[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So by that logic no one gets WL from BVR or fails to get in at all.  Sure.[/quote]

Not as many as from other schools, no. At least as percentage as Beauvoir classes are larger by comparison [/quote]

85-90% of BVR kids are accepted to NCS/STA most years. The Cathedral Foundation charter requires that NCS/STA give BVR kids priority for admissions as long as they apply early decision. The schools will accept the BVR kids unless there is an academic mismatch, behavioral issues, or some other reason why the child would not be a good fit for the school.

The percentage of kids vary by year, because the two schools test applicants. Some years, fewer BVR kids make the cut-off, some years more.[/quote]

This is good to know. So how many kids graduate from bvr every year? And how many kids do STA/NCS take in total? I'm trying to see the chance of getting into these two schools from somewhere other than bvr. [/quote]

PP no one can tell you that. There are no statistical odds because it changes every year.  Just know that if you want STA/NCS eventually, B is your best bet. Every other school will be more of a gamble, no matter how many a cathedral school happen to take from that school in any given year. [/quote]

+1. Honestly it’s not terribly dissimilar to how the k-12s work. Most kids who start in the lower school keep going all the way through, and therefore your best best for the upper school is to get in at pk or k. Sure, kids get in at later grades, but the majority still are coming from that lower school. There’s a more formalized process before 4th to move from bvr to sta/ncs, but bvr is still the lower school in the cathedral system, and the large majority of kids want to go to ncs/sta and then do so. They are separate, but much more similar to a pk or k-12 than, say, a two totally disconnected schools (say, st Pats and Sidwell, Maret, ncs, gds, etc; nps and Sidwell, Maret etc)[/quote]
