[quote=Anonymous]Yes, there are other important factors to consider. I can say from experience that St. Albans also considers many other factors which show your child has a passion outside of school, be it in athletics or music or art. St. Albans wants boys who will go on to be leaders, not just the brightest boys test-wise. This is not to say the tests are not important (by their own tests they are looking for the 90th percentile nationally or above, and it is exceptionally difficult to get in if your child is not VERY STRONG academically), but that there are other important ways in which a child will stand out (ways which cannot be fabricated, but speak to the intrinsic interests of the child).[/quote]
