You people are ridiculous. My surprise was at how they had manned this particular panel.

We attended a packed auditorium info session and the AO asked how many kids went to Jesuit high schools and I was surprised DS was the only one, and only a handful attended a Catholic hs.

NP. BC did feel distinctly more Catholic to us than Georgetown. For some that may be a positive, others a negative. *shrug*

I think the point is that they don’t “man” the panel. They schedule the student volunteers (or work study students) according to class schedule and other factors, without regard to race, sex or religion.

Notre Dame had 45% of their incoming class coming from public, 36% from Catholic, and 19% from non-Catholic private.

BC had 49% from public, 26% from Catholic/Jesuit, and 25% from non-Catholic private.

Georgetown is
Public: 47%
Jesuit: 7%
Catholic: 11%
Independent: 34%

I would find it surprising (and not in a good way) if they make no effort to have different perspectives on a panel.

Fortunately your kid has other options.

So they should have gone with “be sure to add a Jew and Muslim”? You’d be happy then?

People who went to Jesuit high schools can't have "different perspectives"? Huh?

Are you the person who was at the session with the panel?

Oh so it is good that kids don’t go to mass? Got it.

The initial question was regarding environment for non-Catholics. Non-Catholics don't go to mass, got it?

Nobody is making your kid go to mass but it seems that you have issue with others going?

No one cares who goes to mass and who does not. Just pointing out that from my small sample there is nothing happening among peers that would make you feel like you don’t belong because of your religion.

If kids going to mass would make your kid feel unwelcome, find another school. You never know what group of kids he will end up with. My DS doesn’t attend mass, but of his four roommates, two were very devout. It didn’t impact his friendship with them at all.

My DC is at BC now. Did not go to catholic HS and does not go to mass

Hassling people for not being Catholic is pretty much the opposite of what the Jesuits are about.
