[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this isn't the main topic, but would a kid from a Big 3 private with straight As have a shot at getting into Walls, or are they (with good reason) looking more to accept kids who are further from opportunity? Asking because my kid may be interested in leaving their private school. [/quote] This is a super interesting question. I'm not sure anyone here can answer it. Their grades would get them past the cut-off and you should be sure to tell the teachers to rank your kid as basically "perfect" in the recommendation (since that was what was required this year and the public school teachers seemed to know this but an outside teacher might rank the top kid as a 9/10 which would not make the Walls cut-off). But then will the interviewer (or Walls staff) ding them because they're coming from private? Who knows! I would hope they get a fair shot but who the heck knows.. it's DCPS. They do what they want. It's all top secret. [/quote]
