[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Typical Stuy kid is a poor Asian immigrant who spent two years non-stop studying for the SHSAT as it is their ticket out. Most of these kids have minimal mainstream American people skills - they have not assimilated. And some of them aren’t really that smart - just good at that one test.

Many end up at SUNY/CUNY. Many of these would be eligible for tons of aid at Ivies but for some reason don’t apply.

Bronx Science has more Nobel laureates and is a slightly more normal version of Stuy. Kids are more normal and slightly more relaxed. Though there is a contingent of the immigrant kids who are viewed as failures for not getting into Stuy.[/quote]

What’s your evidence that Stuy kids lack social skills? I’ve met plenty who are terrific talented kids.  I wouldn’t put much credence in the viewpoint from an Internet rando who traffics in Asian stereotypes.  [/quote]

No different than the Asian exceptionalist poster who thinks every Asian applicant is a multi-talented academic superstar destined for the T10 - but slips to state flagship - thereby raising the school's profile instantaneously.

Stereotype extremes, right?[/quote]

I’m not aware of that poster, but if you were my parent I would be ashamed that you were posting racist garage on the internet.  Be a better and smarter person.[/quote]
