[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which private is your other kid at and why sta over that one for this kid?  You need to make that clear in application or they will assume you aren’t serious about sta.[/quote]

I don't want to necessarily identify myself but my other child is at either Sidwell/GDS. I already said I was applying to the other private my older child attends, but as an option was also considering STA. Primarily because my DS is super sporty unlike my other child who is mostly academically strong. Many have said STA is big on sports. Trying to find the right fit for him. [/quote]

Sta is a rigorous academic place and has more of a sports focus than sidwell or gds, but it's not "big on sports.". For that, look at St. Johns or Gonzaga. With your other kid at gds or SFS, you need to really figure out if sta is your first choice and make that really clear. Otherwise, just being honest, I don't see then giving one of the very few fourth grade slots for non-bvr boys to your child. [/quote]
