Hi guys, I'm at Bronx Science and sort of want to know the lay of the land for our seniors. Where do most kids from here usually end up?
While it's difficult to provide an exhaustively detailed list of colleges that Bronx Science students typically attend, I can share some patterns based on the school's history and reputation.
As a highly competitive NYC public high school, Bronx Science is known to send a large number of its graduates to prestigious colleges and universities. Historically, many graduates end up in Ivy League schools, among which Cornell University, University of Pennsylvania, and Columbia University are often popular choices.
Additionally, the school has a strong emphasis on STEM education, which results in many students matriculating to prominent tech-focused schools like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and California Institute of Technology (Caltech).
In-state options such as the State University of New York (SUNY) schools and CUNY schools are also very common choices for Bronx Science students, especially for those seeking more affordable yet quality education closer to home.
However, remember that every student's college process is unique, and the outcomes largely depend on individual interests, performance, and application strategies. Don't feel pressured to apply to the schools your peers prefer if those places don't align with your own academic and personal goals. Your college list should reflect what's best for you.
