[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bullis considers full pay the most. Not a very academic place.[/quote]

Same old, tired trope from the Bullis haters.  Ignore it.  As the parent of a Bullis graduate and a current student, Bullis provides an excellent education, the students there are happy, and you should definitely apply, but as others have said, you should also cast a wide net.  Bullis had the most applicants last year in its history and the lowest acceptance rate.  Being full pay definitely helps; that's just the reality of all private schools.  During the admissions process, if you make it clear that Bullis is your child's first choice, that will help.     [/quote]

Bullis literally is less academic than many private schools in the area. The HOS wants that: “Not a hothouse,” he’s said. Look at their reported SAT scores—mediocre. Look at how many students graduate with honors—most. Yeah, some students there probably are academic, but overall, it’s not a very academic place compared to other schools. The tuition is very high though, as are admin salaries.[/quote]

As a PP said, same worn trope, different day.  There is "literally" a lot more to academics than high SAT scores and a pressure-filed, competitive environment.  I'll take well-educated, well-prepared, and dare I say it, happy! graduates any day.  Please just take your unsolicited negativity elsewhere.  OP, there is a lot of Bullis hate on this forum from people who don't know the school.  For those of us who actually know about the school because we have kids there, Bullis has been wonderful and you should definitely apply.       [/quote]
