[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They always get into some good schools. The issue is when they feel out-matched by peers who have attended far more rigorous public and private schools. It is a rude awakening for many.[/quote]

But so what; at least they got into somewhere. What does it matter to you or anyone else. [/quote]

Top schools like geographical and public/private diversity, and there aren't many places to look in DC other than Wilson.

But Wilson [b]students generally don't shine at top schools compared to graduates of area privates and MD/VA publics.  They are typically middle of the pack and quite a few struggle.[/b]   [/quote]

PP, in the interests of taking your unproven assertions seriously...are you saying here that the top colleges in the country - who largely have their choice of students, and who have, over the years taken dozens of Wilson students - continue to accept them knowing that they will be mediocre, middle of the pack students.  Really???[/quote]

A lot of colleges admission staffs like Wilson because they can score points for recruiting from an "urban" high school and often diversity, while taking students who more closely fit the profile of advantaged suburban students.[/quote]
