[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I'm a college admissions professional, given applicants with identical grades, extracurricular activity, interview, I would take a Walls applicant over a Sidwell applicant every time. Nothing against Sidwell, other than it (and other similar schools) reeks of privilege. Walls admission is as competitive (or more) and doesn't have sibling preference. It could also be argued that the self-directed curriculum might both attract and yield a more resilient student. And spare me the AP offerings at Sidwell. At Walls, students can take GW classes.

You’re not a “college admissions professional,” so move along.  Your opinion, rooted in envy, doesn’t matter.[/quote]

I have no reason to be envious- kid was admitted to Sidwell last year and chose Walls. Thriving there as I expect he would have at Sidwell. [/quote]

1.  Your child wasn’t admitted to Sidwell.
2.  Your child may attend Walls but that’s because you cannot afford private school.

That’s reason enough to be envious.  Btw, it doesn’t matter what you say, your posts absolutely reek of jealousy.[/quote]
