Daniel Stern

High School Student · Aspiring Lawyer & Business Leader

About

I'm a junior at Brooklyn Technical High School in the Law & Society major, where I maintain a 99.8 weighted GPA and recently scored 1520 on the SAT. My academic focus spans constitutional law, criminal law, and civil procedure, complemented by a strong foundation in U.S. history, government, and forensic criminology. Through programs such as the Columbia High School Law Institute, I've engaged directly with legal scholarship, moot court, and lectures from Columbia alumni — building both the analytical rigor and intellectual curiosity that shape how I approach learning.

Beyond the classroom, I bring together leadership, debate, and entrepreneurial drive. As President of the BTHS eSports Club and Secretary of Business for the Youth, I've built a track record of organizing teams, coordinating events, and mobilizing peers around shared goals. My professional experience as a Broker's Associate through the NYC Summer Youth Employment Program gave me early exposure to real estate, client outreach, and the practical mechanics of the financial sector — fields I intend to pursue at the university level.
