[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prep also cares A LOT about them being your #1 choice. Of all the schools DS applied for, none made it as important as Prep. If you or your son even hesitate about them being your top choice in the interview, you might be waitlisted. This has been our experience and we have heard this from other parents as well. I’m not sure why they care about their yield that much, but clearly they do. [/quote]

Well, it’s about more than the Admissions Department yield.

Their long experience tells them that those who enter the school with unbridled enthusiasm have better experiences there. And because the rest of the student body feels so strongly about the school, they will fit in better. A boy who could “take it or leave it” might be viewed as odd and not fit in well.

Admissions isn’t new at this. They have decades of experience. They are evaluated on each class by the faculty and staff that have to work with these kids for four years.

The result is a student body that strongly identifies with the school and their classmates.

Gonzaga is the same way.

Admission is much less likely for those considering a number of schools of which Prep is just one alternative.[/quote]
