Thanks for posting all the numbers so folks can see just how low the overall graduation rates are at Jesuit colleges. |

W&L is a top 10 LAC. It is extremely hard to get into. |

Why, exactly? The discussion is directly on point -- which colleges are the best bet for a B student. |

Wow. You conveniently forgot: Georgetown 95 percent Holy Cross 92 percent Boston College 91 percent Santa Clara 85 percent Fordham 83 percent Gonzaga 83 percent Creighton 78 percent Loyola Marymount 78 percent John Carroll 72 percent Le Moyne 72 percent St Louis 72 percent San Francisco 71 percent Xavier 71 percent Rockhurst 69 percent Loyola New Orleans 62 percent St Peter's, by the way, is two-thirds URM and does remarkably well with its demographic. Finally, I also said if I were looking I'd go for a 10 ten regionally ranked school, not every single Jesuit school in the country. However, having said that, comparing all the Jesuit schools to all the CTLC schools it's pretty clear that overall the Jesuit schools have higher graduation rates without having tougher admission rates. Lots of B students. You're really going to argue that Jesuit colleges don't compare well to CTCL schools? If you're going to play, play fair -- don't cite partial data that focuses only on the least selective Jesuit schools. Play fair. |

| Yawn. This thread wasn’t nearly as helpful as I hoped it would be. Can the two fighting about Jesuit schools (??) move on? |

| Neither can construct a decent argument. |

To sum up, the average graduation rate at Jesuit schools is 76 percent excluding St Peters and 74 percent including the school.
By my count, only 7/9 CTCL schools are higher than the Jesuit average -- with 35/37 below it. We have a clear winner. |

Explain why suggesting a Jesuit school to a B student isn't any more relevant than a CTCL school please. |

Yeah - except that the schools you are espousing (Fairfield, Scranton, Providence, Fordham) are provincial at best as are their student bodies. And I'd say Providence and Fordham are both in sh$t neighborhoods. Can't speak to Scranton. Fairfield is full of dim witted bridge and tunnel wanna-be Lax Bros - now that I am thinking about it I'd put Fordham in the same category - and Rose Hill is a sh$thole. I know I spent years there. Those Fordham kids don't belong in that neighborhood - they are prey for the locals. And when Fordham offered my daughter 35k off - my DW and I said no way are you going to Fordham. What - to get falling down drunk and picked up by the 52nd precinct cops and brought back. There's a reason the whole campus is gated. And Fairfield - God forbid my kid turns into one of those entitled, spoiled, knuckleheads. And can we talk about the wholesale pedophile's running the Catholic church at any point ? Is this an organization that you are recommending I support ? How did you get your head so far up your arse ? |

It would be fine to suggest one and move on - but you’re not going to move on, are you? If you keep derailing the thread with your insistence on having the last word about something so irrelevant, I’ll be happy to report you. MOVE ON. |

Insufferable. Go away. |

+10000 I went to Providence and this is spot on. Its culture is such that I would not encourage my child to go there. |

You won't get into University of Maryland with a B average. Uh uh! |
