[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right. He just got into Bronx science. Must be very stupid [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous] It’s not Trinity or Horace Mann, to say the least. [/quote]

A better comparison would be Stuy. I am the poster who said earlier that Mamdani is “top 3%” smart, not “top 1%” smart. He did well by entering Bronx science and Bowdoin but he missed on Columbia (and perhaps Stuy).

FWIW, there are plenty of “top 3%” or “top 20%” smart kids in both HM and Trinity. HM publishes a detailed breakdown of their GPA and SAT results. Top of the class stats are impressive but not everyone scores as high as the highest achievers. [/quote]

This is such a dumb convo but you apparently don’t appreciate NYC geography. Mamdani lived uptown by high school. Bronx science is where those kids want to go. Stuy is way further downtown. It’s not a matter of not getting into Stuy. In NY circles, one is not considered better than the other. [/quote]

Have you tried to get to Bronx Science from Morningside Heights? It takes about an hour by public transport.

Commute to Stuy is actually shorter (45 minutes).

Stuy absolutely has a stronger reputation than Bronx Science. [/quote]

Maybe if you live in Ohio and you know little of NY. In NY circles, it does not. [/quote]
