[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These schools are flooded with applicants. Even siblings are not a lock as they once were. Can make the admissions process seem very random when they have so many qualified students to choose from. [/quote]

This ^^.  I heard this from many people - sleepy little private schools that every 5 or 6 years ago always had open seats are now full up.  Who knows why, but the demand certainly seems to be up for private schools.[/quote]

Agree.  We got lucky.  DS (who is at Gonzaga) came from public with high scores and grades.  But he is Catholic and was able to get recommendation from our priest and others.  I know of one kid who is Catholic and from wealthy connected family that did not get in this year.  It is getting harder and harder to get into Gonzaga.[/quote]

Tuition is 21.5 at GZ and 18.5 at SJC.  With the level of demand they have, you'll have 5% hikes forever.  [/b]They'll both be into the 30's in 10 years.  [/quote]

Hopefully not, or they will completely price out middle class / upper middle people. Does Gonzaga charge for books and lunch on top of their tuition or is that fee all-in?[/quote][/b]

Most independent privates are $35K - $42K per year, so even $30K is reasonable when compared to independent schools.  So, not priced out for middle/upper middle unless you have 2 or 3 kids to put through non-public schools.[/quote]

I question your assertion that 30k is reasonable. For a family earning $150k or so that is a lot to cough up.[/quote]
