[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm truly curious as to why Prep is not considered an elite academic institution. Prep's academic curriculum is extremely rigorous. My son, a GP grad, took 10 AP classes, scored 5's on five of them (Calc AB, Calc BC, Biology, Chemistry, Latin Vergil), scored 4's on five of them (US History, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Language & Comp, Literature & Comp), scored a 35 on the ACT, went on to an elite university and is currently in medical school. Nor was this out of the ordinary at GP; many of my son's friends had the same schedule, scored the same high marks, entered elite institutions with 24+ credits having already been achieved, and are subsequently attending prestigious graduate school programs.

I cannot speak to the curriculum at Landon. My son only applied to Prep and Gonzaga and simply chose Prep due to location.

People on DCUM hate Catholics and rich people, Prep is both.[/quote]

The prevailing sentiment among the ladies of DCUM is that adolescent males should be emasculated.  Schools that promote anything to do with the "traditional" male role in society is frowned upon.  So there you have it: what could be worse than a Catholic, all-male school with a successful athletic program that supports an environment of "brotherhood" over internal competition?

This is the wrong forum if you are looking for support for Prep (or Gonzaga or even Landon). Elite athletes are "meatheads" and national merit scholars are heroes in this strange DCUM world. Thankfully not so much in the real world. [/quote]
