Catholic HS Application Process — any insight?

Your principal plays a significant role in the admissions process. Speak with her or him about your concerns.

Yes.


They pretty much always do since applications almost always exceed Admissions.

The length of the waitlist and the probability of being put on it and offered admission from it depend on the school.

Some Catholic schools are just harder to get accepted into.


Which ones are the hardest to get into?


The smaller ones are harder

Prep
St Anselms
Visitation
Stone Ridge
Gonzaga (even though it is 1,000 students it's highly sought after)

Larger ones are generally easier

St John's (getting harder every year)
Paul VI (because of its new location and dearth of alternatives)
Good Counsel
O'Connell
Ireton




These "easier" schools, some have over 200 students on their waitlist, so I don't know how "easy" that is.

The post above didn’t say “easy”, it said “easier”.

it compared Schools like Georgetown Prep and Good Counsel.
