[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, I am not buying that PP is a parent of a child at STA and "applying for a younger sib". It is the end of October. How can you be "unsure of whether he will get over the hump " at this point in October. You should have already been told by the OD at your son't current school. If you were not, you will know in the next several weeks, so why post here ? [/quote]

Please don't be so mean. I'm not PP, but it is not true that the OD at the current school would have told PP of her son's chances. Not all schools can know their students' chances at STA. When my son was applying, we certainly did not have any idea in October (or November, December, January, or Frebruary). As for why someone would post here -- haven't you ever talked over things with others, hoping to get some reassurance or at least more information? This is a forum for parents. I appreciate the support that just talking with other parents gives.[/quote]

No OD who knows what they are doing will say that a boy will definitely be an admit at St. Albans.  There are too many variables and uncertainties.  Besides, who wants to get sued.  But you know you're generally on the right track if they are not pushing other schools.  If they seem eager to talk about other schools and throw the phrase "good fit" in the same sentence, you should see the writing on the wall . . .[/quote]
