[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Technically it has a 33% admit rate. That's misleading because they give preferential treatment to their feeder Catholic middle schools and legacies. The real admit rate is probably in the mid 20's.

Get a really high HPST (90th percentile or higher) and demonstrate heavy interest. Gonzaga tends to like really committed families and will often reject families they get the sense are "shopping around." [/quote]

It the applicant is a legacy, goes to a feeder K-8, is full-pay, a good student and an athlete their chances of Admission are close to 100%.

The fewer of these boxes you check, the lower your odds of getting in.

Even within Legacies there is a hierarchy. There are families with multiple generations in which all the boys attended. The school is aware of this, especially as many of these people are active in the community.

Things have changed somewhat since they increased the size of the student body and started to bring large numbers in from Virginia.

But to your point, knowing the “mean average” admission rate tells applicants almost nothing of value. [/quote]
