40 out of 80 or so went so went to Yale, Harvard, Chicago, Princeton, Columbia and Penn last year. 7 alone went to Yale. Sorry, so wrong.

This is a bold face lie! Don't believe the hype.

Sorry, you are wrong. Get the Bulletin and look at the numbers. Came out in September of 2019 or so. Might be an atypical class but the class of 2019 at STA killed it.

Here’s the STA booster lady. She probably works there and her job is to monitor STA posts

I knew a bunch of STA boys who graduated about ten years ago. They never amounted to much. Just lived off -do you know who my father is? Some had total failure to launch - living at home after college. The most successful one opened a bar

Solid use of facts in your retort. Cite a fact or go away. It’s very simple.

Where are your facts? YOU go away

It’s very simple. You get to dictate who contributes to this forum.

I have the Bulletin in my lap. I can read where the class went to school and add the numbers up. Very simple. It does not take opinions or jealous rants. But I will take your response as a statement of a disqualifying lack of knowledge and a window into your immature intellect.

We are so jealous and wish we could be you. You are such a good writer and modest. So not pompous and condescending and fos

Facts. Not rants. Not ad hominem attacks. Put the sauce down. Stop swearing and document your position. You will do better that way.

If you can’t, just stop. So silly and lame as is.

Again, why do you feel the need to tell people what to do? Why aren’t you content to sit with your copy of the bulletin on your lap, sure that we are jealous of you.

I feel the need to set the record straight. In a day and age where “my own truth” is asserted as if it meant something, I find fact free arguments disquieting.

And where do you implying I think you are jealous? I referred to you as a hater, which I don’t consider the same thing but maybe you do.

But if you are into baseless gibberish, ad hominem attacks and relativism, well I guess you are correct: I am wasting my time talking to you.

Well, I think W&M would be better for my kid than UVA, but OOS tuition really means privates are roughly same cost.

You referred to “jealous rants”. The rest of your post is gibberish.

Plus you have to figure in athletic recruits (quite a few of these from STA that I'm thinking of in that 9% over the past5 years to Stanford and Princeton especially).

I cannot think of an STA boy who was a recruited athlete, but there have been a few boys admitted to Stanford based on their academics. As for Harvard, there are usually two Harvard admits each year. Last year, the boy who ended up attending Harvard was a walk-on to the team, definitely not a recruited athlete.

Are you really spreading fake news? 19 out of one class have never gone to Yale and Chicago. University of Chicago is the biggest feeder with 38 in the last five years (average of 7 per year) and Yale is number 2 with 16 in five years (including 2019 grads) (that's 3 on average per year) - neither of these equate to 19 in one year. Sorry, STA booster but your numbers are way off and your nose is growing in front of all of us.
