[quote=Anonymous]There aren’t that many spots. Acceptances can seem arbitrary and sometimes hinge on factors external to the candidate such as whether parents are nationals. This is due to the way WIS balances its classes. Best advice is to apply and see what happens if indeed you are interested. If you do, also make sure you’re aware of what the IB is and how it differs from other programs. All top high schools offer college level classes and are different from average American schools. The IB has specific ceilings, floors, points of flexibility and inflexibility that make it worth researching in advance to make sure your child truly wants it. In terms of competitor schools some also apply to Sidwell, others to British International School. To compare WIS to other DC privates is to compare apples and oranges[/quote]
