[wintry saddle]

unc is better imo go tarheels

[lone lion]

@clear coral

[clear coral]

damn

[clear coral]

cs is very competitive

[lone lion]

i got a 3 in ap computer science princ

im so dumb

thats so sad

[desert lantern]

i got an offer to play soccer for one of the florida colleges

but my mom made me reject that school

[rough patio]

Harvard and MIT are 5 minutes from my house, so it’s atmosphere is so underwhelming as compared to someone who lives out of state

[lone lion]

LOL

[clear coral]

tf

[wintry saddle]

unc only has like 25% out of state students or smth

[clear coral]

they already accepting ppl?

[desert lantern]

and im hoping to get another offer from UF for a soccer scholarship

[desert lantern]

scouts

[wintry saddle]

im ngl i act like i dont care abt school but academic validation just hits different

[lone lion]

fr

[rough patio]

Right !

[wintry saddle]

also id be a first gen student

bc everyone else went and dropped out/dropped out to get married 💀 or never went

[desert lantern]

btw

do first gens have a higher advantage in college apps over legacies

[rough patio]

depends on the school

[wintry saddle]

im ngl i think legacies usually have an advantage at ivys

unc is very first gen forward tho

[rough patio]

My Grandpa was an economics professor at Northeastern for 30 years and my cousin got rejected, this a kid with an above average gpa as well. So for NE Gen has better chances, can’t say the same for Harvard

[desert lantern]

is NE hard to get into?

[wintry saddle]

oh wow

[desert lantern]

i have it on my list

but im thinking of going regular decision

when i get rejected from cornell ED

[rough patio]

I mean 20% so not Harvard hard. But it’s still selective

[desert lantern]

hmm

what do yall think of UF

[rough patio]

What’s that ?

[wintry saddle]

im ngl i know next to nothing abt uf

[desert lantern]

university of florida

31%

51% for instate

[wintry saddle]

oo with a gpa like yours that shouldnt be too hard

that could be your safety school or smth

[rough patio]

Personally I’d get the hell out of Florida, but u shouldn’t have a problem getting in

[wintry saddle]

LMAO

bro you have beef with florida 💀

[desert lantern]

4.8 gpa being held down by a 1320 sat

sad

[wintry saddle]

i mean 5 days is the next test

[rough patio]

Indeed. Disney World and Miami can suck it

[wintry saddle]

also a lot of schools are test optional

[rough patio]

I only vibe with Naples

[wintry saddle]

i love Panama city

[desert lantern]

"optional"

thats what they all say

[wintry saddle]

yeah yeah but like you could just super score

[desert lantern]

ik better

[wintry saddle]

so just focus hard on your english

[rough patio]

Three kids at my school got into Harvard without it sooo….

[wintry saddle]

youve already gotten a stellar math score

[desert lantern]

1200 (600 split)
1320 (600 reading + 720 math)

no superscore difference LMAO

[desert lantern]

wtf

how

[wintry saddle]

are you taking the one on saturday?

[desert lantern]

yea

and prolly the one in nov too

[rough patio]

No clue. One girl got into Yale without it as well

[desert lantern]

all in ur school?

[rough patio]

Correct. It’s really competitive

[wintry saddle]

im ngl colleges look at involvement in clubs/sports too like things youre doing in the community too

[desert lantern]

jeez, if i was the principal of ur school, id be happy af that 4 of my students got into ivys

how big is ur school btw

graduating class?

[wintry saddle]

or they couldve just been legacies

[rough patio]

200 kids per class so about 900 kids in total

It’s not that big

[desert lantern]

bigger than mine wtf

i got 50 ppl in my class

[rough patio]

What?!

[wintry saddle]

900 is a lot wydm

[desert lantern]

2k in 6-12th grade

[rough patio]

Usually at least 6-7 get in per class

[wintry saddle]

damnnn

[desert lantern]

[rough patio]

Where’d she end up going ?

[desert lantern]

UM full ride

but how tf did she got accepted to Columbia

[rough patio]

Oh boo hooo

Lolll

[desert lantern]

even UF thought she wouldn't even consider it so rejected her cuz of space

[rough patio]

Yielded her

[wintry saddle]

idk dude you can be super smart and do everything right and still not get in

[desert lantern]

uf thought that she was too good for UF so they rejected her cuz they thought she was applying to UF for lols

and i died when they told her that

[wintry saddle]

oh btw i have the option to do dual enrollment next year should i

[desert lantern]

yes

short classes, big benefits

basically another ap class gpa boost

[rough patio]

It’s so scary that one can be rejected from their safety because their to good but then they have the potential of getting rejected everywhere else

[wintry saddle]

alr alr

[desert lantern]

fr

FIU is my safety and the AO already offered me a full ride for soccer but my mom's gonna kill me if i do

[wintry saddle]

[rough patio]

Take that back

[wintry saddle]

white blonde blue eyes

[rough patio]

Compare Chris Pine, Ryan Gosling, and Chris Evans, they all have individualistic jawlines and cheekbones

Get with the program !!!

omg youre so right i shouldve realized 😔

[rough patio]

Thank you for recognizing ur ignorance

[wintry saddle]

ofc

im ngl tho i dont like blondes or blue eyes 💀

[rough patio]

Wut

[wintry saddle]

ive never met a nice blonde

[rough patio]

No blondes are so nice

[desert lantern]

bro

not to be mea

but is it true that all blondes are stupid

[wintry saddle]

LMAO

[rough patio]

I’m not blonde I don’t take offense

[desert lantern]

like ive heard abt it but ive never rlly understood

[wintry saddle]

i dont think so

its bc women who are blonde are seen as bimbos or smth

[desert lantern]

like is it genetic or just prejudice

[wintry saddle]

bc like in movies hyper femme women were always blonde and dumb

[desert lantern]

but....lisa....blackpink....hot

[wintry saddle]

and the "quirky" girls were brown haired or smth

[rough patio]

Most woman with bright blonde hair aren’t natural. Which many see as them caring more about their appearnce then their knowledge

[wintry saddle]

youre a blink??

