I graduated from Holy Cross, and one quick look at my facebook shows the folks that I graduated with aren't the captains of industry that their parents expected them to be. Maybe it's the scourge of gen Y, or maybe private school isn't the saviour of lost children. But our claim to fame is a pair of grads who own a few bars in the lower mainland.

I sent my kids to a very good public school, and I regret it. They're good kids, but the curriculum is a joke and as such I've had to get outside tutoring to fill in the gaps in their knowledge. So in effect, I'm getting a "free" education for my kids. But it's costing me hundreds of dollars a month to get them to that elusive 4.0 GPA.

That said, I'm with z3 guy. As douchey as he sounds, St. George's is where it's at if future success is what you're after. The relationships you make there will help you make money in the future. Plus the chances of knocking up a Pattison, or Washington granddaughter are very high if you got game.
haha! that is definitely the pot calling the kettle black lol!!!
