I just think that if the recruiter see the catholic school tag they might just say we don't need that. I hope that I am wrong.
quite the contrary i think they'll be glad to have student previously schooled in a religious environment
isn't that grounds for a lawsuit, refusing due to religion?
in the "we'll correct that" attitude
i'd say just make sure he knows his family has his back
The whole thing might be can we prove that is the fact.
one of the things that got me through college is the fact i knew i had family support in case of need
college is an awkward phase.
all of life is an awkward phase tbh.
anything new is awkward
That the fact the student was catholic and it was the factor
if it wasn't, it wouldn't be new 😉
you're confident that you raised him well and that he'll manage by during college and adulthood? @Folic
if the answer is a yes then it's all good, nothing to worry about.
well if he gets declined, you wont have to pay that tuition, so at worst you'll not have wasted money on a school that won't teach him a useful trade
i feel a bit weird giving someone around my parents age advice tbh.
would't "why" he was in a catholic school more important to them than just the fact that he was in one ? Whether is was proximity, faith, doubt in the public system...
Thank you all for the input. Please have a great day. Dr. , not going to college is not really an option for my baby. My baby has worked so hard to get that opportunity. Is it weird to think that a parent is concerned?
parents have every right to be concerned.
Parents ought to be concerned
though not getting into college isn't always a bad thing, depending what career one wants to pursue there are more time efficient ways to get some credentials or skills
I just would like to give the best chance for success I guess. I went to the military to get my skill set, but it is always about giving the better life to your child thing for me.
Ivy League is tough enough to get in without adding another pass over point.
best of luck for your kid.
Is the narrative that I must trust that the bias is not there?
in my experience, the bias is overblown
some of it might be real, but theres not like, 9 out of ever 10 schools will whip people for the wrong origin
Given that the colleges might be anti religion?
well, you can't see a persons religious devotion
unless they announce it
or they wear some apparel
i'd consider that an announcement
Separation of church and education.
person wearing a hijab i won't start thinking "i wonder if thats a mormon..."
what if it's halloween
unless they have the bombs visibly strapped i wont assume its a costume 😉
but getting back to the college
Very good point that it is more acceptable and might be a bullet point to be Muslim
If the students wont know, they can't be jerks over it
If the teachers don't know they wont be jerks over it
and i'd imagine theres be something reported if a school actively starts declaring the religion of their previous schools as heresy
my way through college was head-down, and doing what i needed for my grades 😉
