no, they dont look at your grades in seventh, and you dont apply in seventh. you apply in 8th grade, and its good to start studying starting from seventh grade, thats what i did. and i got into bronx science. stuyvesant has the highest cutoff score, then bronx, then tech, lehman, etc. its good because the graduation average is high, the kids get good grades and they actually care about learnning, etc.

Stuy has the highest SHSAT cutoff. Bronx Science or Brooklyn Tech are also pretty tough to get in (especially Science). QHSS, Staten Island Tech, and HSMSE are a lot easier so you could aim for one of them instead.

Honestly all of my friends there have been brought up since they can remember trying to get into it, most of the kids there have always known they would go to a specialised HS, so you need to study starting today if you want any chance of getting in!
