[quote=Anonymous]I have a hard time understanding the gripe about less-than-stellar college placements from St Anselm’s. A previous poster identified that over half of the class is going to irrefutably excellent schools: Chicago, Cornell, Davidson, Wake Forest, Pomona, Navy, Tufts, Colgate, Vassar…and many of the other remaining destinations are quite solid in their own right. Kids from every elite school in the region also attend good schools like Gettysburg, F&M, and UMD. Plus, in many of these cases, students are taking significant merit money, and will sometimes choose the merit money over the bigger name school. St Anselm’s is very challenging academically. There is no grade inflation, and it’s very difficult to earn an A. The students are getting a superior education, and that is true whether they end up with a full ride to a flagship state university or an Ivy.[/quote]
