[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for your response. Yes, my son is one that applied to 6th and 7th grade. We were hopefull after the first time we felt encouraged by admissions staff to apply again. To be quite honest, we are a family of immigrants with no connections, no legacy family members etc. My son fell in love with St. Albans and he dreamed to be there. I do not want to put him through this a third time. He was pretty devastated yesterday. [/quote]

I am so sorry.  We are also nobodies and got in on the third try.  The third time around he applied to many schools and ironically was admitted to all of the Big3 schools.  He just put in applications left and right to see where the cards might land.  Let the time pass and see where you find yourselves when high school rolls around.  Your son may want to throw in an application to STA as one of many others or he may be thriving in public and not even give private school a thought.  Take the time and walk away completely from this for the next year.  Kids change in such big ways between 7th and 9th grade.   [/quote]
