Title says it all. We're open to DC or MD, coed or boys schools. Thanks!

Sorry. I just saw you wanted DC and MD. These are both in VA.

That's not correct. SJC received about 1350 applications and accepted around 300 kids last year, and GC, I think, received around 1000 applications and accepted around 300 kids. My kid doesn't go to either, but I don't think any private school accepts around 50% of its applicants.

How do you know these numbers? I didn’t think most high schools here published the number of apps they receive.

My kid applied to both and was accepted, and they mentioned the numbers in the acceptance letter. I don't have the letters anymore, but I'm pretty sure the numbers are close. The acceptance rate was around 20-25%, definitely not 50%.

I have no doubt this is true. Lots of mediocre and good students apply to both GC and St John’s. There are far more mediocre and good students collectively than excellent/stellar students. The excellent//stellar students typically apply and aim to get into Visi/Stone Ridge/Prep/Gonzaga and use GC and St John’s as back ups so GC and St. John’s actually get MORE applications than the top schools because everyone applies there. The high number of applications and yield at St. John’s doesn’t mean that the school is highly competitive though. It’s like saying that because more people buy leggings from Walmart than Lululemon, that Walmart therefore must have the best leggings.

The freshman class at each of these is between 300-325ish, so they accept many more than that because some percentage decline as almost everyone applies to multiple schools. They do publish the number of applicants but not the number accepted because the actual number of accepted students who enroll is a percentage - the yield in admission lingo. Most schools don’t make their yield public info.
