I know of two Yale admits from SWW, as well as Georgetown, Harvard, Caltech, William & Mary.

Are the kids "unhooked" -- versus any legacy, URM preference, etc?

Or athletes?

From SWW?

First, honors for all. Next Ivies for all!

Keep hating on Wilson - that's just fine.
Congratulations to all of the kids who got into college so far! We've had a few Ivy admits so far!

Happy for Wilson kids, but you have to admit that "honors for all" is pretty lame-brained.

Some kids go to Yale. And others go to the DC jail.

Do you just have to believe that your private-school kid must be better at all things, and that it's just reverse racism keeping them out of the top schools that DCPS kids are getting into? So obnoxious on so many fronts. The SWW kids are great kids and great students and the uninformed bullshit here makes me sad for our country. And, FWIW, I'm white.

At Wilson, also Yale and Princeton, according to my DC.
