT/ACT was more important in last year's cycle, and will be going forward.

I think we need to calm down on the assertions of perfect grades and scores.  What I think might be more defensible, is that, on average, women's lacrosse recruits have higher grades and test scores than, say, men's football or baseball.  You still have a strong private school, and relatively affluent base in the sport. Beyond the Boston, LI, Philly, Baltimore, DC traditional areas, even in the new hotbeds, like So. California, Georgia, and Florida, the top producing high schools are private or very high-income areas, with resources for schools and to support players' academic success.

But no, successful recruiters don't all have unweighted 4.0s or 1500+ SAT scores.  Not even for the Ivies or NESCAC (although many will).

I don't know the men's side as well, but I would imagine a similar distribution compared to other sports.[/quote]
