[quote=Anonymous]this thread is so interesting—non BVR parents are so invested in BVR exmissions! as a third grade parent who just went through this process, there is no hook, no sibling, no large donations wrt our family. dc is bright, kind, and a great student who was accepted early to sta/ncs. this class is very strong and there was not much hesitation (at least among parents i spoke with) wrt choosing to apply to those two schools or to seek other options. a pp mentioned that maybe if you don’t want single sex, you should steer clear of BVR. i think that’s fair, especially if you think you’re going to roll on into 4th grade at SFS or Maret. the spaces at these two schools are so limited and for many reasons, they really appeal to BVR families. it’s unrealistic to think that the 10 girls and 10 boys (roughly) who decided against the cathedral schools were all going to be admitted to SFS or Maret. the math just doesn’t work and i don’t think pk or k new parents are aware of how hard it is if you want to go to those schools. and frankly, some kids will just be a better fit at those k-6/8 schools whether bc of personality, academics, whatever. but to denigrate BVR kids and families as nothing but big donors or legacies is way off base. that’s certainly not the case for this class.[/quote]
