[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great college admissions this year from JR. Some have mentioned these schools, but here is a fuller list of top schools kids were admitted to: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, Brown, Penn, University of Chicago, Amherst, Smith, Bates, Spellman, Bowdoin, Trinity (Hartford), Carleton, Virginia, Michigan, Texas (Austin), Cal (Berkeley, UCSB, UC Santa Cruz), Wisconsin, Minnesota, Carnegie Mellon, Pitt, Maryland, Boston University, Northeastern, NYU, New School, American, University of British Columbia, McGill, Kings College (London), St. Andrews (Scotland), Edinburgh (Scotland), University of Amsterdam (Holland). That's off the top of my head. I'm sure I'm missing some spectacular schools. Keep in mind that JR is a huge school, but still, this is very good list.[/quote]

Same poster as above. I'll add that these are where folks are going--so it's not three kids who got into all of the schools. At least one kid is going to each of these schools. If you count schools where kids were admitted but not attending (because they are going to the schools above), you can add Duke, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, and others.[/quote]

Interesting. Is this the first Duke admit ever from JR/Wilson?[/quote]

No...why would you think that?  There is typically 1-2 every year.[/quote]

I've never known anyone from JR/Wilson to get into Duke. Except the recent baseball player. [/quote]

+1 Same. [/quote]

+2 Same. In fact I've heard that JR/Wilson kids just don't apply there because no one has ever gotten in.[/quote]

DC kids in general rarely if ever get accepted to Duke. The top privates may get one spot every other year.  I know it sounds ridiculous but I have heard from many sources that Duke does not like DC kids.  [/quote]

Is that new? I went to Duke and about a quarter of my class was from DC (mostly private schools, it’s true).[/quote]

Why would you believe PP? Who are their “sources”? Parents whose kids didn’t get in and are looking for a reason? Come on. [/quote]
