[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GC rep is just OK. Very few kids get turned down. Nice, new campus, really strong sports. Similar to St. Johns. They are fine for solid,middle of the road kids but it is not an academic oriented school.
Would not compare to Georgetown Prep or Gonzaga. Prep is prep and many boys get turned down at  Gonzaga. GC is better than DeMatha, but that's not saying  much.[/quote]

"Very few kids get turned down"?  Explain how over 800 applicants can squeeze into 300 spots?!  Anyway, I believe any negative perceptions of GC are perpetuated by people from the so-called "top tier" schools who only knew GC from many years ago. As far as academics, I heard that this year's graduating class at GC earned over $21 million in academic scholarships. Not too shabby!!!  GC has it all--a place for every student--from high achieving (strong IB and AP, and St. Mary's Scholars) to those with mild learning differences (the highly regarded Ryken program accepts about 30 students/grade).  A comfortable and diverse place where there is a mutual respect for each other--so whether you're a football player or a tuba player--you'll belong.[/quote]
