[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Judging from the kids at Beauvoir, NCS and St. Albans, admissions can’t be that selective.  The whole exclusive thing is a myth created to separate fools from their money..[/quote]

St. Albans has a special relationship with Beauvoir as it is a fellow Cathedral Close school so, typically, they accept about 31-35 of the 45 boys into C form from Beauvoir BUT if there are strong academic concerns or strong behavioral concerns they will inform the Beauvoir family - -that it is a no go. In addition, every year about 3-4 Beauvoir boys have parents who prefer Sidwell, Maret or GDS and can actually get in to those options.

Hence the 33-35 going to STA.

That leaves 10 spots- for kids from throughout the entire rest of DMV for non-Beauvoir kids to enter in C form ( 4th Grade). So, yes, that is very competitive. So much so that some parents are willing to pay 37K a year in Beauvoir tuition just to avoid the shut out that comes later.

HS Admission to Saint Albans is extremely competitive. I think 10 % or less, but ask the AD.

Best of luck to your DC.[/quote]
