course-selection

[cinder gorge]

I actually enjoy it 😭

[pliant gust]

thats a major change

[pliant gust]

same here

[cinder gorge]

i know but art makes no money lmao

so yeah

just trying to get into stem now 🙂

[cinder gorge]

I mean like

You never know

[pliant gust]

well yea

art can be a hobby

until it makes enough to become ur main job

[cinder gorge]

um i know

trust me

artists are poor as hell

[cinder gorge]

Yeah that’s what my mom does

[cinder gorge]

Yeah but you could be different

my mom is an artist and that's why we're low income 👍

[pliant gust]

well thats not realky recommeneded lol

[cinder gorge]

exactly

so stem

i gotta do it

[pliant gust]

thats like gambling your life to be the 1 in a 1000

[cinder gorge]

Yeah but I go to an arts school 💀

sad but true. you gotta get the money 😭

[cinder gorge]

Not really

money first then passion

There’s so many other things you can do

[tidal estuary]

that's true

[cinder gorge]

If you want money

[tidal estuary]

you could become an art teacher if you want something stable

[pliant gust]

yes like human trafficking

jk jk

[cinder gorge]

No 💀

[cinder gorge]

nah i couldnt bro

Business management

i hate kids

[tidal estuary]

lol

[cinder gorge]

Product design

[cinder gorge]

You could be a professor

i gotta be the richer than elon musk now

[pliant gust]

With an art major?

[cinder gorge]

that's the goal

[pliant gust]

yessir

[cinder gorge]

Yeah probably

[tidal estuary]

graphic design

[cinder gorge]

bro art schools nowadays are not good

[tidal estuary]

animation

[cinder gorge]

you will have a hand injury

My mom is a director in a tech company and she majored in microbiology

She went to night college in the us

[pliant gust]

isnt animation low pay snd lot of work

[cinder gorge]

That depends

[tidal estuary]

idk

[cinder gorge]

yeah it is though

But yeah art professor

[tidal estuary]

but it's more stable than just artist

[cinder gorge]

My dad made quite a bit as a professor

[pliant gust]

trye

[cinder gorge]

i mean unless you go to the old fashioned ones but the modern ones just give ideas

Plus it gave him a lot of time

art is supposed to be self taught anyway

and self motivated

[cinder gorge]

Makes sense

anyways

its fine

i'm ok with stem

[pliant gust]

imagine ideas

[cinder gorge]

I mean if you’re so set on the idea

You probably enjoy it

Stem I mean

my mom's lawyer said its the only way anyways 💀

[pliant gust]

does okay mean like?

[tidal estuary]

depends but proffesors make decent money definitely

[cinder gorge]

That’s CSP

Cap

[cinder gorge]

no it's true

[cinder gorge]

Yeah ofc but you get time too

[tidal estuary]

law is not a stem proffesion lol

[cinder gorge]

if you're a woman and you get into stem, there's so much you could do

[cinder gorge]

My mom isn’t in stem 💀 I would know

She made more outside of stem than she did in

ok but like

Her stem salary was like a 1/3 of her salary now

[pliant gust]

those are exceptions

[cinder gorge]

that's not counting the stuff they give away today

[cinder gorge]

Not really

There’s quite a few professions

Outside of stem

[pliant gust]

plus stem gives good foundations for other stuff

[cinder gorge]

That make decent money

stem internships are so easy to find. art ones no

[pliant gust]

like law?

what else?

[tidal estuary]

bro internships are so annoying to find outside of stem

[pliant gust]

lolol and here i am struggling to find one in stem

[cinder gorge]

exactly

[tidal estuary]

I want to do sociology or poli sci or something like that and broo

[cinder gorge]

Law, business, product design, project manager, anything in management pretty much, and those are just things at the top of my mind

[cinder gorge]

how is that hard bro

i can't find any ones in art

[pliant gust]

oh right management is a thing

[cinder gorge]

My friend got an anthropology/sociology one sophomore year

[cinder gorge]

Same

Cause they’re not easy to get

[pliant gust]

idk i dont see any on mu school website or linkedib

[cinder gorge]

Yeah you make a lot

[pliant gust]

stupid linkedin only has stem internships for college studbets

[cinder gorge]

Because Covid + they’re taken

[pliant gust]

i applied to so many

[cinder gorge]

the virtual ones?

ok

[tidal estuary]

where???????

[pliant gust]

but sidnt even get a reply

[cinder gorge]

yeah stem is super hard to find 😭

[cinder gorge]

I can ask her

def

It’s virtual though

[cinder gorge]

Rn yeah it is

[tidal estuary]

that is ideal actually

[cinder gorge]

I applied to a hospital, a lab, etc

[cinder gorge]

what about the virtual ones

bro

[pliant gust]

💀

[cinder gorge]

And they’re all taken

The hospital told me to apply in a year

[pliant gust]

i need before college apps in a few months

[cinder gorge]

The lab didn’t even reply

[cinder gorge]

local ones depend

the virtual ones dont

[cinder gorge]

Ok bet I’ll add you and let you know

tehyre everywhere

[pliant gust]

screw recesssions

[cinder gorge]

I’m not doing a virtual bio internship 💀

I’m already doing a bio class online

[cinder gorge]

i know but im just saying

That’s really pushing it

like stem is the most pushed thing out there

[cinder gorge]

Trust me bio online isn’t it

[cinder gorge]

dude nothing online school does helps 😭

[cinder gorge]

Rn yeah but if you truly look you can find stuff

[tidal estuary]

I might look into local political internships

[deft mirage]

Anyone got any class recommendations, going into senior year and have an extra space

[cinder gorge]

You may have to spend more time

why else you think no one learned anything in 2020

[tidal estuary]

those are easier to get

[cinder gorge]

art stuff?! no

[cinder gorge]

Gl

i dont see any lmao

[cinder gorge]

Virtually?

[cinder gorge]

yeah where lmao

most of them dont even offer volunteer hours

[tidal estuary]

only problem is I live in Texas so politics I agree with are- less common

[cinder gorge]

or a future

because most artists are self-employed

so ofc it's not gonna be helpful

[cinder gorge]

same except in illinois

[tidal estuary]

lol nice

[cinder gorge]

Ok but internships usually don’t…

although i'm not that into politics so idk

[cinder gorge]

What about virtual ones

[cinder gorge]

yeah that's why the free ones you gotta watch out for

[cinder gorge]

No like none do 💀

some of them take advantage of your time

and time is money

Community service is the way to go if you’re after hours

[tidal estuary]

I'm going to start volunteering for Beto, but actual internships are pretty rare I think

[cinder gorge]

That’s the whole point of an unpaid internship 💀

[tidal estuary]

unless ur in college

[cinder gorge]

i would know because i joined one student led and the ceo piled work after work for me

[cinder gorge]

no it isnt.

