[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whitman grad whose kids are at Wilson. The fact that Wilson is more diverse in all ways and not 95%+ go to 5 year colleges are the main differences. The UMC parent pool and the kids are virtually interchangeable. 
Whitman college counselors are also a joke. That’s only a private school thing. Informed and driven parents guide the process with their kids too. [/quote]

The numbers in the college admissions don’t really support what you’re saying.

Agree.  Whitman's results from last year are much better than Wilson's if you're coming UMC to UMC. Wilson's were just not good at all. I'm not sure what happened.  Walls' were much better too. [/quote]

And what is “good” in your elitist mind?  Do you realize it was a shitshow everywhere last year?  And news flash - you are not a loser if you don’t go to an Ivy or a public like Michigan, Berkeley, UVA and such.  I weep for your children, I’m sure you’ve totally messed them up.[/quote]

You need to chill the heck out.  No where did I say that I expect or want my kids to attend top schools.  I could actually care less about Ivies or similar. 
I'm simply stating the facts. Up thread someone posted that Wilson grads go to "X, Y and Z top schools".  The fact is that this really didn't happen last year. No where did I say that this was a shame, a problem or something that will derail the plans I have for my kids. 
The FACT is that Whitman and Walls UMC kids--as a population--went to much better schools than UMC kids from Wilson did last year. Personally I would be happy as a clam with Wisconsin.

+1  I’m sure PP did her best to make sure she got into the “elite” DCPS catchment so that her kid would receive an education that would not limit possibilities, and how she’s pissed and calling others elitist because she was wrong about what Wilson can offer.[/quote]
