@Golfgr8 I managed to snag a link last minute! Thanks for the link.
@one1ofeach Yeah, I see why Episcopal can be seen as an outlier, but I still think it’s as great as a fit for me as the other schools on my list. I could go on and on about how much I love the school’s community and campus…but the part of Episcopal I think I love most is the incredible externship program, which has an entrepreneurship concentration. The school culture is a perfect fit. And… it’s near a big city, DC!
@parentofnicekid I took your advice and looked around at some Blackat____ Instagram accounts. It’s hard to believe some of the things I saw. Like how at Choate, when talking about a racist Instagram account, a student said, and I quote “Won’t be shocked if nothing gets done, that’s the Choate way. Lol”. Yikes. And how a star soccer player at Loomis used the n-word when discussing enslaved people in a paper, the issue never reached admin because the teacher was his soccer coach. Or how at Andover, someone’s crush said to them “Well you’re different from the other black girls… you’re not loud”.
But what’s more interesting to me is to see how schools respond to these situations. I get that these descriptions might not be entirely accurate, but I still get concerned when I see people talk about how schools don’t do anything, even when they have the power to.