[cinder gorge]

Gl! Volunteering is very fun

[cinder gorge]

Yeah it’s free labor

[tidal estuary]

yeah I'm excited

[cinder gorge]

And in return you learn

[cinder gorge]

I’ll bet

[cinder gorge]

the point of an unpaid internship is to be worth it for you and your future career

not wasting your time

[cinder gorge]

You learn from it yeah

That’s what you get from an unpaid internship

[tidal estuary]

really hope Beto wins in November tho cause the current Texas governor is getting on my ducking nerves

[cinder gorge]

well i've been in bad ones so

[cinder gorge]

And o was talking about from a company’s point of view

i didnt learn anything except to watch out

and be more careful

[cinder gorge]

Were they legit places?

[cinder gorge]

i was talking about student led ones 😭

[cinder gorge]

well yeah

[cinder gorge]

Why would you ever join a student led one 😭

[cinder gorge]

i dont know because some are well organized

but some arent

so yeah im careful now

a lot of the CEOs do nothing

[cinder gorge]

Yeah unless you’ve had first hand experience I would steer clear

[cinder gorge]

i'm in a few good ones though so at least i didnt waste a lot

honestly though

people should be careful of the student led ones

especially if theyre not really non-profit

and they just say they are

[cinder gorge]

That’s good

[cinder gorge]

if you are interested in the medical field and the arts, i can dm you one of them that does exactly that

the ceo is underage but at least she actually made it into a real nonprofit

[cinder gorge]

I’m interested yes

[gentle nimbus]

Could you dm me one?

[queen lava]

I need advice, should I take ap calculus ab course or bc? Can I take them both at the same time? Also with physics, should I take physics 1 or 2 or C? Or can I take them all at the same time? Mind you I’ve one year of school left and just now my school introduced AP classes.

[queen lava]

• anyone know where I can find online AP physics courses (1,2&c) that have the gpa booster available because just found out that my school doesn’t offer any AP physics

[wise forge]

No point in taking AB and BC at the same time. Physics C is best taken with Calcluls and givesthe best credit

[queen lava]

So I should take physics C and calculus BC?

What abt physics 1&2

[wise forge]

Thats the top work load

[wise forge]

bad credit, good gpa weight.

[queen lava]

Hmm

[wise forge]

most colleges don't accept 1&2

[queen lava]

I’m aiming for MIT, and I know it’s a long stretch but, My school never offered honors or AP before this year

And it’s my last year of school

[wise forge]

hm

[queen lava]

I do have a gpa of 4.0 tho

I’ve had a 4.0 since 8th grade

So i need help deciding what’s more important

Credit or gpa

[wise forge]

hm

[wise forge]

https://firstyear.mit.edu/academics-exploration/ap-transfer-credit/advanced-placement/

that should help

https://ir.mit.edu/cds-2021

[queen lava]

I went through these -thanks a lot- but I still don’t know if having more credits will increase my chances of getting into mit compared to getting a gpa of higher than 4.0

[ionic axle]

i think having a high gpa, relevant extracurriculars that show leadership and innovation, and challenging yourself w hard courses is good

i dont really think the amount of credit matters, its more about what comes as a result of taking a certain class yk?

[queen lava]

I see your point

Then I’ll take physics C and calculus BC

Because mit and any other universities I apply to should take into account that my school didn’t offer ap or honors before my last year right?

[cinder gorge]

Yes

[hardy kernel]

Yaaa

[ionic axle]

yeah theyll take into account that you werent given that choice, but also if ur school doesnt have ap maybe they offer a thing where u could do double enrollment into a community college nearby, that way it shows that your taking a high level class, your creating a new oppurtunity for urself, and if you do good in that class it helps

[hardy kernel]

Some schools don't even have that

So you'll be fine if you take advantage of the resources available

[queen lava]

I can’t do that 😭

[ionic axle]

oh💀

[dense crane]

online classes then?

like BYU

only problem is they cost a ton of money

[ionic axle]

its ok tho colleges will take ur situation into account, just have strong extras good grades and overarching theme or story to ur application and ull be fine

[dense crane]

like 300+ per semester

[dense crane]

man i wish my school didnt offer aps lol

there are so many sweats

[ionic axle]

u dont like aps?

[dense crane]

i do, but toxic environment.

[ionic axle]

oh now it make more sense. ppl make classes suck, not the actual class.

[dense crane]

frfr

[shadow kettle]

LMAO

[grave smelt]

How to get into Amherst College ?

[gentle nimbus]

Google "Amherst common data set"

Then click on "first time, first admission"

Also check their website and look for their average SAT/ACT scores and try to get above that

[tidal estuary]

moood

[cinder gorge]

Which Physics C would you recommend with Calculus BC?

[wise forge]

both?

[cinder gorge]

Yes, so like Electricity and Magnetism or Mechanics?

[cinder gorge]

I don’t think you should take both physics C and Calc bc unless you’re super interested in it and you don’t want any other electives

And if you actually have time for that

[wise forge]

My school makes us take both

[wise forge]

My school has them both in the same class

[cinder gorge]

Weird

[cinder gorge]

Most schools don’t

[wise forge]

Oh

[wise forge]

Its a common practice I thought

[cinder gorge]

Nope

[cinder gorge]

First year of high school what classes should i take?

[gentle nimbus]

I think it'd be best to take lighter courses and get a feel for what high school is like, then in sophomore you should take more rigorous classes if you think you can do them

[cinder gorge]

Ah thanks for the advice

[cinder gorge]

Whichever you’re interested in

[cinder gorge]

I mean, taking more difficult classes your freshman year can open more opportunities your sophomore year

And it’s good practice

[gentle nimbus]

True, I guess it's all up to what they think is best

[candid cove]

Is a free period worth it in your sophomore year?

[cinder gorge]

Nope

[wise forge]

Free periods do look worse to colleges who are looking for the most rigorous courseload

[formal oxide]

couldnt that also look good on college apps that youve dedicated time to more rigourous courses early on in hs?

