this is from the portal. I'm not sure if you need to sign in (which you couldn't) ,but hopefully you can see it.

two things: racism in admissions is super real. "just another stuy robot" etc etc. it's bullshit.  white kids like mine have an easier time.

and: I think it may be hard for DCUM to understand the poverty. many of these kids and their families really struggle. sending a kid far away is not everyone's first choice, esp when the kid is a cultural support.

for example, I dont know that I've ever seen the words "Sophie Davis" here on DCUM, but admissions into Sophie Davis garners far more oohs and ahhs than Harvard. Ditto Macaulay Honors.

also, it's a big class and a big world and stuy reflects it all .. which is awesome. I really love Stuy (and Tech and Bronx Sci etc) and think there are few institutions that catapult kids from poverty to professional class like these schools.  my accountant is a stuy grad. my OB is one.  the woman who did my will is one.  etc etc.  All of them landed in the public school system as new arrivals like so many kids are right now. The system isn't perfect, but these schools are jewels.

Most state's magnet schools are the same. It's just VA and SF with these massive magnet schools that aren't filled with poor people. [/quote]
