[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GDS is in another league that Georgetown Prep. It is like Real Madrid and Valencia, if you know what I mean....[/quote]
Except that Prep has more history, wealth, national name recognition (http://www.businessinsider.com/most-selective-boarding-schools-in-america-2016-2/#14-tie-georgetown-preparatory-school-2), and famous alumni (https://www.gprep.org/about/alumni/notable-alumni).  Nobody has heard of GDS outside of DC.  At least Sidwell has name recognition.[/quote]
I disagree. Look at the placements. At the US Presidential Scholars Programs. Ask anyone who works in admissions at the most reputable US universities. Don’t fool yourself. Georgetown Prep might be a great alternative, an outstanding school, but it is playing in another league. Full stop.[/quote]
Look at the end product beyond high school and college.  A Prep degree will open more doors than a GDS degree.  Prep counts among its alumni, Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch and newly confirmed Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome “Jay” Powell.  [b]I doubt GDS has many Trump high level appointments[/b] (probably not many high level GDS appointments from Obama administration, either).[/quote]

Having not one but two Trump appointments would be so embarrassing. No wonder everyone wants to go to Gonzaga.[/quote]

:D 
You know you're desperate when you cite Trump level appointments. [/quote]