[gentle nimbus]

Yup

[cinder gorge]

Yeah ofc

In the end though, it won’t make a huge difference when it comes to college apps

For me, the real value came from early experience as well as building good study habits

[scarlet lodge]

meanwhile i have like 11 free periods for this upcoming semester on my school system... (idk it's funky but im taking a full course load just some of them are online and others are only for certain days of the week lol)

[wise forge]

uhhhh

lmao

How the

Im not gonna ask but if you're taking online classes I presume a college will be able to see that

[scarlet lodge]

yea it's funny idk either

well i do but i dont feel like explaining it

[scarlet lodge]

yeaaa lol

[wise forge]

lmao

Im taking online college classes with a full couse load plus lots of ECs

[scarlet lodge]

nice :))

[wise forge]

Marching band is 3-4 hours a night 💀

after school

[scarlet lodge]

💀 omg

idk it lasted that long

[wise forge]

ima have to find room for my college classes and my AP hw

[scarlet lodge]

like that's legit longer than most sports

[wise forge]

it is

I played soccer last year with MB

Soccer 3-5 Marching band 5-9

[scarlet lodge]

yeaaa that's gonna require intense time management

[wise forge]

I got google calendar on my side

[scarlet lodge]

that's a tight schedule. kudos to u

thats good

[wise forge]

I had to quit soccer this year sadly

[scarlet lodge]

omg :((

[wise forge]

bad injury and my doctor won't clear me

[scarlet lodge]

at least you'll pursue band

:( aw

[wise forge]

I hate band low key

Im a choir kid

[scarlet lodge]

choir is fun

[wise forge]

very

[scarlet lodge]

my school doesnt rlly offer any sports/band/anything rlly

[wise forge]

Darn :c

[scarlet lodge]

💀 cause it's not worth it

like the only purpose of my school is to let kids get their associates

so each grade level is only 50 kids

[wise forge]

Oh 💀 one of those prep schools

[scarlet lodge]

but most ppl drop out

it's pretty funny

[scarlet lodge]

it was free tho

[wise forge]

yeah

[scarlet lodge]

so that part's nice

[wise forge]

They all are

[scarlet lodge]

oh lolll

[wise forge]

well not all

in my local area they all are

[scarlet lodge]

yea there's some cool ones tho, like rutgers in NY

[scarlet lodge]

ohhh nice

did u have to apply for it in 8th grade?

[wise forge]

Yeah

[scarlet lodge]

did u try for it? or did u not wanna do it?

[wise forge]

I was going too bc they were a performing arts school. I looked at the rankings though and my public school is better

[scarlet lodge]

oh ok that was a smart decision then

[wise forge]

Bc their school day was from 6:40-4:30

[scarlet lodge]

my public school is not good at all

DAYUMMM

[wise forge]

Darn

[scarlet lodge]

i start at 9 am

and then end at 4 pm

[wise forge]

like 4- 5 hours of choir a day

[scarlet lodge]

ohhh ok that makes sense

[wise forge]

My school day started at 6:45 last year and went to 2:30, but i would be at school till 9-10 (two nights 11)

[scarlet lodge]

😭 omg

[wise forge]

After a football game they forgot a bus for the percussionists so we were stuck there till 2 am

[scarlet lodge]

thats so long

[wise forge]

we had school the next day

But but but my teachers were all understanding

[scarlet lodge]

💀 might as well stay over night

at that point

[wise forge]

well it wasn't at our school

[scarlet lodge]

ohhhh

ok

[wise forge]

it was at a school in the next city over

[scarlet lodge]

yea

dang thats crazy then

and your parents couldnt have picked yall up?

[wise forge]

But the district themselves acknowledged the mess up and told the teachers to give us a break and they did

[wise forge]

Nope, district policy

[scarlet lodge]

thats good

[green raptor]

Bruh I start at 7:45 & get out at 2:15 on a regular day 😭

[wise forge]

Thats the wrong times

it went to 2:40

[scarlet lodge]

they should change that for emergencies, like they shouldnt hold kids for that long... but oh well not much u can do about it

[wise forge]

this year we start at 8:30 and go to 3:19

[scarlet lodge]

were your parents worried?

[wise forge]

no 💀

they were all kept up to date that we were left in the freezing cold with no transport home for hours

[scarlet lodge]

😭 omggg

my mom would freak out

if that happened to me

[wise forge]

but also parents dont wanna drive that far lol

bc we're a poor area

Gas was like $5 back then

now its 8

lol

[scarlet lodge]

OMMGGG

ok

that makes sense

[wise forge]

band stories man

[scarlet lodge]

my mom would be the same way then

rn gas is 3.50 for me

[wise forge]

I enjoyed band last year, i am just not liking it this year

[wise forge]

Where you at lmao

[scarlet lodge]

😭 u make me feel so fortunate

[scarlet lodge]

north carolina

but I'm closer to the coast than inland

[wise forge]

NC is the eastern version of cali for the most part

[scarlet lodge]

oh lol

[wise forge]

Like looking at our school systems and laws

I have read through NC law

im bored sometimes

one difference is you guys use ADM and ADA for funding while we only use ADA

average daily membership and average daily attendance

[scarlet lodge]

ohh okay thank you for elaborating because I wasnt sure what that is.

that interesting idk that

that's pretty cool

[wise forge]

Yeah

NC bands are better than cali bands

Moorseville High School had a good one pre covid

I have friends that went there

[scarlet lodge]

😭 dang i wouldve thought it wouldve been the other way around

[wise forge]

We have better percussion in percussion only comps

[scarlet lodge]

thats cool

[wise forge]

But thats technical

In like full though like

horns and perc together

South in general just way better

[scarlet lodge]

💀 yeaa i used to live in florida and I remember that the high school's band was like pretty good

[wise forge]

Same

[scarlet lodge]

like they went to disney world

[wise forge]

yep

[scarlet lodge]

oh, how did you like it?

[wise forge]

Moorseville did a few times lol

[scarlet lodge]

nicee

[wise forge]

I liked it better than cali

the one difference is that I could start college as a sophmomore in cali while a junior in fl

[scarlet lodge]

like actually dorm and enroll? or do you mean take classes while being in high school?

