Reply to Downtown Tailor Recommendations by QBFC_Sam

Alterations to Go is great. They've done a great job on some pretty minor alterations on pants I needed hemmed and tapered in addition to a full job tailoring a bridesmaids dress that was probably 2-3 sizes too big for me.

Honestly will keep it real , county prep is not a good school for college preparedness . You have to go out of your way for literally everything that revolves around college when that time comes around, or that’s at least how it was when I was there half decade ago. N most cp students are in the med science program , nothing about it is competitive cause it’s just high school classes but senior year you’ll get to take med sci courses with Rutgers i think which is cool and there’s a med sci club called hosa too where u do competitions n events

Not many kids go to ivy cause again the school sucks at college preparedness so I’d say really stay on top of that stuff man, you’ll have to do it on ur own, when it comes to APs, taking college courses during high school, etc. but other than lack of college preparedness, cp is a fun school, glad I went there i guess but really wish they helped kids more w college . If u go out of ur way a shit ton n grind out you’ll be good

Reply to Thoughts on the Prep High School selection process: by fffsp76

Well I just got in myself from Bayonne and I gotta say the admissions is wack. Many kids got into County Prep and HighTech who were failing and those were excelling got denied. So on and so forth. Both schools have quite a questionable admissions process. I wouldn't sweat it, both schools don't have the BEST reputation when it comes to admitting students.

I fully agree on your NY brewery recommendations. Just wish we had at least one local JC brewery at that same caliber. Also it saddens me how difficult it is to find Other Half on tap at many of the JC bars given they distribute here now. I have had my fingers crossed for years that Mindful Ales may eventually open a JC taproom :)

Did you tour County Prep? Have you been assigned a guidance counselor? If so reach out to them. If you have chosen your classes reach out to your teachers. Most teachers would be happy to answer any and all your questions.

And yes it is very competitive because they accept really smart and well rounded individuals.

My nephew was denied admission because he was misadvised at his grammar school concerning a math class.
