[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, we're looking at SJC for our son. Hoping families with students there now could kindly answer a few questions...any information would be most appreciated!

- do you recommend the Entrepreneurial Center program? our son is interested in that.
- are there supports for kids with executive functioning challenges/ADHD?
- is it hard to get admitted for non-Catholics coming from a non-Catholic school?
- how would you compare the school and its culture to Good Counsel?

Thank you![/quote]

As to whether it's hard or not to get in as a non-Catholic coming from a non-Catholic school ....

Absent and special "hooks" (i.e. Very good athlete, URM, etc.), your DC will be in a line for Admission behind Catholics who attended Catholic schools and Catholics who did not. The school "prefers" these candidates. So you are competing with all the non-Catholics at the back of the line.

It's more similar to Good Counsel than to other schools but it's more of a "City' school.[/quote]

SJC is basically in the Chevy Chase suburbs. Not very "city."

That would be Gonzaga.[/quote]

Well, it is definitely a "city school" compared to Good Counsell.[/quote]