[desert lantern]

no lol

just that shes hot and thats it

[wintry saddle]

[desert lantern]

gohar

if u see this

it was all phoenix's fault

[velvet parcel]

Will I die if I do AP physics on top of 3 other ap classes

[torpid wing]

what are the other three

crap i gotta go, hope someone else can help

[clever hull]

You'll probably be okay, depending on what the other ap classes are. It may be a couple hours of homework but you should be alright

[velvet parcel]

apush
stats
lang

[wintry saddle]

💀 absolutely not

[stoic timber]

What's the best subject to drop if u are not clear abt what ur gonna do in the future out of
Math
Economics
Science(if u pick science along with biology chemistry and physics you have to pick one of these) :
Computer Science
Political Science
Commercial Science

[cinder gorge]

Commercial science is not really suitable!

[cinder gorge]

Rest will be depend on your choice and which best fits your mind.

[pine crown]

I am currently taking high school physics honors, with the intent to take AP Physics C next year, however all of the content in our class this year alligns pretty closely with the AP Physics 1 exam. I am not sure if i should register to do it, people going into stem usually dont get credit for AP physics 1 and 2, but would it look good? i also think physics is fun

[austere tulip]

Yeah it definitely would look good

Just a heads up tho

It has the lowest pass rate

A little more than 50%

So like half

But if you are genuinely enthusiastic about physics go ahead

[pine crown]

it depends how busy i am probably, cause im taking other aps too so ill be studying for them
and im taking both physics c exams next year

[bitter shell]

Do you guys think taking Financial Algebra is worth it for next year?

I would've taken Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, and Accounting by then

[lone lion]

hi

ok

[lone lion]

we dont get offered that

soo idk what it is

but if ur into finance and business related then take ti

[bitter shell]

from what I heard it's really easy and really simple, and basically anything uses a calculator

[echo mirage]

Has anyone here taken AP psychology? How is it, is it interesting, is the course hard, how's the paid exam at the end of the year, and best way to study? Thanks

[next silo]

Hello

People, which the best course to who want enter in MIT?

[mint thorn]

Do you just want to get into mit or do you want to do what mit is known for?

Because like going into MIT as a creative writing major means that you have a LOT less competition

But they’re not as good at that

[next silo]

I want to get into MIT

[mint thorn]

Then yeah do like a super niche geology major or something

[next silo]

Understood

[cinder gorge]

Usually you are applying for whole school not for particular major so, they will offer you the place based on your application how much it will be strong. Choosing a major will be depending on your choice which could be best fit for you and in which you can move forward and achieve your goals so, just try to decide properly which major you wanna go for where anyone can't judge you to choose one.

[next silo]

Ok. I would want one major focused in math, sciences and technology. Which major you me recommend ?

[cinder gorge]

Which one is your personal choice?

[next silo]

I choose nothing so far

[cinder gorge]

Try to decide byself which one can be best fit for you and through which you can achieve your future goals, as i can say anyone can't judge you to take this majors to get into MIT and you can still get into MIT by choosing a major on the basis of your own choice if they are offering that particular major.

[next silo]

Thanks man.Where do you see the courses you have to enter Mit?

Yeah, there are & try to choose which one will be best fit for you.

[next silo]

Ok

But, all this is inside MIT or are courses to you to make to be approved in MIT?

[cinder gorge]

MIT is officially offering these courses.

[next silo]

Incredible. So, I can make this courses same not standing inside Mit?

[next silo]

??

[cinder gorge]

Could you rephrase it? i didn't catch it, inside MIT?

[next silo]

I can make those courses same not standing inside MIT?

[cinder gorge]

Yes!

[next silo]

Nice!

Thanks

[echo mirage]

Has anyone here taken AP psychology? How is it, is it interesting, is the course hard, how's the paid exam at the end of the year, and best way to study? Thanks

[torpid wing]

my brother is taking ap psych, he says it’s really interesting and it’s cool learning about the weird experiments they do in the name of science. other than that i don’t have much more knowledge about the course

[cinder gorge]

If I do university non ap math in high school, would I need to retake it in when in college or would the credit transfer?

[spiral condor]

im doing physics and i was curious to whether or not i should do a programming class or chemistry class?

[cinder gorge]

Why do you need to retake your AP?

[cinder gorge]

Chemistry would be relevant.

[spiral condor]

programming is also extremely useful in physics and at this point maybe even a core skill

although the knowledge is chemistry is also extremely beneficial

[cinder gorge]

So, where are you best fit?

[spiral condor]

could you elaborate?

[cinder gorge]

Your personal preference will matter otherwise chemistry is also relevant and good.

