[quote=Anonymous]You're welcome to believe anything you want! The thing is, us researchers have a hard time believing statements like "Sidwell is the plurality preference" without actual data. If you said instead, "Sidwell is my number 1 school," then researchers would have no problem with the statement.

You mention NMS, but part of the problem is that Sidwell doesn't issue average SATs. Also, as someone pointed out, Sidwell's NMSSFs are unusually high for the school this year, so we can't draw conclusions from just this year. And cachet is very subjective, and I'm sure some would think Gonzaga's catholic affiliation has more cachet for them.

Also, you are misstating the point about Gonzaga. Nobody said it's popular because of large class sizes. They said it's "in the conversation" because 1,000 families think highly enough of Gonzaga to apply there. Some of us can't see why you think these 1000 applications are totally meaningless!

So yes, Gonzaga does deserve to be "in the conversation." Geez![/quote]