[wise forge]

take classes while being in high school

[scarlet lodge]

oh ok

that's crazy, idk there were restrictions on that

[wise forge]

I got a 99/100.5 on my bio final this summer

[scarlet lodge]

omggg good job

[wise forge]

Yeah

[scarlet lodge]

congrats

[wise forge]

thanks

[scarlet lodge]

np :)

[wise forge]

Easier than HS bio though

[scarlet lodge]

💀 that's actually pretty funny

[wise forge]

I took Honors BIo last year and then i took a 4 week class at college and it was the easiest vs

Bs

Better grade in this class too lol

[scarlet lodge]

tbh i like summer classes bc the fast paced-ness is good to just get it over with

[wise forge]

yeah

[scarlet lodge]

niceee

[wise forge]

Easier to rememebr everything

[scarlet lodge]

it helps when the professors are easier to have too

FR

[wise forge]

Im supposed to be making a study guide for my psych final rn

[scarlet lodge]

I HAD A YEAR LONG BIO CLASS LAST YEAR

bro it was so hard to remember stuff for the final

[scarlet lodge]

ohhh haha, sorry. Ig you should work on that. Good luck!!

[wise forge]

All classes are year long here except for health, American Culture, Gov & econ, some electives

[scarlet lodge]

ohhh dang

[wise forge]

we have 6 classes a year normally

[scarlet lodge]

i normally have semester long classes

[wise forge]

You can have 8 max if you fill it up but its not worth it

I have 7 mormally

normally

[scarlet lodge]

that's cool

[wise forge]

yeah

[wise forge]

NC does it better

4 classes a sem

[scarlet lodge]

yepp

i like to do 5 classes a semester tho

[wise forge]

Over here we call it an "Excel Schedule" and only a few schools do it on the bay area

[wise forge]

Daym

we only need 13 classes to graduate by state alw lol

[scarlet lodge]

last spring i did 6 classes cause i was taking a rlly easy online class

[wise forge]

ah

[scarlet lodge]

that's it?? dang

[wise forge]

Districts have their own rules though

[scarlet lodge]

ohh yea

[wise forge]

My district requires 4 years of english and PE

state only requires 3 years of english and 2 years of pe with the first year required to be during the school year.

[scarlet lodge]

I'm pretty sure NC sets the graduation requirements

[wise forge]

Yeah

[scarlet lodge]

like districts can't change it

[wise forge]

Ye

[scarlet lodge]

unless they're getting more specific

😢

[wise forge]

Our state makes guidelines

[scarlet lodge]

ohhh nice

[scarlet lodge]

but ^^ along with that. The state says we need a physical sci class to gradute which means like chem or physics. BUT MY SCHOOL IS FORCING ME TO TAKE PHYSICAL SCI which is non honors

and im so mad about it omg

[wise forge]

Oh wow

Integrated Physical Science is for the kids with a 2.0 or below in my school

gpa^

[scarlet lodge]

😭 dang

that makes me so sad

[wise forge]

yeah 💀

[scarlet lodge]

omg

[wise forge]

Oh and a foreign language

[scarlet lodge]

🥲 idk why my school does this to us

[wise forge]

You cant take one unless you have a GPA of 2.5 or above

since they aren't required for graduation

[scarlet lodge]

oh dang, idk that

[scarlet lodge]

right, but it's highly recommended for some colleges lol

[wise forge]

required for a lot

but thats why im taking mine at college

[scarlet lodge]

spanish?

[wise forge]

My school doesn't have dual credit for anything

[wise forge]

Yes

[scarlet lodge]

nicee

[wise forge]

I wanted to take German but the school that offers it is far away

[scarlet lodge]

wait so ur college credits don't transfer to ur high school grad requirements?

[wise forge]

Ye

[scarlet lodge]

;-; dang

[wise forge]

My school doesn't support us doing this

im doing it behind their backs

lol

[scarlet lodge]

aw man :( I had a friend that wanted to take italian but the community college near me doesnt have that

we only have spanish

[wise forge]

My counselor said no to taking AP Biology bc i wanted to take chemistry during the summer... so i took biology over the summer at college lmao

[scarlet lodge]

and we're supposed to have french and german but no professors teach that

[scarlet lodge]

NICEE

[wise forge]

Same

we're supposed to have German 1-4

We don't lmao

[scarlet lodge]

💀 now u can take the ap bio exam if u rlly wanted to

[wise forge]

Nah

no point

just a waste of money

[scarlet lodge]

that's good tho. i mean the college course is easier than the ap class

[scarlet lodge]

yea lol

[wise forge]

way easier

[scarlet lodge]

dangg :(

[wise forge]

I can only take 2 classes or up to 11 units per semester

took 6 units in 4-weeks with summer school PE for the first three (4 and a half hours a day of exercise with sundays off)

2 classes lol

[scarlet lodge]

danggg

[wise forge]

I wish i could take more

i could take 3 and stay within 11 units lol

[scarlet lodge]

yeaa. You're definitely capable of taking as many as you want

[wise forge]

classes are typically 3-5 unit

[scarlet lodge]

it just sucks that they restrict you

[wise forge]

Yeah

well the state pays them for my attendance

[scarlet lodge]

ohhh nice

[wise forge]

state doesn't wanna pay for more lol

[scarlet lodge]

💀 that makes sense

they have a limited budget lol

[wise forge]

i'd pay for em on my own but state law requires you have a high school diploma

[wise forge]

its cali

hell we dont

[scarlet lodge]

💀 damn. i mean maybe ur parents could enroll you, and they have their diplomas jkjk ik that's not how it works

[wise forge]

lmao

ASU wants me so i could take classes there online without one

and NAU

im not even in arizona but i keep getting letters and emails lmao

[scarlet lodge]

That's good! You could just transfer credits lol

[wise forge]

Maybe

[scarlet lodge]

I mean arizona is like pretty close to cali lol

my dad is actually stationed there rn haha

[wise forge]

ou haha

[cinder gorge]

[scarlet lodge]

💔 i like the south

[wise forge]

getting my IGETC and my major requirements done at CC

[cinder gorge]

I don’t think the culture is for me

[scarlet lodge]

ohhh

[wise forge]

so all ill have to do is take 8 courses

[scarlet lodge]

i get that

[cinder gorge]

What’s IGETC

[cinder gorge]

Yeah Texas freaked me out 💀

[scarlet lodge]

transferable credits i think

[wise forge]

Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curicula

[cinder gorge]

Ah ok

I just do AP tbh

[wise forge]

I do as well

[cinder gorge]

Makes my life easier

[wise forge]

AP Gives me credit and then i take cc classes

[cinder gorge]

And we can only take one college course at a time

[wise forge]

we can only take 2

[cinder gorge]

Yeah I don’t have time to go after school

[wise forge]

💀 i dont either

[cinder gorge]

Have fun!

