course-selection

[daring bridge]

Whats Ib?

[ripe geyser]

Yes

It will appear as "honors english 9" and "AP World history"

[ripe geyser]

so your school doesn't have IB

It's international baccalaureate and it's a pretty damn dope program

[daring bridge]

Nope

Dont have it

[amber owl]

and will midterm and final exam grades be on your transcript too?

[ripe geyser]

I'm going down it and I can flex some pretty impressive admissions stats cause of it even though I'm not gonna get admitted to those unis

[ripe geyser]

Specifically those grades?

no

Only the overall grade in the class appears

[amber owl]

that's a relief

i have a final foreign language exam at the end of the school year and it's only worth 5% of my final grade

[ripe geyser]

You're damn lucky lol

[daring bridge]

Languages are not required
I need to get at least a C+ or better in math, English and science to get into college and from there its smooth sailing
Math= 56%+ or higher
English= 60%+ or higher
Science= 60%+ or higher

[ripe geyser]

My foreign language exam is worth about 10% of my grade

[ripe geyser]

This is false

[daring bridge]

Like the minimum grade is C

[amber owl]

oh wow lol

[ripe geyser]

Most colleges require at least 2 years of foreign language in high school

And they strongly recommend 3 years of foreign language

[daring bridge]

Not here they dont

[ripe geyser]

Which country are you in?

If it's the U.S then I got bad news bears

[daring bridge]

British Columbia

[ripe geyser]

Ah

[amber owl]

so far my final grade in foreign language is a 97

[ripe geyser]

The fake brits

[daring bridge]

Yeppers

[ripe geyser]

Yeah, assuming Dude is in the U.S then he would need 2-3 years of a foreign language

[amber owl]

it can be met in middle school too

[daring bridge]

In high school, you can drop out of French and Spanish after grade 8

And you would just get a extra elective

[amber owl]

yup

my counselor is saying i should do it until 10th grade

[daring bridge]

We dont have middle school here

🙂

[amber owl]

why do i feel like elementary school in your country is grades kindergarten to 8th grade

[daring bridge]

K-7 is elementary
8-12 is high

Hell here, they are not allowed to fail you unless you have been absent for the whole year for both grade 8 and grade 9
Crazy I know

[ripe geyser]

This changes from school to school

In my school that is not true

If you took spanish I in middle school then spanish 2, you would still need spanish 3, AP Spanish, or IB Spanish next

[amber owl]

Oh, im learning a lot lol

What do you do in science lab again

[ripe geyser]

Whatever the fuck your teacher considers a lab

If you want a more definite definition then take an AP science if you want

They actually list out a series of labs that your school is required to do some of

So in that case whatever they list out is a lab

in AP Bio we got 13 labs that your teacher can choose from

I did like 5 of them I believe

[amber owl]

I got my course recommendations today [basically yesterday now] and it's interesting

[ripe geyser]

What are they?

[amber owl]

Algebra, normal biology, honors english and world history, fine art [i picked media art], german, study hall, pe, and science lab

[umbral totem]

Is it always best to choose course’s recommend by your counselor

[amber owl]

She only recommended me to do german in 10th grade too

[ripe geyser]

It's always best to choose whatever courses you feel are right for you

My counselor recommended me biology honors when I came here but my teacher realized that I was already well ahead of the curve for even the AP classes so I instead was put into AP Bio

[amber owl]

I suck at bio

[ripe geyser]

I didn't regret picking AP bio cause this class is genuinely fun and while I love scaring the shit out of people with scary looking images it's actually not that hard

I think my normal spanish class is harder than both APs I'm taking

[amber owl]

My quiz/test average for bio is a 73 percent

[ripe geyser]

Did you do mostly micro or macro biology?

[amber owl]

Macro

[ripe geyser]

That explains it

Micro biology is way different from macro biology

and it's honestly more fun

this shit is why we even exist

That's something called tRNA and that is one of the most important parts that dictates which genes are expressed

in macro biology you mostly focus on evolution, enviroments and their impacts, and the general impacts of humanity

In micro biology you focus on entirely different things

[amber owl]

I think ill be doing micro and macro biology next year

[ripe geyser]

You'll focus on how even the smallest changes can have massive consequences, the way energy moves between complex systems, and discover the question of why do these biological beings do the things they do?

