I respect your opinion but I also think you fail to realize how difficult  it is right now with COVID for these kids to get into the so called "elite" schools based on academics alone. Admissions are tighter than ever before. It is cascading all the way down the line.

Truly, I am not bashing you at all, I just think if my kid gets into a JMU or Fairfield or any other school and lax helps, that is great.

I think financials play a huge role for these girls (and the teams that recruit them) as well.

If I'm a VA resident and JMU calls. I'd take the call. It's a fantastic school for DMV kids with a great post college network in our area and,price is right compared to any elite Ivies.Their womens lax program is top tier with fantastic facilities. I might consider it over a $250K+ Ivy. Save cash, have a great athletic career, and use that savings towards  an elite grad school afterwards? Just one perspective. [/quote]

This is right and consideration must be given to the fit for the girl and the desired academic program.  DCUM is full of prestige whores who love to crap on everything other than HYPS.  [/quote]

It’s not being a “prestige whore” (your words not mine) to recognize that going to a top tier school, particularly an Ivy and a few others (Stanford, Duke, maybe Hopkins) pretty much guarantees a student who wants it a  [i]desirable[/i][b][/b] internship in the summers and then a great job or leg up into grad school after graduation. And that is a full guarantee if you are an Ivy lax player. The REASON many kids and their families want them to attend an Ivy is because they set you up for the next step better than anywhere else if you do well. It is far easier to get the best internship and/or first job out of school when you graduate from an Ivy. It’s worth far more than the greater tuition payment. The vast number of connections in the most prestigious fields all over the world are unmatched for Ivy grads.  Many of those alum want other alum or Ivy grads.  IYKYK. [/quote]
