[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very selective ([b]now extremely hard to get into if your child doesn't already have 2+ languages[/b], though they need not be English, French, or Spanish). Great academics, as agreed upon by those coming from or leaving for schools around the world. Yes, the language immersion, while a huge draw for many, does not appeal to as broad a swath of DC private school parents as the general curriculum of GDS, Maret, etc., (though WIS children handle all of that general curriculum but in 2+ languages) so it isn't mentioned here as often.

Not necessarily for lower school.  I know someone who was accepted at WIS this year who only speaks English.  The same child also didn't get into any Big 3 but will be attending a school other than WIS.[/quote]

Your posting does not mean that WIS is not competitive to get into, only that the applicant (and/or their family) -- at the level the child applied -- was not a good fit for the other schools.

DC applied for preK to the Big 3 as well as WIS, and was admitted to WIS. Fast-forward years later to DC's upper school admissions process, where DC applied for admission to 2 of the Big 3, and was admitted to both.  DC chose to attend upper school in the NE instead, and went on to a top Ivy.

WIS recognized DC's natural intelligence and ability at a young age, and taught DC in the best possible way.  It is still DC's favorite school (and ours too).[/quote]
