[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son does not attend a parish school. He attends an independent, k-8 school. Our family is Catholic, but not involved in any significant level at our church beyond attending occasional mass. We do give money to our parish regularly, but not sure the priest knows our family. Does being Catholic even help admission to Gonzaga in this situation? [/quote] Completely anecdotal, but my DS was in public school and got into every Catholic school he applied to. During his confirmation interview with the parish priest, the priest asked him what he was thinking of for high school, and DS told him the list, but said he wasn't sure he had a shot coming from a public middle school. The priest said, "Don't worry. You'll get in." I thought he was just being kind (he didn't know anything about DS's scores or grades and DS didn't ask for a recommendation or anything like that). But then, he did get in everywhere. [/quote]
