[quote=Anonymous]Not a DC Urban Mom but a St. Albans grad. I got in in 9th grade from a VA private school. I got like a 2350 on the SSAT, was a competitive swimmer, class president in middle school, won a bunch of science fairs. I had a solid interview I guess although I was violently ill the day I visited (tested positive for strep and the flu later that week lol). My family had no connections or anything so I just kind of applied to a bunch of private schools and hoped for the best. I got into SFS, Prep, GDS, Potomac, and STA. Almost went to SFS but decided on STA last minute.

Basically, this thread is insane. Admissions to STA has absolutely nothing to do with who's in office or the alignment of the moon and the stars or whatever you all are on about. Beyond that, STA will not guarantee you admissions to an ivy league college. There were two types of kids who got into good colleges after graduation: The legacies and the super high achievers. If you're an average kid at STA with no legacy or connections, you are basically wasting 50k per year. If you take advantage, though, it's a really great school that will prepare you for whatever your next step ends up being.[/quote]
