[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Declined, not what I thought it would be. Disappointed. Good luck with your choice, OP. [/quote]

Not what you thought it would be?

I believe it.

There are so many wrong impressions of Prep and all these schools.

They are based on people's biases, their experiences in other places, something they were told or read and to a degree what they wish were true about these schools.

There's always someone on DCUM to give their unique experience that belies the general rule.

Are there kids at these schools that aren't typical of the student population but that still have good experiences? Sure!

I suspect many of those that are confused or unaware at the beginning of the Admissions process are not from this area or are new to the world of the local private schools. Most of the locals know lots about these schools including who sends their kids to them, what the kids are like, what the alumni are like and what the history of the place has been.

If you are applying to schools with only a foggy understanding of what they are really like, then you're setting yourself up for disappointment. It's probably good you figured it out before you enrolled your DS. [/quote]

Hey Pope Pompous the I, can’t believe my eyes reading about how the [b]YT Catholic people[/b] in the know, know. How about the schools advertise correctly? Put upfront the number of hours of religious instruction, homework and extracurricular activities? That’s sufficient information. The only other information I have is from the public hearings of Cult Amy and 🍺 Breath and that ain’t a positive.[/quote]

You think using YT is ok?     
Sub in any other group and you would write like this?  
Doubtful.  (I am not Catholic or at Prep btw).
