Many - I get on the metro at either the redline at shady grove or Rockville and see plenty of Gonzaga boys riding metro or Marc to school - there and back. It’s a really short walk - maybe 5 minutes if that from Union station to the school. |
Georgetown Prep.
You're welcome. |
This. My GZ boy was in carpools from Rockville for freshman-junior years. Senior year he got a parking spot and drove his own carpool. Generally the carpool is morning only due to divergent after school schedules. Return home on metro. Easy, but time consuming. Worth it. |

The Episcopal Church hierarchy does not exert control over curriculum. |
Neither does the Catholic church at the independent Catholic schools. This only happens in parochial schools (parish schools). |
that's not what "many" means. |
More than a third choose ND over Yale. I would say that fits the definition of many. The PP didn't say "more." https://www.parchment.com/c/college/tools/college-cross-admit-comparison.php?compare=Yale+University&with=University+of+Notre+Dame |
Sure. Great argument. So I'm not wrong when I say "few choose ND over Yale" since a touch over 33% clearly constitutes a minority. |
But you didn't say "a minority". You said "a few". Two different things. |
I would say "few" fits the definition of "a minority". https://www.dictionary.com/browse/few |
I think it is known to be a nice school - mostly appeals to Catholics and is very athletic and it is more down to earth and diverse economically and geographically than some other all boys schools. I can see the appeal. Less country club families. |
It's actually 37%. And I would consider that to be many relative to expectations of a non ivy going up against an ivy. Let's take a look at other top schools going up against Yale. I would say on some of these (USC, Rice, Vanderbilt, Northwestern), you could say "few" pick it over Yale, but with most schools, "many" pick them over Yale. I would say a third or more constitutes many. If a school is picked over 50% of the time, I would use the term "most." |
Okay. Got it. So it's not "many choose ND over Yale"...it's "relative to what one would expect, a surprisingly large minority of people choose ND over Yale". Cool. |
Yes you got it. Bottom line, many people pick Notre Dame over Yale and other top ivy league schools. Why? Because it offers things that people want that those ivies don't. Similar situation with schools like the Naval Academy, where 44% chose it over Yale. It offers something unique that is impossible for Yale to deliver. Glad I was able to explain this to you and you finally get it. |
