[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]

NP.  Wrong, wrong, wrong.  Though Beauvoir's OD made comments to us during our December feedback session that "it looks good, etc," we were still quite nervous and worried (like most of our peer parents) up until we received our DS's acceptance letter in January.  A couple of families in DS's year who were rejected had been encouraged by the OD and head of the school in December to focus on other schools.  Apparently, STA told the OD point black that they weren't going to accept them due to a combination of low grades & test scores, and behavioral issues.

And, then there were a couple more surprise rejections, these families weren't encouraged to apply/focus on other schools in December.  [/quote]
