[quote=Anonymous]I'm an Ivy interviewer, and the applicants I've seen from Wilson and Banneker look pretty similar: 5's on AP's, strong extracurricular interests, (and middle class homes with parents with graduate degrees). I would consider Banneker for my child (many years from now). A few questions I would ask would be 1) Would the larger setting at Wilson give my child better extracurricular opportuities? 2) What is the distribution of IB diploma scores for Banneker students? Since I know selective colleges will be expecting a kid from a home like mine to be on track for a diploma score of 39+, is the teaching in place that would allow my child to attain that score, if he applied himself? 3) Is the tough grading scale disadvantageous to college applicants? Given the low SATs, this may be a more complicated question than it is for some private that grades hard, but has kids who get a string of 800s.[/quote]
