[edit] Prep Denied Me

for no apparent reason, i my application was denied. i got better grades than a kid in my class, and he got in just because his brother goes there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.126.50.9 (talk) 00:16, 1 March 2008 (UTC) Per the Boarding school review, Prep accepts less than 25% of its applicants. While good grades are very important, the school also reviews an applicants SSAT scores, extra-curricular activities, and sports participation. Admission is based on all of these factors, not simply on school grades. Dmchad77 (talk) 20:56, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Mario Lopez did not go to Georgetown Prep.

[edit] Distance from DC

Georgetown Prep is more like 5 miles from the District of Columbia-Maryland border, not 2 miles. Should that be fixed? Mmace91 04:19, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Sure, fix it. --Awiseman 16:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

This school is not that good. This makes it sound like heaven on earth, for the past ten years the school has begun a much larger focus on sports instead of academics. I would know, Im a senior graduating this year, and the only kids that get into top schools are filthy rich —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.251.243.242 (talk) 22:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC) I would challenge the above assertion in three ways. First, any student that is a senior at Prep knows that this assertion is patently false. Good grades and good SAT/ACT scores are what gains any high school graduate entry into the top tier universities, and Prep is no exception to these requirements. Second, the school is strongly oriented to develop "men for others" in the Ignatian tradition. This tradition focuses on building in each Prep student the qualities of competence, conscience, courage, and compassion. While athletics play a major role in the Prep experience, the main focus is clearly on developing the whole person. Last, the Boarding School Review ranks Prep as one of the most selective high schools in the United States, which is indicative of the academic quality of the school.Dmchad77 (talk) 21:05, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rivalries section

Seems like junk to me, but I'm going to keep it in the hopes that somebody will clean it up. --Awiseman 16:46, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
