[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're both fantastic schools but St Anselm's is a much, much easier admit.  
My son was did not get into STA for 6th.  We called St Anselm's in April of that year and they said they would be happy to have him.  They arranged 1:1 admissions testing the following weekend.  We have two family friends who had a similar experience in other years (which is why we thought to call St Anselm's)

He ended up going elsewhere due to the commute but but we loved the school. [/quote]

St Anselm's is an easier admit if your son is good enough—they'll take him, if he scores well, interviews well and seems a good fit. But if your kid doesn't fit the bill, there's no strings to pull, checks to write, etc. Your son was probably exceptionally well-qualified and that's why he had a smooth process—and there are a lot of kids at St. Alban's who wouldn't, because they wouldn't cut it.

St. Alban's is much more likely to accept a candidate for family, sports or money. The process is much more complicated and at the end, works out well... but there's different standards at work. [/quote]
