[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My impression is that the Gonzaga waitlist is easier to get off of than, say, the Visitation one. Partially because it's a bigger class. I know of several students who were initially waitlisted then got offered admission. I do think to improve waitlist chances it's important to write the secondary letter they ask for and get help from the principal (if at a K-8). I think showing real enthusiasm and saying you will definitely take a spot if offered one helps. GL to everyone. [/quote]

I buy that the Visi WL moves less than the GZA one. Part of that is because GZA is bigger, but part of it is because Visi has a higher yield. It’s the overwhelming first choice of a higher percentage of applicants than Gonzaga is. Gonzaga’s percentage of these people is high, but Visi’s is higher.

In guessing at their yield from any one group of admitted freshman, the Gonzaga staff has to consider how many admits will opt instead for Prep, St Anselms, or St John’s (Md and DC) or for Ireton or O’Connell (VA)

I was surprised to find that GZA had become a safety (or alternative)  school for boys who also apply to St Albans and maybe even Landon. [/quote]

Why are you surprised? My son chose Gonzaga over STA and never regretted it. I know another boy that did the same a few year prior to my son. [/quote]

So that’s 1 out of 250? or 00.4%?[/quote]
