[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The obvious: BC, Villanova, Santa Clara, safety Holy Cross. But you must have considered all these?  [/quote]
Holy Cross a safety? Hardly.[/quote]
My kid is at a Jesuit high school where lots of kids go on to these colleges. Holy Cross accepts 100% of the kids who applied. The scattergram is literally filled with green circles. So that's what I based my recommendation on. Villanova is a much harder admit.  Of course, I don't know OP's kid's info.[/quote]

Are you guys talking about Holy Cross in Indiana near Notre Dame or College of the Holy Cross in Mass? The one in Mass is pretty hard to get into these days. The one in Indiana is not.[/quote]

Acceptance rate at HC is around 40%[/quote]

That stat is misleading. HC is the type of school that doesn’t get kids just applying in large numbers. It is a particular type of kid. In this day and age pure admissions rates are out the window.

Look at common data set.

That said, if you think you kid was competitive to get into ND or GU, you should be fine. [/quote]

I looked up the cds for holy cross

1420 is the 75th percentile at hc

That’s super low if you are at the median for nd/gu

A median scoring unhooked kid at nd and gt is 75th+ percentile at hc

And if you layer on top being full pay and from a Catholic school — hc is a safety for said aforementioned profile [/quote]

Yes the OP kid should get in. But to call it an easy safety generally is not correct.

[/quote]
If kid is from a Jesuit HS and was competitive for ND & GU, the HC is a safety. [/quote]
