[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Great to learn about your experience, it sounds amazing. Can i ask you, did you also apply to SWW? How are both schools seen by academic-oriented black teens?[/quote] I was accepted at both, but Walls was my backup school. Banneker was more prominent at the time, although SWW was catching up. I was 13, so I didn't do any extensive research. It was just known that Banneker was the "smart school." I heard that SWW was a good school, but they didn't have the bragging rights that Banneker did back then. Plus, from a pubescent boy's perspective: Banneker had the best looking girls at a ratio of 4:1. In a school with zero jocks, I was happy to take those odds. :mrgreen: [/quote] I would agree. I have friends that went to Walls and it was not at all popular or competitive 20+ years ago.[/quote] And now? At least in my circles, Walls is the hottest school around [/quote]
