[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the average class size at WIS?  From 2016 to 2019, 38 WIS students went to Ivy or equivalents.

On average, 25 STA students each year go to Ivies or equivalents. [/quote]

Yes, WIS is a great school but, even with its smaller size, college admissions don't really compare to Sidwell/GDS/NCS/STA.

Last year, WIS kids went to Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Chicago, and Penn.  No one went to Dartmouth, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, or Yale.

As mentioned, though, a lot of WIS kids go to schools overseas.[/quote]

Uh they have sent kids to literally all those schools except Dartmouth (notoriously the most hooked based Ivy) specifically sent kids this year and last year to the "no one went" list so I'm not sure where you got your info, but just because they skew a wider range of elite schools looking on a global level instead of isolating down to the US isn't a bad thing.  Personally, I see the way WIS's college counseling really works with the kids to find the top schools that match their interests rather than having them only shoot for a small select list like the Ivies with a few supporting schools on repeat.[/quote]
