[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The prep schools in Baltimore all well known in Baltimore...you'll get a blank stare in Darien CT Avon CT or heck even Sudbury/Wellesley/Northampton (?!?!?) MA... I went to St. Lawrence for college and I knew the Andovers...the Baltimore crowd lives in planet Baltimore. McDonough or Gilman aint Hotchkiss.[/quote]

To be fair, these schools mostly have local / class reputations.  For example, I am double Ivy and have no idea what a Hotckiss is.  Whatever.  I'm sure it was great.

This is kind of a dumb thread, come to think of it.  [/quote]

Hotchkiss is a type of machine gun. Used to great effect against native Americans at Wounded Knee.  Hope that helps.

Hotchkiss is in a beautiful location and has a fantastic (and expensive) physical plant. I just got back from a visit there, not to visit the school but to do some hiking in the Berkshires. However, there have been grumblings among alumni about its current direction. Not sure if all similar New England schools have the same problem, but apparently they attract the children of wealthy foreign, often corrupt, oligarchs because their parent don't complain about the sky-high tuition.
