[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]There is really not a lot of overlap b/t GDS and WIS.....

There's quite a bit of overlap in applications to those two. [/quote]

Please.  GDS and WIS aren't comparable.  How many seniors does WIS send to Harvard and top Ivies?  It's like saying that there's a lot of overlap between the New York Yankees and the Staten Island Yankees.[/quote]ys
:) This is exactly what was meant earlier by the reference to "status-crazed" GDS parents. I'm sure some are fine, but generally they come off as incredibly obnoxious and desperate to make GDS into a little mini-Sidwell. Hope the attitude doesn't rub off too much on your children.

Anyway: from friends, travel sports, and other activities, we know WIS students from the past few years who have gone to Columbia, Stanford, LSE, Cambridge, Oxford, Brown, and Yale. I have no idea if any have gone to Harvard. [/quote]

Those who know GDS would never describe it as a mini-Sidwell.  Indeed, the academics are comparable in many respects, but you don't have to put up with all of the Quaker pretensions and distractions.  GDS has truly amazing students and faculty, and the arts arguably are better than Sidwell.[/quote]