Like there's no reason for a molecule to want to create a protein, it just does

[ripe geyser]

If you struggle at macro biology but are still required to do biology, then maybe consider doing AP Bio instead

I'ts a very hard course for a first time AP class taker, but it's not impossible

And it's also a good way to dip your toes into the AP Sciences

As it's generally the easiest AP science that isn't considered a joke (APES and Pysch)

[amber owl]

Are the quizzes and tests hard

[ripe geyser]

Very

But if you read the books you won't be getting anything less than an 80%

Just reading the textbook and taking notes is often enough for a 90 in some tests

Though you'll often only get 80-85%s

[amber owl]

It's funny that my homework and classwork average is a 100, but for tests and quizzes It's ugly

[daring bridge]

Yay, only need a C+ or above in math, English and science 12 to get into college!

[amber owl]

And i dont get why i got recommended for honors world history when my test average is an 81

[ripe geyser]

Most requirements for honors classes are getting Bs

and also tests don't matter that much lol

[amber owl]

And also he's really strict with grading

[ripe geyser]

At my school tests account for about 30% of your grade depending on your teacher

For AP World tests account for... next to nothing really

It's all a point system and there's no weighting for points

So the tests are often accounting for less than your scores on your homework

[amber owl]

He gave me a 9.9/10 on a reading assignment because of one grammar mistake

[amber owl]

Unless the teachers adds weighted like my foreign language, englsih teacher, and math teacher has

[ripe geyser]

You'll be fine my man

Here's the thing: it's always easier to drop down a level tahn it is to drop up a level

[amber owl]

For example, my foriegn teacher does 60 percent of your grade quizzes/tests and 40% homework and classworo

[ripe geyser]

You don't want to regret taking a class that's too easy than regret taking a class that's too hard and then dropping down to a class that's easy

[amber owl]

alright. The only subject im the most afraid for is art

[ripe geyser]

Then figure out another humanities to take

[amber owl]

It's a fine art requirement, i have to take an art class for me to graduate

I had the option to take between basically physical and online art

[ripe geyser]

No others?

Like band, theater arts, or ceramics?

[amber owl]

Nope

It's pretty stupid in my opinion

And if i want to practice art, i have to spend a bunch of money

But anyways, ty for helping me. I appreciate it

[onyx widget]

what ap should i take if i wanna be doctore

i know i should take ap bio and chem but what else

[latent pine]

what would be better dropping a class that doesnt benefit me much to make room for PE or keep the class and get extra credits, bu have to take on a sport?

[ripe geyser]

AP Stats and AP Lit are incredibly useful for every field

Outside of that take whatever APs interest you the most

[onyx widget]

ok noice

[solemn bone]

Im currently in 9th grade and taking french 1-2. Its pretty easy for me, however some people are in spanish 5-6, which will give them gpa boosts when they take honors spanish next year, when i am taking normal french 3-4. Should i focus on taking classes over the summer to get some credits done or should i focus on extra curriculars? Any advice would be appreciated

[blazing flume]

If the class doesn't have much use for you and you don't want to commit to a sport or don't have the time to, then it would probably be best to drop it for PE, as long as you won't fail the class you're dropping.

[fickle osprey]

first off, wdym by extracirriculars?

[austere tulip]

HUH? 5-6?? For us 5 is AP. Anywyas, um I think you shouldn't worry about those spanish kids. First of all, does your school do valedictorian? Second, do you have many other APs and honors to take?

u could also make lannguage a pass or fail class if that's available

so that it doesn't count towards GPA

but i'd say do something better over the summer

like u said

extracurriculars

[broken cipher]

hi if you’ve taken both ap physics and ap calc, do you think ill be alright if i took them in the same year? ive heard that they r both hard classes

[austere tulip]

i think that's doable

[compact plaza]

Both are intended to be taken with each other

That is if u mean ap calc and ap physics c

[cinder gorge]

i wanna know

who here has taken AP gov or is taking ap gov

[pale eagle]

do you guys think taking ap physics mechanics and ap calc ab in 10th grade is a smart thing to do?

[gloomy lotus]

If you're good at math, you can go for it. AP physics C requires a bit of calc, but its really just differentiation/integrals. You can teach it to yourself/most likely your AP Physics teacher will teach it to you as well

[gloomy lotus]

It's doable fs

[pale eagle]

thanks

[verbal swift]

Hi I’m in 8th grade right now and I’ll be In 9th grade next year what Ap/Honor classes should I take ?

[hollow cedar]

Hi Im in 10th grade rn. what should i opt for in 11th

some suggestions would help!!

[buoyant vapor]

which ones are offered?

[buoyant vapor]

do u wanna do more math or more english in college?

