[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Waspy culture at NECSAC?!? I seem to remember a high Jewish population as well. Doesn't sound like a solid life plan for kids to run away from anything different from themselves. [/quote]

OK, as you say.

The NESCAC schools are dominated by the WASPs and Jews.

No wonder kids from Catholic schools decide that these aren't places they feel comfortable spending four years. That is, if they are even aware of them as alternatives. Rarely are these schools even on the radar.

There's plenty of diversity in American life. No need to pursue it. and no reason for a Catholic family to send a kid to a place where their relatively conservative values are under assault and ridiculed.

Graduates of Jesuit high schools and other Catholic high schools enjoy an advantage when they apply to Jesuit colleges and universities. That's why so many of them end up at Georgetown, BC, Holy Cross, St. Joe's etc, and Notre Dame and Villanova.

Why does this preference for Catholic high schools and Catholic colleges and universities bother non-Catholics at all? It's not as if the NESCAC schools arfe underenrolled. Or is a "Diversity" thing?[/quote]

Perhaps you don't recognize it but my goodness you certainly come off as bigoted.[/quote]
