You have to be kidding. |

I love the Trading Places reference. |

These seem like very easy questions you could ask admissions. Instead you choose to start a DCUM thread on the college decision insta and somehow are wondering how that ties into service as an adult? You are twisting yourself into knots and I am not exactly sure over what. Or you are just some troll looking to bash Gonzaga over funny insta posts about teen boys. Wow. |

Agree. How about just asking: how would people say the service mission of the school plays out for young men after they leave the school or later in life? |

(1) this isn't true, and (2) non-diverse country club kids are more likely to go into things like film studies and English because they have, you know, mom and dad's money to fall back on. |

The way to game the system is to indicate interest in a niche humanities major such as anthropology, gender studies, or East Asian studies. It will help you stand out and also wash away some of the "privilege" stench from the application. Once you're in the college, just switch your major to what you really want to study. |

Well, OP, clutching your pearls, my son graduated last year. He chose a Jesuit college BECAUSE of the values instilled by Gonzaga. He attends mass on his own at school. He was involved in Campus Ministry at Gonzaga and his Kairos experience was transformative for him. My son is a marketing major with a Spanish minor. He writes for the school newspaper- another thing he did at Gonzaga. We aren’t a country club family. We actually were the only family from our zip code at Gonzaga.
So, ignore the Instagram. It’s tongue in cheek. |

DS is an underclassman at Gonzaga and we love the school. The seniors we know all are very bright, nice kids (kind, hardworking, friendly, comfortable speaking with adults, etc.). They’ve all done a good amount of service work because the school requires it and some are very service oriented, doing way more than what is required.
In terms of their Instagram stated life goals, some answered the question seriously but most OBVIOUSLY were making a joke. None of the life goals, IMO, (serious or joking) seemed to be “make lots of money”) so your your take on it seems off to me, OP. |

| Love when all the cult parents who are probably in their purple shirts come to this thread to say "Gonzaga is the best". We just got Dad more purple shirts to wear for father's day so he can relive his high school days. |

It’s great to like your child’s school. Gonzaga parents make it part of their personality. Come on now, that is really weird. |
