re: Chapelle vs Mt. Carmel

I went to MCA and loved it. 10 years ago when I was deciding to where to go, my parents told me Chapelle was not an option and I essentially chose between Dominican and MCA. However, Chapelle has gotten much better in the last 5 years. They got a new principal who revamped the school.

If this was 5-10 years ago, I would say push her towards Mount Carmel, but now let her decide. Mount Carmel was a great school, I made friends I still have today and I felt prepared for LSU bc of MCA. I think Mount Carmel still has the better reputation in New Orleans but MCA and Chapelle are both good schools.
