@cinnamon1212

Has he begun the recruiting process? (If not, he should get on that asap). If he has, what kind of feedback has he had?

Right right. If he’s a recruitable athlete to D3 men’s lacrosse teams, he should be engaged in this process right now. (Here’s a non-confirmed list of schools.) You will want to have a real sense of the possibilities here as he’s doing the rest of the work. If he is recruitable, then the schools and their conferences will dictate the academic standards.

@cinnamon1212

So to get a lot – and others can chime in as to whether $50,000 a year (for a private school) is realistic – he will have to drop down a few levels academically. That is, he would focus on schools where he’s in the top 10%,wrt academic stats.

I think the list of D3 schools with >1500 students that have the merit budget to take students down to $30K where this student will be in the top 10% is very small. Adrian? Fairleigh Dickinson? Gettysburg? Ithaca? (Possibly Ithaca.) I’m just guessing here.

Sounds like you should definitely reach out to @laxmom24! Good luck.
