[quote=Anonymous]PP 16:35 here. I was not trying to trivialize the admissions process to STA, or suggest that simply being a great singer or actor for the school play will land you a spot in 9th grade. What I am saying, based on my conversation with the AD a couple of years ago, is that having a substantial ability or talent that truly sets you apart from others (in combination with strong academics) tends to carry more weight later on. In the beginning (ie: 4th grade) they put more weight on scores and report cards, but later when they have a sense of the individual make up of a class (and the kinds of interests and talents in the class) they might find that to come up with a more well-rounded or diverse group any particular year, they need to bring in someone who is strong musically or artistically etc. and can add that dimension to the class. Not sure why my comments have hit a nerve with some posters-- it was certainly not intended to. [/quote]
