[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no discernible difference. Truly. You are comparing Gala to Honey Crisp to Granny Smith to Fuji. It is the same population. Apply to both and if you get in to both, pick BVR if you want NCS/STA and NPS if you don’t. Don’t struggle so. [/quote]

So, this response cracks me up because honey crisp and Granny Smith taste nothing alike. [/quote]

Narcissism of small differences.[/quote]

You're calling me a narcissist because I can taste a significant difference between a Honeycrisp and a Granny Smith?  I'm guessing you don't eat a ton of apples.  [/quote]

Google the phrase—it’s a concept. It’s about how people get very hung up on small differences between two things that are largely similar. Yes, the apples taste different, but they taste a lot more similar than, say, charcoal briquettes and marzipan. Likewise, the schools are very similar.[/quote]

It's a $40K decision.  It's not narcissistic or "hung up" for OP to want to be as informed as possible before making it.  People post threads here asking people to comment on minor differences between dresses or shoes that are pretty similar.  I've posted in threads where people ask questions about recipes that are more similar than different.  Because when you're investing time or money in something you want to get the decision right.

OP, I have no experience in either school.  I opened this thread out of curiosity.  [/quote]
