[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: 9th grade and 7th grade. Two boys applied to both schools.   :( [/quote]

STA does not WL those that they would not consider qualified for Admission.

If I were in your shoes, I'd push hard for Sidwell - write a 1st choice letter indicating you will accept if offered off of the wait list up to the 1st day of school

For your 7th grader, I'd suggest re-applying for 9th grade. If your DC was WL then they were close and they may have a shot for 9th if they have outstanding EC's , test extremely well, can give a great interview for HS Admissions and/or are maybe an athlete with D 1 full ride potential [/quote]

Thanks a lot for your suggestion! Really appreciate it! [/quote]

yes, different poster.  My son was admitted to STA for 9th after getting waitlisted for 7th.  I really think this happens a lot.  We considered it a "3 year admissions plan".   :lol: 
7th grade admissions at STA are ridiculously hard.  [/quote]

New poster. Same experience. Waitlist 7th, admitted 9th. [/quote]

Anyone know how many boys STA takes for 6th?  Are there more slots for 7th?[/quote]

6 is as few as 5 boys (it was my son's year). 7th was 12.  In 6th they are toping off classes.  In 7th they add a new class [/quote]

It so weird to me that they take more at 7th than 6th. Does that mean they take a lot of kids from public and NPS?  I guess other K-8 too?[/quote]
