Why are you people acting like Sidwell students are beating down ND or BC’s doors? Sidwell is sending about 2 students to BC this year. I’m sure they: 1. Didn’t apply to ND, and 2. BC was the best school that admitted them. The bottom half of Sidwell’s class has to attend college somewhere.
This is correct. The students from Sidwell going to BC, bottom half students, are not getting into ND and need safeties.

This forum loves to pretend southern high-schools are all horrible.
You sat around and counted?
Sad.

Boston is a far better city to spend 4 years than South Bend or Worcester.
Boston is a great city but South Bend is immaterial for Notre Dame. NDs campus and college experience Trump nearly all others.
Well, Sidwell’s students seem to disagree—most of them obviously don’t want to go to ND. That’s fine because everything doesn’t have to be for everyone. Move on.
Anyone going to BC from sidwell would go to ND if they had an acceptance letter in hand. They don’t disagree, they didn’t get in.
No, they most likely didn’t apply to ND. Sidwell students are not interested in attending a (fairly conservative) Catholic university in the middle of nowhere.
BC is full of maga fanatics. This is splitting hairs.
ND has way more than BC. I think they both suck though.
So 90% v 85% Maga.

BC’s president didn’t sign? Shameful.
And yes, of course children of BC alums aren’t at places like Sidwell

ND>BC>HC. Villanova is roughly similar to BC. I work with lots of parents of Chaminade and Delbarton boys and that is the ranking order at both schools.

Emory isn’t a great college experience for undergrad. The campus is limited and it’s not as good as Tech or UGA in terms of options relative to price (which for most GA students, the latter two will be free). It’s kind of a no brainer.

That’s you. Other people may make different decisions.
Some people gamble their retirement savings and house away on blackjack. Some people leave their families to drink 24/7 in Atlantic City. Other people may make different decisions.

My guess is that the few kids from Sidwell that pick a Boston College over ND are full pay non- Catholics.