[ripe geyser]

APHUG is always a good starter course and so is CSP if you're interested in STEM

[cinder gorge]

I totally recommend AP Human, im finishing it off this year. (I think that each course just depends on the teacher, mine gave 20 page readings + notes on one day and then the test the day after. It showed me the rigor that comes with AP classes.)

The content itself I think can be interesting, I think I would have enjoyed the course more had he not made us read the extra fluff in the textbook and just gave us the the important stuff raw. But the general content I think is something that is a good introduction to AP classes for 9th graders

[austere tulip]

I recommend taking Ap world history!

[ripe geyser]

Nah APHUG is always better to take Freshman year than World

HUG gives you a better intro to the AP Social Sciences as it's not too hard

[austere tulip]

Ik

but like as a freshman in world

and having friends in Hug

I've seen that hug can be very useless

Like it's not really a good intro to AP if there's world because it's just so easy that it's regular/honors level

World on the other hand

not the most difficult

but like it still gives u you more intro to the rigor

and stuff

[cinder gorge]

It all depends on the teacher

[austere tulip]

that's true

[cinder gorge]

Traumatized from Ap Hug because of the 20 page readings each night and then the quiz the next day

[austere tulip]

but world has more essay writing as well

[ripe geyser]

Most AP courses are useless lol

[austere tulip]

well yeah

but like in terms of skills

[ripe geyser]

Plus we're talking about a Freshman

[austere tulip]

in a normal school, that usually doesn't happe

[austere tulip]

yeah ik

[ripe geyser]

We want a soft introduction to the AP workload is possible

[austere tulip]

im doing world as a ffreshman

Ap world doesn't have too much workload

[cinder gorge]

Public magnet

[austere tulip]

but it's not as light as hug

[ripe geyser]

Especially as they do not understand how AP Exams work which is the rael concern

Like you don't want to be bumbling around for AP WOrld cause that class actually has college creds on the line

APHUG doesn't

[cinder gorge]

I think just taking ap human to get a good score is useful

[austere tulip]

and the thing is taking ap human can also be a waste year

[cinder gorge]

Maximizing your potential in your school by taking AP classes

[austere tulip]

like you could have done world

and then continued with euro

and then finished off with requirements of US and Gov

again

very dependent on the school

[cinder gorge]

Does this apply to private schools? Im transferring

[austere tulip]

but sometimes taking the really easy way out isn't that helpful

[austere tulip]

idk much about private schools

I mean at least in the US

public schools are so good

[cinder gorge]

In the US?

[austere tulip]

that like u don't need private schools

but there are many of course

for specialization, more advanced curriculum, etc

[ripe geyser]

But most AP Courses are still useless

And once again you don't have college creds on the line

Like if you bomb AP World then when you take gen ed you need to include world history there

But if you bomb APHUG there's no loss

No university as far a I know offers credits to APHUG

[austere tulip]

It's all opinion

[ripe geyser]

So it's a practice basically

[austere tulip]

and imo

World is more helpful

[ripe geyser]

And getting that practice I feel is a good opportunity rather than just jumping in

[austere tulip]

as an intro to AP

[ripe geyser]

I'm not saying to not take world

But maybe take it Sophomore year

[austere tulip]

but what if people want to do Euro?

etc

they also have to fit it in with gov

us

which are usually requirements

[ripe geyser]

That's a good point, however gov is often taken as a 1 semester long course with some other required course

[austere tulip]

yeah for us it's personal finance

[ripe geyser]

So if you need gov, you probably will be taking it alongside iwth health as health is 1 seemster long

Or personal finance

Which is still fine

Regardless

It's digital's choice whether or not they value what's basically a year of practice before really jumping into the AP Workload or if they consider the accelerated pace to be critical

[verbal swift]

Do you guys know how many Ap classes that your allowed to take ?

[ripe geyser]

It changed school to school

[onyx widget]

should i take IB or AP

[verbal swift]

Oh ok

[ripe geyser]

What are you looking for out of your education?

[onyx widget]

prepare for job/real world

[ripe geyser]

Nothing else like socialization or general skill development?

In that case AP would be your best bet or the IB CP

If your school offers it

[amber owl]

is FACS a good elective. if so, which topic would you recommend

[cinder gorge]

what are the best courses for auto engineering grade 12

[austere tulip]

Automotive technology classes

[cinder gorge]

already done

[austere tulip]

Engineering design classes(including mechanical)

[cinder gorge]

ok

im in grade 10 rn

[austere tulip]

yeah just do some regular

mechanical engineering

[cinder gorge]

and i alredy did 11

[austere tulip]

electrical engineering

[cinder gorge]

so just wanted to know

[cinder gorge]

alr

[austere tulip]

??

u are in 10

u did 11?

