I attend Bronx Science HS and I'm wondering where most of our alumni end up for college. I think it could give a good benchmark for my own applications. Does anyone have any ideas?
While the specific data changes each year, traditionally, many Bronx Science graduates tend to get accepted into selective colleges and universities due to the school's rigorous curriculum and commitment to academic excellence.
Universities within the City University of New York (CUNY) system and the State University of New York (SUNY) system often admit many students from Bronx Science, thanks to their affordability and solid academic programs. These would include schools like Baruch College (CUNY), Hunter College (CUNY), Binghamton University (SUNY), and Stony Brook University (SUNY).
Others make it to the Ivy League schools such as Harvard, Yale, and Columbia, although these schools are highly competitive and require top grades and strong extracurriculars.
It's also not uncommon for students from Bronx Science to get accepted to specialized and technical schools like Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), or liberal arts colleges like Amherst College and Swarthmore College.
National universities like University of Chicago, Stanford University, Duke University, and University of Michigan also attract Bronx Science alumni.
Keep in mind that while knowing where most alumni go can help provide some direction, it's even more important to find the best fit for you – academically, socially, and financially. Remember to consider factors like size, location, academic rigor, majors offered, campus culture, and financial aid packages when you're making your college list.
