They always get into some good schools. The issue is when they feel out-matched by peers who have attended far more rigorous public and private schools. It is a rude awakening for many.

LOL at all of you sad people trying to downplay the Wilson kids' achievements.

Why are you all acting as if it somehow reflects badly on you that lots of Wilson kids are smart and high achievers?

There is usually a thread around this time of year about college acceptances for Wilson's graduating seniors. Did I miss it?
