<p>I was accepted to both Stuyvesant and Townsend Harris but, if not given a seat in boarding school, I chose Townsend Harris because of it's beautiful campus and the opportunity to have over 12 college credits upon completion. Stuyvesant is a great school to, but I don't believe in taking a mere test to determine entry into a school. I literally saw kids in my test room cheating off each other's papers.</p>
