[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is fair to say is that it's significantly harder to get in at 9th and that each kid admitted has a proven track record.  I believe there are Beauvoir students among the strong performers. [/quote]

It's looking like half and half so nothing to clean from lifers versus 9th grade entrants in top 20% at STA and NCS. What you get from doing 7&8th grade at a Cathedral school, and I would add at GDS, SFS, is the workload and study habits kick in for 7th grade. So no rude awakening in 9th followed by a transition period where the new 9th grader figures out what is effective use of time, work effort, number of ECs, etc. The "programming" so to speak starts in 6/7th if you are already in the K-12. That coupled with the fact that kids who don't like the "programming" self select to leave or get counseled out (this is rare, and for the most part I see faculty kids leaving for schools closer to their home or a different environment, not for academics).

But yes 9th grade, lots of data points and the AdCom is sculpting the class for diverse fortes and interests. Helps with college app time too. [/quote]
