Congrats to those accepted to Santa Clara! My kid chose Santa Clara last year (Leavey/Finance), and is having a terrific first year! It was a bonus that the basketball team did so well this year, but he’s loving the school for the small classes, great weather, attentive and high-quality profs, and overall community. SCU was not even on my radar when he first started looking at schools, but it’s turned out to be the perfect place for him. Good luck with your decisions!
