[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We turned down one of the top 3 SHSAT schools for a 2T private and know multiple other families that did the same. We only applied to one TT and didn't go through the required butt kissing to get in (we knew families who could have helped but decided it wasn't the right place for our child).

Our child and the other similar ones are top of their classes at the 2Ts and a lot less stressed than if at a TT or SHSAT. Top kids from their schools do just as well as kids from the other schools.

Everyone runs their own raise and makes their own decisions.[/quote]

my sense is that SHSAT schools are pretty stressful.

what are some 2T schools - is this the Trevor/CGPS/Nightingale type of school?   what others?[/quote]

Stuy isn’t really stressful if your child is competitive and is the top of the class since elementary. If anything they live for the challenge. It is only stressful if you try to turn them into something they are not or expect them to turn it on when they arrive at HS. [/quote]

This is not true. Have a friend who attended who is still scared from her experience. Very intense and competitive. She did go to Wellesley, so maybe she would have benefited from a smaller, more holistic school. [/quote]
