[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just think that the "it's an amazing school for the brightest and most rigorous students" narrative is dulled a bit by the outcomes. College admission is not the only reason or even a primary reason to select a school, but for many, it is a criteria. Even with scholarships and financial aid, Loyola of Maryland, Fordham and Xavier aren't poster children for the amazingness of an institution. [/quote]

At this point, responding to posts like these are pointless because nothing SAAS parents say would budge anyone off their assumptions and biases but I’ll give it one more shot.

Truly, many SAAS families don’t seek out perceived “elite” universities and colleges. They just aren’t fixated on schools that many on this board care about.  I know it’s hard to believe, and it’s easy assumption to make, that these kids don’t matriculate to T20 or whatever universities because they can’t, but in reality, many don’t care to - whether because it’s financial or religious (note that the schools you mention are Catholic) or otherwise. I was mildly surprised by this myself but the school population march to its own beat. [/quote]
