[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you live in Falls Church/Vienna, your best option for a boy is Gonzaga and for a girl is Visitation. Prep is a good school, but the commute on the Beltway is more difficult and time-consuming than the trip downtown to Gonzaga. St Anselms and The Heights are decent schools, but best serve certain types of Catholics. If you are a run-in-the-mill Catholic without quircks and not extremely conservative, you are best served by Visi/Gonzaga.    [/quote]

Visi/Gonzaga are highly selective and sought-after schools for most Catholics.  You don't just apply and get it.  It's not so easy.[/quote]

Not true if you DON'T live in Kensignton, Chevy Chase, NWDC, Potomac, Bethesda. [/quote]

There are a lot of Gonzaga students from Virginia.[/quote]

Yes. Kids from all over go to Gonzaga and it is an amazing school .... Va, PG, s.md, ex burbs of md... But the social pressure to go to Gonzaga in these areas is much less as you get farther away from the areas mentioned above.  They are not as "sought after" as those social circles believe once you remove yourself from those groups.[/quote]
