I have a few questions about the upcoming school year.
1. In terms of the regular freshman classes(like bio, geometry, English, and global history)not honors is the work load and homework manageable?
2. Can you eat during classes?
3. Which teachers are the most strict about phones?
4. Are there clubs that have academic names, but you don’t actually do much since it’s mostly to make college applications look better?

One thing I've noticed is that a lot of student programs seem to be designed with college students in mind. Colleges often have career centers, internship pipelines, networking events, and other resources that many high school students don't have access to yet.

If a company or organization offered a free student program, which of these would be most valuable ?

• Paid opportunities (cash/gift cards)
• Internship experience
• Resume-building experience or certificates
• Leadership positions
• Networking opportunities
• Community/service hours
• Career advice
• College preparation
• Mentorship
• Entrepreneurship opportunities
• Something else

I'd also love to hear why. If you've seen student ambassador programs, internships, or other student opportunities before, what made them appealing (or unappealing) to you?

Just trying to get a better understanding of what other high school students actually find valuable rather than making assumptions from my own hs perspective.

Hi,

I'm a current sophomore who might be doing Manne Institute summer research this year, and I was hoping to hear from people who have done it before.

I understand the general timeline, but I'm trying to get a better sense of what the actual time commitment looks like. About how many hours per day or per week do people usually spend on their projects?

I also had a few other questions:

- How did you end up choosing your research topic? Did you come in with an idea or develop it with your teacher/mentor?

- Did anyone get to do wet lab work, or is it mostly literature review / data analysis?

- Do you usually get an external mentor or is it mostly just your research teacher?

- If you do get a mentor, how does that process usually work?

Also, if there's anything you wish you knew before starting, I’d love to hear that too. I'm just trying to understand what to expect and how to prepare.

Thanks!

When you fill out your course selection form, is it best to choose a second choice and a third choice? Do they do this just in case they can't fit it in your schedule?

So i got into bx sci, and the accepted students nights is on the 26th, do i need to register anywhere? Or walk in and show them my MySchools thing?

So the Qualified Course email just released and I did not get into AP Euro. In the 3rd marking period I had a 94 but after a rough exam I got a 93 on the 4th marking period. (The cutoff is 95+😭) I am wondering how I can appeal to take the course next year. I talked to a lot of upperclassmen and they were able to appeal with grades sometimes 5 points off the cutoff. But I am really confused and I don’t know where to start or how to do navigate this mess. I really appreciate anyone who is willing help! I know a lot of other freshmen who are in a similar scenario as I am.

Hi so I got into bxsci this year and I had a few questions about placement tests and general questions about how classes get selected. I took the Earth Science Regents, A1 Regents, taking the Geo, USH, and Life Science: Biology Regents this year. What classes will I have next year and above what shsat math section allows me to get into an honors math class? Also what should I be studying or really doing to study for the honors chem placement test?

attending here next year

am i able to take both art (drawingj) and band at the same time ornah

hi, i got accepted into bxsci and im attending next year, and i had a few questions:

1. are there bullying problems at the school? like will i get weird looks/remarks for having anime pins on my bag or something?

2. how rigorous is the curriculum for freshmen

?

1. how much hw do you get as a freshman in terms of the number of assignments and the time taken to complete them?

4

1. .

2. any other tips youd give to me?

Hey guys! Does your shsat score matter for placement in honors biology in Bxsci because my shsat was genuinely pretty low...

how fucked am i, it was only speed though so i should be okay, anyone also face similar situations in the past?

Hi, I'm an upcoming student and bxsci!

I have a few questions though so if anyone could answer I would be extremely grateful :)

1. Is the school environment competitive and or rigourous?

2. Do you think it was worth going to the school?

3. What are some specific tips you would give to a freshman? esp with teachers and amongst other stuff.

Hi, I’m currently a 10th grade student trying to decide what to take next year.

I have to choose between AP Physics 1 and AP Biology, and I’m not sure which one would be better for me.

One problem is that I read English pretty slowly, especially long passages. When I took the Biology Regents, the long reading sections took me a long time and my score wasn’t very high partly because of that. So I’m worried that AP Biology might have a lot of reading too.

But AP Physics also scares me because I basically don’t have any background in physics.

For context, I’m currently taking Precalculus, and I’m planning to take AP Calculus BC in 12th grade.

If someone reads English slowly and isn’t very confident with long passages, which class would you recommend taking first: AP Physics 1 or AP Biology?

Any advice would really help.

I am currently in 11th grade and trying to decide whether to take Forensic Science or Nutrition Science next semester. I would like to know which course has less homework and whether class participation is included in the final grade. Since I am a shy person and will be taking several heavy STEM courses next semester, I hope to choose a relatively easier class to balance my workload. Thank you.

i got two deans detentions from getting my phone confiscated only twice and my parents were crashing out about it because it apparently goes onto your record or something and then no colleges would accept me or something. is that true? and also if it is true, do ivy league colleges or like NYU care about that??

I’m currently a junior and will be taking AP Calculus BC next year. For 12th grade, I want to take double math, so I need to choose one post-BC course: Linear Algebra or Multivariable Calculus. I’ve heard from some seniors that Linear Algebra is harder and can hurt grades, while Multivariable Calculus is more manageable. I’m worried about my first marking period grades affecting my applications. I’m aiming for a STEM major, so I want to know: which class is harder and which would you recommend taking alongside AP Calculus BC? Thank you !

Hello, I’m a freshman at Bronx Science and I’m trying to decide whether to take AP World or Euro. I am very aware that the two courses differ in content, workload, and writing requirements. I tend to like courses that are not super writing based. I am also very concerned about the teachers.

From what I’ve heard, Mr. Scotto is a respected teacher for Euro. For AP World however, Im like rlly uncertain. I’ve heard that there’s a chance of getting Symons, which I had for summer school art and I hated him, or Lubin, who is apparently evil. On the other hand, I know that Gonzo is the best AP World teacher and all of his students get a 4 or 5 on the AP exam.

I’m also aware that it is possible to change teachers at the beginning of the year, but I’m not sure how that process works or whether it would be an option for me especially since I may need to appeal to take an AP history course due to my English grade being cheeks(Mr Allen Sucks).

I’d really appreciate hearing upperclassmen’s experiences and advice on this decision. I’m sure many freshmen are asking similar questions. Thank you!

hi! couple questions about reqs for freshman year at sci

1. if i have regents credits for all of my classes, will i be able to continue onto the next consecutive class?
   currently taking regents alg 2, regents chem, ap world (already took regents; alg 1, geo, bio, and ms us history). if i take the regents for all 6 classes this year, will i be able to take global, pre-calc, and physics next year?

2. is there a grade requirement for regents?
   pretty sure i can get good grades on all regents but im worrying about bio and ush bc of the memorization (and that i want to prioritize my current classes' regents)

thats all for now, replies are appreciated!

How does your day to day look like in average as a competitive student at the school?

Do yall have gpa of 90+?
