[quote=Anonymous]The "cheap parents" comment is a ridiculous one, I shouldn't even call it out.

However, there is merit to the Gonzaga value proposition.  The price tag is somewhere around half of Prep's.  Zaga is not as good a school academically as Prep.   There is no argument there.  But is Prep 2x what Gonzaga  is academically?  No.  The value is clearly better at Gonzaga, especially in these economically challeging times.  It is simply a question for familiies of whether they want (or can) pay that much more for the delta in the academic quality.  And if athletics is very important to the family, then Gonzaga is even more compelling.  Here you get comparable athletics (very high quality) for half the price.

For this reason, Gonzaga is one of the toughest applications these days.  Not because of it's academic or other "exclusivity" like at other schools.  But because of it's great value.  Because of the economics, for the last couple of years Gonzaga is one of the toughest applications around.
