GDS...is it as good as its reputation?

You're sounding pretty self-righteously narcissistic yourself.

"GDS...is it as good as its reputation?"

It's even better. IMHO, GDS is the pre-eminent independent school in the nation's capital. When you mix a super-talented faculty with motivated, self-confident, gifted, intellectual kids ... magic happens. Creativity and achievement burst forth. And certainly, the GDS reputation doesn't hurt with Ivy and SLAC admissions offices!

Examples of the magic?

Oh I'm quite certain of it after hanging around this board for a few years.

This is pretty clearly the troll who tries to make GDS look bad with boastful posts.

+1 Do "entitled" and "self-satisfied" fall within douchey? If not, I would add them.

Dude, it's a troll. You seem like you wish it was real, though.

Not at all. Just surprised by the fact that someone would waste time creating a fake post on this topic. Some people really need to get a life.

It's somewhat embarrassing to admit that I've been reading this sub-forum long enough to recognize the work of repeat offenders, but for at least two years someone has posted wacky, over-the-top assertions that GDS is a direct line to Harvard, etc. etc. People respond by lashing out at GDS as a school and as a community, which is pretty clearly the trolling poster's intent. It feels fun to self-righteously bash a clueless poster (done it myself) but people might as well know that this supposed "GDS booster" is a phony.

There isn't really a way to know for sure that it's a troll. GDS administrators come pretty close to saying things like this. Take out "pre-eminent" and the exclamation points, and it could have come from the HoS's mouth.
