[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to get back to the original question for a minute:

My guess is that the numbers of applicants to Prep and Holton won't change, but the political leanings of the applicants will.

I know the parents of three girls at Holton whose daughters are happy there now but who are very unhappy with the school's current "believe ALL women!" push which is facially pro-woman but they see as is just liberal bias.  I think many fewer Catholics will apply to Holton this year.

As for Prep, it is the poster child for conservative male entitlement right now, and as such I think many liberal parents will not want their liberal friends to see that "GP" sticker on their Prius.

I don't think other area schools will be affected at all.  The commenters above who do seem to be doing so out of wishful thinking against a school or group of schools that they personally dislike.

Prep has a built in (i.e. legacy) applicant pool, and as your guess stated, the [u]number of applicants[/u] won't change - it just needs 120 slots per year or so. [/quote]
