[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your catholic (active) then you have a 75% chance of getting in. [/quote]

Fake News.  Acceptance rate is around 20%.  This rate is for Catholics as well as non-Catholics.  I know several Catholic parish school kids who were straight A students in Honors classes and did not get into Prep (they also played sports and were good kids).  Truth is Prep is hard to get into.  Easiest avenue appears to be for Mater Dei students, everyone else has to be a top student at their middle school.[/quote]

The boy from our k8 who got in there was a straight C and didn’t do well in the SSAT, what apparently he thought it was very funny because he told everyone. Oh, he is into sports. But definitely never a top student! [/quote]

Well, good luck to him. If he attended Prep he certainly isn't laughing anymore, Prep is tough academically.  Tons of homework, quizzes, and tests. Boys have every class every day and homework in every class every day.  Teachers (vast majority have advanced degrees) are excellent and do not mess around. Boys are pushed hard and learn at lot.[/quote]
