You "apply," but most are presumptively fed from Beauvoir onto NCS/STA.

What were numbers like for 2009?

70 percent from Beauvoir to STA.

50 percent from B to NCS.

Why so low at NCS?

There were a significant number of girls who chose not to apply. Also, it was a smaller than usual number of girls in the class. (PP may be calculating 50% from the usual 40 or so girls in the class; I think the percentage is higher even though the number going to NCS is low.)

Was there a common thread for those girls that chose not to apply?

A few were told it would not be a good fit and some decided on their own that it would not be a good fit.

Regarding the 30 % of boys who don't go on to STA, did they not get in or do they typically choose to go elsewhere?

Both. See St. Albans thread for stats on acceptances.

The handful of Jewish families seem to do fine.

STA is the anti-Beauvoir. That's the ultimate irony. STA does not coddle. It is not racially or economically diverse. It places value on winning above all.

Balderdash.

For God and Country above all.

He likes seeing all his friends there, and he likes the cookies and lemonade. I don't know, maybe I'm not looking around as much as I should.

Cotillion or Mrs. Simpsons?

PP: Do you have a sense if there are more boy or girl sibs? More than normal years?

[Anonymous]
