[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I'm not muck raking.  I'm sincerely wondering if it might be easier to be accepted at these schools this year and wondering if Landon had fewer applications after its bad press years ago.  I'm sure there is a core constituent base and that Landon rebounded.  But, was there a dip?  If considering Holton or Prep or St. Albans, might my DD and/or DS have an easier chance applying this year?  DD is also looking at Catholic girls schools.

Why would you put Holton in that group? I don't particularly like Holton, [b]but one of its students being assaulted 35 years ago [/b]does not seem to have anything to do with the school overall. It's not like they created a culture that encouraged being assaulted then and for sure don't now. [/quote]

Come on now. You know the word allegedly belongs there.   And if BK did do the things that he is accused of, I’m sure it’s not Georgetown Prep’s fault for creating that culture. Most of you were toddlers in the early 80’s. It was a very permissive time. My high school even had a smoking area. The 70’s/early 80’s were an overall permissive time period. [/quote]

I totally believe she was assaulted. I’m not sure many people question that. I didn’t say that Bart allegedly did it.

I was not a toddler in the early 80s, I was in college, after graduating from a DC area private school. I looked back at my yearbook and we had those personal sections but there but really no references to sex and very few to drinking. We were a geeky group. [/quote]
