[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A little sensitive? That’s not what I said at all. All I said is that Gonzaga is the top choice for many kids and can also be pretty close to a safety school for others.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Regardless of whether it’s because of size, supply vs. demand or anything else, the acceptance rate at Gonzaga allows it to be [b]a reasonably sure thing[/b] for a very good student and is less of an admission crapshoot than some of the NWDC schools.

That doesn’t make it bad, less than, inferior, attacked or disliked. Not sure why you can’t accept that.[/quote]

Gonzaga is not a sure thing for any student, even someone with straight A's and 99% HSPT. Many strong students (even Catholic and coming from parochial schools) are denied admission. So a kid coming from a non Catholic or public school will certainly be less likely to gain admission even with high stats. Is it more likely than a place like Prep and STA? Yes, and that is only because of it's sheer size.[/quote]
