[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This is, of course, correct and well articulated but you run the risk of hurting the feelings of the PP who felt personally attacked at the facial notion that Gonzaga may not be the most statistically competitive admit in the area.  [/quote]

NP here. No posters feelings are hurt, but it sounds like you’re the poster from a few pages ago who keeps coming back to keep attacking Gonzaga being anyone’s first choice. Like another PP asked, why are you on this thread?

I hope all those waiting for good news receive it soon and PP finds a new hobby. [/quote]
