您抛出了很好的问题，这就是为什么申请美高的学生我们强烈建议要进行校园参观和面试，美高在孩子的整个求学生涯中发挥着非常重要的作用，一定要找到跟孩子right fit的学校，适合的才是最好的。 关于学生对学校的感受，不同的孩子的感受是不一样的，因为他们对学校的需求也是不一样的，所以没法儿武断地决定，所以最好的方式还是孩子在做了校园参观和面试以后，对学校的了解会很直观，同时学校的校园文化和氛围等等的感受是最直观的。 关于Stony Brook，我也多次参访该校，并且学生的总体反馈还是不错的，学校的创新中心是学校的一大亮点，我在去年12月参访该校的时候，跟创新中心的主任深入聊了很长的时间，学校的机器人和STEM还是非常强的；此外在体育方面，学校的帆船也是非常强的，再者就是依托纽约市的资源等等，都是学校的核心优势和特色。 此外，美高没有权威的排名，每个学校的特色还是很鲜明的，所以一定要结合孩子本身的特质和优势，来匹配，毕竟美高在孩子整个本科规划中的作用是非常巨大的，也是孩子在高中期间不断了解自己的过程，还有下一步就是孩子本科的专业赛道的确定，高中的课程设置及其课外活动，包括高年级的signature programs等等，是否都能为孩子的本科申请赋能，这些都是应该跟你的签约顾问好好沟通的，毕竟美高不是割裂的，所以咱了解学校的过程中，还是那句话“专业的人做专业的事儿”，顾问老师对于院校的了解及其那么多年的申请录取案例都是很好的参照，可以针对您家孩子的情况做纵向和横向的比对，这样就不难得出答案了，总之，大的原则还是“适合的才是最好的”，希望以上解答能够对你有所帮助，祝顺利！

It is important to do independent research on each school and consider the best-fit scenario for your child considering your major factors. Deciphering opinions on school search sites will result in a variety of answers. As it relates to Math courses, Mr. Rao could not be more wrong. Only Phillips Exeter Academy has a few higher math offerings. We offer higher than Andover, and easily more than all other NE boarding schools and every private prep school in the NYC area. We currently have 60+ students now beyond AP Calculus BC. We offer College-Level Multivariable Calculus and College-Level Linear Algebra (both of which are accredited through SBU'S ACE program for dual enrollment). We also offer Advanced Mathematical Logic and, Advanced Topics in Mathematics. We have increasingly seen students specifically choose to come to SBS for our math curriculum, as we are confident in saying our math course offerings are currently among the best in the country. Advanced Topics in Mathematics originated due to students completing our math sequence, especially possible now due to summer courses through our Gravitas program. The course is co-taught by our Math Department Chair, who is also now an adjunct professor at SBU at their math chair's request, and a new faculty member who holds a PhD in rocket science and has taught mathematics and physics at the college level for many years. The course is designed to be flexible to student research and interests. As a capstone project, students will do a research project and defend their research in a "thesis defense" style forum in May, alongside our Advanced Scientific Research students (a similar new course to facilitate research in science - we have had multiple students with internships at Brookhaven National Labs and Cold Spring Harbor Labs over the past several years and this course is designed to support that initiative) and Advanced Engineering, Innovation, and Design students from the STEM department. Our students are performing at a higher level than most college juniors and seniors our teachers have taught at the university level. Here is the course description: N.170/ Advanced Topics in Mathematics Prerequisite: Linear Algebra or Multivariable Calculus and instructor’s recommendation . This course is a rigorous, college-level math course for high-achieving students of mathematics. Topics such as combinatorics, probability, real analysis, complex analysis, advanced calculus and number theory will be covered to expose students to a variety of advanced subjects.
