[quote=Anonymous]WIS parents are international, and many plan on sending their kids to cheaper universities abroad. There is less focus on US universities. Plenty of kids do go to US universities, but a measurably smaller percentage than kids from the other privates in town This focus on international universities, which usually admit kids based on test scores, means that the focus on extracurriculars is less than at the other privates. This makes kids less competitive for the top US universities. It doesnt mean that no kids get into Ivy equivalents, but fewer do. (I've interviewed many local kids for an Ivy, and I've spoken to a former WIS college counselor).[/quote]
