[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So anyone have a sense of HSPT scores needed for Gonzaga and SJC for the boy’s without legacy or athletic hooks? [/quote]

It just needs to be better than the other boys in your specific schools 8th grade class.

Each 8th grade gets a certain number of spots per year. You are only competing against the kids in your school.[/quote]

It’s not quite that simple for GZ at least. Our school has had years where no boys got in and others where a several got in. I would say a high gpa is important - mostly As and maybe a few Bs and at least 85 percentile on the HSPT.

That is extremely rare and I’m surprised your principal still has a job... if they do.

You are competing with your 8th grade in this order...

Legacies, athletes, grades

Look at how many go per year give or take 1 or 2 spots and see if anybody is blocking your child.[/quote]

Not actually that rare - not every school is like yours.

To the first timer, just do the best you can - prep for the HSPT, have strong 1st quarter grades, sign up for a shadow day, don’t get your heart set on anything until the letters come out. Best of luck![/quote]
