[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really starting to think Beauvoir is filled with a bunch of snotty nut job parents - how many threads do we need to create about how many kids from Beauvoir get accepted into STA.

It's anywhere between 5-12 kids a year. Depends on how deep the pool of applicants is.[/quote]

As the pp said it is the "outsiders" (those not in any preference group) wanting to know  probable # of available spots. There is a big difference in odds if it is 2 spots vs 5-7 spots vs 12 spots. We all know this is probably impossible but in this weekend/last 72 hours period it is very hard to keep your hopes in check. Understanding the odds help keep everything realistic.[/quote]

There is nothing 'nut job' about saying Beauvoir gets a ton of kids into STA/NCS, PP.  Its just true.  The schools have a strong relationship, and both STA and NCS conduct early admission processes in the fall exclusively for Beauvoir students.  Many families enroll at Beauvoir over other schools for this advantage in admissions later (mine included).  There is an implicit understanding that if a child does well at Beauvoir, they will get in.  And this year there was an unusually high number of boys who applied early and were admitted in December.  If you really want to know the odds to be realistic, know that STA saw and accepted unusually high numbers of BVR boys early this year, and also had to turn away a few they normally would have taken because if the sheer numbers.[/quote] absolutely.   Yes.  Acceptance isn't a given.

Are you saying there are Beauvoir boys who applied early to STA and we're not admitted through the early admission process this year?[/quote][/quote]
