[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't waist your time  looking at gonzaga, as good as an athlete you might think your son is, gonzaga has numbers. They have 1,000 boys to choose from and are pulling in kids from all around the beltway given it'd metro proximity to union station. Not sure if you're son is basketball  or football player but he beter be pretty damn good as the coaching staffs are known to over recruit down on eye street.

If your son is a 3 sport athlete I would encourage you to look at the smaller IAC schools (prep, landon and saint Albans). All three of them have  stronger academic reputations than Gomzaga, Saint Albans being the most academically challenging .

Lastly, I would encourage you to meet the coaches at the schools you are considering too.

I agree. Many boys go to Gonzaga because of the athletics and don't ever see the playing field. If they had gone to one of the IAC schools mentioned they could be a 4 year Varsity athlete and start.

On the other hand, I don't know anybody that regretted going to Gonzaga even though they were disappointed to miss out on their favorite sports. (They do over roster for example, they roster about 40 kids for lax (as do other schools), so you can make the team, just not play.) [/quote]
