I live not too far from the Hunter College School, a free K-through-12 prep school run by Hunter College (part of the CUNY system)—one of the top schools in NY. So many apply that they throw out all but the top 1% test scores and then start interviewing. Some times I see a class trooping off towards Central Park for sports — more than 90% Asian.
Holy Cow I can’t believe you actually do have an account here.
