[quote=Anonymous][quote]You don't know anything about me. I'm reacting to what is a maniacal interest in having some StA parent (which I am not) say, "Hey, yeah! We was robbed! TJ is better!"

Whoever you are, this is actually a thread about people interested in getting into StA. That may make you shiver, but unfortunately that is the thread. Why not start a thread about how much better TJ is? I am sure it will attract a lot of interest. But that doesn't mean it's productive to use every opportunity possible to insert your NMSF statistics on TJ.

If you want to say StA is not doing well, why not compare to a variety of schools? Why only one other school in the nation? In my view, if StA is inferior to only 1 or 2 schools, I could live with those odds. But then, maybe I'm not ambitious enough... [/quote]

Nonsense.  Don't despair because of this glaring statistical significant difference in NMFs at these 3 schools.  Deal with reality.  Why should it hurt or offend if you understand the components of this metric.  If NMFs are not important to you or your child why does this issue disturb you.  It's not the end of the world.  My son may wish to attend STA in later years with a full understanding of why he wishes to attend.  But, I will feed him your sugarcoated poppycock.  Facts are the facts, handle it like A STA boy.  STA is still a great school.  Not all aspects of TJ or STA should  be dressed up in your jocular platitudes about sports, art, and exmissions based on legacy and wealth.[/quote]
