Where Can A 91 GPA Student From St. Alban's Go?

[Anonymous]

U Chicago is actually very popular school with STA boys and 6 kids are already committed for this year.

6 would be low. The number is usually in the double digits.

Out of class of 80. That's what I call a true pipeline.

Very top non-hooked STA students did not apply to Chicago in the past, but they will now.

Last year it was 10 or 11 (15 or 16 admitted)

They will apply, but they will not apply ED or ED1. They want to go to HYP, and will try SCEA first.

Then it's up to U. Chicago how much they want the boys who see Chicago as a consolation prize.

That is not accurate!!
Last year 9 admitted kids got In through ED 1 and ED 2 .

This is likely to change.

Few others were RD and few got of WL with a gap year to join 2023 class

I agree. The chance of making to HYP by a non-hooked kid is so small now.

ED2 is a reasonable choice for a very top no-hooked kid (with a A+ average).

I think more kids will do ED 1 next year with GPA above 93

In your experience, where do kids with these grades from St. Alban's end up?

This is a question for the college counselor at St. Alban's. That's what you pay the big tuition dollars for.

Are you guys really STA parents? You are misspelling the name. I am not normally a grammar police person but it is two of you doing this.

Interesting that "multiple" kids are going to BC and UVA. Not the norm from STA.

Have you not being reading other threads in this forum? A common theme has been that the results for some of the top students at Big 3 schools have been different than years past. Also, like every other selective school, BC had a flood of applications and an acceptance rate of 15% (lower than that in RD).

If you are at STA, and decide to go to a Catholic school, it's usually Georgetown or every once in awhile, Notre Dame. BC never registered, until apparently recently. Not saying it's not a good school. I think it is. But STA is as old school as it gets, and at least ostensibly Episcopalian, though the one boy who went to BC I'm aware of is actually Jewish (not practicing if that matters).

I think you win the biggest award for the biggest idiot poster. Please tell me you are not an STA parent? That’s absolutely false. I know all of the five boys personally who are going to Boston College from STA this year and 4 of them are Catholic the one is Episcopalian. No Jewish boys are going.

If 5 STA boys are actually going to BC this year, that's either a reflection of the sole person I've known whose gone there in the last 5 years who has spread the word, or another place the college counselors have found to send the less-than Ivy kids who can't make the cut at Chicago, or whose parents think that Tulane is beneath them.

Most of the STA students who are going to Boston College this year applied ED, meaning they wanted to go and applied ED to improve their chances.

Or they were just being realistic and practical about where they thought they could get in. ED doesn’t necessarily mean dream school first choice
