[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see Gonzaga as a safety school. Most people I know wanted it as their first choice. I'm sure it happens, but I don't think it's the norm.[/quote]

This Gonzaga definitely is not a safety.[/quote]

It isn't about the school quality or being no one's first choice -- it is obviously great school that is first choice for many boys. It is about seats available for applicants -- Gonzaga has the most. Where a tiny school like St. Anselm's (250 in 6-12; ~150 HS boys) or a small school like St. Alban's (590 across 4-12; ~300 HS boys), each filling only part of the 9th grade class since they have a MS, will make very few HS offers offers (only a few dozen), Gonzaga (960 HS boys) will be filling a march larger, full freshman class and so makes offers to 10x more boys. Similarly, St. John's (1,280 HS students, ~640 boys) also filling a full freshman class, only half boys so fewer boys than Gonzaga, and Prep (500 HS boys) also filling a full class of Freshman, will each accept fewer than Gonzaga, but 8x as many boys as St. Anselm's or St. Alban's.[/quote]
