2024 SHS Seminar Recap

The 2024 Specialized High School (SHS) Seminar, hosted by Youth4AM on April 6th, 2024, welcomed middle school students and parents potentially interested in applying to NYC’s top high schools. With emcees Andre Wang and Erica Liu, the webinar mainly focused on slideshows of each of the specialized high schools’ statistics, academics, and extracurriculars. Presenters included current students attending each of the schools. Some speakers, if attending the school they were presenting on, were able to give their personal opinions and share experiences. A list of this year’s speakers is included below with the schools they presented on. 

Katherine Chen – The Bronx High School of Science

Erica Liu** – The Brooklyn Latin School

Ernest Chan – Brooklyn Technical High School

Orlena Fella – High School for Mathematics, Science, and Engineering at City College of New York

The webinar also included a general slideshow on the SHSAT at the beginning, presented by Wendy Wang, and our emcees wrapped up the seminar by talking about how an affordable, personalized test prep like Youth4AM would uplift students’ test-taking skills and general knowledge. Ultimately, students would be preparing for not just the SHSAT, but actively learning material in both English and math for their high school years to come. If you are a rising middle school student in NYC or a parent with any questions about specialized high schools and/or test prep for the SHSAT, we encourage you to look out for and attend next year’s seminar!
