Admissions data: U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard, 2018 to 2023. "Not reported" means the school does not publish that figure; junior colleges are typically open enrollment.
What these numbers say about this list
Across the 240 D3 men's lacrosse programs nationwide, the median published admit rate is 76 percent. The most selective is Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge at 5 percent, and the most accessible is Spalding University at 99 percent. The highest test band belongs to Amherst College, where the middle 50 percent of admitted students score 1,490 to 1,580 on the SAT. School size spans 244 undergraduates at Bryn Athyn College to 18,376 at Montclair State University, which changes campus life far more than the lacrosse does. The biggest single cluster is the Great Northeast Athletic Conference with 14 of the 240 programs. 84 of the 240 sit in our highest academic tier, worth knowing if you are stacking academic money on top of a roster spot. Admissions figures cover 237 of the 240 programs; the rest do not report to the College Scorecard.
How to use this list
A target list works best when it spans levels. Pick a handful of programs where you would be one of the stronger recruits, a group where you fit the current roster, and a few reaches. Use the admit rate and SAT columns the same way: schools admitting above 76 percent with a test band at or below your score are academic safeties, and the single-digit schools are reaches no matter how good your film is.
