[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, 7 year olds wanting to put into the change jar collection what amounts to their entire personal savings and doing this on their own. Young adults calling home from college with voices slightly cracking asking about the damage to the cathedral and wanting to help. Certainly not a "shallow" bunch of minds or hearts.[/quote]

Wow, super mean.  What's up with you?[/quote]

my statement was a response to 9:10 above's snark about rich kids with deep pockets, but what PP wrote "not so deep minds". Read  above before you flame.[/quote]

I'm 9:10, and I was not the one who made the snarky comment about "not so deep minds." In fact I was criticizing 21:25's comment about "not so deep minds" as facile and shallow. Your response was not to me but to 21:25.[/quote]

I think the point of the post which started this entire aside was that the Cathedral Schools would emphasize the deep pockets even if if it meant bringing in not so deep minds.  In other words, it was a compliment, of sorts, to those current and past Cathedral school families.  Now can we get back to the point of this entire thread - my DS will be applying, although his scores are signficantly lower than his brother's.  Brother is a solid A student at STA.  Younger brother,  based on WPPSI, will likely be a B student with a sprinkling of Cs.  Will the sibling preference get younger brother over the hump?[/quote]

I know it is convenient, but do you necessarily think STA is the place for younger brother to have the best experience?  Isn't there a decent chance he feels downcast about doing significantly less well at the same school as his older brother, rather than making his own name at a different school?[/quote]
