College Process
With early application decisions looming, the college process is on the mind of Bronx Scienceseniors. Our twelve college advisors, as well as our dedicated faculty, work closely with students throughout their four years at Bronx Science on every topic from course selection to extracurricular activities to which colleges to apply to.
Similarly, the Bronx Science Alumni Foundation plays a pivotal role in helping Bronx Scienceenhance the resources available to students as well as leveraging the experiences and expertise of alumni. Some of the highlights of our efforts below:
Renovation of the College and Guidance Office – Over the summer, the BronxScience Alumni Foundation sponsored a complete renovation of the college office providing an exceptional meeting space now for students, college counselors and visiting college admissions officers.
Professional Development – We provide financial support for our college counselors to attend different professional conferences as well as visit different colleges. We also bring college admissions officers to Bronx Science so our college counselors can learn more from them about their process.
College Essay – The main college essay in the common application is a major focal point of the college process. We have a partnership with Story2, a company that specializes in the college essay. Story2 works with our students on identifying their topic as well as providing thorough written feedback so they can make their essay stand out.
College Interviews – Through our Project Accepted program, alumni work one-on-one with students to conduct practice interviews. Students and alumni work together to craft their responses, to learn how to present themselves and to develop confidence to excel at the interview.
College Supplements – College supplements are the part of the college application that is specific to each school. A successful supplement should demonstrate knowledge and insight into that particular institution. We partner students and alumni together, allowing alumni to review supplements remotely and offer students personalized feedback.
We are proud of the ways we are supporting current Bronx Science students with their college process. We encourage all alumni to get involved!
