[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sty? lots of mit and caltech and totally miserable asian students there. they cannot wait to get to college, any college. [/quote]

it's Stuy, since you're so familiar with it. You can look at their instagram page. The kids do great, which isn't a big shock, although money is often a big consideration. Every major college visits the school - some make pretty crazy announcements. UChicago said their director of admissions personally handles the Stuy file and reads all the essays. [/quote]

Admissions is always 100% honest. Everything they tell you is gospel. LOL. They are professional bs artists. They tell every crowd what they want to hear.[/quote]

Agree.  College admissions are the worst con artists.  If they were publicly traded companies they should serve hard time at Club Fed for fraud. [/quote]

Do all schools get things like this every year?

JUNIOR FAMILIES;
Our colleagues at the University of Chicago are hosting a virtual event exclusively for Stuyvesant High School juniors and their families on Wednesday, May XX, at 7:00pm.  Juniors and parents/guardians who are registered on Naviance have received an emal with the registration link from Mr. Makris. If you did not receive it, you may contact xxxxxx@schools.nyc.gov or the college office for the link.

Hosted for Stuyvesant by Jim Nondorf, Dean of College Admissions and Financial Aid at the University of Chicago, we will discuss frequently asked questions about the highly selective admissions process, how students’ experiences might translate to their college applications, and also share some information about UChicago’s response to the pandemic.   Stuyvesant HS and UChicago alumnus David Axelrod will also be making a special appearance.

Before registering, please consider the following:[/quote]

How is this allowed in 2023?[/quote]

Aww, look at all the UMC white families suddenly crying about unfairness!

Stuy is a special school with special kids, many of whom are poor or working class, have long commutes on subways to get to school, work their butts off, don't have nannies or tutors or a SAH parent, and you're going to complain that colleges are falling over themselves to recruit them?[/quote]

NP.
I’ve work with lots of grads from stuy, by and large they all hated their four years of high school and loved college. So they weren’t totally broken down.

But as for PP’s attempt at a comment. Kids are competing for a seat within their sex, race and geography. So a white boy will not be in the same “pool” as an Asian girl when applying to the same program at the same college. They just won’t. [/quote]
