[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trust me, no Catholic parent is selecting these schools based upon scores - we never even thought about it. Catholics don’t view our schools like many view the independent schools (ie, college admission stats and or standardized test scores). We go for other reasons and for the most part, many of the parents at Visi or Gonzaga are wealthy/very connected or highly educated. They can go to most any college/university and still get a great job because of the network. They don’t see college like you - a gateway into a different higher class. For example, we are in Chevy Chase. The goal for most of our girls has always been Visi, going generations back.  We are not at all interested in the independent schools even if they sent their entire graduating class to Harvard. I know that statement seems extreme but there isn’t really a way to emphasize just how much our families laser focus on the schools at the top of the list and [b]there are many tears and lots of hand wringing if our kid doesn’t get in.

WTF do you care so much about Visi?  That just seems to affirm what some PPs say.  It's cultish.
