[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NPS admits to STA over the past 3 years were by-in-large hooked.

2019: 3 admits, all hooked 
2020: 7 admits, all hooked or all but one hooked.  There were at least 12 boys who applied to STA from this class and only the ones with hooks got in.  My friend's son was unhooked. He did not get in. 
2021: I don't know the results[/quote]

Wow. Where can I find this information? Would the admin people be honest if I ask? Thank you![/quote]

If you believe the previous poster, you're crazy.  No way would they know this information.   Not buying it.  I have a kid that came from BVR so I have no dog in this fight but if you all believe this poster, you're crazy.[/quote]

I have to sign off but I'm not making this up.  Clearly I spent too much time worrying about this at the time.  It was our top school choice.  Our kid is now elsewhere and doing very well so it all worked out in the end. 
We just applied kid #2 and he/she is joining his/her sibling.

2019--3 kids came from NPS. 2 were siblings and the third was some kind of hook (NCS sister?).  I'm forgetting what exactly.  My own son applied and was waitlisted. That year out of 12 or so STA 7th grade admits, 11 were hooked in some way (sibling/URM/VIPs). It was a crazy year--it's not always like this. 
2020--NPS was a very boy heavy class (like 60-70%).  A bunch applied to STA (12-14?).  7 got in. They were all siblings or legacy.  I know because I had good friends in this class.  It's not top secret knowledge. Parents talk about admissions and this was a large pool of parents so there was a lot of talk to a lot of people. The kids all landed elsewhere and it all worked out. 
2021--I have no idea. 
You are welcome to contact NPS to confirm all of this or speak to another parent in one of these former classes. [/quote]

Anyone else can confirm this story?[/quote]
