This one is interesting to me.  Some Ivy + reaches but a bunch to NYU and lot of meh IMO.  Reads to me like HW's counseling office runs a tight ship and clearly directs kids to ED to targets. [/quote]

I don't get it why NYU is so hot for Californians.  99k for a city college.  [/quote]

Because our kids want to experience going away to school in a different part of the country in a different climate. Then you add in top school for business or the arts and NYU shoots to the top. [/quote]

These HW kids (if you look at the instagram page) are not studying business or arts (Stern or Tisch).  
Global studies, public policy, and there are "individualized major"-whatever that means.  
Tourists in the city for 4 years.[/quote]

I do t get it. Why is that wrong?

DC is hoping to spend 4 years in one of many new-to-them locations in order to experience life in a different part of the country.

You may call that tourism. I call it stretching out and seeking new experiences in a way that’s interesting to them.

Other kids may choose to stay closer to home instead. That’s great, too. They’ll find their own new experiences there.

But staying closer to what’s familiar doesn’t make them any more “authentic” or “non-tourist” than a kid who chooses to go to school in a new city, including NYC.  [/quote]
