..and was blown away with how pretty and accommodating it is! Our tour guide Brian, was a great kid. Admissions administration was completely welcoming and helpful. We were planning on just walking around on our own but there were 2 other families in the same boat so they razzled dazzled a tour for us. Glad they did b/c we saw much more then anticipated.

Thank you to the gentleman crossing City Ave who saw the look of confusion on my face & waved the window down and told us where to find Admissions. Which, btw, is on the the opposite side of the street from the Gothic looking Cathedral.

Do check out St. Joes!

I had a similar experience when visiting St. Joe's. I was blown away by the beauty of the campus. I had no plans of taking an official tour of the campus, but the admissions called in a lovely girl who gave my family and I a tour of the entire campus, and she was even from my area. They also answered every question I had and I felt very comfortable there.

What did you think of the neighborhood?

We can't visit St. Joe's for a while but one of my daughter's got an email today for a free application...she wasn't sure she wanted to apply, but this helped:
No application fee
No essay required
A two-week admission decision
Automatic consideration for generous scholarships
Priority housing opportunities
My other daughter didn't get the email and her ACT scores were 2 points lower so she is waiting to see if this past test makes any difference. Saving 60.00, especially times 2 is something I look for, it does add up!

How do the school's know your daughters ACT scores before they apply?

We are visiting St. Joe's tomorrow.

They didn't send their scores anywhere, but at the bottom of the email, it said they got the information from the ACT. I suppose in thinking about it more, it could have been just their name, but why just 1 daughter and not the other?? Hmmm. I know they both told me they put they want to get mail, but I will ask them again.
I hope you have a nice visit, please post if you can about it.
