[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]D1 Mom. Not referring to Dartmouth recruit AT ALL - just to some of the follow up comments.  All of this using lacrosse to get into a top school is overrated if the kid is just squeaking in. Saying you don’t care if they play another minute or win another game is a pipe dream. It may be a great school, but they will still have to practice, lift, run 4-5 hours a day, travel constantly, have mental breakdowns frequently - all to sit on the bench at games. Actually, stand on the sidelines being told they are not cheering enough. I would caution you - don’t let your kid be miserable. Go to a slightly “lesser” school where your child can thrive and be happy. You can get a great job from every school although you may have to work a little harder. This obsession over using lacrosse to get into certain schools is insane. Your child’s happiness is more important. Speaking from experience, not just my kid but all the ones around her too - with a rare exception![/quote]

The academic prestige obsession is over the top on DCUM. My DD didn’t start playing lacrosse in 2nd grade to get into college. She didn’t continue it to get into college.  She loves lacrosse. Will it help her get into college?  Yes. But even before Sept 1 she crossed off a few better academic schools  because they weren’t a fit for her. One was middle of nowhere and she said, I know it’s a good school and I could probably get in, but I just can’t see myself there.  Go for overall fit. [/quote]
