The top Catholics have picked up more former Ivy students.  In fact, many many students at top Catholic HSs don't even apply to Ivies and don't want to engage in the BS.  [/quote]

That has been true for a long time. I don't think our Catholic school has ever had more than 11 applicants to Ivy schools in a given year. Even my public high school in a different area shows from their data that the top Catholic students do not apply to the Ivies. That said, I think the data also shows that some Ivy schools are showing an increase the Catholic student enrollment (not intentionally, just what the data shows). Example, while Princeton would not admit Catholics in the early years of the 20th century, they are now almost 25% of all students and the largest religious group on campus. Yale is also up to 25% and Harvard 22% (also the largest group).[/quote]
