Parents of Stuyvesant Students: How Your Child Can Stand Out in Top College Admissions

Stuyvesant Students Are Exceptional. But Admissions Don’t Always See It That Way.

Even the brightest students from specialized high schools face challenges when applying to the Ivies and other elite universities.

Grades are harder to earn, AP classes are limited, and competition is fierce. So how can your child’s true potential shine through? In this exclusive webinar, Former Duke Admissions Officer Sonam will pull back the curtain on how admissions committees evaluate applicants from competitive schools like Stuyvesant — and share how your child can rise above the crowd. In the webinar, we'll cover:

01

How elite admissions officers compare grades from Stuyvesant to students at other schools and how to ensure your child’s hard-earned achievements are recognized.

02

Why limited access to AP classes doesn’t have to be a disadvantage and how to showcase intellectual curiosity and rigor in other ways.

03

The biggest misconceptions families from competitive public schools make — and what admissions officers actually look for instead.

04

What makes a Stuyvesant student unforgettable — and the key storytelling strategies that set them apart in the admissions room.

05

Actionable next steps for parents to help their child build a focused, compelling profile that catches admissions officers’ attention.
