[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Historically HC also had a preference for kids active in Catholic faith and/or community service.  I’m not sure if that’s still true but it can skew the admit rates a bit as they are looking for something particular.

Clark WPI and HC all seem to be getting more attention lately.  But people have been saying worcesters coming back for a couple of decades and it does seem like a slow roll.  My family roots are in Worcester so I’m always rooting for it a bit.  It seemed positioned to pull a Pittsburgh, but couldn’t quite make it happen.  [/quote]

My DD goes to Assumption University - another hidden gem that DCUM doesn't care about - if your DC is considering HC (or Nova, or another of the big catholics) and needs a backup (or an option that gives significant merit aid!) definitely consider this school! She loves worcester - lots of cultural opportunities, sports (Woo Sox!), good restaurants, biotech industry (she has interned for two years at a leading bio med company). [/quote]

Assumption is fine. It's in the nicest part of Worcester and I grew up down the street. Let's be frank though it is not a hidden gem. It has an 82% acceptance rate and is virtually unknown outside of central Mass. [/quote]

That part of Worcester is indeed beautiful and could easily pass for Chestnut Hill, or better. The bio med opportunities should not be overlooked in Woo for students interested in that space/medicine. That is the industry that has been key to Worcester’s turnaround.[/quote]