[wise forge]

google translate gonna help me doing spanish lmfao

jokes

[cinder gorge]

Wait do you live in da

Ca

[wise forge]

yes

[cinder gorge]

Do you get free textbooks at your class?

Cc

[wise forge]

No

[cinder gorge]

Cause I will tell you the easiest place for spanish

😭

[wise forge]

pdfs are fun

[cinder gorge]

Well I mean if you want the cc name

[cinder gorge]

They are

[wise forge]

iLL TAKE IT

caps

[cinder gorge]

I’ll dm you the reason why 💀

[wise forge]

alr

[scarlet lodge]

felt that

i took the entry spanish college class this summer

and i needed my mom's help but i felt bad asking her so i ended up checking my work most of the time with google

[cinder gorge]

You should use spanish dict

[scarlet lodge]

yeaa i plan on doing that for the vocab

i took middle school spanihs so i knew like half the words already

[gentle nimbus]

What do you see yourself as in the next ten years?

Then I sounds like med school and engineering is what you need

Both are very rigorous and props to you if you can pull all of that

Including bio

Probably medical studies

It aligns more with what you actually want to do

Well if you care about it then no

[north quarry]

Stanford.

[deft swift]

MIT, CMU, or Stanford

[cinder gorge]

^ UC Berkeley too

[sage bolt]

What is the best schools for engineering

[cinder gorge]

Google

cmu is ranked #1

[hexed flicker]

I thought stanford was the best

[cinder gorge]

first of all

it literally doesnt matter where u go for cs

second

cmu is better than stanford for cs

17.3% isn’t high…

[cinder gorge]

It depends on each person

[hexed flicker]

Its high

[cinder gorge]

Some people may like cmu more, other may prefer Stanford

Stanford isn’t an Ivy

stanford is a good school sure

And also, I would do some further research on acceptance rates

but mosty ppl arent gonna go there

like very raaareee

Because I did, and there’s some surprising things that they do

Yeah what Ral said

You know you can always google, right?

And this is the course selection

#💡ㆍacademic-advice would be better

Or better yet #majors

All good

[cinder gorge]

So do i take the difficult classes?

[cinder gorge]

If you think you’re up for it

Not everyone is ready though freshman year and that’s completely ok

I can push myself

[fossil tiger]

should i take ap bio this year?

[alpine ridge]

is it more useful to take honors spanish or ap latin?

[fossil tiger]

useful would be honors spanish

[wise forge]

AP Latin could get you the seal of biliteracy, but Honors Spanish might be more useul in terms of college

[cinder gorge]

What grade are you going into and have you taken chem?

[cinder gorge]

Then do it

[fossil tiger]

i will be a junior and yes i took chem

[cinder gorge]

I agree that honors spanish would be more useful, but if you can, taking AP Latin, as said above, will get you the seal of biliteracy

[cinder gorge]

Are you interested in it?

[fossil tiger]

i mean kind of. when i took reg bio as a freshman it was fun

although it was a bit difficult i was able to learn it

[cinder gorge]

Hmm, if you feel like you can handle it and then it’s worth it, then you should

[alpine ridge]

i am already bilingual, will being trilingual be much more impressive? and for more background info, i’ve already taken latin for two years and intend to major in business

[fossil tiger]

alr, ig i will consider it. though i am already taking ap comp sci principles, ap physics and ap eng lang

thank you

[cinder gorge]

I think that being trilingual is impressive, yes

[cinder gorge]

AP CSP is really easy, so AP physics and lang will probably be your hardest

I would take AP bio

[fossil tiger]

ok thank you

[cinder gorge]

Np and gl!

[sharp basalt]

Which one is better, ap world or ap euro? I chose ap world and I’m going into 10th grade.

[cosmic lynx]

How do I start selecting🤑

[ionic axle]

i would say whichever ur more interested in if u don’t really like either of the options i would ask some upperclassman how the class was and choose the eaiser one

[cinder gorge]

AP euro is better as you can earn credit at more colleges compared to world

The overlap of material is fairly high, euro just goes way more in depth

I’d say about 80% is overlap, but it’s easier if you take euro first because the world content is more broad

[sharp basalt]

Ok ty

[plucky crane]

Yall take AP Lang if you can it is so worth it and helpful (If your teacher is good) it improved my wiritng skills a lot

[snow wadi]

Is self studying ap bio a good idea?

[elder rivet]

There are a lot of factors that go into this:

1. Why do you want to self study bio? Is it because you have an interest in it and can’t take it in school or bc it’s an extra AP?
2. Do you have time to self study it? Are you taking a difficult course load? If you are, it might be best to stick to what you have

Colleges want to see that you are challenging yourself, but you could be doing an extracurricular that you are passionate about in the time it would probably take you to self study bio. Doing something you are passionate about is more important than an extra AP

[cinder gorge]

Does harvard accept Duolingo English test Results?

[stone epoch]

ud have to check their guidelines

[tardy talon]

Probably not lolo

[cinder gorge]

^

[limpid crescent]

look it up on their website

[gentle nimbus]

no lol

[little tree]

Hey I’m new here but I want to ask y’all a question. Do you think a major in journalism, cinema arts or communications is a good career path?

[runic nexus]

It’s what ever you feel the most passionate about and know you can thrive in

[cinder gorge]

(This one’s long, be prepared)

I’m gonna speak from a salary/workplace perspective. I personally think they’re pretty mediocre to downright bad majors to go into due to plenty of factors:
-Being too general, especially true for cinema arts and communications. Majors that are too general are bad for employment, since employers like to see that you’ve specialized in a certain skill, rather than being decent in a number of skills. The one-trick pony wins.
-Poor job outlook. You’re not gonna be able to pay off debt with a poor paying job, or well, no job at all. It’s very hard to get into the cinema or journalism industry, and once you do, salaries and working conditions aren’t that great unless you’re a famous actor or something. As for communications? I literally cannot think of any job or industry that needs someone with a communications degree. I’ll be happy to be proven wrong though.
-Generally, you don’t need a degree for these fields to get into them. Yea it’s useful, but you could easily teach yourself and get employed without it, rather than waste thousands of dollars of debt.

If you really needed to choose out of these 3 majors, choose journalism. Still kinda mediocre but if you put tons of work in, you could do some great stuff with the degree. Otherwise, you probably should choose another major or minor in one of these if you’re really passionate about them. I’ve seen tons of people go into debt from these kinds of majors, and although I definitely think you should follow your passions, you also need to take into account the future that you build yourself up by following that passion.

