    No Thanks

    It seems to have changed over the years. It seems to have gotten woke. That is not a compliment, especially in the LGBTQ whatever category whites are now a minority at this once proud institution I would definitely pass it up because I know kids who were way more qualified, SAT grades private high schools and extracurriculars than ones that they accepted so we’ve closed our purse and we moved on to other universities— you are for selective based on merit rather than wokeness/DEI— I would not consider this a Catholic university any longer

    Judi does not recommend the school.
