[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m really impressed with Stuy’s college admissions. The major difference between the students at Stuy and a school line Sidwell is that the Sidwell kids are almost all hooked. Sidwell students are legacy and parents have likely donated $. Stuy kids are not hooked, not legacy and has a very large first gen and FARMs population. Not only are they not rich, they are poor, like they have to help support their families poor.[/quote]

Come on, being First gen and low income IS hooked. It's a different kind of hook.[/quote]

There are many UMC kids at Stuy as well, including those who are legacies at top colleges. Elon Musk's niece was at Bronx Science last year and went to MIT. The school has 800 kids in each grade and there are several parents who spend more than 50k on college counseling. The school has several kids who apply through Questbridge. It truly is a mix. Many kids who attend Stuy and other specialized schools prep in Flushing chinatown and Manhattan Chinatown and prep centers. LMC Asian families use all these prep services to get into these schools.
