[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Their demographics are very different, with something like 50% of the kids being first gen, and nearly as many FARMS. I would be surprised if their college admissions results are substantially different than in the past. [/quote] This. I think it's business as usual over there. Stuy will always send a large number to schools like Cooper Union (which offers merit/tuition to every student), Baruch (part of the city system), and NYU with merit aid due to its student population. Not unusual for kids to pick those schools over MIT, Ivies, etc. A lot of those kids are not only extremely poor first-gen, they have to stay at home due to family obligations such as helping run the family business, plus the kids are often the only ones in the entire family that speak English.
