[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SJC needs to improve its academic perception.

Lacrosse families tend to come from affluent backgrounds (I know I am making a generalization) and generally leverage lacrosse to get their son into a school he could not have go into on his own. I can't imagine there are lacrosse families at IAC schools who are biting at the bit to get their son into Towson or High Point to play lacrosse.

If you look at SJC college lacrosse placement over the years, its BAD and is LIGHT YEARS behind what you would see at Prep or Landon and probably even Gonzaga.

SJC will need to improve its academic perception if it wants to get kids into Ivy League schools, NESCAC, and the Georgetown and the Notre Dame's of the world. Until the academic component is addressed, I think it will be play catch up to the IAC schools and Gonzaga for a long time.

The Ivy League uses its own Academic Index to allow schools to admit recruited athletes. The NESCAC borrows it for their own purposes.

The Academic Index looks at two things; SAT Score and Class Rank. Sorry, there's no weight given for the reputation of the high school.

The Academic Index profile of all athletes recruited in a year must match the profile of the total student body. So each school's is a little different.[/quote]
