[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the acceptance rates at SJC and Gonzaga are quite high.[/quote]

No, they aren't.  St. John's received 1100 apps for 300 spots.  If that's high, ok.  Gonzaga used to be easy to get into, but starting about 5 years ago, it got really really tough.[/quote]

Add in the Kevin Plank millions being sunk into the school and their rise in sports -- from what we see in NW kids are picking SJC over Gonzaga or GP.  I had one last year pick SJC and I assume another this year will pick it over the others too.

Add in the price of SJC or Gonzaga and you are looking at a bargain for a great education and school.

Gonzaga is much more highly regarded than in terms of academics.  Jesuits much more skillful educators than Lasallians.  We looked at both schools and were underwhelmed with SJC's teachers.[/quote]

Oh stop. There aren't a bunch of Jesuits teaching at Gonzaga nor a bunch of Lasallians teaching at SJC. If you have kids at both (yes there are those of us that do) you would know that the educations are very similar-- the perception of both is different. Gonzaga used to be the gem and all kids who got in wanted to go. Still the case for some families but not for all. Both are great schools and we feel blessed to have kids in both which are great communities. [/quote]
