[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  My friend who is an investment advisor sent her kids to an elite Catholic high school and then to Catholic higher education (non-DMV, not Notre Dame or Georgetown).

I trust her opinion fully.  She felt that the smaller size of her kids' universities offered the best chance for them to master their disciplines and be highly-ranked in their classes (one engineer, one pre-med who will need faculty recs for med school).  So far it's working well.  The older boy has gotten some good engineering co-ops.

I'm mentioning this because OP is worried about GPA for college. And I want OP to know that right now her kid is likely already doing well enough to have options that will definitely accomplish the goals of college.  And they obviously welcome Catholic high-school grads at Catholic universities.

OP, so that you can stay calm while your kid settles in, I suggest that you look into a few relevant universities and evaluate them for fit for your kid's likely future objectives.[/quote]

I work with investment advisers.  They aren't educational consultants.  [/quote]

I think the takeaway is there is a large network of Catholic and Jesuit colleges that happily take B students from Catholic high schools. So, one’s dear child will never be without perfectly good and nice college options to set them up for a happy, successful future.[/quote]
