[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My observation of watching the friends of my three kids who went to Lafayette ES and Deal MS, all of whom graduated over the last 7 years: there is no observable difference in the overall patterns of where the Walls vs Wilson (now Jackson Reed) went to colleges.  Mix of selective, highly selective, and elite colleges, both public and private.  The handful of kids that went to Ivies from both schools were legacies and/or athletes.  Pretty much the pattern you'd expect.

Those who went from Deal to private high schools probably were more likely to go to private colleges compared to the kids who went to Walls or Wilson.[/quote]

My kid graduated from Walls in the last three years.  Admitted to Ivy and attends there now. No hook, no legacy.  [/quote]

I know a bunch of Walls kids who went to Ivies over the past few years with no hook or legacy (and Stanford, Wash U, UCLA, Northwestern, Duke, Carnegie Mellon, etc.)[/quote]

Yes, same.

And the Walls class of '23 college acceptances were very strong. From what I observed, that class was a particularly highly motivated group of kids.

About two dozen went to Ivies (I know one was a legacy), and a good number to other very selective schools--including 
Yale  
Princeton
Penn
Dartmouth
Barnard
Cornell
U Chicago
Berkeley
Stanford
Duke
Johns Hopkins
Amherst
UCLA
USC
Pomona
Pitzer
Swarthmore
Northwestern
Carnegie Mellon
Spelman
UNC Chapel Hill
Haverford
UVA
U Michigan
