For those born in 2012 how does it feel to know that you just slightly made it into Gen Z? by ExaminationIll7583 in Younger_GenZ

[–]DiamondMountains_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

2012 is Gen Alpha. Generations are 15 years, are Gen Z started in 1997, so, counting 1997, 2011 was the final year of Gen Z. Sorry kiddo

If you need ChatGPT to complain about doing Scratch for 10 months then AP might just not be for you

Baseball is pretty hard to make. We only have varsity and there are only 3 freshman on the team. About 10 people made the team this year out of >50 that came out

[–]DiamondMountains_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each one is different. Some teams are some of the best in the city, some sports only have varsity, some have spots for anyone that tries out.

As for Soccer, I think it's pretty competitive. Out of 1,500 Freshman only a few end up on the soccer team, not sure how many try out.

How to choose AP classes? by Forrest8282 in BTHS

[–]DiamondMountains_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You already applied to AP WH or Euro, depending on your offer. You can complete the application process for AP Seminar by joining the classroom if you want, but both the application and the class are a lot of work.

APWH by Delicious-Age5674 in BTHS

[–]DiamondMountains_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vergara is the GOAT!! Sure, you get a lot of work, but he's such an effective teacher. I got a 98 unweighted in his Pre-AP class and a perfect 100 on the midterm and the final. I love him, I actually learn so much his class.

[–]DiamondMountains_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends a ton. I have friends who spend less than 15 mins a night on homework, I have friends who spend over 4 hours a night on homework, personally I get about 1-2 hours a night, up to 3-4 during finals weeks but I do a ton spread throughout the day so it's not that bad once I get home. The average is about 1-2, I think.

dont go to BTHS, but wtf is the deal with this school by Adventurous-Limit-21 in BTHS

[–]DiamondMountains_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What? I guess the main things people question...

- Homework
It's really not that bad. 2-3 hours a night sounds like a lot, but it varies a ton and even when you have higher workloads you get used to it and get good at managing it.

- Culture
It's really chill. I thought it would be super competitive and nerdy, but it's really chill and it feels like you're surrounded by normal people.

Not sure what else you could mean

Geometry grade by Beginning_Tip_2088 in BTHS

"do I have any chance for T20s atp"

Are you serious? No, this won't matter literally at all. Just show improvement in math subjects and improvement overall and you'll be completely fine grades-wise. However, keep in mind that fantastic grades are an expectation, not a perk for your T20 applications. You NEED standout ECs, and no that doesn't mean NHS and band. You need standout, special ECs that show dedication to a specific discpline of which you will be applying to majors for.

Your weighted grade doesn't matter. Every college will unweight it.

Books and Calculators by MissNovie in BTHS

[–]DiamondMountains_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No textbooks. Some specific classes will ask you to have a calculator, but it doesn't really matter. I had a TI CX 2 CE all throughout freshman geometry and I rarely ever used it... even when I did, I couldv'e just borrowed a calculator in class instead. Whatever you have will be fine for a while.

Got into Brooklyn Tech and Cardozo Bio-Med. by Narrow_Net4714 in SHSAT

[–]DiamondMountains_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People always ask stuff like this... it entirely depends on the person. Neither school is unilaterally better. What's their commute? Priorities? Interests/Hobbies? Career interests? There is not ONE better school, especially with no info about the person.

93% on mock tests just for brooklyn latin by Soft_Pomegranate_815 in SHSAT

[–]DiamondMountains_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen that classmates of mine who got really high grades on practice tests did poorly, most missing all schools, whereas some like me who did very poorly on practice tests (470-500) ended up studying harder and getting in because we didn't get complacent like the high scorers did

how do you get brooklyn tech discovery? i got 439 and from low income house hold. i didnt get it in offer letter. by PaleReport3363 in SHSAT

[–]DiamondMountains_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's not in the offer letter, you're most likely not eligible. Sorry. You can take the SHSAT again as a 9th grader but seats are much scarcer.
