[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we have incoming students at STA that want to opt out of sports, then there is a real problem in admissions. STA has always been a place where everybody plays (and usually cares about) sports. If that is not the case any longer, then that is an absolute shame.

Agreed.  Current STA-mom here and I will say that word on the Close is that Admissions gets this.  Incoming students this year are best example of this turnaround.  Lax has supplanted soccer as a priority (no surprise there), and if you are a laxer who also plays football, even just above average scores may be enough to get the thick envelope.[/quote]

How about you stick to your job -- parenting -- and allow Admissions to do their job.  Only Admissions knows scores and incoming grades of applicants -- not even teachers do -- and imagine how you would feel if people made judgments about your child (his scores, his grades) without any basis.  St. Albans is one of the best academic schools in this area and beyond and long may they continue to admit brilliant and talented applicants who may or may not excel at sports.
