On Saturday, April 2nd, 2022, we held a Specialized High School Seminar to inform students and parents about some of the high schools that kids can go to in NYC.First off, we went through a presentation about Youth4AM, our SHSAT preparation program for middle schoolers. Edward Wu discussed our tutoring methods, our results, and what makes our program unique.
Next we went over the actual structure of the SHSAT. Anna Fang discussed the various sections the SHSAT is split up into and some various tips to utilize when taking the test.
We then moved onto the actual high school showcase! For each school, we had a representative (usually from that school) present the basics and the quirks of each high school. There was then a short Q&A for the speaker to answer anything the audience had to ask. Here are the representatives we had for each school:
- Erica Liu for Stuyvesant
- Vicky Liu** for Townsend Harris
- Melody Chen for Brooklyn Tech
- Josie Nakatani for Brooklyn Latin
- Henry Wang for Hunter
- Joe Ren for Queens High School for the Sciences
- Erica Liu** for Bronx Science
- Evelyn Jiang for Staten Island Tech
** Because some of our previously-decided speakers were not able to make it, these people presented information for the high school even though they did not attend it.
Here’s the recording of the SHS Seminar, in case you couldn’t make it!
