That's not correct. SJC received about 1350 applications and accepted around 300 kids last year, and GC, I think, received around 1000 applications and accepted around 300 kids. My kid doesn't go to either, but I don't think any private school accepts around 50% of its applicants. [/quote]

I have no doubt this is true. Lots of mediocre and good students apply to both GC and St John’s. There are far more mediocre and good students collectively than excellent/stellar students.  The excellent//stellar students typically apply and aim to get into Visi/Stone Ridge/Prep/Gonzaga and use GC and St John’s as back ups so GC and St. John’s actually get MORE applications than the top schools because everyone applies there. The high number of applications and yield at St. John’s doesn’t mean that the school is highly competitive though.  It’s like saying that because more people buy leggings from Walmart than Lululemon, that Walmart therefore must have the best leggings. [/quote]
