Robotics

I was just curious if the robotics club/program has to participate and do competitions. If it says it somewhere and I didn't see it I'm sorry, but I thought I needed to know before I actually made a plan to do it

Results

Has anybody received their results yet?? I feel like ASMS Admissions is gaslighting us to believe that other students have already received their acceptances but in reality they were just behind on reviewing applications.

I'm so nervous

I'm going to the ASMS day today, Nov 9, and I am nervous because I'm taking the diagnostic exam, and because the conditional acceptance is beginning to come out on the 11th. What if I go to the tour and take the test but I don't get in?😭

ASMS

I am a current freshman at a very small high school. I received a letter from ASMS a couple month ago and I was wondering what exactly all I need to get in. I currently have all A's, and participate in FBLA, FFA, and honor society. I was elected to be in student government, as the ninth-grade class representative, as well as the superintendent's advisory council. I am a third-year participant in the SAMUN (south Alabama model united nations). This past year I have also received the Cullinan award through a stem program as a fourth-year participant. Please let me know what yall think, and if there is anything I should worry about. I would like to hear from people who had good and bad experiences at this school, and if they enjoyed it and really think its worth it.

I'm currently applying

I'm a freshman applying for the 2025-2026 school year. I'm pretty nervous, but I was hoping someone could inform me about application exceptions and what to expect in the dorms.

Would my lack of clubs and extracurriculars make me less likely to get in? I was in beta last year and a sort of book club.

I have a septum piercing (nose piercing). Will that harm me, and should I hide it, or will it not matter?

My hair is red on top, not super bright but not natural, and I have a black under-dye that isn't very noticeable unless I intentionally make it noticeable. Will that hurt my chances of getting in?

Are people normally satisfied with their roommate that the placement test gave you?

What happens at orientation once you get admitted?

What is a good SAT or ACT score?

How was your social life at ASMS?

Are the room checks for cleanliness very strict, or is it hard to meet their standards?

Sorry if any of my questions seem dumb and thank you if you answer.

Incoming Male Students

Quick throwaway account post, but I wanted to ask since I’ve been too embarrassed to say much about this. Have any other female residents had uncomfortable experiences with the new incoming class males? I don’t know if this is happening to others or if I’ve just been unlucky but I keep noticing uncomfortable staring, specifically at inappropriate areas, even when I’ve been wearing sweats and a hoodie. Am I alone in noticing this? I’ve had bad experiences before with this at ASMS but i’m noticing it a lot more recently. Thoughts?

is asms really worth it?

earlier last year i got the letter from asms. me and my best friend were going to go together…but i got cold feet and brushed off the idea of it. she still applied and recently took me with her to the orientation day. while she took her placement exam i sat listening to the people talk about the upcoming year and honestly was convinced that this school is the best for my future. i emailed the dean and asked for tips for applying for the 2025/2026 school year, and he responded and told me that there was still time to apply for this year. so that’s what i’m doing, suuuper last minute. i’m excited however the more i check off the list of requirements the more nervous i get. i keep hearing horror stories about how asms is unsafe and how they don’t actually care for their students??? i’m already nervous because the school is in mobile but this is just pushing me off the edge…

Orientation Days

Hello, I'm not able to make it to either of the orientation days this year and I wanted to ask what happened at them. Like what did they go over, is there anything important that I should know, etc. I know June 21st is the other one but I wanted to go ahead and ask about the one on the 15th. I asked my friends that went but they literally told me nothing so I wanted to ask here.

Ap Classes

I’m an incoming junior to asms and want to take some AP classes (mainly Bio, Lit, Lang, Phys 1&2 & Comp Sci) throughout my stay at asms. My question is how hard are the classes? Ive never taken an AP class before and have heard that an AP class can be pretty alright (or even easy) to excruciating depending on the teacher.

What is their schedule/routine on homework, quizzes and tests? What is your overall opinion on that class?

Will I not be accepted due to my older sister.

(Current 8th) I have always wanted to escape my middle of nowhere Alabama school system but my older sister has gotten in tons of trouble at ASMS even getting having secks with a guy and getting in trouble for PDA. I would love to get in but I need to know if I wouldn't get in. I have high Act scores composite 23 (Taken in nov).

Anyone else feel like this

For context, I’m an incoming sophomore for next year. I have a happy, stable life, with lots of friends including a couple of very close friends. I play sports and am involved in many clubs at my school.

I wish I’d never heard of Asms. It’s kinda hard to explain, which is why I’m asking. Does anyone else feel this way or felt this way when they got accepted?

I heard about Asms through a letter they sent me. Immediately, I jumped on the opportunity. I knew I had to get in. I come from a 4A school, so it wasn’t too small. I have many opportunities here, but it can’t compare to how many I’d have at Asms. As soon as I read that letter, I knew I had to apply and attend, because I simply couldn’t give up that opportunity.

I know I’d be happier staying here, but I can’t help but go. Or else, Asms would’ve been the “what could’ve been”. And I never would’ve known. Ever. That really scared me.

I’ve came to accept my decision, but I still wish I ever would’ve heard about it. I couldn’t ever deny the opportunity, so it would’ve been better if I’d never been presented it. Since I’m giving up so much to come, I now have high expectations, which I’m scared might be my downfall.

Fuck it, we ball

What are the clubs?

I'm an incoming student and I was just wondering what kind of clubs there are. I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything other than like a handful such as like Key club, and MineCraft Club.

Is there actually people who have not gotten into asmsa?

Like for example if you make it to the semifinal, did or would they ever tell you, you didn’t make it in??

Because I’m thinking by that point in time they would just accept everyone who made it into the semifinals? But that probably couldn’t be the case?

Just finished my interview

For anyone looking the interview was fairly easy. The questions were mostly about yourself and the rest is time management, conflict management. If you even slightly prepared for the interview it's going to be a breeze, don't stress.

Hi 😭

Does anyone know what the accuplacer is like? I got into the semifinalist part and i have no idea what the accuplacer even is (Im a freshmen) I’ve gotten told by a friend that the math portion is easier than the math portion in the ACT and that its very straightforward.

Also is there a lot of sophomores there at ASMSA? I was just wondering.
