[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]again not sure why the above poster would say things like that (or how they could know re Skip- Grant supported kids).  I am under the impression there are a few per year, including the lower school.

the real truth is that it is a lot easier to get in at 4th then later on.  And to be brutally honest, many of those admitted in 4th might not have been so lucky in the 7th or 9th grade pools.  Some are lucky that they come from beauvoir for example and get an early admit.

How many boys from Beauvoir don't get admitted to St. Alban's per year? Why don't they get in? Merely test scores? Annoying parents? What is the reason? Are these children blind-sided by this? How do you explain to your son that his friends are going on together and he won't? This concerns me. I am not worried about the prestige of St. Alban's but rather my child's feelings. Is it that they don't have enough spaces for everyone? [/quote]

If you're from Beauvoir first ask the outplacement director.  Maybe, your son didn't receive a good enough reccommendation from Beauvoir.   If you have a track record of being an annoying parent at Beauvoir they very well may have reported that. Maybe, your son didn't have good enough test schools from Beauvoir.  STA might give you a debriefing and tell you out right why your son was not accepted.

Our graduating year, I remember the boys who were rejected from STA and they were proudly annoucing the names of their new schools.  Your son has or will move in, you must too. [/quote]
