“Where was Coach Kathy?”

“At another wedding.” - I don’t buy the hate, I think it’s Maryland parents.

Why do some people think that adding in profanity makes them sound smarter?

They weren't weddings of former players. They were weddings of her friends kids or young lax coaches who she has mentored in the past.

Bottom line, she's been invited to a lot of weddings. Are you disputing this?

Regardless of wedding invitations, if you had to define the culture in one sentence - how would you describe it?

you are kidding right?

SSSA is way more difficult academically than BI. No contest

100% wrong. It used to be but is not anymore. SSSAS is trying to live off an outdated reputation.

FALSE. Anyone claiming that BI and SSSAS admissions are similar is completely uninformed and lying. BI is NOT hard to get into. I don't many kids that go there, and I have never seen a single kid rejected.

The school is amazing and very inclusive, so a lot of what you are reading on here is LIES to intentionally mislead… The administration is great, teachers are top notch, the athletics could be boosted even more, and they should recruit more and embrace sports even more, especially if it continues to provide excellent college placement. Parents want all the IAC and ISL schools to do well as it makes the conference/league elevated. Your kid does not have to play sports to find their people. The music, robotics, and theater kids are amazing, and there is so much friendship and respect among the student body. It is a fantastic school! Don’t believe everything you read on here. The athletes are some of the smartest, kindest, and sweetest kids at the school! All these schools are so similar and offer a lot of the same, so you really cannot go wrong at any of these schools.

1980/1990 style of coaching. Not healthy at all. Results great but…

I think you need a little help with reading comprehension. Here was the original post: "SSSA is way more difficult academically than BI. No contest." It didn't state anything about admissions. I am sure SSSAS does reject more kids than BI. That doesn't make it academically better. And BTW SSSAS is probably a little better. But not "$55K is worth it better." The fact is that SSSAS is now competing with BI because it can no longer compete with STA, NCS, GP, Landon, etc.

BI has a waitlist. Kids that used to be layups aren't getting in. Times have changed with that.
