- New York City Is there any proof of life after death? Anyone here ever experience anything like a near death experience or were declared dead & came back?
- No but I believe the stories sometimes. Others, I think our brains work to take pain away at the end.
- I almost died with dc. I just was fading away and did not care
- that happens when you pass out too
- It was blood loss so I guess similar to passing out
- Omg! So glad you’re ok & hope your DC is too!
- that happens when you pass out too
- i had an out of body experience and I know that there is more to this physical life. our bodies die but our spirits don't
- Wow what happened?
- too much to write here, but let's just say when I realized I was back in my body, I was bummed and wanted to be 'there" again. I felt free and and I felt like, this is the truth...(more)
- Wow what happened?
- I think it's all just synapses and crazy brain shit. There is no afterlife
- wrong
- Says who? You? Lol. Brains are funky. There is no afterlife. It's just fairy tales to make people feel better
- i know my experiences and those of others
- Antecdata isn't fact
- I know my experience and you can't change that
- you died?
- Antecdata isn't fact
- i know my experiences and those of others
- Says who? You? Lol. Brains are funky. There is no afterlife. It's just fairy tales to make people feel better
- wrong
- My mom told me how she'd visit me and it happened just like she said
- Read some books - death is but a dream is one.
- New York City Can you receive unemployment in nyc if you quit your job due to severe work related stress?
- Ummm
- No it maybe workman comp? Are you being harassed?
- Stress is not an injury sustained on the job
- But if it makes your depressed that would be disability
- That’s not workers comp
- Omg. Grow up. Find another job if it is making you that miserable
- Shut up bitch.
- But if it makes your depressed that would be disability
- No not harassment but several co workers have resigned and they’re dumping lots stuff on me that I’m not supposed to be doing
- So put on your big girl pants, and make an appointment to speak with your boss.
- FYI, done this several times already & have gotten nowhere.
- So find another job
- Trying to buy hasn’t been easy so far
- So put on your big girl pants, and make an appointment to speak with your boss.
- Stress is not an injury sustained on the job
- No
- No
- Just let them fire you for not doing 3 jobs for the pay of 1
- New York City Hamilton College, Williams, or Colgate for Liberal Arts?...(more)
- Much more difficult.
- Ok thanks
- it's definitely a tier above. basically as tough to get into as an Ivy
- tougher.
- Stop with this. It's like Tufts mom and that one the other day. HYP is still HYP.
- tougher.
- williams is hardest to get into. they are all really good for liberal arts.
- Not Colgate
- Williams is by far the best in terms of reputation; but also much harder to get into. Hamilton is next in terms of both reputation and difficulty, although Colgate had a 100%...(more)
- Williams def harder to get in, unless really outstanding athlete. The other two are on my dc's list, so please don't apply there, lol
- Loved Hamilton so much. Williams harder to get into. A kid that wants Williams or Hamilton probably won't like Colgate. We toured Colgate/Hamilton same time and DC thought they...(more)
- What's the difference between Colgate and Hamilton? They seemed interchangeable to me, but I didn't look into it that much.
- Colgate is bigger and more going on. More rah rah, more parties.
- Both are beautiful schools. It's a fit. Colgate seemed more 'Friday Night Lights' and Hamilton warmer/friendlier.
- smaller and absolutely in the middle of nowhere, Colgate has a small town.
- Hamilton has "open curriculum" -- almost no course requirements.
- What's the difference between Colgate and Hamilton? They seemed interchangeable to me, but I didn't look into it that much.
- You left a lot off the list. What about Bowdoin, Middlebury, Colby, Vassar, Wesleyan, Bates.
- Amherst, Swarthmore, Haverford
- Lafayette, ConnColl, Middlebury, Bowdoin
- Wellesley Smith Barnard
- and Holyoke. But these won't work for a boy...
- Amherst, Swarthmore, Haverford
- Williams is super networked cliquey. Like getting into West Point. Need to know a senator
- ^And a cardinal. High rank political network machine
- Much more difficult.

