Not really. We've got a really, really good drama program (they win some really fancy award almost every year), and we have a good humanities program. And an extremely disproportionate number of math/sci kids.Comment

Next time I will need smileys for the sarcasm.
Having gone to the same type of HS, I am well aware that while most people in them are math and science oriented, many aren't (like myself).If you don't like reality, change it! me

The real significance
is that for most of the college applications, the question:
How do you intend to pay for your education?
had the answer: Daddy.
Hence, the high acceptance rate at private universities.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

You forget
that at Kuci's High School, all the kids have homes with multiple bathrooms to call their own.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Believe me
I know. I came from one just like it. In fact, that question was question number 7 from the application for the University of Southern California when I was a senior in High School.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

I agree . In India , we use books in schools ( for the last two years ) which are used as textbooks for first-year college courses in the USA ( or for AP classes ) .Originally posted by GePap
To me that is prime evidence that secondary education in the uS could be a lot tougher.

I kid because I care
However, if you think that legacies and donor $$ make no difference, you are naive.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
