[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child there and this is what I've noticed: College admissions are generally strong across the board. There are more kids going to good out-of-state schools like Michigan, Wisconsin, UCLA, etc. than you'll see at private high schools, often for financial reasons. And scholarships like Posse, are popular with lower-income/first-gen kids. There are plenty heading off to study STEM, but it skews more humanities. [b]You won't find rich legacy kids getting a leg up, [/b]but the outcomes are otherwise pretty similar to most area private schools.[/quote] This isn't true at all. Last year a very large percentage of the Ivy and top20 admits were legacies. There are a ton of well educated parents at Walls. Then most of the rest of the Ivies were first gen/URM. This is not to say that the kids were not qualified (they were) but their hooks are what pushed them over. I don't know this year's class so I can't comment on them. [/quote]