[spiral condor]

i enjoy both and ive gotten recommendations from both departments

i did skip a year of programming because i was told id be absolutely be fine skipping a year and coming back to it

[cinder gorge]

Oh, you should decide based on your own choice like which will be best fit for you.

[cinder gorge]

for university classes that are non- ap such as multivariable calc and linear algebra, I'm asking if I'd need to retake those

[cinder gorge]

No, i don't think so you need to retake it but it depends on school to school i would like to say you are fine!

ok! thanks

[cinder gorge]

I would like to suggest you chemistry and if your best preference is programing then it's also good!

[spiral condor]

i could do both but that would mean giving up my advanced math class

which i doubt is the best idea

[cinder gorge]

Programming although I'm biased

[cinder gorge]

If you can manage then you can go for it!

[cinder gorge]

Btw, can you manage it?

[spiral condor]

if i do both that means i cannot do my other math class

but im not going to drop that one im afraid

[cinder gorge]

What grade are you in giz?

[cinder gorge]

I would like to say don't overburden yourself, if you can't manage the both and on the other side other math classes are required to take then i would like to recommend and suggest you to go for that one which is more lenient for you.

[crimson zephyr]

Whats a good course to take if you wanna get into photography/media?

[cinder gorge]

Although it is not required to have come from particular background in high school for apply to particular major any major you are free to apply after high school graduation but still, it depends on your high school system which courses they are offering for this kind of major.

[chrome summit]

i’m a junior in hs and i have 5 ap classes so far including the ones this year

one sophomore year and 4 junior year

i plan to take 5 senior year so i can have 10 total

i tried to get ap lang this year but it didn’t work for my schedule

i feel like colleges wouldn’t like that i wanst in an honors/ap english class my whole hs career

should i take ap lit senior year?

i highkey don’t wanna take it but if colleges will want me to take atleast one ap english class then i’ll take it

[turbid turret]

If I want to be a teacher what courses should I choose for college apps/the future?

[quiet arrow]

usually they’re included in the same class but sometimes trig is included in precalc

[obtuse galleon]

I would say not a big deal if your major has nothing to do with English tbh you're taking a lot of aps already

If you can handle it go ahead

[chrome summit]

i’m tryna do aerospace engineering

my engkish act is like a 34-35

so i’m chillin ig

idk man

[cinder gorge]

I want to be a Tutor in French Language and English language. Should I do MA English or MEd?

[chrome summit]

this shit stressful ong

[obtuse galleon]

35 is pretty mad good tbh

[raven kindle]

I think AP Lit gives like 6 College Credits right

[chrome summit]

6 😳

[raven kindle]

ye

Atleast thats what my school told me

[obtuse galleon]

curious what did you do to get to a 35 eng

[raven kindle]

Im going to get 6 if I take the class

[chrome summit]

bro it’s easy trust

just do a ton of practice tests

and go over them thought after

i did 2 a week

[obtuse galleon]

im not taking the act ima take the sat but honestly im so mid in english

[chrome summit]

so 1 section a day spread out though the week

which left 2 break days

and then one day on the weekend i would do a whole act

[obtuse galleon]

alright thanks

[chrome summit]

i’m pretty sure act engkihs and act in general is a lot easier

[chrome summit]

fsfs

what grade you in?

[obtuse galleon]

11th

[chrome summit]

same

[obtuse galleon]

ive been struggling to do my homework tbh with all the stuff happening, legitimately cant find time

[chrome summit]

nah i feel you

[obtuse galleon]

so it gets overwhelming

[chrome summit]

fax

[obtuse galleon]

my grades have dropped significantly from last year although my gpa is up because im taking all advanced

but that means everyone elses goes up too

not to mention im 6.2% and actually need to do better than most people which im not accomplishing lol

[chrome summit]

[obtuse galleon]

6% gets you auto admit into uta but with how things going idk

[chrome summit]

[chrome summit]

6%??

[chrome summit]

[cinder gorge]

MA is enough and you can do PhD after it!

[knotty hull]

Hi

[gilded tendon]

Hi anyone from India in 11th or 12th grade? A tenth grader here and I need advice on choosing my stream for next year.

[cinder gorge]

Hey! You can write here!

[gilded tendon]

Hey!

[cinder gorge]

Yes:)

[cinder gorge]

Here's my 4 year plan for high school. I wanted feedback. I know the jump from AP's from sophomore yr to junior is a lot, but i won't enroll into every single one i stated.
*My school doesn't offer many honors classes

[cinder gorge]

How’d you get the summer classes?

[quiet arrow]

solid

[cinder gorge]

Thanks bro

[cinder gorge]

My school offers classes to take over the summer to skip that will count towards your high school transcript. Lets say you are in algebra 1, you can skip geo over the summer, and do algebra 2 in 10th grade

Lucky. Which state?

[mortal minnow]

any advice on what to do if your school limits aps/honors courses to be taken?

[cinder gorge]

self-study for an AP exam as best as you can. Take courses in local colleges or online MOOCs.

[cinder gorge]

@cinder gorge Thank you for your response. I am also interested in French Language, What are the career prospects along with English?

Is it fine if I take ap physics 1 outside of school and take no other physics in high school. We are allowed to take only one science class per year and I am a sophomore rn in Chem h. I want to take Ap Chem and Ap Bio the next two years but I won’t have any physics, I will be doing it online with UC Scout. Is this fine or will colleges view this negatively?

