[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are great schools and truly happy for all girls, but you cannot ignore that being full pay and not needing any $ is a key factor to going fast. Others who may have multiple offers are in the process of making family decisions about cost as well as fit and prestige.

I know some who really won’t or can’t consider the Ivy League. Yes, great financial aid if you qualify, but many threads across college boards talk about donut families in the middle. These are personal decisions, but with lacrosse or not, families with smart, capable kids pick schools for a variety of reasons including cost and overall family budget to educate their children. Some may “save” that money for law school or graduate school where the name of the school or program usually matters far more.

As someone else said - Speed doesn’t “win” here. For example, YJ Manning may have the strongest 26 crop of girls from a club with arguably the strongest reputation among colleges and only a few have committed so far. It is not for lack of choices I am sure.

DMV does not have exclusive claim to smart, lacrosse girls. That seems naive; and an Ivy commitment isn’t the “prize” for everyone. The  Cap parent(s) comments (or whomever it is) on here that keeps saying this and has claimed CLC has won recruiting is silly. This is not to diminish the awesome schools those girls committed to - it is truly great when girls find their fit and commit to a dream school. [/quote]

26 Capital players committing early to ivies also received multiple offers from other great programs. They chose ivy because they were in a fortunate financial position to be able to prioritize their futures over a sport that ends after graduation.  [/quote]

Exactly! This seems to be so obvious, but apparently not to some people.[/quote]

“fortunate financial position” is the key and the entitled attitude that those who may not be in the same position don’t also want to prioritize their futures over the sport alone is ridiculous. Heck, they may also have just as good of grades and SATs and will have a bright future after college at a non-ivy school.

It is not a no-brainer actually even if you can technically afford it - but it will exhaust all your college resources - to think about if another school makes sense and you save the money for medical school or law school or grad school. That IS thinking about the future post lax.

Also love the defensive nature trying to assert that they all had multiple offers … OK. The point is others with multiple offers take longer because there is a financial analysis families are doing weighing total net cost of schools and offers that can provide merit and athletic. Some actually turn down the Ivy League - gasp - even in the past some CLC players. I guess they threw their whole future after lacrosse away according to you because they didn’t “get it”. [/quote]

Ok but what is your point? For these girls it was an easy decision. Others chose differently. What is your beef exactly?[/quote]
