[quote=Anonymous]Why so negative? OP Georgetown Prep has been an incredible place for my son. I would use the next month or so to improve SSAT. You should keep in mind that a lot of people lie about scores. Don’t be hard on your son’s performance. It has been years but I think it is worthwhile to call Preo Matters and get tutoring asap. In Prep’s defense they use the SSAT to level the various curriculums at all the schools. Freshman year is hard and I mean really hard. They need to know your son can do the work. Rarely but some kids leave after freshman year because the adjustment to non block schedule is hard. They want to avoid this. There is hours of homework and daily quizzes in all the subjects. There is a dedicated test day for long form for each class weekly. I recall thinking this was hard. I am grateful now for their approach. My son became organized in a way I did not think possible and it prepared him for college. There is also help every step of the way with teachers and also older boys who will help tutor free after school. He also developed as a man of faith and character and I feel great about the experience. I know as a Jesuit school they care about what your son wants to do to give back to most vulnerable and make sure this comes across in essay. They also appreciate candor. If his SSAT is not reflective of how he performs at school, have your school write an additional letter explaining. In terms of other schools, Gonzaga would be closest to Preo in philosophy and is a great school. Hope this helps. [/quote]
