Great for girls who want to play lax in college no matter what or where. Not great for kids who want to go to a top rate college and play lax. Michigan is awesome. Otherwise, well . . . yikes.

Seriously? JMU is consistently a Top 20, if not top 15 program and has won a national championship.

JMU is known as a party school and has an 80% acceptance rate.

What is your obsession with acceptance rate? Why does this matter so much to you? There are so many more important factors in choosing a school that is the right fit. If you are looking for schools with low acceptance rates - look at MIT and U of Chicago - they play D3 lacrosse

Because why committ to a college that anyone can get into on their own? None of these kids are going to make a living playing lacrosse so they better get a good education and that means going to the best uni you can. Committing to play at a school no one has ever heard of or that accepts almost everyone who applies is not a good play.

Makes total sense to me. JMU doesn't provide a good education, no one has ever heard of JMU, and anyone who goes to JMU just parties all the time.

Must be a Tech poster who didnt get into JMU

Not sure what planet these posters are from but I cannot think of anyone, literally anyone, in the 2023 class who wouldn’t have at least considered JMU had the coach come calling. It’s a great school, it’s in-state for Va residents, and they just won a national championship. Anyone with a serious interest in lacrosse would have given it a look.

It may not be a "good play" in your opinion - but it might be the right decision for the girl and her family. We don't know what factors they considered before making their decision: money, proximity, legacy, etc. This young woman has choices (*which is what lacrosse provides) and she will receive a great education and play TOP level, D1, lacrosse.

It’s an accepted fact that many, many schools market to kids specifically to get them to apply, so they can reject them, and lower their acceptance rate. USA today and others calculate acceptance rates into their “Best Colleges” ranking, so encouraging lots of applicants makes the school look better. As a result is a misleading statistic.

Why would you assume that just because it is a girls lax thread that it is mom's commenting?

Not all Lax Moms are awful. Those in the Capital world do have a pretty good sense on one or two who are upset and displaying awful tendencies on this site.

Why congrats to only Nova kids?

I think all the clubs being referenced here are NoVa clubs? Did we miss a commit from MC Elite?

Capital is DMV - listed at tournaments as a Washington DC club. Has committs from MD and DC too.
