[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Re: AS - I have a kid at a similarly thought of school. People look down on it. But I have friends at all the TT schools and we compare notes all the time. The curriculum is identical. Yes, the school has more neurodiverse kids but a lot of them are very smart. And guess where else has a lot of neurodiverse kids? Trinity! When you take all siblings and a good share of legacies, you get a lot of neurodiversity because you don’t get to choose what the siblings are like. AS seems like a lovely place and even in the non-TT private schools, all of the kids get tons of individualized attention that you won’t get at PS6. Re exmissions, if you got to St. Bernard’s you would be in a pool with a lot of legacies. So even a very strong kid can get passed over. If he’s in the top 10% at AS, he might actually have a better chance at top high schools. I have worked in admissions consulting and seen this play out. It’s like trying to get into Princeton from Trinity — once they take all the legacies they are done with the school unless they you are a URM. [/quote]

Helpful comment!

Can you speak more about the neurodiversity at Trinity?

I didn’t realize St Bernard’s legacy at the high school level would hold so much weight but makes sense. [/quote]
