Seriously? Not funny.

No, that's Justice High School. I guess the name change didn't help much.

Good placement to Maryland, Catholic and Elon.

That’s it?

Several UVA
Several UPenn
Harvard
Dartmouth
Johns Hopkins
GW
Georgetown
Several Wake Forest
Several Naval Academy
West Point
Cornell
Villanova
Univ of Southern California
Duke
Boston College
RPI
Wash U. in St. Louis
Holy Cross
Clemson
Georgia Tech

Is that the all time list for Gonzaga, or just this year? Let’s be serious, Gonzaga’s not known for their academics.

It's definitely a multi-year list. Gonzaga college placement is nowhere near that good.

Sorry to disappoint all you haters, but this is a 2020 list - obviously not all of them, but still.

So, based on the Instagram posts, most of the upper-tier admissions were for sports:

Harvard: Lacrosse
WashU: Track
Penn: Crew
Penn: Football
Navy: Crew
Navy: Football
Navy: Lacrosse
Hopkins: Track
Wake: Football
Georgetown: Baseball
Georgetown: Swimming

If you take sports out, you have 2 Ivy admits, 1 Dartmouth and 1 Cornell, and 1 Duke admit. EVERY public school in Fairfax would beat those numbers, even adjusted for size.

Congratulations to all involved, except for the creepy parent that stalked a bunch of high schoolers on Instagram.

Oh please. It takes a grand total of 2 minutes to browse the list... https://www.instagram.com/gonzagaseniors/ Many high schools have similar lists, and it is informative to see them.

It's like a 1980's flashback with those names.

It doesn't matter if it take 2 hours or 2 seconds. Unless you are a Gonzaga parent and know these kids, it is creepy AF.

Yet here you are reading and posting in a "Class of 2020 College Placement Results" thread. Pot meet kettle.

It’s not creepy at all. First the private school world of Washington is small so must in it probably know kids at every school ( I do). Second it’s a great way to finally see a full list (often with a note if kid is a recruited athlete) and be able to compare how well the different schools do with college admissions. It’s the first completely clear evidence of how good the local privates really are.

I wouldn’t wish this year’s senior experience on any child - except maybe the part where so many kids are
coming off the waitlists at selective dream schools. It is a small consolation in the short term but in the long term a huge benefit.

Now I feel for this year’s HS juniors who will face that much more of a competitive environment next year as all those deferrals and gap year kids come back on the scene. This year’s junior class was also the year of i9/11 babies and sniper infants. In many ways it is the class of 2021 who will feel the true repercussions of the pandemic...

Not disagreeing with you. Sniper infant is a new to me term. What does it mean? And were 9/11 babies a thing? Or are you referring to babies simply born that year?

But what’s a sniper infant? Kids born that year? Odd term and I’m not sure how that would have impacted the rising seniors.

Kids who were born from sept 2001-Aug 2002 are seniors in hs now for the most part. Im sure a small amount are juniors now and a small amount are freshmen in college. My kid was born in Nov 2001 and I have never heard the term 9/11 babies, as in those babies are somehow suffering today. Can you elaborate?

My 2020 graduate is an anthrax baby. Our oldest was 4 during Halloween 2001 and we were some of the only people taking our kid trick or treating. It was so scary and sad... DH and I drank a lot of wine that night...and now we have a 17-year-old.

I was much more scared and stressed to leave my house during the DC Sniper attacks than during covid. If I have to go to the store now, I just put on a mask, use hand sanitzer and wash my hands. But during the sniper attacks, I was weaving my way through parking lots and leaning my car seat back while pumping gas. It was so stressful.

Nobody is saying it wasn’t stressful. But with is a “sniper infant” or “9/11 baby”? How would being an infant during those times broadly impact rising seniors??