It won’t appear on my school transcript, I will have to send a separate transcript

[primal mica]

Should I take AP lang just to take AP lit? I mean I want to take AP lit just to analyze stuff better but AP lang is terrifying

[crimson parcel]

DM me if you need help. i am a 12th grader, commerce stream.

[austere tulip]

Is this ok for my sophomore year?

1. World lit honors

2. Precalc honors(preferably APprecalc if my high school adds it)

3. AP Chem

4. AP euro

5. French 4

6. Drivers Ed and PE

7. Digital Electronics PLTW

8. Lunch

[wise forge]

what year are you now?

[austere tulip]

Freshman

[wise forge]

likely no AP Preclac

class of 27 or 28 will probably get it

[wise forge]

8th period lunch???

i guess you can eat during class like I do lmao

looks good though

very full schedule

[austere tulip]

No

I just put the classes

I’m planning to take

In sophomore year

[wise forge]

Yeah

Ohhh

[austere tulip]

I won’t have lunch right

Eight

[wise forge]

Ohhh\

alright lol

[austere tulip]

I’ll have it either third fourth fifth or sixth

[wise forge]

only benefit of 8th period lunch would be you can leave school early but some schools don't even allow that lol

my school has a 6 period schedule lol

[austere tulip]

Oh

[wise forge]

yeah so my school doesn't do it

but yeah

[austere tulip]

Wait so 5 classes?

And one lunch

[wise forge]

Nooo

[austere tulip]

Do you guys have early bird or something

[wise forge]

we dont have lunch as a period

[wise forge]

we have a 0 period

[austere tulip]

Oh

[wise forge]

and we have an 8th period, but 8th period is just for marching band or our womens choir and they don't meet everyday

[austere tulip]

Ohhh

[wise forge]

we don't have a 5th period

like literallly its not on the schedule

its just 1234L67

[austere tulip]

Lol

[wise forge]

In 8th grade, I took a lunch class, and it was listed as period L

01234L67

but yeah

Lunch is the 23 minutes inbetween 4 and 6 because they took 4 minutes of it and moved it to a break inbetween 2 and 3

also LUNCH being off center makes me shake

[austere tulip]

Oh

So it is basically 8 periods

[fickle osprey]

has anyone taken ap comp sci principles?

is the class and exam easy?

[fickle osprey]

i dont think colleges really care abt whether you self studied an ap course or not. If you did and got a good score then good you have a good score. If you took the ap class and exam and got good grades in both then great you have good grades and a score.

on the other hand, self studying ap physics 1???

bad idea imo

the exam is known to be the hardest and even those who take the class fail sometimes

im in the class rn and our work is extremely rigorous and we have a lot to cover in a short amt of time

im not discouraging you or anything, but unless if ur a genius kid with plenty of time, i'd stick to taking the class

[molten parrot]

not self studying it is a course

i get high school course credit for it as well

[fickle osprey]

OH

[molten parrot]

just wont show on my high school transcript

[fickle osprey]

my bad then

[fickle osprey]

this will answer ur question then

[molten parrot]

kk thanks

[fickle osprey]

it depends on you and ur time management really

[molten parrot]

yeah that is why my high school counselor told me as well

but I am pretty sure I have enough time

[fickle osprey]

go for it then

[molten parrot]

yeah thanks for the info

[fickle osprey]

np!

best of luck!

[molten parrot]

thank you!

[fickle osprey]

there are no prerequisites for ap lit (may depnd on ur school) but taking ap lang may be a good idea

[primal mica]

alr thx

[fickle osprey]

while i'll admit ap lang is not of interest to those who enjoy analyzing (like me and you), the course teaches fundemental writing skills that are useful for college and can be applied to ap lit

[primal mica]

oh nice

I'll take it

[fickle osprey]

good luck!

[primal mica]

thanks so much!

[austere tulip]

Hey

So is ap lit and lang better or ap seminar and research

[primal mica]

wdym

ap seminar and research is useful for your career (unless you want to be a writer) and ap lit/lang is useful for arguably the most useless major

[tropic trail]

In my school, we have 7 classes each year and we are allowed to take 2 off periods in senior year. I want to go to ut austin, however i am worried that the admissions officers will judge me for taking 2 off periods when I could have been taking a class instead. Do colleges really care if i have 2 off periods?

[cinder gorge]

No, they will not check it and nor they they will consider it. Admission officers will usually look into those subjects which are mentioned on your high school transcripts so, don't stress that out you are fine!

[tropic trail]

Thank you!! I feel much better, i really appreciate it

I am planning to maybe take harder ap classes senior year so i want to compensate by taking off periods

[cinder gorge]

Yeah, that's better if you can take one otherwise you don't need to stress that out,you are fine!

[cinder gorge]

@cinder gorge Thank for the blog recommendation.

[cinder gorge]

You're welcome! Lemme know for further help!

[regal snow]

Hey, Im in middle school taking all high school classes except math, im not sure if i should apply for the highschool class or since its not my best subject, just master the basics
also whats the difference between being in a tag course in 8th grade vs being in a 9th grade course in 8th grade?

[austere tulip]

If it’s not your best subject, that’s fine. Also, a TAG course is either one grade ahead, or is at an accelerated pace. And in middle school, not every course is tag

[austere tulip]

It matters on the college, but if UT Austin is a highly selective college, then they would like to see u take every opportunity u can. I mean even if those two periods are easier…

[cinder gorge]

California

[wise forge]

My school does something similar? Basically if you take Math 2, but want to go to honors math 3, you can do packets over the summer and take a test on the first day and if you score an 85% or higher you get placed.

