If your child did poorly on hspt, did they get in anywhere?

What are the odds for a 92 percentile URM non-Catholic school kid getting into St. Johns or Gonzaga? Mostly A grades.

Wrong thread. See the part about “doing poorly on the HSPT” in the title.

But to address your humble brag, yes of course with that test score you’ll get in.

I assume odds are low when you factor in the illiterate moron they have for a parent.

Compared to who? The person pretending 92nd % is a low HSPT score ?

Probably not an illiterate moron, just a run-of-the-mill troll.

This area is competitive and they are non-Catholic without the highest score or perfect grades. Didnt mention athletics and guessing no other hook. I think it’s a fair question.

My DS wound up enrolling at his second choice school after being waitlisted and eventually locked out of his top choice. Thankfully, he's enjoying it and doing well, but it's frustrating to see how kids with lower scores but similar profiles otherwise (extracurriculars, etc.) were admitted to his top choice. I know there are a lot of factors that must go in to these decisions, but with all the emphasis on HSPT being so critical you'd think it would be as straightforward as higher scores having the highest chance of admission, but it doesn't always seem that way.

I'm the person "pretending." I truly didn't mean to humblebrag. I have been reading past threads with multiple posts saying that their 98 percentile kid was rejected from places like Gonzaga. In reading these posts, it made it seem like the requirements for acceptance at some of these schools was very high 90s. Additionally, the posts have suggested that non Catholic school kids would likely need to meet the highest bar possible because there are so few spots afforded to them.

Thank you. This is exactly right.

Wow. Good to hear. Is your son an athlete? Did you apply to Gonzaga?

Gonzaga took soooo many mediocre students --two with behavioral issues--from our old grade school because the parents basically wrote the essays and got priests to write letters of rec

Gonzaga doesn't take the best students, but does take the most enthusiastic ones.

My catholic kid from a public school has straight A’s and extracurriculars, etc. but she did poorly on the test (below 60%).

Sigh.

I’m guessing we are stuck in public school.

Your kid gets straight As but scored below 60% on the test? Talk about grade inflation!

Yes.

But this certainly isn’t limited to public schools. I know several kids at “good” Private schools who scored in the 40-60 range. Those kids also have straight As.
