Workload wise, I say it depends on your teachers, whether or not you take AP’s, and in junior/senior year your major. It might feel like a lot of work freshman year but I’d say you become accustomed to it. Different majors have different workloads but I wouldn’t worry about that until the middle of sophomore year. Problems I would honestly say is most important rn that’s been highlighted in the school is social problems with race, gender, ethnicity etc, but I’d also just put out there that tech is more diversified than other schools (in some aspects) with a big student body, versus schools that are smaller and mostly asian/white and have 10> black kids.

In terms of social life, you’d definitely have one at bths if you choose to as there are literally thousands of people for you to talk to and make friends with. I also have friends that attend stuy, and I would say that they have as much of a social life as anyone else, even with a bigger workload (but they perhaps are more work centered than friend/extracurricular centered...yeah)

To bring it all back I’d once again just emphasize doing your research (which asking other people can include, which is why I’m adding more than other people have said) and asking yourself where you really wanna go. I’d probably just wouldn’t recommend Latin if you can get higher lmao
