[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We will be going through this next year. My kid is in a Catholic Middle School now and we have been told that if we apply to a school without our diocese, we have a better shot at getting in. If we try to apply to a school that is not in our diocese, it will be more competitive. However, we don't live in a world where everyone is in 90th percentile. You child may get in and not be taking honors classes. Wouldn't that be OK?[/quote] DD had high grades and a 97 percentile HSPT with good recommendations and she was waitlisted by Visi & accepted to SHC & many other schools (she took ssat too & did similarly). We know that girls from the bottom of the class got into Visi outright so they appear to want a range of ability levels at the school. SJC is just very popular and there are many athletes and other applicant populations to fill out their class so I think it’s partly luck that gets a kid in there.[/quote]
