[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been an alumni interviewer for my undergraduate college (an Ivy) for a while. We take a ton of kids from ST Albans every year - the kids at the top of the class have great grades and scores and good extracurricular involvement. We also like St Anselm's kids, since they not only have good grades, but there is quite a bit of good character education and community service going on there. It's also okay to be quirky there. Georgetown Prep isn't considered to be in the same league academically, and there are a lot of public schools in Montgomery County that have a much better track record with us than GP.[/quote] Relative to a Prep "track record, there's a strong preference among Prep people for schools like Notre Dame, Georgetown and BC which they prefer to many of the Ivies. Many Prep parents are reluctant to consider Ivies because of the Liberal bias there. I have heard many times, "Why would we want to send our son or daughter somewhere that our values are going to be under constant assault".[/quote]
