[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anybody got any insider info on this year's results yet? STA parents are welcome to comment.  [/quote]

The word is not as impressive as last year.  I haven't seen all of the details, so I'd expect the final college placement list is still strong, but less stellar as a whole.[/quote]

Sounds pretty comparable to last year. 25 percent of the class could go anywhere, and the mix will be a different mix of the dcum obsession schools. Almost all to top 30 schools. More military than recently typical, academy and Selective school ROTC.

Really nice young men who have worked hard, and their sense of wanting to do great things with the spirituality of the cathedral ethos has broken many of the thousands of ties this hyper competitive world has gifted our next generation.[/quote]

What is "selective school ROTC"?[/quote]

I am not the person who posted about "selective school ROTC," but these days ROTC, particularly Naval ROTC ("NROTC") is very competitive because there is the possibility of full tuition scholarships to some very good schools.  So ROTC/NROTC programs at places like UVA, Notre Dame, USC, University of Texas, etc. are very difficult to get into -- it's an additional hurdle over and above being accepted into the school itself.  The service academies have also gotten more selective, I assume because of the economy -- four years worth of college sounds pretty good.[/quote]
