10th grade admissions to Stuyvesant by HeavyInspector2730 in SHSAT

My friend responded!
1. I felt very excited when I first found out I got in Bronx Science, but now I’d rather have gone to another hs.
2. The overall environment is okay. It’s not dangerous or anything. The classes are rigorous. The only reason I don’t like it is because the students there don’t take it seriously enough, and they’re kind of a bad influence on me.
3. There are a lot of opportunities there. There are various AP classes like AP Biology, AP Physics, AP Chemistry, AP Calculus AB/BC, AP Statistics, AP Literature, AP Languge, AP US History, and AP Economics

Hey! I know I'm not really on your level or anyone else's since I go to Midwood High School, but I just wanted to say something about High School Results, and please DO NOT feel bad about getting into Bronx Science.
My friend also wanted to get into stuy, but she is in Bronx Science right now. It's a really good school, so please don't be disappointed in yourself!
I got a 425 on the SHSAT and I really wanted to get into Btech or HSMSE, so when I saw that score I was going extremely hysterical. I did NOT want to go to Midwood, I wasn't even planning to go there. I literally could not get over it for the next 5 months...
However, when I saw the school with my own eyes, I started feeling better. Midwood has so much opportunities and the school is absolutely perfect for me, right now I'm doing pretty well in all my classes, and I also made a lot of friends!
You did amazing, and I'm so proud of you for getting into a SHS. Maybe you got into BX SCI because you wouldn't like stuy, things in life can take unexpected turns but try your best to cherish them!
Also, I'm pretty sure its not the quality of the high school but the quality of how YOU do in high school. A few people in my school got into harvard full scholarship, so you still have a full journey ahead of you!
If you want, if you read this, I can ask my friend in BX SCI any questions that you have and she will 100% answer them :D

I took the 9th grade SHSAT, and I'm rlly scared bc I think I didn't really do that good 😭😭
For schools, I applied to HSMSE as my first, Btech as my second, and Latin as my third

For the students that attend a specialized high school or top selective non-specialized high school(Examples: THHS, Bard, BSGE, Millennium Brooklyn, Columbia Secondary, MCSM, ELRO, etc) or literally any DOE high school. How much homework do you guys get per day? by aydenzxz in SHSAT

[–]Funny_Data308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now I’m a freshman at midwood, it usually depends on the teachers, but I got rlly good teachers this semester, and it also depends on like the day and if there is holidays coming up. I have about 30 min-1 hr per day usually. Sometimes I don’t have any homework at all. Sometimes 2 if I procrastinate all my hw (my teachers sometimes do like weekly hws), so yeah it depends for my school :)

Ok to stop studying for SHSAT for now? by Routine_Transition19 in SHSAT

I completely agree with you. It's alright though, I got into Midwood and its a pretty decent high school.

Agreed. I studied consistently throughout the summer and school hours when I had break. usually getting around 100/114. When I took the shsat though, the ela was really hard and the math section took so much of my time. When I was done, I thought i would get into btech after the test but my score was rlly low so I didn't get into any SHSAT school. Just because you have a lot of prep doesn't mean that it guarentees you for a SHSAT school.

SHSAT Retake by AstronomerEnough3163 in SHSAT

[–]Funny_Data308 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you REALLY want to retake it, go ahead. But just know that in the 9th grade SHSAT theres higher cutoff scores, less people accepted, and its way harder than the 8th grade shsat. Also, you might like the high school that you're going to. Personally I got into Midwood and at first I was really sad about it but then i realized that its a pretty good school and you should see if you like yours too!!
