[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if the student body at Wilson (esp. 9th) is rougher than normal.  None of my kid's friend group of 15+ kids at Deal went on the Wilson.  They're at Walls, Duke Ellington, Banneker, about 5 different privates and 4 Catholics.  They were all quiet, studious kids at Deal. 
Almost all had older siblings who attended Wilson. The parents got scared off by Covid and many are scraping their dimes together to afford private or Catholic tuition.  [/quote]

Whew, I’m impressed that you were able to fit so many dog whistles into one post. [/quote]

I like you, PP. 👏👏👏👏

-signed an actual Wilson parent with two kids at the school, one of whom is a freshman and is there with many, many of her studious friends from Deal[/quote]

I don't know many.  Most of the studious kids went to Walls this year.  [/quote]

Not even close to being true...check out the threads on Walls.  They didn't take many of the highest achievers from Deal this year...[/quote]

Nope, nope, nope.  Walls admissions was a joke this year.  I know several kids from Deal that were tippy top students with perfect grades but they got waitlisted (while others with much lower grades got in.) They weighted the interviews 31 points vs 5 points for grades.  And many kids got 3 minute interviews. It was basically a lottery.[/quote]