[gentle nimbus]

Stay away from art degrees

Unless you enjoy debt

[little tree]

Thanks for your opinion! I was worried about salary and debt problems in the future. I will take those perspectives in to consideration!

I’m guessing that a history major is also useless lol…

[gentle nimbus]

I can't really think of any jobs where you'd need a history major

[cinder gorge]

• journalism is dying

Sad but true

[cinder gorge]

I guess you may be able to go to polisci

If you’re dedicated about being a historian then they can earn some good money I think

[cinder gorge]

I mean it depends on what you want to do with it

[cinder gorge]

Yep, that too.

[gentle nimbus]

Isn't that a different major?

[cinder gorge]

^ and write books

[cinder gorge]

Yes

But they have a lot of similarity

[little tree]

These are my top career paths

1. Broadcaster for NBC, ABC, CBS, etc
2. Hollywood (my dream but you know…)
3. Foreign Journalist
4. Producer for music (also a dream lol)

They’re all horrible aren’t they?😂😂😂

[cinder gorge]

No not at all. Ain’t horrible if it’s your passion.

[cinder gorge]

Nah

You just have to work extremely hard, be talented, and have luck on your side

Connections too

[little tree]

It’s just because as a Asian I have all these expectations in math and I’m horrible at math so these are my dream jobs

I’ve been slowly making connections and my online oortfolio

Portfolio

[cinder gorge]

💀 stereotypes

[little tree]

💀

[cinder gorge]

That’s good to know. That portfolio gonna be great in the future.

[little tree]

🥹thanks!

[cinder gorge]

Np

[little tree]

I mean not to be selfish but at 14 years old and abt to be a freshmen? I think im better(?) prepared then other kids but who knows

[cinder gorge]

You definitely are if you’re already figuring out your major and future.

Though I’m sure other kids may be doing that too, but from my experience, not a lot.

[little tree]

I live and will be attending a high school where the kids are SUPER competitive

[cinder gorge]

Oof

That’s the exact opposite of my school; not a lot of kids care about their future.

[little tree]

But I’m used to it

[cinder gorge]

Could we like switch schools or something lol, I need the competition.

It’s in my blood

[little tree]

YES PLEASE

I NEED LESS COMPETITIVE KIDS

[cinder gorge]

Lol, if only.

[little tree]

Yeah

Well it was nice talking with you

[cinder gorge]

Yeah, you too

[little tree]

TheRealYun, out!

[cinder gorge]

See ya

[cinder gorge]

Ayo sammeeee

[cinder gorge]

Freshman college??!!! Or highschool? Cuz in my area you would be 14-15 entering highschool (minus the two prodigies that are frickin 12😅😓)

Pretty sure he means high school

[gentle nimbus]

I think you mean egoistic, not selfish

[cosmic linden]

If i went to an ivy league, I'd totally major in history. you could still go into investment banking/law degree/even an MD if you complete the prereqs

even if you do cs or whatever you'll rarely ever need any theory(which is the crux of a university education)

[astral mantle]

how many courses would you guys say are sufficient

[wise forge]

What do you mean?

[astral mantle]

in most college applications I've seen they ask you about the courses you've taken and some information about them

I just wanna know how many courses would be optimal to talk about in my application

unless the courses aren't really THAT crucial

[wise forge]

Talk about your most rigorous courses and the ones that apply to your major.

Don't talk about physics if you're majoring in art history

Idk if there is an optimal number

[astral mantle]

ah ok

thank you

[little tree]

High school 😅😅😅😅

Not THAT smart…

[still ibex]

actually-

[gentle nimbus]

it's normal to be 14 as a freshman

[little tree]

Exactly…?

[gentle nimbus]

so why did you think you were being selfish?

[quiet arrow]

i’m 13 and a rising freshman

[cinder gorge]

2009?

[quiet arrow]

didn’t skip any grades or anything though

2008

just a september birthday LMAO

[cinder gorge]

LOL
u can still flex tho💀

[quiet arrow]

yeah lol

[little tree]

Idk I have self confidence issues 😅😅😅😅

[gentle nimbus]

Flex what?

I'm so confused

Going to high school at 13-15 is the normal age

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

[cinder gorge]

Why does it matter? You should focus on being the best you can be

In that case, I was 14 in my precalc class 💀 made no difference even though there were 18 year olds there

[little tree]

HAVING EXPECTATIONS SUCK

[cinder gorge]

What happened?

That’s fine

People in 11th vary from 15-17

[cinder gorge]

Like if you're smart

[little tree]

Asian, strict-ish parents, competitive school district, etc

[gentle nimbus]

But going to high school at 13 doesn't make you smart

In that case, that means most of the population is smart

[cinder gorge]

That's why I said if

So there's a possibility

That

You're

Not

Smart

Academically* THO

[gentle nimbus]

You didn't understand my statement

Going to high school at 13 is average

Normal

Average does not = smart

[cinder gorge]

Yes

That's why you can flex if you're smart and the others are average but you're the same age

[gentle nimbus]

This is a weird hill to die on

You said he could still flex

But he never flexed anything

So your statements make no sense

[cinder gorge]

Ya I said that cuz another person was saying how they think they're doing better than the others cuz they're 14 and a freshman?

[gentle nimbus]

Ok, this is a waste of time for the both of us

Have a nice day

[cinder gorge]

Same to you...

[cinder gorge]

I feel you

But at some point, you’ll realize that all that matters is that you met your expectations

[cinder gorge]

People can flex if they’re smart no matter what age they are…

[cinder gorge]

That’s stupid

Yea it is I realize that now

[cinder gorge]

You’re if flexing that you’re smart compared to people who are average, that’s just someone who needs an ego boost to add to their already immense ego

[cinder gorge]

Age really doesn’t matter tbh

Especially that small of a difference

Yep I agree now

Great

[deft grove]

Is taking AP Chem my Junior year a mistake?

[errant pasture]

Not if ur ready.

[winter sphinx]

This might sound a bit weird and probably very odd but do you guys have tips to learn all/most of algebra 2 in two weeks? I’ve been using khan academy but I feel like they might’ve missed some topics + I live in Texas so there might be some curriculum differences. I need to take a test for it to prove my mastery and I’m not very confident I’ll do well 😭😭

I want to take precal this year (10th grade) so I can take calc next year (11th grade) so I’ll be calculus ready by the time I apply to college

[cinder gorge]

I would reach out to a teacher you’ve had or will have and ask them for their algebra 2 curriculum to double check what exactly you need to work on. I live in California and my algebra 2 class was very irregular, so I can’t really give guidance regarding concepts, but it’s extremely helpful to have a strong algebra foundation for precalc

[cinder gorge]

What do you mean calculus ready?

