[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I generally look at college acceptances to get a feel for academics. https://www.instagram.com/dmcollegecommits2025/[/quote]

I know some many disagree, but I don't think this is not the best indicator of academic quality. So many factors, beyond, academics go in to college admission, including socioeconomic status, race, location and academics, etc.

DeMatha serves a larger percentage of middle and low income students than some of the other Catholic schools it's compared to so that might be a factor as to why you see more of them going to in-state colleges. They also serve a higher percentage of Black students hence why you'll see more HBCU enrollment than others.

If there a way to have an apples to apples comparison of these IG posts that factored in full pay vs. financial aid, athletics vs. non, etc. that would be one thing, but college admissions is not the clean proxy for academic quality that people want it to be.
