[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lower tier D1, D2 and D3. Many go the NESCAC route if grades are good.[/quote]

Always feels like NESCAC is a playground for wealthy white don’t make high ed D1. [/quote]

How to tell us you know nothing about the NESCAC schools without saying so.  Your "always feel[ing]" is way off and sounds like a jealous missive from the 80s.  Where to start?  These are some of the most rigorous academic institutions in the country and have made an ongoing commitment to diversity and finding some of the best students, and in this case, student-athletes in the country.  Recent ISL grad could easily have gone high D1, for example.  She has won 2 national championships while getting a great education instead.  Others who couldn't have made high D1, appropriately continue playing the sports they love in D3 while getting a great education.  And on the wealthy point--5 of the NESCAC schools, including the 2-time defending national champion for women's lax, are need blind for all applicants.  Just uninformed across the board.[/quote]

I agree with all of this EXCEPT - please stop acting like they are affordable to middle class americans. Most people make to much to get anything need based but not enough to afford $90K a year. Frankly, this comment from posters like you simply make you sound out of touch. [/quote]

$90k is a stretch even for people who are in the top 1%[/quote]

1%-ers can easily afford this if they buy a cheaper house, drive older cars, don’t join a country club, don’t buy a second home, don’t take crazy vacations, don’t buy designer clothes, don’t buy ridiculous jewelry, etc. If you’re in the 1% and you save and invest instead of splurging and tryin’ to keep up with the Jones’ it’s actually quite attainable.
