[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i thought wilson was supposed to be this amazing school. i went to a public high school in a small town in a farm state and, every single year, the valedictorian, and sometimes also the no. 2, went to harvard. the next ten kids all went to other ivies or other highly regarded schools.  i would have thought wilson would blow that out of the water.

College admissions in 2018 are NOTHING like they were 20 years ago.  Are you living under a rock?  None of us who got into the Ivies then would get in now.  The acceptance rates are a small fraction of what they were.  
It's gotten even more insane in the past 5 or even 2 years.  [/quote]

i thought that was mostly a myth, in part because the number of high school kids has been shrinking, but i must admit i have not paid much attention to college acceptance rates since i was 18 years old. my only point was that i would have thought a much-desired school like wilson, in a wealthy neighborhood of a big city filled with type-a personalities, would have a more impressive list of college acceptances than what's been listed here so far. [/quote]what's more impressive than HYP? All have been listed...I guess there's no Caltech....[/quote]
