[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The only thing these two have in common is the word Georgetown.[/quote]

+1 Prep is Catholic,single, sex, boarding, socially conservative, athletically-oriented and has a golf course on campus. GDS is non-sectarian, coed, non-residential, socially liberal, athletically-game, but not very good.  Prep has 25+ AP classes. GDS limits its AP offerings, but offers multiple post-AP level electives in math, literature, and the social sciences. Both have great top tier college matriculations with Prep students more likely to go to Catholic colleges like Notre Dame and Georgetown than GDS students. [/quote]

While these are both good schools What the PP implied is that Prep has more/better AP's than GDS which is just silly.   GDS offers tons of  high level classes attended by more students across the grade than Prep.

GDS is generally considered to be academically more demanding and harder to get into than Prep.  The focus at GDS is intellectual rigor not sports. While there are very smart boys at Prep, the overall cohort is not as academically strong. Prep certainly has better sports. [/quote]

I agree with this poster on all but the last paragraph.  Prep has a different curriculum (traditional but is just as demanding.  Prep is also at least as difficult to gain admittance to as GDS—if not more.  Bear in mind that they attract very different kids.[/quote]
