[quote=Anonymous]The talented, low income AA and Latino kids in NYC are not attending the specialized publics, because they’re getting recruited by (and scholarships to) the city’s best privates and by boarding schools. The private schools’ desire for diversity is stronger than that of the publics, and they can pay for it. Given the choice, almost anyone will choose Collegiate over Stuyvesant. The talented Asian kids can only get into the top privates if they can pay for it and pass all the other “whole candidate” screening hurdles. Private school in NYC costs $52k+ per year, so the upper middle class on down Asian students only really have the special publics available to them. They get dinged in admissions here just like they do in colleges.[/quote]
