[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP, the above post is correct. If you are interested in Cathedral school, it’s really hard to get into them even from NPS. NCS is easier but STA is really really hard even if the child is spectacular kid. Many legacies are in NPS, too. I didn’t understand this before we started, but we observe that majority of STA admits from NPS are legacies/siblings, or really well connected families.

If you want other schools, then go with NPS. It has decent placement, but harder for boys.

Good luck!

As many pointed out, socially speaking the two schools are more similar than different. [/quote]

The last few years several girls from NPS has been accepted to NCS from NPS and turned it down. So not quite sure "it's hard" to get into NCS from NPS and several boys have been accepted and gone to STA. [/quote]

You're missing the point.

It will never be as easy for OP's family to get into the Cathedral schools as it is now, with an acceptance from Beauvoir. Yes, some kids from NPS do go to STA/NCS each year - but you have to acknowledge that almost all of them are siblings, legacies or have some other connection or inroad that you may not be aware of. I have seen that year after year at NPS - particularly for STA - and stand by that comment.[/quote]
