Hi all!
My son is a rising junior, so he has some time, but has been looking at colleges for about a year. He started looking early because he was considering playing D1 lacrosse, but after touring a few colleges interested in him he realized the schools he could get recruited to, weren’t a good fit for him. They were mostly too big. He’s very excited about Saint Lawrence and plans to visit next week. He’s a multi-sport athlete (football & lacrosse), loves to be in the gym, wants a school under 4,000 students and currently has a 3.5 GPA and scored 1220 on his PSAT’s. He should improve by about 100 points on SAT’s when he takes them in the spring after he takes a prep course. He is a bit of a home body, but all the kids at school like him and he is a leader on the field and in the classroom. He wants a school that really supports the student/athlete. Are the Saints a good fit for him and what other small colleges fit the profile for him? I heard Gettysburg (D3) might be one. He also likes Bates (D3) and Bentley (D2) has expressed interest in recruiting him when he becomes a junior in September. Any help is appreciated!
