[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would look at little Langley and Potomac. We’re also Indian, but our focus wasn’t solely on whether there were many Indians, but on diversity in general. We visited Landon and that was nearly all white even though we were impressed with the academics and the few Indians there told Landon parents treat them like crap and never invite their kids for anything. I would say that my experience with Indians at Bullis, those kids never really amount to much because the Indian families who send their kids just think dropping them off and writing a check means that the school should parent, nurture, and develop their kid into ivy material. We personally know 3 Indian kids who went to Bullis and not a single one is financially independent. No joke, one of them still lives at home and works at Starbucks while his mom complains that she spent all this money on Bullis, but that didn’t do anything for him. Meanwhile, she never put the kid in summer camp or encouraged sports of any kind as she was too busy planning elaborate parties for the south Asian community.  The Sidwell Indians are more involved and approach their kids education more like white people. My advice, look for lots of different types of diversity. I don’t want my kids associating with Indians who come from families that are obsessed with money, pure academics, and prestige. I don’t care if my son or daughter end up at Mason as long as they are happy and doing a job they love. Other Indians would be horrified (this includes my brother and mom)[/quote]

Horrified about a kid ending up at Mason?  Absolutely.  [/quote]

I’m not Indian but from a Middle eastern background and I know a lot of physicians, dentists and attorneys that went to Mason for college. Saved money on college and saved it for grad school![/quote]
