[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And if they go to other colleges do they go for 2 years?  In other words, do they get 2 years of college credit?  If not, they are going to college for 6 years?[/quote]

It’s a mixed bag.  Some stay at GW, many go elsewhere.  Most top schools do not accept the GW credits so kids end up going for four more years.[/quote]

I had no idea this existed...my friends with kids at Walls are definitely not doing this.  Is it considered a prestige thing for super high achieving kids or is it mostly for kids who want to go to GW and save $$$[/quote]

It is a mix.  I think it takes a certain type of kid who wants to replace their last two years of high school with college courses - the type of kid who doesn't really like high school (the scene) and is ready to be done with it.  (You really don't interact much anymore with Walls/kids at Walls if you do the GW program junior and senior year).  My kid (high achieving) is enjoying high school and in no rush to end high school early (by entering the Walls/GW program).[/quote]
