[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The obvious: BC, Villanova, Santa Clara, safety Holy Cross. But you must have considered all these?  [/quote]
Holy Cross a safety? Hardly.[/quote]
+1 Villanova is the safety on that list.[/quote]

My 4.4/1520/500+ hours of community service kid (plus a million other ECs and such) got rejected from Villanova today. I wouldn't call it a safety.[/quote]

Sorry to hear this, pp and op.

My college senior, after being rejected at Georgetown (my alma mater), went to St. Joe’s. There is a lot to be said for being a big fish in a little sea, rather than swimming with sharks.

There are many, many families with kids at both Villanova and SJU. Talk with them. My son has HS friends at Villanova and he’s even ridden the train home to DC with them on breaks.

The world is simply different today. I do wish they would limit the number of schools kids apply to, but I guess the schools might miss the cash and “selectivity” that comes with rejecting HS seniors. [/quote]

Current CIA Director went to La Salle and argues the size of school became his competitive advantage entering State Department.  It’s what you make of it![/quote]

LaSalle is a great school. The students are much more down to earth than at GU. It’s the Christian Bros which is very different than the Jesuit culture. Jesuits prefer a fine whiskey with an influential donor where the Christian Bros share a pizza and a beer with students. 
I was surprised to read about the student whose parents went to GU did not get in. I observe that good number of kids who go there are legacies. [/quote]
