[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi! Our family is from VA. Our son was accepted at Prep but now wants to go to a diocesan school in VA because of his classmates. Does anyone have advice regarding this situation? Thanks![/quote] Are there reasons (beyond where his friends are going) that make him prefer the diocesan school? In general, I think kids do well where they’re happy, and while they cater to a wider range of students, a DC can receive an excellent education at a diocesan school (especially if he’s taking all honors classes).[/quote] College admissions people have a concept they call “institutional fit”. It’s hard to define, but it’s the sense an applicant gets on a campus when they feel, “Yes, I can see myself here. These are people I would feel comfortable going to school with. This is a place I like.” Young boys might find it difficult to explain all of this to adults.[/quote]
