If anyone is an incoming or already a student at Stuyvesant, I have a few questions

So I'm an incoming student and seeing how difficult and competitive it is to get in, I want will assume that its likely a lot of people are going to the school without their friends to come with. (not definite) This is the case for me and I want to ask if anyone else is in the same situation, whether it be incoming or already a student. My friends don't live very close and they go to completely different high schools in different borough, and middle school was the only time we ever get to see each other. Though I'd rather be positive, realistically we will probably drift away from each other and I will have to find new friends in Stuyvesant. However, I'm worried that people already have super close friendships so I won't find my people or I'll join group and end up getting excluded since I'm a new addition. Not to sound selfish, but i really want to have a fresh start and form a friendship from the beginning without anything already established for them. So if anyone was in my position (meaning they're already a student at Stuyvesant) or will be (Incoming Stuyvesant student) please tell me your experiences or any aid you can give.

thank you 😊
