[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which does he prefer? My DS really liked Packer but was not so into Fieldston. He was waitlisted at both and ended up at a different field school where's he pretty happy. He likes the campus setting. [/quote]

He likes both, may be Fieldston a bit more than Packer. He is into Math and Technology, and we hear Fieldston is more into Humanities. [/quote]

Just to be clear---he's accepted at both and making a decision? Or you're thinking ahead for next year?[/quote]

Accepted to Packer and WL on Fieldston.[/quote]

Ah---so this may be a hypothetical choice. The waitlists do move, so when he does his Packer revisit he should ask a lot of questions about the STEM curriculum so he can make an informed choice if need be.[/quote]

It is. Seems there are STEM options in Packer. Most discussions on Fieldston on the forum talk highly of the school, but we didn't see a comparison with Packer. College acceptances also appear to be very similar for the two schools.[/quote]

They're both great schools. You may not see that many comparisons because of their relative locations, with downtown and Brooklyn families possibly ruling out the field schools. We're on the UWS, so looking at both made sense. The subway commute was about the same.[/quote]
