[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an interesting conversation with Dr. Boarman a couple of years ago at a sporting event early in his tenure (he was very friendly and engaging, by the way). He said that people like awards and prizes and winning, so he would build up high profile sports, in large part by using his ontacts to get many athletes from PG County. He said Bullis would also use money as, effectively, merit scholarships for academics and they'd get a bunch of National Merit Semi-Finalists at the top end who would be the equivalent of the star athletes and give Bullis more publicity in the academic realm.[/quote] Gad -- that sounds completely idiotic. Parents of kids with that kind of academic potential can get financial aid at other schools with greater resources. Regardless of financial aid, parents of those kids are looking for a robust curriculum, strong faculty and a critical mass of other kids with the same academic fire-power. [/quote]
