| My guess is that the few kids from Sidwell that pick a Boston College over ND are full pay non- Catholics. |
Some people gamble their retirement savings and house away on blackjack. Some people leave their families to drink 24/7 in Atlantic City. Other people may make different decisions. |
Yup. ND>BC every time. |
Anyone going to BC from sidwell would go to ND if they had an acceptance letter in hand. They don’t disagree, they didn’t get in. |
No, they most likely didn’t apply to ND. Sidwell students are not interested in attending a (fairly conservative) Catholic university in the middle of nowhere. |
Emory isn’t a great college experience for undergrad. The campus is limited and it’s not as good as Tech or UGA in terms of options relative to price (which for most GA students, the latter two will be free). It’s kind of a no brainer. |
BC is full of maga fanatics. This is splitting hairs. |
| Obviously poster who says ND is fairly conservative, has no idea about BC ‘s heritage as poor working class Irish-American working class school until the 1980’s. They did a good job elevating those first generation college students but it’s safe to say their offspring are not going to Sidwell. Among top Catholic schools Georgetown is most liberal followed by Holy Cross then ND and BC. Last week when 150 college Presidents signed onto letter supporting Harvard Presidents of Georgetown, Holy Cross, and ND signed on. |
| ND>BC>HC. Villanova is roughly similar to BC. I work with lots of parents of Chaminade and Delbarton boys and that is the ranking order at both schools. |
BC’s president didn’t sign? Shameful. And yes, of course children of BC alums aren’t at places like Sidwell |
ND has way more than BC. I think they both suck though. |
So 90% v 85% Maga. |
Why are you people acting like Sidwell students are beating down ND or BC’s doors? Sidwell is sending about 2 students to BC this year. I’m sure they: 1. Didn’t apply to ND, and 2. BC was the best school that admitted them. The bottom half of Sidwell’s class has to attend college somewhere. |
You sat around and counted? Sad. |
This is correct. The students from Sidwell going to BC, bottom half students, are not getting into ND and need safeties. |
