[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stuy parent here.

I know of at least 10 kids going to Harvard. Ivies are nowhere near 40%, but solid. Not everyone posts to Instagram (senior caucus may be more reflective)

And local schools and/or full scholarships are often deciding factors. Sophie Davis more coveted than HYP.

Stuy kids get hit w racism (as seen here). It is what America is. But it also propels a thousand first gen kids into the professional class year after year - and that’s what America can do. [b]A New Yorker who lands in the hospital and hears the surgeon went to Stuy and Harvard - they care about the Stuy part. [/b]That’s all merit.

Some colleges don’t really want a school full of stuy kids. Some colleges are fine w it. I was on a Stuy college counseling zoom call where the guest was head of admissions at UChicago.  He said: “I read one territory. And that territory is Stuyvesant High School”[/quote]

My ex went to Stuyvesant and Cornelll undergrad and Harvard med. He always joked about how Stuyvesant was the impressive part.[/quote]
