[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I'm not muck raking.  I'm sincerely wondering if it might be easier to be accepted at these schools this year and wondering if Landon had fewer applications after its bad press years ago.  I'm sure there is a core constituent base and that Landon rebounded.  But, was there a dip?  If considering Holton or Prep or St. Albans, might my DD and/or DS have an easier chance applying this year?  DD is also looking at Catholic girls schools.

[b][i]Why would you put Holton in that group? I don't particularly like Holton, but one of its students being assaulted 35 years ago does not seem to have anything to do with the school overall. It's not like they created a culture that encouraged being assaulted then and for sure don't now. [/quote][/b][i][/i]

I did not include Holton for [b]ANY[/b] of the reasons you suggest. The school is fantastic, has a seemingly warm culture and is a victim in all of this. But, in my experience some idiots (young and adult) still view it (and the girls) as more "liberal" because it is not parochial. [/quote]
Both of the above two posters have got to be joking. Only an extremely liberal school would allow the following to be printed in their yearbook:
"After we conquered the boys of Landon and Prep, we moved onto St. John's and Gonzaga... WITH GREAT SUCCESS."  Caps are mine.

What school on earth would allow this to go to press?
