[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a few of the kids going to Bullis, I truly question what their math and English scores are. What Bullis is doing is soo wrong on soo many levels. Their new headmaster seems with obsessed with building a football and basketball program with recruiting any star athlete they can find off the street. If you don't think their academic standards have dropped because of this, you are clearly delusional.

You don't know their scores you just assume they are low because they are good at sports.[/quote]

We heard from our educational consultant that  if Bullis wanted the kid for sports, they did not have to take the SSAT at all as long as they had a "B" average from the school they were coming from.[/quote]

This is basically accurate -- per some in the Bullis community -- but can't confirm it is only used for athletes (although that appears to be how it has been playing out).[/quote]
Bullis:
•Applicants to grades 6 through 12 are required to take either the SSAT, or the ISEE or the ERB.

St. Albans:
For all other applicants, students must submit either the SSAT or ISEE by January 22. Either test is acceptable. Students should register for either test in the fall--the test must be taken by early January for the Admissions Office to receive it by January 22.

That may be what is written on the website but the new Head of School has given the go-ahead for students with a 3.0 from the prior school to apply to Bullis WITHOUT taking the SSAT.  The Bullis coaches will tell you this fairly openly.[/quote]
