Yes, and I think they had to accept by the end of January.

Don't Beauvoir parents already know if their kid is accepted into STA? Last year, I think, they knew by Dec/Jan.

Really? I was there, too, and it seemed like a lot more.

Maybe I counted wrong, hopefully I did. So our chances may go up a couple percent

I think it's fair to assume it will be quite competitive -- anywhere from 6 to 10 students per open slot depending upon how things fall out. However, remember that St. Albans has other entry points in their Lower School and of course for Upper School.
In the meantime, hang in there.
At the parents tour, AD said they are accepting about 40 kids from Beauvoir, at least that's how I understood it. Could be wrong, but pretty sure I heard correct.
That can't be right, that would be just about ALL the boys in the 3rd grade class. There are about 80 kids per grade at Beauvoir (starting in K), roughly half are boys. I'm sure it's still a lot but unlikely to be everyone.

There were about 80 kids taking the test for 4th grade and, after Beauvoir student acceptance, only 7 or so spots left open. That's a very low percentage if you're not coming from Beauvoir.
