[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in NYC. My kid got the necessary score to go to Stuyvesant. We opted out. Total striver fest. It is big enough that this does not refer to everyone. It is very heavily Asian. But there are Asian kids there who are not strivers. But there are many who are. And some non-Asians who are. It seemed like a miserable place to go to school. My child is smart enough to succeed there. And there are plenty of kids who go there and end up as smart, well-rounded, kind, well-adjusted human beings. But too many don't. Not how we wanted them to spend four years. Bronx Science also had lots of strivers, but it did not permeate the culture in the same way. IYKYK (that means If You Know You Know - a good term to differentiate non-strivers from strivers).[/quote] Your description of Stuy is how I currently feel about Princeton.[/quote] Based on what experience? Hearsay and reputation or you actually have a kid or relative there?[/quote]
