[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just fwiw, we have an STA US underclassmen.  I am completely freaked out by the obsessive internet stalking of children’s college results at these top tier private schools — all of them.  Including this thread.  For our family, STAs culture — including not posting HS seniors college results on public IGs — is another reason the school is a good fit.  Look, if you really care about that stuff, then it’s not going to be for you.  And that’s ok.  If college results are that important to you so that you are spending time on random HS IG pages, I am ok with you going somewhere else.  Seems simple enough. [/quote]

And this is precisely why I told my DS ‘not’ to apply to St. As. There is a snobbery there (some might call it elitism) that just goes against my standards. My kid could have very well played in the St.As lane. Just wanted less of that mentality for my kid.

Not worried about top college for DS either. We have that covered.

My kid participates in the college web pages, which I think is normal for most seniors to participate.  But I agree, it does feel a bit “intrusive” if you just don’t want people to know that you didn’t get into Harvard, or that you made a “financial” decision (aka public college).

The only people that I know that don’t want to advertise the college commitment are those that feel it will bring more questions, or that have something to hide.  Usually, it’s the latter.

And I know your school well. I get why you do this.[/quote]

Uh, anyone who would call it St. A’s does not know it at all. :roll:

The school strongly encourages the boys not to post. Clearly you have no idea why.[/quote]
