"Enrollment Deadline"


Oh thank you! I had looked around the website at some point but somehow missed that.


O’Connell is a dumpster fire compared to Gonzaga and SJC. Other than convenience for selfish parents not wanting to drive a few extra miles for their kids, why would anyone attend?


DP. No school is worth a daily commute across any Potomac River bridge — in either direction.


For sports or the Scholars program, SJC would be worth the pain IMO.

LOL MAGA is prominent at all of these schools. Why would anyone attend them in general?

Because it's a lot cheaper, and most of the kids who go there are further out in Fairfax County making Gonzaga, and especially St. John's a very tough commute.

Does anyone know how long O’Connell gives you to let them know if you will be attending? The acceptances come out this week but Gonzaga doesn’t release their decisions for a few more weeks. Will O’Connell require a decision before the other decisions get released? Thank you.
