[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid applied to Walls. She's at a DC private right now. From what I understand, they're to working to reduce homogenization of the student population. And, from what I gather, this process of so much weight on recs and interview + essay is meant to account for differences in educational resources, recognize different strengths and learning styles, mitigate bias and privilege in standardized testing, encourage holistic review and individual growth, and reduce the risk of a narrow, one-size-fits-all selection process. It feels like what we've experienced during various private school admissions processes. No idea if my kid will get an interview and acceptance, but we're really, really hoping she will -- just like all the other thousands of kids + their families are probably doing right now.[/quote] Thank you for this. Good luck![/quote]