[winter sphinx]

i was at a university near me for a game dev camp and they said that they require people to be “calculus ready” by the time they apply to some specific majors (ex. geology)

[winter sphinx]

you’re right! but we are still on summer break rn so im not sure when they’ll see the email 😦 but i did email my counselor so I’m just waiting for her reply!!

[cinder gorge]

Ah alright, I’m not sure geology requires calculus, but taking calculus your senior year would make you just as ready

[cinder gorge]

Ah ok, I’m sorry, I hope they see it soon!! Gl, I would just keep working on khan and master all those concepts

[winter sphinx]

that was my original plan, but the uni said that it must be by the time u apply and since im planning on applying early, i have to have calc down

yeah I didn’t think geology needed calculus either!!! it was def weird

[cinder gorge]

That’s quite odd, I would double check with someone

[cinder gorge]

Perhaps it does? I mean, if anything, I would think stats is more important for geology

[winter sphinx]

they were an admissions counselor themselves though so 😭 but i think that there must be some alternative if you didn’t take calc in hs

[winter sphinx]

ahhh tysm!!

[cinder gorge]

Ohh ok, I would listen to them then

[cinder gorge]

Ofc!!

[sharp river]

Is it worth it to take AP Computer Science Principles as a Senior??

[wise forge]

Grade weight 🤷‍♂️ More rigiorous course would look better

[astral mantle]

what do you guys think of Udemy courses

Are they worth it? I'm thinking about taking a few for my applications

And it would be great if anyone can suggest some courses in Maths/Physics related to Aerospace engineering

nvm Udemy doesn't offer certificates

suggestions for some nice courses would be appreciated

[hearty stratus]

im a korean citizen thats living in korea. im planning to take korean B standard level for ib dp. i can easily get a 7, and my school allowed me to take rhis couse. will this negatively affect me when applying to college?

[cinder gorge]

It will not negatively affect you when applying to colleges but also not really increase your chances of acceptance, you're good. don't worry about that too much

[hearty stratus]

thank you 🙂

[mint current]

Hello! I am currently an incoming sophomore and trying to figure out what to do with my schedule. This is my current choice of classes.

1. Chamber Orchestra
2. Symphony Orchestra
3. AP Psych
4. AP World
5. AP Seminar
6. AP Eng Comp
7. Dual Enrollment Earth space science (online)
8. Precalculus

My current dilemma is that our precalculus teacher who was the same teacher for algebra 2 which I took last year is awful, I passed the course with an A somehow and concepts were easy, however, she made it really difficult to get a good grade, explained simple concepts in the most confusing manner, and also made pretty ridiculous tests which were worth 100 times the amount of actual assignments in our grades . If I take precalculus with her I can't guarantee that I'll be able to pass with an A based on how she does things. I really want to take it online and have the option to but I'm not sure if it would be too hard. If it isn't that bad I would definitely opt for that. I'm also debating on if I should add AP Lang or remove it from my schedule.

[primal birch]

I want to take AP German, but my school does not offer AP German. I searched on College Board's website and they said to request from other schools. Is this effective?

[quiet arrow]

if she teaches things incorrectly/confusingly, you can learn the material online whilst taking the class in person

[thorny kestrel]

Opt for online precalculus. From experience, online shouldnt be too hard. Definitely the better option than getting the same teacher again for a harder course

[mint current]

Yes I would opt for that however she also makes 100 point tests and 1-5 point homework assignments meaning one bad test grade and you're done

The tests are also between 8-12 questions leaving little to no room for mistakes

[mint current]

Alright I'll talk to my counselor and schedule a study lab period. Also, should I add AP eng comp? I feel confident in my abilities to read and write English but not sure if I should add the extra load

If anyone has experience from the class and is able to let me know about the work load that comes with the class that would be great

[quiet arrow]

ah

[cinder gorge]

Am I doing good for credits? (I’m starting my Sophomore Year on Monday and there’s my current schedule)

lmk if i need to explain anything on my schedule or credits :))

[thorny kestrel]

AP english composition?

[fluid current]

I took Ap Seminar and Ap Literature and Composition in my sophomore year and it was honestly a nightmare, I would just take one english class

[cinder gorge]

Looks great!

[cinder gorge]

my updated credits/classes list

the sad thing is that idk if i’m even going to college yet i’m trying so hard ;-;

[mint current]

Wait, is AP seminar considered an English class?

I thought it was just considered as an elective research class

If so I'll swap it out for something else in my schedule

[fluid current]

Its alot of research and presentations so yeah it would be an English class

[fluid current]

Wait it depends what do you wanna do in the future

For me since I'm trynna go into pre med so I wish I'd not taken Ap literature and Composition

[mint current]

I go to an arts school specialized in fine arts but I'm currently debating on either law or engineering. Unfortunately it's the best school in the county so I have no other options for stem courses. I took AP bio my freshman year and that's it in terms of stem APs.

[fluid current]

Ah I see

[mint current]

We have about 12-14 AP offerings

[fluid current]

Dang thats good lmao

[mint current]

Problem is we only have one stem AP

[fluid current]

Uhh i mean ap seminar would probably be better than ap English comp for both law and engineering

[mint current]

Do you have experience on precalculus?

[fluid current]

Is it required that you take ap comp?

[fluid current]

I took honors precalc sophomore year

It was pretty hard imo

[mint current]

No, but colleges recommend 4 years of English and I hate honors English because of how stupid the curriculum is

That's why I rather take AP

[fluid current]

Yeah wait then I think Ap seminar, talk to your counselor to see if Ap seminar will count as English because in most universities they do

[mint current]

If AP seminar is considered English and can fill the gap of a year less of English then I'll take AP Lang next year and AP lit senior

[fluid current]

Yeah thats the move honestly

[mint current]

I was most worried about there being a hole in terms of English on my transcript

[fluid current]

Nahhh u good lol

[mint current]

My teacher for it sucks I had her for algebra 2 and was wondering if I could pull it off online

[fluid current]

Yo wait after ap seminar its ap research

[mint current]

I'll probably take research and Lang next year together

[fluid current]

If you have the choice I would do online

Precalc sucked lmao

[mint current]

If I passed algebra 2 with an A with a horrible teacher do you think I could do well with precalc online?