[tidal estuary]

ut has automatic admission if you're in the top 6% of a public HS in tx, so if that applies to you all you have to worry about is getting the major you want

[bright marlin]

I'm planning to go to The University of Chicago, but I'm not sure what classes to take and what I should do to improve my chances. What should I do?

[tidal estuary]

brooo I want to go there too

my chance of getting in is like 0, but still

[bright marlin]

Why do you think your chances are 0?

[tidal estuary]

from what I've seen online from people who got in, try and find one subject and pursue it/get leadership in it

[tidal estuary]

because the acceptance rate is 7.3

that's a great school but not a great bet

[bright marlin]

Yeah that's why I was asking on how to improve chances, I'm a freshman so I guess it's better to start now then later

[tidal estuary]

true true

I'm a sophomore

what're you interested in?

[bright marlin]

I'm choosing between aviation and medicine

[tidal estuary]

if your school has a program in either of those, do that, but that's kind of obvious

does uchicago have aviation? that's not common

[bright marlin]

I'm not sure but that's my top university I want to go to, northwestern university is a close 2nd

[tidal estuary]

you should definitely Google it, aviation isn't available most places

[bright marlin]

Yeah that's why i may do medicine

[tidal estuary]

fair enough

[cinder gorge]

not exactly a course selection question but do i choose the courses i want to do or the courses my friends took?

[buoyant snow]

the ones you want to do, if you can’t pick from there, factor in your friends’ decisions

[cinder gorge]

I can pick my desired courses but I'm afraid that might make me distant from my friends

[buoyant snow]

then take some that you want and some with your friends

find a balance

[nocturne portal]

Should I take Calculus I or AP Calculus AB? I'm pretty set on taking Calculus I but... I actually don't know why I'm unsure. Personally, I prefer going in depth in the courses I take rather than taking a course with the main focus being the exam at the end of the year. Because of this, I'm leaning towards doing more dual enrollment courses throughout high school than AP. I'm not planning on majoring in or having a career in STEM (I mean, my plan is to become a lawyer lol), but I really enjoy math. My current math plan for high school is:
Freshman: Calculus I / AP Calculus AB
Sophomore: Calculus II / AP Calculus BC
Junior: Linear Algebra (not entirely sure if Linear Algebra is actually taken in two semesters)
Senior: Calculus III / Multivariable Calculus

Sorry, my question isn't really clear. What I'm wondering is how the content of Calculus I compares to the content in AP Calculus AB. Which would be considered easier and which would be more worth it if my goal isn't exactly to score well on an exam but rather understand what's being taught completely. Also, do you receive credits regardless from taking college courses or is that dependent on the school you're applying to? Any advice on my plan for math would also be highly appreciated!

[wise forge]

I understood. Calculus AB and Calculus I are supposed to be the same, but Calc AB will probably be harder. If you plan on receiving your Bachelors from a public, in-state school, you will likely receive credit for the college course. However, some colleges will not accept dual enrollment credit or credit from a college at all. It really depends.

[nocturne portal]

Okay, thank you!

[wise forge]

Calc 3 is before Linear Alg and they are both 1 sem each

[nocturne portal]

Oh? Thanks for letting me know! So I can just take Linear Algebra and then Calculus 3 for Junior year.... and... for senior year... AP Statistics..?

I guess that works.

[wise forge]

i want to also note that calc 1 and 2 are 1 semester courses, while calc AB and BC are full year courses (BC covers both calc 1 and 2)

[nocturne portal]

Okay! Thanks so much, I have an idea of how to plan it out now.

[nocturne portal]

So, would this be a good plan?
Freshman: AP Calculus AB
Sophomore: Calculus I (first semester), Calculus II (second semester)
Junior: Calculus III (first semester), Linear Algebra (second semester)
Senior: And... maybe AP Statistics?

[mint thorn]

I mean it’s certainly something that most people won’t do

[wise forge]

Calc AB and Calc 1 are the same thing

if you don't have pre-calc, take that freshman

I took pre-calc freshman, its very necessary

I also plan on being a lawyer

[cinder gorge]

you could just take ap calc ab/bc and then calc 3 and go into depth on your own time

i studied ap calc over the summer so i had lots of time to review proofs and dive deeper into the topics

[orchid anvil]

i dont see why it’s necessary to go that far into math curriculum even for a top college. if you wanna do it cause you enjoy math then go ahead :)

like yeah do ap calc bc and ap stats but no need to go into calc III or linear if you dont want to

[nocturne portal]

I'll try that out for this year and then decide if that's what I'll do for the rest of HS. Thanks!

[cinder gorge]

if you “understand what’s being taught completely” then doing well on the exam will happen anyways

If I am trying to get into a good university what math courses should I have finished by the end of my four years (of high school)?

they’re not mutually exclusive

[cinder gorge]

what are you looking to major in

[cinder gorge]

Not sure yet, I'm only a freshman so... I was just kind of curious

[cinder gorge]

there isn’t really a specific list, it depends on what you want to go into and what opportunities you have

[cinder gorge]

Oh, I know I want to go into the field of computer science/engineering though.

oh okay, if you can take ap calculus ab/bc at some point go for it

Yeah I'll be taking that junior yr

*Hopefully

ap statistics is also a useful class

if you have some extra time and you really like math you can take calculus 3 and linear algebra at a nearby college as well

it’s definitely not necessary though

Thanks for the recommendations 👍

[quiet arrow]

they’re the same thing

i’d take ab because college credit

but if you can do bc instead that would be better

[cinder gorge]

Is this like Selectives?

