[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NCS is certainly not riding on STA.   Anyone truly affiliated with the school will tell you that.   They do not try to be STA, yes they have co ed classes some years but they are not trying to claim to be STA.  We have a DD at the school.  This years early admissions stats were not stellar, they were good but not amazing.  STAs were amazing this year, amazing.  BUT I can only think of one of the boys admitted to an ivy that was not big legacy, big money or recruited athlete.  [/quote]

Agree that NCS has nothing to worry about and that generally its college admissions compare very favorably with St. Albans.  Agree that it is silly (statistically and otherwise) to focus on one year.  Strongly disagree that the 17 early Ivy admits at St. Albans were mostly about sports, legacies or money--fewer than average were sports related and very few legacy either (and one of the few legacies is the likely valedictorian). No need to denigrate the STA results to respond to the mean, off-base shots at NCS.[/quote]
