[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gonzaga is NOT as strong as St. Anselm's.  St. Anselm's is the most rigorous private in DC, including St. Alban's.[/quote]

The belligerence of your post and the fact that you have to compare yourself to St. Albans in a post belies an inferiority complex.  Rigor can be defined in a number of different ways, as most thoughtful minds would agree.   Your response comes off as a mindlessly knee-jerk.

As an objective observer, I will note that St. Albans has a higher success rate in terms of admissions to Ivies and other elite colleges than St. Anselm's.  Perhaps that's because colleges prefer a different kind of rigor -- that which is demonstrated by the scholar-athlete who must balance the life of the mind with sportsmanship.   [/quote]

Let's not start another thread about St. Albans...please St. Albans people go to your own threads.  The snobbery is too much for me to swallow.[/quote]

Sorry, but the only people who have any claim to "owning" any of the threads are Jeff and Maria.  If you want a snobbery-free zone, I suggest you leave yhe private/independent school forum.  Even within this thread, there's not a little snobbery about who's the best.

IMHO, PP left herself wide open by making a juvenile claim comparing St. Anselm's to St. Albans.  That's definitely invites a response from Team St. Albans.

Have no dog in the fight, but I must say that while I've heard of St. Albans, I'd never heard of St. Anselm's until I read through this thread -- which is a bit silly anyway.  How can anyone claim that a single school is the best?
