Duhhh. Stuy!

I admit, I don’t know much about Horace Mann. But Stuy has such a wide array of classes, extracurriculars, opportunities. It’s also right in downtown NY. And while Townsend Harris merely has a selective admissions process, you have to really ace a test to get into Stuyvesant.

Keep in mind though, that you will get out of Stuyvesant what you make of it. It will offer a lot of wondrous opportunities for you to really shine in your college apps, but you have to take the initiative. There ARE slackers in Stuy who only make it to the average CUNY. It’s not an instant ticket to an Ivy. The workload, from what I heard, is also terrible. Expect 5-6 hours of sleep your freshman year, and 2-3 your junior/senior year.
