[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that the SAAS boys work really hard but why is it not reflected in college admissions?  Someone in one of these posts compares it to STA and SAAS boys take far more classes than STA boys. 
And yet SAAS rarely sends anyone to the Ivy League or equivalent.  Their college admissions are published each year in the local Catholic periodical (I'm forgetting the name).  They are fine but nothing 
to write home about.  Meanwhile STA will send 20% of the class to the Ivy League and the rest to top 50 schools.  Does anyone know why this is?  Do colleges just not know about SAAS?[/quote]

Well, it depends on what you mean by “or equivalent”.   Last year’s class of 40 had the following matriculations:

Carnegie Mellon
Johns Hopkins
Chicago (2)
Cornell
Columbia
Emory
Notre Dame
GATech (3)
UNC-CH
UVA
UCLA
UC-Davis
USC
Northeastern (2)
BU

Per USNWR (to the extent that means anything at all), Chicago and Hopkins are top 10.  Notre Dame, UCLA, Carnegie Mellon, Emory, USC and UVA are immediately below the lower Ivies and Duke and Rice and Vanderbilt etc.  GATech, UC-Davis and BU are in the 30s or low 40s.  That seems like high percentage going to top 50 national universities.

But all this aside, is the hallmark of a good education really reduced down to where kids go to college?  [/quote]
