[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the Ivy for which I interview, we are always impressed by the St Anselms' applicants  thoughtful kids with great academics and community service.  We also generally admit a couple from Gonzaga.  St John's has made great strides over the last few years, and we see some really competitive applicants from that school.

In general, if we take a student  from Georgetown Prep or DeMatha, it will be a recruited athlete.  I have been particularly surprised by the poor quality of academics at DeMatha.[/quote]

We looked at St. Anselms for my non-sporty bright ds (who still likes to play and watch sports), but he did not want to go there.  He liked the school spirit and community at GZ and wanted to be a part of it.  He was also very impressed with the drama program at GZ.

We also looked at GP (he actually shadowed).  After the visit, he didn't feel he would fit in, believe it or not he thought it was too sporty.  I think GP has so few students compared to GZ that it would be easier to find friends at GZ.  Also could be that he did not connect with the boy with whom he shadowed.

We didn't even consider DeMatha.[/quote]