[north drum]

If you can take algebra two,
Pre calc (try to take honors)
(AP) Calc AC
(AP) Calc BC,
Youll have excelled in math and colleges will love it

[cinder gorge]

if i've been studying CS / Software Engineering since I was 12 all throughout high school, and i'm pretty well rounded. if i went to college for software engineering what would I do, do i really have to take the basic courses ALL over again?

can i select courses that are more advanced somehow

[orchid anvil]

if you take AP classes, maybe not

lots of colleges, especially the top ones, like to reteach that stuff to freshman

[quiet arrow]

try to get to at least calculus
you would need to take:

• algebra 1
• geometry
• algebra 2
• precalc
• calculus
  if you didn’t take algebra 1 in middle school and are only able to get up to precalc that’s fine too

[cinder gorge]

Alright thanks 👍

[low knot]

(Hypothetically) Could I take both physics and chemistry at the same time my sophomore year?

[mint thorn]

I mean of course

But that’s a lot of work

[low knot]

I’m in algebra I rn and I’m probably going to take geometry over the summer and that’s something that you could also do too @cinder gorge so you can at least take calc

Or by even taking pre calc over the summer as well you could take one of the two AP Calc’s

[cinder gorge]

That's what I am doing yeah

[low knot]

Yeah I hope that I’ll be able to handle pre calc over the summer 😅.

[tight wedge]

is this a good list for my next two years of highschool? im also planning on self studying for the spanish ap exam junior year

[austere tulip]

Yeah this is good

But

I have a question

Or rather, remark

APush and ap us history are the same thing

Also, idk but I think bio and chem are one and a half period long

And u get two credits for each

[tight wedge]

i just realised sorry i meant ap us gov 😭

[tight wedge]

really? ty for telling me i didn’t know ^^ !

[austere tulip]

Yeah

At least for my school

Also

Both courses are really rough

So if you’re like really good, then go ahead take both sciences

But it can be really really hard to manage both

[tight wedge]

id say im pretty good in science math however not so much

[tawdry basalt]

What are the best Aps to take in 10th grade?

[cursive sun]

idk

[lone lion]

@tight wedge ok so im omly a sophomore

but likee

taking ap bio and chem and all other aps

ur senior year

is bad

unless u wanna have like barely to no free time

[orchid anvil]

depends if you wanna have more APs under your belt for colleges

more credits

[nocturne portal]

In my opinion, I'd say these are the best to take as a sophomore (take it with a grain of salt since I'm also a freshman): World History, English Lang, Economics, Calculus, Biology, or Physics. Maybe APUSH would be good as a sophomore?

[tawdry basalt]

thank

[tight wedge]

idk how to fix it cause theres like no room in my schedule in junior year apart from choir 😭

[lone lion]

just change the AP Classes

to easier ones

[lone lion]

wtf 💀

what school ru in

those are hard asf

[cinder gorge]

@nocturne portal Lol don't do APUSH

take US 1 H first

[tender flower]

Hii so next year I can pick my subjects, and I would really like to pick psychology as a major and become some kind of psychologist. I am from Australia so I don't know if it's different in America or some other countries. I was just wondering what subjects I should pick if I want to persue psychology as a degree

[austere tulip]

Id say the best APs are euro, psychology, chem(if you’re good), and once they release it, AP precalc

[austere tulip]

I think ur thinking junior year

Yeah those are good, but for juniors

[golden prawn]

they're decently similar although your years of schooling will be different

in America typically high schools will offer psychology but if you cant take that I would recommend taking a class like ethics, biology, etc. anything as closely related as posible

[tawdry basalt]

o alr

[golden blade]

Can anyone suggest to me what should I pick

(Standard Maths/Basic Maths)

???

[fluid thistle]

for what exam?

or course

[golden blade]

It's not an exam but

School asked me for 10th

[fluid thistle]

boards?

[golden blade]

M in 9th

[fluid thistle]

okayy

what stream do you want in 11th?

[golden blade]

M confused

In

[fluid thistle]

take standard then

[golden blade]

Architecture engineering, mechanical engineering,game developer/game designer

Ok

Thx

Can U suggest what should I pick in these 4

[austere tulip]

I would say mechanical engineering

[austere tulip]

Hey guys

Do u think ap seminar is better or ap lang

Just in general for english

[gleaming dew]

Can anyone suggest to me which stream I pick

[faint sorrel]

ap seminar is fairly easy, im taking ap lang and ap seminar rn.

but tbh ap lang is prob the most homework i have ever had

super rewarding to turn in a good essay tho

[austere tulip]

Yeah Ik that

But I’m wondering which one is good for learning

Because I also thinking about the pathway in general

Because if I take seminar then I will take research

But lang leads to lit

[faint sorrel]

unfortunately most AP classes are just preparing you for the ap test

but if you havnt taken the SAT yet i would say lang would be helpful for it

[austere tulip]

Ok

But like for long term

[faint sorrel]

but you get the ap capstone award if you do good in seminar and research

[austere tulip]

Yeah

[faint sorrel]

do both if you can

[austere tulip]

Ok

Thanks

[storm torrent]

What's the best STEM course/major to choose if you know want to do something in STEM but can't decide

I'm interested in Engineering, CS, maths and physics

What I'm asking is which one allows you to easily move into a different field, and teaches you the best skills and ways of thinking

[austere tulip]

Yeah

Based on what you said

Id recommend computer engineering

With that you can use both computer science and electrical engineering

[storm torrent]

Hm

What about physics?

