Despite the "grueling and onerous" admissions process for the former and the fact that the latter lets in all of Scarsdale's many broke drug addicts

You do realize HM accepts a ton of poor kids and DEI admits? It weighs down the averages significantly.

Because poor kids are dumb? This is such elitest BS.

They tend to be dumber than their affluent peers. Social statistics support this overwhelmingly.

Scarsdale is not “extremely wealthy.” Most people there couldn’t afford a nice 3BR Manhattan co-op with 6k a month maintenance along with two TT tuitions. They live there because they couldn’t afford an upscale suburban lifestyle and got pushed out. That is the case with almost every NYC suburb, which have hellish commutes and a total lack of culture. If you handed them a higher compensation package and a Trinity acceptance they’d be on the first train or car service back to Manhattan. Alas.

Cheap houses are $2M and the commute on Metro-North is better than much of Brooklyn, you seriously seem to be using “Scarsdale” as a name for some other suburban town you made up in your head.

If you want to go after like Wilton or Weston or Trumbull or Fairfield or one or the other fringe CT suburbs, have at it, and likewise far out NJ or upper Westchester. But Scarsdale specifically is a really bad example for what you’re trying to say.

Yea, Canarsie is far out there.

It’s actually a perfect example. Even the better towns people fetishizes here are so much inferior to the prewar co-op, downtown loft, TT school lifestyle. Everyone already knows Weston is crap. They should realize Scarsdale is too.

I have a friend with a $10 million plus house in Scarsdale. Not sure why you are obsessed with it. Did they beat your high school in a marching band contest in the 90s?

Bottom line is top kids at a school like that are as good as any school in America. But it is a public school that can’t cherry pick so has plenty of less smart kids also.

I went to a large diverse public school in a socioeconomically diverse suburb. In absolute numbers we got as many kids into ivies as Dalton, Trinity, etc. But we also had kids join the military, work construction, or go to community college. Welcome to the real world.

I'm not the person arguing otherwise. The difference, I suppose, is that the class composition is going to be different so it's hard to compare. HM has much more control over that, and the kids are generally high-achievers with very few exceptions.

Hi. I used to teach dance at Horace Mann. There was every "kind" of kid and definitely some neurodiversity in my class.

Then your friend’s an idiot for buying the house. There’s also eight figure houses in Mount Kisco and Stamford. You’d have to be a moron to spend that much in any of those places. He probably went to public school….

As if my secondary school would ever associate with a school like that. We’d leave the city limits for squash games, though. Brunswick wasn’t that far.

I don’t associate with people working trades or joining the military out of desperation. Born and raised in high white collar America and gladly remained. K-12 private, Ivy, great career. Your “real world” sounds cute from afar.

You are an embarrassment to whatever Ivy you claim to have gone to (I call BS on that). You are low class trash. People raised "the right way" don't talk about others like that. Go back under the rock you crawled out from.

And on the off chance you played squash (also calling BS on that), Brunswick would have whupped your sorry backside. Harlem Children's Zone would have whupped your sorry backside.

Brunswick isn’t as dominant as you may think. It wasn’t in my day. So funny, you are assuming an anonymous commenter’s athletic abilities (in addition to socioeconomic status and education, beyond what they have outlined). If a product of StreetSquash ever beat me when I was competing I would’ve quit the sport in embarrassment (along with my memberships). Fortunately, I was very good and they…. aren’t good.

My Ivy loves me (and my three children who went or go now). If you think an Ivy cares about your conduct so long as it doesn’t enter the news and you write checks, you are sorely mistaken.

Saying suburban public schools aren’t as good as Collegiate and NY suburbs suck isn’t trolling.

I can't believe I'm wasting my time with a loser like you but Brunswick won nationals last year. So they are kind of good. But of course you know everything about everything. So sad. Now go grab your ICE badge and ski mask and get back to work abusing people and violating their civil rights. Trump doesn't like his idiots wasting time online.
