this is from the portal. I'm not sure if you need to sign in (which you couldn't) ,but hopefully you can see it.

two things: racism in admissions is super real. "just another stuy robot" etc etc. it's bullshit. white kids like mine have an easier time.

and: I think it may be hard for DCUM to understand the poverty. many of these kids and their families really struggle. sending a kid far away is not everyone's first choice, esp when the kid is a cultural support.


for example, I dont know that I've ever seen the words "Sophie Davis" here on DCUM, but admissions into Sophie Davis garners far more oohs and ahhs than Harvard. Ditto Macaulay Honors.

also, it's a big class and a big world and stuy reflects it all .. which is awesome. I really love Stuy (and Tech and Bronx Sci etc) and think there are few institutions that catapult kids from poverty to professional class like these schools. my accountant is a stuy grad. my OB is one. the woman who did my will is one. etc etc. All of them landed in the public school system as new arrivals like so many kids are right now. The system isn't perfect, but these schools are jewels.

Most state's magnet schools are the same. It's just VA and SF with these massive magnet schools that aren't filled with poor people.

NP well most people dont know about a similar school in LA or Dallas or Miami. Not w a national name like Stuy.

Stuy boosters are now on DCUM. Sounds like another HS in a crappy neighborhood in Brooklyn.

It's weirdly never been in the Brooklyn "Bed-Stuy" community, which I find a bit ridiculous. It's in Manhattan, so as shitty as a Manhattan neighborhood can be (hint: not very)

I’m from NY and currently live in VA (McLean). It seems like a lot of people in VA pick more publics like UVA, W&M and VT over other better privates.

I just looked at the TJ instagram. It is striking that almost every kid is Asian. I thought they were trying to change the make up so it was more diverse. Are there more than a handful black, white or Hispanic kids? What are the demographics of TJ? Impressive colleges. Congrats to them all1

No way. It’s been about 10%, give or take, for a while now.

A Stuy parent.

From the INS link, I see about 30% to Ivies.

Cornell alone took 15%.

But the instagram only has 250 posts that's less thana 1/3 of the graduating class. You think it's possible that the kids that got inot the better schools are more likely to link.
For example I know that a ton of kids go to stonybrook and binghamptom. Each of those schools typically get more stuy grads than cornell but the instagram shows more cornell students than stonybrook and binghamptom combined.

Point taken. But if you told me only 10% stuy goes to Ivies, that is still unbelievably low! For real?

10% sounds a little low but things have gotten more competitive so maybe it's possible.

Hence the "sounds like" you dolt... and yes, anywhere in NYC is crappy, it's a cesspool.

This site says 25% but that sounds high.

Is this source credible? If so, Stuy is amazing.

Harvard Westlak sends only 15% to ivies.
Lawrenville sends only 10% to Ivies.
Stuy sends 25% to Ivies.

Wow!
