[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thoughts on PS6 vs. Allen Stevenson? [/quote]

PS6. At least if you go to PS6 no one will rightfully assume you couldn’t get into Buckley St B St D and a bunch of other schools. Take the tuition and invest it in a custodial at that point. [/quote]

Is that really the view on AS?? I actually preferred it to Buckley and St B, both of which came across as too intense and not very diverse. AS felt more welcoming and warmer[/quote]

AS is known to be quirkier. More accommodating to kids who have learning differences. A warm and diverse community. I have never looked at AS kids or families as "well you ended up there because you didn't get into..." There are MANY schools that would fall into that category for me-- ones who run second admissions processes after decision day and accept kids without meeting them after a parent tour and a check. AS isn't that by a long shot.

PS6 is free and gets pretty great reviews. Unless money is no object you could always start there and if you're unhappy apply to AS off cycle. But if money isn't part of the equation and you love AS, don't let anyone make you feel bad about it![/quote]

That’s what I mean, though. The other boys schools, let alone TT coeds, would counsel out a lot of AS students. It’s not as rigorous. And you can have plenty of learning disabled classmates at PS6 if that’s what you want.

Sure. But the poster doesn't seem to want an intense school. Is that not a valid desire?[/quote]

They asked AS v PS6. If you want to kick back and smoke a blunt then take it easy at public school. [/quote]

I mean I said the same. Try public unless money is no object. Though I wouldn't go so far as to say PS6 is a [i]take it easy[/i] place hahaha.

Hard to keep track of anonymous posters. There’s a couple hard core AS boosters here. It’s just not at the level of the other boys schools minus Browning. [/quote]
