[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently applied to Bullis for high school and had a very nice tour.  The Head of School greeted us in the admissions office and shared his vision.  Our child is going to shadow in a few weeks as well.  We have been able to get access to the campus and met people.  We have been impressed with the warmth of the experience[/quote]

So you got the tour after application?[/quote]

Is this for LS? US? The application for US is not on Ravenna (it’s on Veracross) and has a ton of parent  questions—significantly more than the other schools we are looking at. Once you get through all of those you have to pay the fee which is more than the application fees for older DS’s college apps. THEN you can schedule a virtual tour. I have not made it that far because we aren’t sure Bullis is a good fit and we’ve been able to tour and see with our own eyes that other schools are likelies for DS. After you’ve passed the interview hurdle you can tour. After acceptance you can shadow—and I don’t understand to reiterate PPs point how they fit those all in for accepted students in the two week decision window. DS is not a recruited athlete but is interested in playing sports. He emailed the coach of his primary sport and got no response. I emailed the AD and got no response. The emails we’ve received are all impersonal form responses (a stark contrast to the personalized notes from other schools).

I think it’s great that people are having positive experiences there but all of the above adds up for us as signs to look elsewhere. Maybe I’m overthinking or overreacting and Bullis would be an amazing place for DS, but this process is awful and experiences like the above matter. [/quote]
