PP: Do you have a sense if there are more boy or girl sibs? More than normal years?

He likes seeing all his friends there, and he likes the cookies and lemonade. I don't know, maybe I'm not looking around as much as I should.



Cotillion or Mrs. Simpsons?

STA is the anti-Beauvoir. That's the ultimate irony. STA does not coddle. It is not racially or economically diverse. It places value on winning above all.


Balderdash.

For God and Country above all.

A few were told it would not be a good fit and some decided on their own that it would not be a good fit.

Was there a common thread for those girls that chose not to apply?

You "apply," but most are presumptively fed from Beauvoir onto NCS/STA.


What were numbers like for 2009?


70 percent from Beauvoir to STA.

50 percent from B to NCS.


Why so low at NCS?