[cinder gorge]

course selection

[austere tulip]

oh

ok

what did u pick?

[cinder gorge]

uhh some junk food making course

physics

math

english university

uh

auto

and

i forgot

🐒

[tough sun]

Ap?

[cinder gorge]

?

[austere tulip]

are u in the US?

[cinder gorge]

i was born ther

but no

CAD

[austere tulip]

oh ok

[cinder gorge]

mhm

i have dual citizenship

unique

[gloomy lotus]

does dual citizenship mean anything in terms of college apps?

random question

[cinder gorge]

no

it just means u have 2 citizenship

[gloomy lotus]

cool, was just curious

[tacit field]

What classes should I take for freshman year? What APs?

[signal merlin]

can someone suggest any changes to classes i plan to tale fteshmen year: ap human geo, art fundementals, culinary arts 1, honors biology (not all classes are listed)

[steel sparrow]

Those seem good

[compact plaza]

Sure

[steel sparrow]

my school doesn't offer culinary arts or anything like that :c

[compact plaza]

What about extracurriculars

[signal merlin]

do you suggest taking all honors offered

[compact plaza]

And do u have a prospective major

[compact plaza]

Yes

[signal merlin]

im not sure about extracurricular yet

i plan to go to the medical field, preferred to become a optometrist. do you know any classes that is helpful for it?

freshmen to senior

[compact plaza]

Hmm

Im an aerospace engineering major so I'm not sure

[signal merlin]

oh man

oh, thats fine

[compact plaza]

For stem in general just try to get an internship in junior year

[signal merlin]

my career needs lots of math and sceince, simillar to yours, so any classes you suggest?

[compact plaza]

I think FIRST Robotics is good for all STEM fields

[compact plaza]

Optometry? Not really when compared to other stuff

[signal merlin]

my school doesnt offer interships similae to optometry

[compact plaza]

Yeah internships are for you to find in ur own

[signal merlin]

or medical fields honestly

[compact plaza]

I go to a liberal arts high school

With mid stem education

I still got an internship in aerospace engineering just from ECs and looking on my own

[signal merlin]

wow nice!

[visual roost]

What do you do at the aerospace internship?

[ripe geyser]

AP HUG or AP CSP

Those are the 2 APs that are really good at introducing you to the format of the AP Exam while the class itself not being that difficult

You also are not left with any college creds on the line

This is unlike AP World which is also another rec that people give where if you bomb that exam you kiss the credits you would've gotten there goodbye

[signal merlin]

if you take ap hug, will it be replaced for the core require socialstudies/history course or considered an elective

for freshmen

my school says both as elective and core class so im kinda confused

[radiant cape]

So my school doesn’t offer aps for freshmen but if I were able to convince them what should I take (no, they don’t offer csp or hug)

[vital olive]

depends on what's offered

[ripe geyser]

None then

Just focus on getting max honors curriculum first

[pearl raft]

Hi I had a question on whether I should take ap lang next year or not, my next year (junior) classes so far are: Chemistry honors, art 2 and 3 hnrs, ap compsci, ap psych, college history and another college class on sociology, and Math 4 hnrs.

[ripe geyser]

AP Lang is one of the most useful courses you can take in high school

I always encourage people to take AP Lang cause it's just that damn useful

If you feel it's too hard, then you can feel free to drop AP CSA. If you're doing APCSP I would encourage you drop it in exchange for AP Lang and find a more difficult course cause AP CSP is a joke

I'm encouraging dropping AP CS mostly because it seems like you're more interested in the humanities

[merry citrus]

None

Just focus on what you like and that will evolve to interest

[pearl raft]

yeah i’ve heard it’s very useful so i might take ap comp off since I do like tech and stuff but i could take it senior year as well, so thank you!

[willow halo]

alright, I'm going into freshman year. these are the class choices that I choose, anything else I should choose: 1

1. honor english 9
2. Honor alg 2 with trig
3. honor physics
4. Ap world history
5. electives: stem class and band

alsooo

[ripe geyser]

Only 5 classes?

[willow halo]

can you guys explain all these abbreviations of ap classes?

[willow halo]

I think?

[ripe geyser]

Most school systems go for 6 though?

