[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would my timid but smart ES child fit in at St. Albans? He is not aggressive enough enjoy team sports and is not naturally outgoing.  I once visited a St. Albans football game and the spectating boys were pretty rambunctious (but nice).  Would my DS fit in?  He does well academically in his private elementary school that sends many of its graduates to St. Albans, and he has a reasonable chance of being admitted there at the middle school level.  Maybe they screen out shy kids in admissions?  So -- smart, hardworking, good looking, but timid and not at all sporty -- would he fit?[/quote]

If St Pats then remember Peter Barrett retired. Even then most kids getting in were siblings or added some degree diversity. This is nothing against your son but understand this school is impossible to get into without a hook even if your son is super bright which I am sure he is. If he does get in, he will be fine as there are all sorts of boys there with many interests beyond sports. [/quote]

Oh hooray! An instantiation of the “you won’t get in,” or “post when you get in,” or “here’s why you won’t get in” sub-set of dcum. My favorite subset of useless posters[/quote]