[fluid current]

Yeah I personally got A- in alg 2 both sem lmao

U should be good

[mint current]

How was your teacher in precalculus?

[fluid current]

Bad.

Like she never prepared us enough

Literally everyone is taking it over the summer rn

Because they earned C+ or below

[mint current]

Same for us

We had weekly tests lol

In the 2nd semester

Which almost nobody passed with A's

And I think that explained why I had a low A in the class

[fluid current]

Yeah if you got A in algebra 2

Then u should be good online

[mint current]

Are there any ridiculous concepts in precalc I should watch out for?

If you remember any names that would be great

I'd like to look at them if possible

[fluid current]

Yeah thats a good mindset

So projectile motion

Trigonometry formulas

Polar graphs

Those are the noticeably hard stuff

Conics

Like hyperbolas, ellipses knowing a,b,c,e(which is just c/a)

[frozen laurel]

I've been trying to decide whether I should take AP Calculus AB or BC this year. If I take BC, I would only have three years of math in high school and I would take AP Econ instead. Would it be better to take both AP calc classes, for four years of math, or take only BC and then econ and only have three years of math.

I'm planning on going into engineering/astrophysics if that changes your answer

[cinder gorge]

Nah it was easy

I really liked it because it required little effort from me

[cinder gorge]

We did too the whole year

[cinder gorge]

Those were all pretty decent

Conics were fairly simple even though no one had learned them in algebra 2

[cinder gorge]

Why don’t you take a college math class?

[frozen laurel]

Like dual enrollment?

[cinder gorge]

Yes

[mint current]

do dual enrollment classes fill gaps in not taking an AP in a core subject in the eyes of top colleges?

[mint current]

I watched an example/explanation of a projectile motion problem and it seems straightforward

[fluid current]

Wait are yall taking regular or honors

[mint current]

im going to take honors precalc

[fluid current]

Oh then u must be smart lmao

Those examples were like the hardest for me

[mint current]

they don't offer regular classes at our school

[fluid current]

Oh wow

[mint current]

I mean

in the example problem it felt like they just kept factoring

and simplifying

which didn't feel too difficult

or perhaps I just found something easier

[frozen laurel]

ok ill look into dual enrollment options, are you thinking like dalc bc this year and then do a college math class via dual enrollment next year?

[vivid geode]

So next year ( junior year in about 2-3 weeks ) I’m taking apush chemistry algebra 2 Spanish 2 English 11 and health and pe 2

Senior year I don’t have to take health and pe

[vivid geode]

And intro to business and marketing I believe

[vivid geode]

And even tho I suck in Spanish I have to take it to get an advance diploma

I’m also gonna take ap Econ senior year with whatever ap comes after apush

[grand plaza]

Question is it a good idea to do yearbook/journalism in high school for my tech credits (going into 8th but my district requires a four year plan due in November and they pass them out after school starts which’s is August 23 which is the earliest date that our state will allow)

[rose maple]

Doing journalism at my school helped me learn how to edit videos properly, but that’s about it. If you’ve got nothing better to take, go for it, it’s fun.

[grand plaza]

Ok. In this case, you’ll need to do journalism before you do yearbook/ the school newspaper and idk why so that’s why I’m asking.

[rose maple]

I’ve never taken yearbook but I’d figure that they’d want writers to have experience with creative writing

[grand plaza]

I’ve taken it last year and it was quite fun and easy but designing the pages are quite hard too and my yearbook team got hated on for having so many mistakes which like half of it isn’t our fault cuz it was a printing issue or bc parents signed w/ the district my child can’t be in any pictures anywhere or the company just screwed up bc the yearbook company puts in the portraits for us.

[rose maple]

rip

[quiet arrow]

they’re making children who just started eighth grade create a four year plan????

[hoary tusk]

Hi…I am entering grade 9!!!I wanted some help in choosing the subject

My interest
——————

• science
• maths

Anything would help!

[wise forge]

Honors tracks for both

[wise laurel]

Double on bio and chem freshman yr or do ap stats if ur schools allows

[languid crown]

should i take ap psych or ap micro sophomore year?

i'm also doing ap cs a

[hoary tusk]

Will do thakns

[cinder gorge]

Whichever you’re interested in

[languid crown]

i wanna take both lolll

maybe i'll take micro/macro and cs a this year, and then psych and ush next yr

since macro and micro lots of the topics are interchangeable apparently

[cinder gorge]

Maybe a good idea

[high citrus]

Ok so I’m thinking of majoring in biomedical, mechanical, or electrical engineering and i need help deciding if i should switch a course.

For some background, I am a rising senior and already have experience in science classes that I’ve passed courses such as pathophysiology/medical microbiology, regular bio, AP Bio, and regular physics, regular chem, and i plan on taking ap chem in my senior year.

Basically i wanted to decide whether i should take a python computing course elective kinda class or a genetics/bioethics class.

[cinder gorge]

I think you should take the python course since it’s important to know how to code in all 3 of your desired careers.

[high citrus]

Thank you for the advice

[rare ruin]

I already choose my classes and it was very last minute bc my school is very poorly managed. We were only given a few min to choose and weren’t told what classes we could take and I’m very confused on what to expect. So far I chose:

Mechanic if u like design and developing a ton electrical if you like test the electrical parts of things and biomedical is biology and healthcare combined to make all sorts of stuff so if you like that stuff go ahead

I’m going into 9th grade and I was wondering for my second elective if I should do ap physic or band, ik thag 4 years of band looks good but I also want to get as many ap’s as possible, so any help?

[hazy pike]

Oh i just saw this

I have a question. Should I take Pre-Calc 11 over foundations? Does pre-calc give my a higher chance of getting into college?

[grand plaza]

Do whatever you enjoy or you could do 2 years of each

[wise forge]

Only do band if you enjoy it. Please. I do band, and disliked being in it when there are people who aren't motivated by more intrinsic factors besides wanting it for a college app.

Same with any class that requires a commitment.

[wise forge]

what?

Pre-calc ofc looks good to get into college.

I don;t know what you mean by foundations.

[cinder gorge]

It depends on your major. What is foundations? If you go down the stats route and you’re not in stem, you’ll be fine

Hey guys I was wondering if I complete khan academy courses will they be accepted as real courses or do I need to go out and find payed options

Can anyone pls help

[narrow lake]

Anyone here??

[pastel trench]

If you want it to be considered as a course you have completed you need to receive a certificate of sorts which as far as I’m know khan academy doesn’t offer. However it will help you with you academics, school studies.
