[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, he is not in public high school; he is only in middle school now so I'm planning ahead.  My question was why send him to a Jesuit private high school vs. him attending our local public HS in Fairfax county. Does attending a Jesuit high school improve chances of attending better universities like Georgetown? Or would he have a similar chance if he did well in public HS. [/quote

Gonzaga has 20+ boys accepted to BC every year. That's a huge advantage compared to any public school. They'll also have boys accepted to Villanova and ND every year, but not in that large a number. I still think there's an advantage in knowing some boys are definitely getting accepted. The nice thing to me was that there are a number of lower ranked schools that are safeties. When you find one your DS likes, it takes the pressure off the whole process. Schools like Marquette, St. Joes, Fairfield, etc are pretty much a guarantee (this is all assuming your student is not wasting his opportunities at Gonzaga). [/quote]
