[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 who attended SJC and 3rd starting this fall. We are also a Deal family. SJC used to be a lot easier to get into when my oldest entered. [b]From the people we know who applied from Deal for this fall few made it in.[/b] I don’t know if that is because the Deal applications are up or if more kids are picking SJC from the ADW schools.

We love it. Great school with really nice kids. [/quote]

Few made it in from Deal to any privates--it was much worse from Deal to the big 3 privates and the Catholics like Visitation and Gonzaga.  These last two schools basically took 1 kid each from Deal and the kids they took are Catholic and either standout (all city) athletes or legacy or both.    One the "big 3" side of things I know 10-15 kids who applied out from Deal for every 1 who go in to any top private.  As a result, all are going to Wilson except for the SJC contingent.  [/quote]

Bullsh*t.  Deal is a huge school.  How do you know what kids got into what private schools from it? You have absolutely no idea and are just pulling numbers out of your a$$.  I’ll bet Deal itself couldn’t answer the question.[/quote]

+1 Among the kids I know who applied out, quite a few had multiple offers, and only one was disappointed. No parent can know everyone at Deal. [/quote]
