[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St Anselm's is not hard to get into.[/quote]

Incorrect.   Read the post above yours.  Plus, it's tiny like Maret. [/quote]

NP here.  According to St. Anselm's Great Schools profile, 50% of applicants are admitted.  Sorry, that's not hard to get into by anyone's standards.  further, a school is not like Maret simply because it's tiny.  Maret is tiny AND has a large applicant pool, which St. Anselm's does not.  [/quote]

According to their admission office, the figure is nowhere that high.  Sorry you rely on Great Schools, which is really a social media / crowd source site serving fairfax public schools.  [/quote]

You're just showing your ignorance.  Great Schools is a national site that was started with funding from the Gates Foundation, as part of their efforts to increase accountability in education.  While the comments/reviews are indeed "crowd-sourced," school profiles, including admissions data, is submitted by the school itself.  Admittedly, the 50% rate was for the 2012-2013 admissions year, but I find it hard to believe admissions rates have changed so dramatically in 2 years.

You sound rather pathetic in your attempts to boost St. Anselm's, as you are completely exaggerating its competitiveness and standing in the DMV.  It's a good, solid school for intellectually oriented boys, but it is not in as high demand as other schools in the area and is certainly not the hardest to get into.   As a Benedictine, all-boys school, it serves a relatively small niche.  [/quote]
