Features: In New York's Manhattan, there is a Stuyvesant High School, which is the most famous in the United States. It is filled with "ethnic elites" who can only get in through strict exams. Two Westinghouse Science Talent Search winners are from there, and 16% of the finalists in the U.S. come from the school. However, Stuyvesant is not an easy place to get through. Having an IQ of 140 is normal, and doing homework until 1 or 2 a.m. is also common.
