Bullis concerns

Anonymous
Did Prep dominate Bullis last Fall?

Not a GP homer but have always been impressed with their ability to win with a bunch of multi sport athletes.

Yes GP does recruit for football and has a 3 star running back but most of their team is a bunch of kids who grew up playing Maplewood or RFL.

They don’t seem to be getting in the football recruiting arms race which Bullis continues to embark on.

People choose to go to Bullis for the opportunity to play in college and get into schools that they might not if it weren't for athletics.

End of story. Different types of young people making choices that best suit them. I would be excited for either, and wish them luck for the paths they pursue.

But Bullis still can’t win the Founder’s Cup—presented to the IAC’s top athletic program. Prep has won it 14 out of the last 16 years, including this past year—all while maintaining an average SAT score of 1386 and an 8:1 student-to-faculty ratio.


Good for them. However, nobody is comparing Bullis to Prep or any other school. It’s an option that may work for some, and not for others.


How is Prep and Bullis comparable? I wouldn't even consider Prep because of the religious piece as well as their long history of issues within in the school and outside school hours.

Yes—Prep’s long history of producing SCOTUS Justices, Federal Reserve Chairs, NFL team owners, MLB GMs, Pulitzer Prize, Medal of Honor and Emmy Award recipients, US Poet Laureates, inventor of chemotherapy, US congressmen, US senators, ambassadors and CEOs. You’re absolutely right—no comparison. Who has Bullis produced? Duane Haskins? Give me a break.


Some of those folks I wouldn't want my child becoming. You are slamming Bullis but look at everything that has happened at Prep. I wouldn't want my son going to a school that in the past thinks nothing of treating women poorly (to put it nicely).

If my son graduates from Prep with a 1386 SAT score and becomes any of the aforementioned, I will be pretty pleased.

Prep has twice as many boys as Bullis or any other IAC school. And they also recruit. Bullis has a 7:1 student to faculty ratio. And, they don’t have two assholes on the Supreme Court.

One administration is hardly a "long history".

Atleast the did put them out instead of covering the situations.

Agreed (for the most part, I looked at both for myself back in the stone age). Very different target market. I'd also say virtually no one who is considering Bullis would ever send their kids to Prep (because religion/desire for co-ed).

Here's another transfer to Bullis, by way of Buffalo.

Coming for Junior and Senior year and "reclassifying" for Football.

I'm sure Mom and Dad got transferred to the area LOL.



Bet Prep wished that kid considered them...LOL


I thought Bullis was going to layoff teachers because they were going broke, and now they are paying full ride to rent a QB for a year or two?

How are you so sure he got a full ride? Is it possible his parents could be paying tuition to get their son in a better position?

But a founding date of 1789 is a long history.

Didn’t they fire him until he was cleared of the charges?