[austere tulip]

Yeah

Physics applies to engineering

[storm torrent]

A student teacher at my school studied astrophysics and he said half of it was programming

[austere tulip]

And math applies to both

Yeah

Physics applies to both concepts

Because to be honest

Electricity and magnetism are very important in physics

Mechanics is good, but not the most useful for a career

It applies

Tho

[storm torrent]

Should I go with physics?

I mean

[austere tulip]

Yeah sure

[storm torrent]

Elon musk studied physics

Look where he's gotten tk

[austere tulip]

I would recommend engineering

[storm torrent]

To*

[austere tulip]

Because it combines every other option you mentioned

Physics math and CS

[storm torrent]

I could study physics but do engineering stuff as a hobby

[austere tulip]

But if you want physics that works as well

Yeah

[storm torrent]

Like with arduino

[austere tulip]

Yeah that also makes sense

[storm torrent]

Programming

[austere tulip]

Yeah that’s what I do

[storm torrent]

Robotics

[austere tulip]

But if you’re doing physics just because Elon did it

Then I wouldn’t recommend it

[storm torrent]

Nah that's not why

[austere tulip]

Ok

Then yeah

Go with physics

[storm torrent]

I'm not an elon worshiper

[austere tulip]

Try engineering on the sidelines

[storm torrent]

I respect the man for obvious reasons

[austere tulip]

And you should be good in STEM

[storm torrent]

But it's never good to blindly follow someone

Thanks for the advice man

I appreciate it

[austere tulip]

No problem

[sacred thicket]

i’m not a stem major but i have a lot of friends that study it, the biggest thing for them was choosing what they are most interested in. based off your interests, a course like stem biomed is not for u (as biomed is more doctor/medical based). the best thing to do will be to rule out which courses u dont want to do. but at the end of the day, do what u want to do. the best course for u is the one u have passion for. of course, think and plan for the future, but always keep urself and ur interests at heart - id rather see u happy in a more obscure subject that u love rather than miserable in one u don’t care for - from an art student who has struggled with the same thing you are currently struggling with

[sacred thicket]

i’m not in ap seminar, but to my understanding, ap lang is more nonfiction research based. u will study speeches, newspapers, and other stuff like that. a course like that is if u want to do journalism, be a lawyer, or something in that area

[storm torrent]

I'm definitely less interested in biology

Chemistry is in between

[sacred thicket]

then rule out the ones you don’t like! for me, a very indecisive person, to rule out what i don’t want makes it easier to narrow down choices yk

[storm torrent]

Don't get me wrong, it's really interesting, but I prefer more maths and problem solving

[storm torrent]

That's literally what doing rn

[sacred thicket]

ur on the right track then

[sacred thicket]

definitely, i understand where ur coming from

[storm torrent]

"I'm definitely less interested in biology"

[storm torrent]

Yeah it's the same reason I didn't pick it as a subject at school. In Ireland, secondary school biology is a fuck tonne of memorisation

I'd say I'd be good at it

But it's not fun enough

[sacred thicket]

that sounds so scary

gl in that 😭😭

[storm torrent]

We get to choose 3 subjects

Along with 4 mandatory ones

[sacred thicket]

ooo

[storm torrent]

English Irish maths and a foreign language

The cool thing is that you can pick any three you want

[sacred thicket]

that is rlly cool

[austere tulip]

I understand that, but I was asking for the general pathway. Cuz if you go ap lang y have to take lit and for seminar it goes to research. So my question was, which path better prepares you for college?

[storm torrent]

You just might not get them all depending on your luck when they're making the timetables

I chose physics chemistry and applied maths

There are three of us that do those three

[sacred thicket]

ahh i see, my bad for misunderstanding! this im not too sure about, i hope someone else can help you :D

[storm torrent]

🧠

[sacred thicket]

the way that ur courses r chosen r similar and yet so different to the way my school does them 😭😭

[storm torrent]

Where are you from?

The US system seems weird to me

[austere tulip]

I think they’re from America

Cuz they know about AP

[storm torrent]

The way you have classes not subjects

[austere tulip]

I like the Us system

Tho

[storm torrent]

Like you've a different teacher for algebra 1 or calculus

[austere tulip]

I studied in the indian(basically British) school system

[storm torrent]

We just have a maths subject

[austere tulip]

Before

[storm torrent]

Where we do everything

[austere tulip]

Ik

But I feel like focus is good

So like if each year you do something different that’s better

[storm torrent]

What do you mean

[austere tulip]

We do have subjects

But we just get to choose what to pick within that

[storm torrent]

We have one teacher but we do one chapter at a time

[austere tulip]

Yeah Ik

[sacred thicket]

yes i’m from us

but my school is weird af

[storm torrent]

Like we were just recapping on junior cycle algebra

[austere tulip]

We do one chapter at a time

[storm torrent]

Next we're moving onto more indepth trig

[austere tulip]

But there is a whole focus on one part of the subject

[storm torrent]

Hm

[austere tulip]

For the year

Both school systems have their own pros and cons

[storm torrent]

In the US could you choose to not take any humanities classes if you wanted to?

