Way to twist those facts. Based on your questionable logic, Georgetown is #1 Catholic, then BC, and Fordham (tied), then Notre Dame, then Holy Cross.

So if that is the basis of your analysis, which is super weak to begin with, then you are completely wrong. But I'm sure you will now move the goalposts.

Bad argument. The Regis students who go to Jesuit schools benefit from a HUGE hook. My interpretation would be that the ones who go to Holy Cross were not admitted (even though they had a huge hook) to Georgetown or BC.

This is a bad take. I have a son who went to Regis. BC and Georgetown have pretty thin FA and there are plenty of upper middle class families at Regis with more than 2 kids who feel squeezed by those two schools in particular. I heard it frequently. Holy Cross has better merit, more full rides available, at least one Regis kid per year takes that over BC/Georgetown. We also have NMF kids who will take Fordham's scholarship offer over BC and Georgetown acceptances. There's a Santa Clara full ride recipient this year taking it over ND and Georgetown. ND seems to have plenty of 20-25k scholarships and kids will take those over BC and Georgetown too, even if they had some preference for GU. Regis kids get the money part and what that means to their families.

Thanks! I think you made my point -- Regis grads are choosing Holy Cross, Santa Clara, and Fordham (all great schools!) for merit/ financial reasons. Georgetown offers no merit. BC does -- Stamps and Gabelli -- so it would be interesting to see students who won those scholarships choosing Holy Cross over them.

I was pushing back against the idea that Regis students were choosing Holy Cross over Georgetown and BC when all things were equal.

I thought you were making another point, which was that Regis kid going to HC are only going because they didnt't get into GU or BC. They did. But they don't find them worth full pay. This is more true for BC than GU to be fair. These families will pay full fare for HYP over full ride HC or full ride at BC. Stamps at ND will sometime turn heads - even from HYP.

If you’re rich enough to spend 400k on BC and not feel the pain you’re rich enough to buy your way into a better school and should.

Holy Cross never had a nursing school, school of education (teachers) or a part time night school. The Cross is known fot doctors, lawyers and CEO’s. Simple question why did the Ivies play Holy Cross in the 1890’s and no other Catholic schools(HC is the most played non Ivy for HY, Brown and Dartmouth). The Wasp elites respected HC and not the others. Holy Cross grads have been very successful since the 1840’s.
