[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we stop all the GDS love? It’s having a moment, but let’s be real, it doesn’t have the history, prestige or alumni base of other area schools. [/quote] As a DC native, the perception that GDS is top tier school is a new concept to me. When I was in school, GDS was generally for alternative kids and wasn't viewed as on par with the Cathedral schools, Sidwell, and Potomac (which were solidly the top tier back then). GDS was still a solid school, but not top. I'm definitely not saying it's not top now based on the past. Times and perceptions change, but it's still true (in my opinion) that GDS doesn't have the same *long history of prestige* that a few other schools have.[/quote] +1 I graduated from one of the other schools you mentioned in the early 90s. I had 2 classmates asked to leave (one after 9th and one mid-10th I think?) and both switched to GDS. It was considered much more alternative and not very academic. [/quote]
