I have no doubt this is true. Lots of mediocre and good students apply to both GC and St John’s. There are far more mediocre and good students collectively than excellent/stellar students. The excellent//stellar students typically apply and aim to get into Visi/Stone Ridge/Prep/Gonzaga and use GC and St John’s as back ups so GC and St. John’s actually get MORE applications than the top schools because everyone applies there. The high number of applications and yield at St. John’s doesn’t mean that the school is highly competitive though. It’s like saying that because more people buy leggings from Walmart than Lululemon, that Walmart therefore must have the best leggings.[/quote]

I don’t know why people post comments like this. I have DC at both SJC and one of the other schools. The smartest, most academic by far, attends SJC.[/quote]

That means nothing. Your smartest and most academic child might be dumb as rocks compared to other children. And even if I were to buy into your inference that your child is a genius, so what?  St. John will net at least [i]some[/I]bright kids. It's just that most of them aren't academic standouts or what one would consider to be the tippy top of their 8th grade classes. It's not bad or good, it just is.[/quote]
