[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the Heights school an ivy feeder?

None of these Catholic schools are Ivy “feeders”. They usually send a few kids to Ivy League schools and many of them are recruited athletes.

Catholic high schools have an advantage at Catholic colleges. They have established relationships with these schools and long histories. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Jesuit colleges like Georgetown and BC view the applications of students from Jesuit high schools favorably.

And Catholic families are connected to Catholic universities and will frequently choose them over Ivies because of this relationship/ tradition.[/quote]

This. My son chose ND [b]over an ivy[/b].[/quote]

But was he accepted to an IVY?  Or do you mean he chose to apply to ND?[/quote]

I chose ND over an Ivy. Many do, no big deal[/quote]

LOL no no no

Perfect response from one of the many Ivy-obsessed posters on there.

They are incredulous that anyone would make a choice other than the one they would.

While to many it's easy decision, They are not star-struck by the Ivy image.

They read about the required conformity of opinion on these Ivy campuses.

As one parent whose DC chose ND over an Ivy told me, "We were not interested in sending her/him to a place where our family values were under constant attack"

This is buttressed by the exposure of the adults to the Ivy grads they meet, who tell you where they went to college in the first five minutes of any conversation.
