[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 who attended SJC and 3rd starting this fall. We are also a Deal family. SJC used to be a lot easier to get into when my oldest entered. [b]From the people we know who applied from Deal for this fall few made it in.[/b] I don’t know if that is because the Deal applications are up or if more kids are picking SJC from the ADW schools.

We love it. Great school with really nice kids. [/quote]

Few made it in from Deal to any privates--it was much worse from Deal to the big 3 privates and the Catholics like Visitation and Gonzaga.  These last two schools basically took 1 kid each from Deal and the kids they took are Catholic and either standout (all city) athletes or legacy or both.    One the "big 3" side of things I know 10-15 kids who applied out from Deal for every 1 who go in to any top private.  As a result, all are going to Wilson except for the SJC contingent.  [/quote]

Bullsh*t.  Deal is a huge school.  How do you know what kids got into what private schools from it? You have absolutely no idea and are just pulling numbers out of your a$$.  I’ll bet Deal itself couldn’t answer the question.[/quote]

NP the bigger privates sort of don’t take deal kids on principle unless they are super at something and this is openly known. They know that it is simply parents opting out of Wilson and they nor the kids are acclimated to the engagement the privates entail. [/quote]
