[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]60% acceptance rate $60k tuition per year (plus the rest).

It's not highly regarded in CA, it's considered middle-of-the-road.

Parent with kids in CA high schools now, looking at colleges. [/quote]

Does it have something else going for it? For example a good co-op program or dedicated teachers or some unusual study model? Just trying to find a sensible reason to like it, aside from the fact that it's easy to get into and CA.[/quote]

I disagree with this as well.  Obviously it’s not in the same league as Berkeley, Stanford, UCLA. It’s most similar to USC, except smaller, undergraduate focused and Jesuit. 52% of students come from private schools. Diverse but it also has a bro culture which is rare in California. [/quote]

I live in WA state. My kid is at a school with a huge group of parents who were born and raised here, went to Santa Clara, and came straight back. It’s where rich graduates from our private school with good but not awesome grades aspire to go. I think the school offers a lot of opportunities but most of the kids I know who go there are most comfortable in a little bubble and want to do something business-y.[/quote]