- 4. This is what we did. NYC isn't all that. We go there often anyway without the hassle and expense of living there. Best quality of life with #4 IMO
- we did #1
- You felt that paying for private school was worth it? It's taking up a huge chunk of our income 😩
- number 1 plus that allows us to travel a lot (but we travel to africa and other not as expensive places)
- You still had money for travel after paying the private school tuition?
- If my kids don’t have SN or a need for a specific type of learning environment, I’d choose burbs.
- Even with that. My burb has Windward trained teachers and my dd did amazing once we moved from the city.
- Wow. What burb? I have a child with possibly similar needs.
- Pleasantville but it is more MC than most YBM wants
- NP -- I like pleasantville a lot. And I live in NYC. Several good restaurants. Best movie theater in Westchester. Nice community.
- I grew up in NYC and I am glad we chose it now that my kids are older. They are out all the time without needing a ride!
- What is MC?
- Middle Class. There are no 4 million dollar homes.
- I have no idea what that even means 😂
- You have no idea what middle class means? I am sorry but I do not understand. Most of Westchester is wealthy and Pleasantville is middle class.

- Prepandemic, I would say 1, post 4 but it also depends on jobs and need to commute.
- If your child has special needs, go to the best public school you can for the services.
- What is the OK public school? And is that your only option? Could your dcs possibly get into a great public HS in NYC?
- Sounds like you already know what you want to do and are trying to convince your husband to move to the burbs.
- I'm honestly torn. The burbs would be a big change.
- We have 3 kids, moved to Bronxville, super convenient, yes high taxes but far cheaper than private school. Easy walk to station and school for the kids.
- I'm honestly torn. The burbs would be a big change.
- We did 4. But to consider #1 I would need to know how small your nyc apt is and how much money you would have left over to do other stuff like travel and save for...(more)
- Re 1, were able to save for retirement and college. We have enough for some travel but modest.
- is the apartment a 2 bedroom in a nice part of Manhattan?
- No. A three bedroom in Brooklyn. A "nice" neighborhood but still plenty of homeless around. And crime.
- It's tough but I would carefully consider #4 and pick the right town for you.

- I chose 4 and I love it. Life is easier and I am so happy to have my deck/yard.
- What town?
- I live in Pleasantville because i have two kids with sns and the services are amazing. We are not rich though. I was choosing publically funded private school and the burbs.
- Thank you so much for sharing. Pleasantville, Ardsley, and Pelham are the towns were considering. For a kid who fits the Churchill/Gaynor profile.
- We looked at Ardsley but I grew up in NYC and I wanted walkable. My kids walk to school, sports, theater, pizza, starbucks, etc. We are happy.
- That's great. Do you feel like it's progressive? What's the vibe re republicans, guns, etc.?
- There are some republicans but it is a minority. The school is way over 90% vaccinated. Almost everyone is liberal
- That's great. Do you feel like it's progressive? What's the vibe re republicans, guns, etc.?
- Of those, Pelham is the best commute, followed by Ardsley.
- Is Pelham liberal/progressive?
- I know a lot of families there and I would say all viewpoints are represented
- Definitely more conservative than other Westchester areas but most of Westchester is pretty liberal.
- A lot of Westchester is conservative. Many towns that people discuss here are liberal/moderate or mixed, but there are so many towns that are very conservative and old-fashioned.
- Definitely more conservative than other Westchester areas but most of Westchester is pretty liberal.

- You might want to consider Edgemont near downtown Scarsdale or near Central park ave if you want walkability. A lot of people seem to appreciate SN support offered, and the HS is...(more)

- where did you and DH grow up? If you are both from NYC, I would do 1. If you are from a more suburban area so have some idea what you are getting into, 4. But someplace with a...(more)
- 4.
- We did #3, moved to nearby burb with great school. I thought I'd hate it but it has been wonderful for our family!
- Ok but that's actually 4 😂. What burb?
- that is #4
- Sorry, meant 4 then. We moved to Bronxville.
- We did 1- which was the right decision for us, but for a family now I would say 4
- 4
- Actually 4 but just a regular house. I don’t need a gorgeous home.
- I'm the Bronxville poster above. We don't have a "gorgeous" house, but it works fine for our family and living here made life easier.
- Actually 4 but just a regular house. I don’t need a gorgeous home.
- We do 1 but you don't sound like us. Apartment is nice enough. It's a three bedroom in Manhattan though we would definitely live in bigger place if not for private school. If...(more)
- We live in a 3BR too (OP here). I don’t need anything extravagant but it would be nice to have a spare bedroom, a home office, and some outdoor space. We bought our place 15 years...(more)

