[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I do know them. It's a lot easier to do well when there is no competition. It's not rude, it's just the truth.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends OP. If you're talking suburban public, it's easier to get good grades. If you're talking urban public, most of the top colleges really respect a kid who can get good grades/scores coming from a "scruffy" school. For example, I know kids who graduated from [b]Wilson H.S. and SWW in DC who did well for college acceptance.[/b] They would have been 'run of the mill' kids in private.[/quote]

But that kid will have a hard time graduating college with good stats. [/quote]

BS. Do you know these kids? What a rude assumption.[/quote][/quote]

Ok, so your assumption that there's no competition at Wilson and Walls is what's rude.  And re truth, sometimes the absence of competition actually raises standards.  Smart, ambitious kid aspires to do something well vs. better than the other kids.  [/quote]
