Some Wilson students write about surviving their urban high school, which isn't exactly in a bad neighborhood, in their essays.

Not following the survival theme.
Do you think this is really happening or is just a rumor? It doesn't sound real to me. Admissions officers are familiar with the schools in their regions and are almost certainly familiar with Wilson.

yes, of course they are public, but have anecdotally heard about "cache" of Wilson graduates getting into good schools as having "survived." Didn't know if same "cache" applied to well-regarded charters, but may be too hard to know......

I would think you check public school, as Charters are public schools and not private schools.
