My son got in the low $20K from them as a B student. He got more from Loyola MD where he is a student now.

Yes!

A few years ago my 1220/3.5uw/no AP kid got admitted with 70% of tuition merit. Chose not to attend (got into two schools in the 80s and selected one). But if top student they want you and will pay

No, just is not interested in applying to Georgetown. Doesn't want to be in DC itself. We are Catholic, kid went to Catholic school, that's the extent of the reason on the Catholic applications. Just asking about the two schools that I did because teen likes both those when looking into schools closest to DMV. One for basketball, and the other has friends applying to Villanova. No other reason.

Well, if that's the case, you can consider all the Jesuit schools. Providence College too (which is not Jesuit)!

Yes, but would have to drive past Villanova and Seton Hall to get to Rhode Island. If not the first two, the third choice was Notre Dame, but no due to location.

OK, is this for real? There's no way these schools would fit for the same student. *Maybe* Villanova could be a safety for Notre Dame. Seton Hall I'd guess is non-selective; no student who could be admitted at ND (or Villanova for that matter) would travel out of state for Seton Hall. There are a lot of Catholic schools that have D1 basketball teams. I'd suggest your student think a bit about academic match and geography preference before coming up with a list of schools.

Stats are 4.0 weighted, APs and extra-curriculars. Geography preference east coast south of NY.

NP. To clarify, while Villanova might be a less-preferred choice, or backup, for ND, its acceptance rate is too low to be a safety.
