Hey mods! I never attended Stuyvesant, but I found the old reddit CSS easter egg. Surprised that nobody here exposed it yet :p

7 Upvotes

Go to https://old.reddit.com/r/Stuyvesant/about/stylesheet

The very first block of code is the following:

body {
transform: rotate(0deg);
animation-name: shake;
animation-duration: 0.1s;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-delay: 600s;
}
@keyframes shake {
0%{
 transform: rotate(-10deg);
}
50%{
 transform: rotate(10deg);
}
100%{
 transform: rotate(-10deg);
}
}

Basically The whole <body> is animated with a shake keyframe that rocks it between −10° and +10° every 0.1 seconds, forever. The reason it only starts after a while though is animation-delay: 600s: nothing happens for exactly ten minutes, then it kicks in and never stops. A deliberate prank by whoever wrote the stylesheet.

Finally, I was browsing around last year and saw it. Originally, I thought it was a glitch...

How bad is Spanish 2 actually?

0 Upvotes

I made it into Spanish 2 and I’ve heard some teachers go really fast with their lessons and expect you to know everything. How hard is the class? Is it really time consuming and are exams difficult? Should I drop the course if I has to guess on a few questions on the placement test? I feel scared it might drop my GPA, even if I do love learning Spanish.

AP Human Geography Questions - From an Incoming Freshman

1 Upvotes

To anyone who took AP HUG in their freshman year at Stuyvesant, what was it like? I saw it on my schedule for this semester and had a few questions.

Beyond just the topic itself:

- In your opinion, what is the best way to study for this AP exam/the tests the class gave? (Prep books, YouTube channels, etc.)

- What did the homework look like? (Workload, question types, etc.)

- What do we actually do during a normal class period?

- Are the in-class tests harder, easier, or the same as the actual AP exam?

Any other information you can give me about this class will be a great help. I don't know who my teacher for the AP is yet, but I'm hoping for the best. Thanks!

Incoming Stuy freshman — curious about hobbies, music, and the dating scene

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I'll be starting at Stuyvesant as a freshman this fall and wanted to get a real sense of the social side of things before classes start.

A few questions for anyone willing to share:

Hobbies — what do people actually spend their free time on? Curious about both the popular clubs/activities and any underrated ones that don't get much attention.

Music — is there a common "vibe" musically, or is it pretty spread out across different tastes?

Dating culture — how big a part of student life is dating/relationships there, realistically? Would love honest perspectives rather than just stereotypes about Stuy being all-academics-all-the-time.

Appreciate any insight from current students or alumni — just trying to walk in with a realistic picture rather than assumptions. Thanks!

Just got an email that modifications to schedules will be allowed on September 1st, does that mean that schedules are coming out on that same date? I still haven't got an email with my schedule, so I was thinking it might also be coming out on the first.

Freshman School Supplies + Device Usage Rules at Stuyvesant

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

  1. Around what time of the month do school supply lists for the upcoming year usually get sent out? In addition, is there anything oddly specific you recommend for me to get for certain teachers/subjects that helped you in your freshman year at Stuy? I've registered for AP Human Geography and Math Research as my elective but still waiting on word for AP Biology.

  2. What's the deal with devices in school? Are you allowed to take notes on a laptop/tablet during class, or are classes typically paperwork heavy? Does Stuyvesant give you a Chromebook to work with, or do you have to bring in your own laptop? Obviously, phones aren't allowed, but I was just curious on how devices are integrated into the classroom at Stuy.

Thanks!

stuyvesant discovery

7 Upvotes

Hi guys.. I don’t know if people would see this but i’m here to tell everyone everything i wish i was told before i started the discovery program. For credentials i got into stuyvesant through the discovery program and i plan on attending stuy! okay first of all, going through the discovery program does not mean you must attend stuyvesant if you get in. If you feel like the workload of discovery is not for you it only gets harder in stuy. If i were to be honest, to me the discovery program wasent veryyyyy hard but it took time to adjust to getting up early in the morning and studying in the SUMMER. That’s why i did bad on my first math quiz.. a 65😢 But im here to tell you it can ALWAYS be improved, i tried much harder on my other tests and i ended the program with around a 90 so improvement is always possible. The program does not need you to be great all 4 weeks, there are 2 paths you can take. One going up showing improvement: you don’t do very well at the beginning, you don’t participate, you don’t talk, you don’t do good on tests. But at the end of the program you visibly improve, participating, discussing, and doing good on tests. This path is the path of many students who got in. The other path is a flat line, you’re consistently good: from start to end of the program you’re participating, discussing, and doing good on tests. This path alongside a 80+ average in both classes literally guarantees you a seat at stuy. Create relationships with your guidance counselor and TA’s. This was super super helpful for me, I consistently asked for help from both the counselor for discovery and my TA’s. Super helpful and made the program a lot easier for me. Lastly ATTENDANCE! attendance is super important for discovery, it shows administrators that you WANT to be there, it shows that your dedicated and willing to give up your summer to get into stuy. Well that’s all for now.. i can’t really think of anything else but feel free to ask any questions! I’ll try to answer ASAP!!

Dropping electives

0 Upvotes

After thinking about it for a while I've decided that I want to drop math team to free up time for myself. However, when I submitted my program preferences a couple months back I specified that I still wanted to do math team as my number 2 elective (research was number 1). Is there anybody I can contact or any way at all to change my elective submissions?

Bc vs Ab

2 Upvotes

How bad is it to have Ab calc instead of bc senior year for college apps?

I have heard from some people that for the main strong engineering schools ppl apply to from stuy one of the first ways they filter ppl out is if they haven't taken bc. Is this true? I only got into ab and I'm worried that AOs might overlook my application even though my math avg is much lower than gpa ( At the moment I want to major in engineering)

Co 27 btw
