Odds of Hanging On
Benchwarmer, GPA: 1.8
You're at the end of a very long bench on your college team. And just look at those grades. Or, don't. They're pretty scary. You're not taking lax to the max, so you've decided to set your sights on improving that way-below-average GPA.
Benchwarmer, GPA: 2.2
You haven't exactly wowed anybody with your lacrosse skills (or your math skills, for that matter). You can't have a miracle on the field if you're out on academic probation. You know you've got ninety-nine problems, and lacrosse and keeping up with your coursework are at least two of them.
Three to five minutes per game on the field, GPA: 3.0
Your team, a conference powerhouse, has been blowing your competition out of the water. You might have seen more play time with a lesser team. But hey, enjoy the wins.
Five to ten minutes per game on the field, GPA: 2.6
You must be doing something right. The coaches are giving you actual play time as a freshman. That's crazy-impressive. You know what's not crazy-impressive? Your GPA. And you do know this, actually. You've hired a tutor so that you don't crash and burn.
Ten to twenty minutes per game on the field, GPA: 3.4
You've been able to make an immediate impact on your college squad, thanks to your awesome work ethic. You've never missed a practice. Unlike some people.
