[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it pathetic that the self-described HYP overachiever did not know that there is a long history of admissions to highly selective colleges out of Wilson.  Clearly lacking in research skills despite all that prestige.  Students applying out of Wilson get a bump up in their acceptances because they are graduating from a high poverty urban school, despite the fact that those applying to top colleges are rarely the FARMs kids.

I may be alone here, but I want my children to go to schools where they will thrive academically, build a strong sense of self and develop lifelong friendships and I don't care if it is an Ivy or SLAC or whatever.  Good luck with that plan to control your children's lives, it should lead to some joyful teenage years as your children discover your values.

I don't think anyone said that. And as for the whole college thing- all I want is to send my children to a school which at least has a track record of having top tier college acceptances. At least give your kids the CHANCE to go to the top colleges. I am not inbounds for Wilson and have no desire to move there. If I have to move or go private, we'd move to a truly good school district, not Wilson. [/quote]
