[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We we told during the summer the school was out of financial aid dollars so unfortunately we had to pull our daughter.

We then learned the schools admitted a 4 star quarterback from Canada and another football player, a senior transfer, from Watkins Mill.

You really think these families are paying anywhere near to full freight? I know of other current families who were told the same story from the FA Director.

It’s because of situations like this why Bullis reputation is turning into a jock school and if your son or daughter doesn’t play football or track, men’s lacrosse, or basketball, the administration doesn’t seem to care about you.

The sad thing is we wanted to keep our daughter there as she really enjoyed some of the teachers she met.[/quote]
Canada? I think you mean New York.

You guys just need to stop with the stereotypical inferences.  Athletes have parents with jobs.  Some athletes also come from transient families.  [/quote]

This is true. They did the same thing for other athletes. Told us no money when the financial aid package come, yet they have some very late admits with more than half aid!![/quote]
Interesting how these late athlete admits are so willing to share how much aid they are getting [/quote]

Kids talk and even brag about their recruitment process......[/quote]
Oh, so we are so sure because a kid told us that another kid told them something?

And it’d have to be true because kids never embellish.[/quote]

Where there is smoke, there is usually fire.  I am a Bullis parent and I actually believe they do this.  We are still in lower school, but hearing what gets posted on these forums about the high school makes me incredibly nervous and ready to look for another school when the time comes.  It's a shame, because the lower school is an amazing place and it's hard to imagine there being such a difference when they get up in grades.  If the high school was more like the lower (and even middle school), I'm pretty sure they could turn their reputation around.  Focus more on the well rounded child than the school winning things.
