[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sons’s score was 96-9. Straight As & strong athlete (swim / tennis). He’s never missed honor roll & was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. I hope this is enough for him to get into Gonzaga. He only applied to 2 schools; Gonzaga & BI (we’re in Alexandria & he’s @ a Catholic school). [/quote]

If he isn't a legacy, it's going to be tough. Good luck![/quote]

This is not true.  While, yes, there are a lot of legacies at Gonzaga, there are many (2/3) who are not.  Coming from a Catholic school I’m sure your principal has a good relationship with the admissions officer.  Generally sibling/parent legacies are given the greatest weight (especially those with current siblings) but next is Catholic schools.  That is why every Catholic elementary school principal has a relationship with the Admissions officers.  They are required to discuss by the ADW.

Wow. A third of the school is legacy?  That’s a lot. [/quote]

My sons class they gave us stats and I combined parent and sibling numbers.  Some could have both so it’s probably less but there are a lot of legacies there for sure.  Maybe closer to 1/4?[/quote]
