[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m guessing your son doesn’t go to Blair?

College counselors know Montgomery County schools. They know the DCC schools aren’t Whitman/Churchill and that they serve a different demographic. I don’t think they’ll think your son is some entitled, privileged lax bro type of kid à la a Georgetown Prep lax bro or similar.

Your son will be fine. best of luck to him and his team this season!

This is true for local schools, but I wouldn’t count on it for smaller LACs far away. “Lacrosse” and “Maryland suburb of DC” will absolutely equal a super privileged lax bro - OP isn’t crazy. [/quote]
Like what smaller LACs further away? All the top ones know MoCo schools. If you mean some lower ranked, smaller LAC further away that may not know our high schools, if they see Maryland suburb of DC Lax player, they *may* think he's privileged but that can work in his favor because they might think "hey...we are getting someone who potentially has money"[/quote]
