Lol—I don’t want to be admitted to STA. I’m a parent and I have daughters. My oldest daughter applied and was admitted to NCS. Thankfully, she was admitted to her top choice coed private, so she declined NCS’ offer. My youngest daughter didn’t apply to NCS because, after the first admissions cycle with my oldest daughter, I wasn’t impressed with the Cathedral Schools. I hope that you enjoy that joyless, stifling environment though. It seems like a good fit for you. |
Good riddance! I highly doubt she was admitted. |
Doubtful that she was admitted to NCS. So if you are not interested in Cathedral schools then why harping on STA. Get a life. |
No, not all private school kids are lifers. The older they are when admitted, the more their admittance was based on their own merit. Those admitted for ninth (with the exception of some of the GDS admits last year given the unusually high percentage of ninth grade admits who were siblings) usually are the ones who could be called the cream of the crop. Also, some lifers are pretty bright and of course, the schools do get rid of the ones who need support the school won’t provide along the way. But yes, a lifer just has too keep their nose clean and fit the mold and they never have to compete for a spot until they apply to college. Easy street. And then their parents are shocked the kid doesn’t get admitted to their Ivy. |
So you don't even have a son, let alone a son at STA and you're lying and making stuff up about STA Penn Admits? What is wrong with you? Get a freaking life!! People like you are so unbelievably weird. |
there are several lifers in my daughter’s US class at NCS who are among the brightest in the class. it’s not so across the board, but also some of the girls admitted in 9th aren’t academic heavyweights either. it’s very class dependent although many on this board would like to pretend every NCS girl is the same sad, pressured child who has no fun and sits at home doing schoolwork for hours while being berated by her parents and pressured to get into an Ivy. |
I don’t have anything to prove to you. Believe it or not. Thankfully, she attends a much better school. |
Some silly STA boy keeps bragging about the school’s admissions to top colleges…without a shred of evidence. I simply called him out. While I’m “getting a life,” you should also look for one. |
NCS wasn’t a difficult admit. You’re acting like it’s Sidwell or GDS. |
Seriosly, it's 2023 not 2003. Sidwell and GDS only admit Ivy pedigree. Just look at this year's amazing ED results! |
Yes, the DEI efforts at all these schools ring pretty hollow around this time of year when legacy admits are king. |
Huh? You realize there are internal documents so all parents know where students last year and years past are currently attending. Because they don't want to share with a nosy person like you doesn't make it true. They have nothing to prove to you. I have also seen these stats but am certainly not sharing them on a public forum. |
You should really take it down a notch. Better yet, focus some of this energy on STA’s football scandal/coverup. People who live in glass houses… |
Preppy high society families are not sending their daughters to Sidwell or GDS. It is normally an all girls school and NCS is the top in that regard followed by Holton. |
