[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for sharing your story. Do you think if you had gone to public school all the way through your adult life would have turned out any different?[/quote]

No idea.

I suspect I would have had a better shot at Yale or Harvard etc applying from Wilson (wound up going to a top ten SLAC). But maybe I would have been less prepared for college once I got there. I know the top students in my class at Wilson had some trouble adjusting to college at first academically - and I'm talking about really smart kids with smart parents. I think Wilson has improved a lot (though some of the teachers still suck bc you can't just get rid of them).

Maybe I would have wound up being a little less high strung and uptight - spending six teen years in a high stress environment does things to your personality, I think.

I've also noticed that my friends who went all the way through Wilson have dated and married interracially more than my friends from private school. That could just be a coincidence, though.
