[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The average SAT score of seniors at Gonzaga is no higher than the better public schools in Montgomery, Fairfax and Arlington.  So how competitive can admissions really be?[/quote]

"The school turns boys into men. "

As a graduate of a Jesuit school I cannot stress how important this is to the ethos of the Jesuit education. The Jesuits are focused on developing men for others. Which is to say they believe that serving the community, working for the greater good, and focusing on social justice is an important part of the whole person. Anything you can do before applying to show this is a core belief, in action, will go a long way. If you try to fake it they will see through it in an instant.[/quote]

How does a school measure that “the school turns boys into men.”?  Just curious as that seems like a tough one to quantify. [/quote]

It’s quite obvious when you meet them. Have you heard Fernando Mendoza speak? Is he similar to regular public school boys? [/quote]

I think your point is that he went to an all boys Catholic high school that focuses on developing well rounded young men. His high school was Marist, not Jesuit, but for the sake of your argument, I understand your point and agree.[/quote]
