Among Catholic universities in the Philadelphia area, Villanova would be ranked first in terms of competiveness, followed by St. Joseph’s then LaSalle.

All three schools have fairly strong ties in the business, legal and civic communities in metropolitan Philadelphia area (including Wilmington and Camden).

I might be mistaken, but I think St. Joe’s is the home of the Academy of Food Marketing, whose personnel often get quoted in the financial pages of newspapers.

If you can, get a copy of the FORBES magazine on the Forbes 400 richest people in America. A St. Joe alum wrote a great piece about the difference between donating big bucks to an already well-endowed institution (ie, the Ivy League schools) and those schools not so well endowed (just about everyone else)