[austere tulip]

Matters

Some high schools require a minimum number of credits

[storm torrent]

Yeah

[austere tulip]

For humanities

Like our high school says you need 2 years

[storm torrent]

The US tests are all multiple choice though

[austere tulip]

No

[storm torrent]

So much easier

[austere tulip]

Not at all

There is a multiple choice section

But we have a lot of writing

[storm torrent]

Oh ok

[austere tulip]

Especially English class

That’s rough in the USA

[storm torrent]

I mean yeah

[austere tulip]

Yeah

So much analysis

[storm torrent]

Bro I had to write a 1000 word essay before school one morning

[austere tulip]

Oof

[storm torrent]

In fairness I only did 500 words but the teacher said it wasn't enough

But then I added stuff and made It 1100 words

[austere tulip]

Well to be fair writing more is not always hard

[storm torrent]

Yeah

But it's dull

It's just colourful waffle

In English anyways

[austere tulip]

Until high school our schools also have subjects

But here high school is a lot like college

I mean we even use titles

Like freshman sophomore etc

Like college

[storm torrent]

Damn

[austere tulip]

The system also works like that

[storm torrent]

Like the US*

No one else uses those titles

[austere tulip]

Cuz in middle school we had subjects like math

Science etc

[storm torrent]

Pretty unnecessary

[austere tulip]

In high school you are allowed to choose everything

[austere tulip]

I disagree

I know in India they do

And in England too

[storm torrent]

Nah

They don't

They just say "year x"

[austere tulip]

No

I’m talking about college

[storm torrent]

All right

[austere tulip]

In college they do

[storm torrent]

Then they say 1st year 2nd year...

I'm pretty sure

[austere tulip]

Oh maybe in England then

[storm torrent]

I highly doubt that man

[austere tulip]

But yeah in our high school we get to choose

But we have some requirements

That are necessary

[storm torrent]

I was talking about england

[austere tulip]

Like we have to take a Us history

[storm torrent]

Bruh

That's ass

[austere tulip]

No I meant that maybe in England you guys don’t have those college titles

And we have to do us gov

And we have to do 4 years of English

[storm torrent]

How could you say something like that. I'm Irish

[austere tulip]

And we have to do at least geometry and algebra

[storm torrent]

🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[austere tulip]

Oh sry lol

[storm torrent]

Sorry

[austere tulip]

Well that’s fine

I gtg

Bye

[storm torrent]

I was saying sorry to the bot

FYI @austere tulip

[storm torrent]

You might be forgiven one day

[cinder gorge]

Repost but will these courses help me get into a good university in california (computer science field) like UC Berkely or Irvine?

[tender flower]

These are the subjects that I can pick next year and idk which ones to pick, can someone recommend some?

[vagrant relic]

What grade ru

And what do u like

[tender flower]

in the maths section it's essential, general, maths methods and specialist (essential being the easiest and specialist being the hardest)

[tender flower]

well i kind of like maths and stuff

but I really want to be a psychologist

so idk

[vagrant relic]

Tbh

Aslong as u take eng a humanities math and science u can pickwhever else u want

[tender flower]

oh ok!

[vagrant relic]

Aslong as u fir the graduation/college

Reuiqrements

[tender flower]

sadly I can only pick 6 subject

s

so it's kind of annoying

cause everyday is 4 periods

[vagrant relic]

Yea same my school is 6 or 7

[tender flower]

ohh ok

[vagrant relic]

Imo its more than enough

[tender flower]

Hi… What’s a good course for a STEM student who’s into art and music? I want to take a course that has both science and music/art at the same time and until now I’m left undecided.

[mint thorn]

I mean there’s a lot of math majors that also major in music (usually theory or composition focused)

[upbeat sierra]

I want to take smth within the lines of “music theory” but I don’t think I can get accepted with that course because I’m a STEM student

[mint thorn]

Music theory is so fun and then counterpoint happens and then it’s hell

I mean do you do music?

If so then you’re fine

[upbeat sierra]

I have perfect pitch in music-

Like for example when there’s a song playing, I know what notes and major scale to use

[mint thorn]

WHAAAAAT

😭

SO JEALOUS OML

my only skill is that I can recognize a key by glancing at the music

Which is something that isn’t too hard after training

YOUR SCHOOL HAS SO MANY OPTIONS LUCKY

my school limited so many classes i could take based on grade level

[vale violet]

AP : 98%
Other : 2%

[orchid anvil]

as long as it is the maximum rigor your school provides.. yeah

[cinder gorge]

It's just math that I think some ppl or above me on, but I can still get ahead cuz my high school is VERYYYYY COMPETITIVE.

[orchid anvil]

is it like a magnet school?

[cinder gorge]

What's that?

[orchid anvil]

basically a school where top colleges get a bunch of kids

think Horace Mann or Harvard West Lake

[cinder gorge]

I honestly don't know

[orchid anvil]

do you know if a lot of kids at your school go to top colleges?

[cinder gorge]

Yes

A lott

[orchid anvil]

ok so then likely a magnet/feeder school

[cinder gorge]

Oh ok

[orchid anvil]

um i think as long as youre close to the top, thatll stand out

[cinder gorge]

Yeah
