I’ve spent quite a bit of time searching around for private schools and it seems like there aren’t many that appeal to me. Looking at the STEM, especially the more quantitative side of that, most of them seem to be lacking, or at best on par with my county’s magnet school. Note that I’m also Chinese and definitely an Olympiad kid (I study like 4-6 hours a day for them all year). It looks like that I’m the target audience for PRISMS and, from scraping every last word off the internet about it, I like it quite a bit, though the scarcity of information has me asking for more. The MIT admission rate also is super high which is definitely a plus for me. Is there anyone here that goes there or is familiar with it? Do you guys have any other recommendations for heavy STEM highschools?
I meant that I’m Chinese ethnically. I heard about most of those schools you suggested, but since I live in NJ, I feel like PRISMS can offer me better in STEM (the Olympiad winner rates and MIT admission rates are definitely the best) than most of the others while being roughly the same price and far closer to home. I was mainly looking for information on PRISMS itself but thanks for helping anyways.
MIT has a pretty well-established tendency to admit Math Olympians.
In terms of PRISMS, I don’t know anything about the school, but, based on what I’ve heard, if I were thinking of attending, I would look very carefully at the percentage of students who enroll shortly after relocating to the US and their outcomes, versus the percentage of students who grew up in the US and their outcomes.
Sorry for not understanding, but what significance does the outcome of the international students have in my decision of whether or not to go as a domestic one? Should I only look at the domestic ones, which I have been doing?
