[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know. College matriculation isn't everything - but look at the Bullis list and look at others - I think Bullis can hold its own. My DD is a Junior at Bullis currently - and I couldn't be happier and any more optimistic about her outlook.

Your kid must be a lucky one not to be on the wrong side of the bully culture.

It’s like the movie Pleasantville.

Mr Sullivan is a charming fundraiser and recruiter and has figured out making colleges see at least some set of college kids as more competitive. He’s hands off for most anything with students.

The upper school administration is atrocious. They immediately imply if you raise even a basic normal thing that Bullis may not be the right place for you. And there are lots of families who when they raise concerns about bullying or really anything that those families are put on hold. And three have been major concerns with the bro culture with things like rankings and contests and rumors about girls - and the response was questioning the girls as acting unfortunately.

A couple personal favs from this year were when the U.S. dean sent out very from email about any parties after homecoming with alcohol being an expulsion offense. But then of course nothing happening to the auction engaged parent hosts of the parities everyone knew about.

And a recent weekly update where one of the US class deans talked about how proud they were of the students cleaning up after themselves from lunch.