- Oh I know a lot of people who don’t like the culture at Trinity
- not like enough to not apply? cause i know MANY ppl who wouldnt even apply to HM.
- Yes. I know many families who passed up applying to Trinity from the tour. Hm too. My kids went to a very progressive k to 8 school. We all applied out
- not like enough to not apply? cause i know MANY ppl who wouldnt even apply to HM.
- Because board members kids go there and legacies.
- Oh I know a lot of people who don’t like the culture at Trinity
- Because its more better
- here. i'll do it on toddler to show you.
- I don't think it is academically superior at all, people prefer it because it is in Manhattan. Also HM is viewed as cutthroat with too many Jewish and Asian students.
- Agree with this. It has a slight edge in preference because of location.
- New York City This post has been deleted.
- I don't think that's as agreed upon as you suggest
- what was her OP?
- she asked why people agree that Trinity is superior academically to HM
- aaah.
- she asked why people agree that Trinity is superior academically to HM
- what was her OP?
- HM is way better than Trinity
- Looks like you provided the answer to your own question.

- No that’s not unreasonable at all
- No, you are not unreasonable. For whatever reason it did not work for you and that is ok.
- Thank you
- She is out of line.
- people do not get to stay with you becasue they ask. i dont like people staying with me either
- You did nothing wrong. Friend sounds like the unreasonable one
- especially with the dd's friend. really over the top.
- you did nothing wrong, but she will probably not like you as much anymore.
- totally reasonable, you did not invite her + NYC no one should assume they can stay in someone's apartment there usually isn't room
- If she’s still sulking there is nothing you can do except ignore and poss lay off the friendship for a bit

- New York City Once you disregard sports recruits, etc. is ED that much of an advantage at a smaller school? Is there any data on this?
- Common data set for each school will list the number of students who applied and were accepted via early decision
- The more of the class the school fills ED, the more the advantage. They aren’t all athletes, and the ED pool is usually a fraction of the size of the RD pool.
- Exactly, because the ED pool is a fraction of RD pool, and most athletes go ED, what’s the huge advantage to a regular kid to go ED?
- ED is required for legacies as well so that is the other large pool of kids applying ED.
- Exactly, because the ED pool is a fraction of RD pool, and most athletes go ED, what’s the huge advantage to a regular kid to go ED?
- SLACs fill 50 percent of the class ED. for Nescacs, that is about 250 kids and athletic recruits are 2 per sport, plus 14 for football. So maybe 75 athletic recruits in the...(more)
- The numbers don’t add up for a school with a large % of athletes, like Williams.
- Those are the recruited slots allowed. You an look that up. They don’t receive admission preferences.
- NP: There are way more than 2 slots for a lot of sports. You would not even come close to filing a soccer roster with 2 spots per year.
- My kid is an athlete at a SLAC. Those are the recruited numbers. The rest are smart athletes who get in without preference
- Is your kid at NESCAC? It may be sport dependent but for the ones I am familiar with they have way more recruits than 2 a year. It is very hard to walk on actually.
- NESCAC, yes’
- They aren’t recruits. They are athletes who got in. There are some interesting g threads about this on college confidential.
- They do not give scholarships since it is D3 but the coaches absolutely get in more than 2 per year, the ones the college cares about anyway. They do have to pass the academic...(more)

- They may have reached out to coaches but coaches only get a very

- Those are still very high recruited numbers. My point is, after recruited athletes, legacy etc there’s not much room left for ED

- New York City Can anyone recommend a psychiatrist in nyc for teen axiety who takes Cigna? Long shot i know.
- is the teen in therapy? if not I'd start there. If teen is in counseling, ask counselor for prescriber recs.
- yes, in therapy, therapist receommends meds but cant recemmend prescriber. Peditrician wont prescribe, says we need a psych. None of their referrals take our insurance
- also the therapist seems inexperienced so I want a second opinion who is a Dr. Therapist didnt seem to understand protocol according to ped.
