[quote=Anonymous]There’s also a “college” angle to this. Prep sends a significant proportion of its graduates to Catholic colleges, especially Jesuit ones (Georgetown, Boston College, Holy Cross, Loyola, etc., etc.) These are colleges where going to a Jesuit high school has some weight with college Admissions. And because of a history of sending boys to these schools, relationships develop over the years between the two Admissions staffs. There’s a reservoir of trust. Prep does send boys to non-Catholic “top” schools (Ivies, public Ivies, NESCAC, etc), but from what I have observed over the years is athletes seem to dominate this (especially in lacrosse, football and basketball). I suspect that Potomac also has these kinds of historical/on-going relationships with colleges, but with another group of schools.[/quote]