[willow halo]

well, I have 2 elective classes

[ripe geyser]

Ah

So you do have 6

aite

[ripe geyser]

AP World/APW/APWH/AP Modern = AP World History: Modern (yes, there's an AP World History: Ancient but it's in development)
AP CSP = AP Computer Science Principals, a lame class
AP CSA = AP Computer Science A, the only Comp-sci related class that the AP offers. No CSP doesn't count
APUSH = AP U.S History
AP Euro = AP European History
AP Gov = Ap U.S Government
AP Macro/Micro/Econ = The 2 AP Economics courses, macro and micro. Some people take both of them in the same year and we just say those people are taking AP Econ
AP Calc AB/BC = AP Calculus AB or AP Calculus BC. AB focuses on the first semester of college level calculus while BC does a whole year of calculus
AP Chem = AP Chemistry
AP Bio = AP Biology
AP Physics 1/2/C ED/C Mech = AP Physics. There are 4 courses: AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, and AP Physics Electrodynamics and Magnetism as well as AP Physics C Classical Mechanics

[willow halo]

woww

[willow halo]

that's a lot

thank you!

any suggestions though?

for what classes I should take

cause it's still possible for me the change stuff

[ripe geyser]

There's more

I just forgor 💀

Oh yeah I remember:
AP HUG = A joke of a class. It stands for AP Human Geography
APES = AP Environmental Sciences, also a joke of a class

@willow halo if you want some suggestions, if I called the class "a joke of a class" that's what you should probably take

Take one of them freshman year if they interest you

This will give you a soft introduction to the style of AP Exams which is really gonna be your crux

and at the very least most schools don't put any credits on the line for any of these classes except APES

Which even then, APES doesn't fulfil gen ed requiremens

[willow halo]

ehhh? what does that mean?

[willow halo]

gen ed?

is that like a wide spread term

soooo

[ripe geyser]

General Education

Many colleges require every student to take certain courses, even if they don't pertain to what the student is doing

[willow halo]

ohh

should I look into that?

I'm a bit lose

[ripe geyser]

No

GenEd courses usually are not hard

[ripe geyser]

Credits are what gets awarded for taking an AP Class and scoring a certain amount on that exam

They denote the equivalent amount of time a professor would spend on lecturing you about that subject

So an example, for me my local community college gives us 4 credits if we take AP World and score a 3 or above on the exam

That means that we do not need to go to 4 lectures that are related to history

Most colleges require about 15 credits to be taken every semester before you graduate so you can see how that quickly stacks up

If you take 4 AP classes and they all fulfil your major and gen ed requirements, you may have enough credits (at my local CC) to skip your first semester

If you want to skip your second semester and immediately become a 2nd year students then you're gonna need 8 AP Classes

[willow halo]

ummm

[willow halo]

but how would you know they fit the requirements?

to skip a class I mean

what if you don't pass the test

or the college doesn't accept the credits?

[ripe geyser]

Look at the college you want to go to and google "AP credit"

They will tell you right there how many credits and in which subject you will get

It changes from class to class

They will also tell you the minimum requirements to get those credits

So in my local CC I need to get a 3 or above (a passing score) for my AP Exams for credit

But if i wanted to go to Stanford I would need a 5 in all my exams (the highest possible score) to get any credit

Just dw about the credits, you're fine for now

Your goal should for now be to get your first 4 on an AP Exam

Getting a 5 is fucking insane but a 4 is a lot more reasonable lol

especially for a freshman

[willow halo]

this is a lot

[willow halo]

I'm talking ap world, so should I keep it to one for now?

[ripe geyser]

Yes

I regret picking both AP World and AP Bio for my first dip into the AP Exam space

[soft jacinth]

[willow halo]

you took both in the first year? how hard was it?

do you think I should study world history during the sumer

[willow halo]

I wish I could help, but honestly I don't know what I'm doing rn. but what are 4 honors, like what does the numbers mean?

[soft jacinth]

The math class, it represents the difficulty so math 4 and 5 at my school is pre calculus

And trig i think

[willow halo]

ahhh

that's cool!

[soft jacinth]

Sure is (:

[ripe geyser]

Oh no my first year I took no AP Classes, my old school didn't let me

My new school was supposed to only let me take AP World but I let the AP Bio teacher think I was beyond the scope of even AP Bio so he reccomended me for AP Bio instead

[willow halo]

ohh, wow!

was it fun?

[tough sun]

@willow halo congratulations you going in freshman year!!..

[willow halo]

I'd rather go to kindergarten....

but thank you!

[ripe geyser]

It was dope

Generally AP Teachers are the ones that actually enjoy their jobs

So you're usually going to only have good teachers in the AP Pool

[willow halo]

😭

[willow halo]

sooo all my other teachers are going to be mean

[ripe geyser]

Usually yeah

Especially if they're non-honors courses

FUCK MS. VIRAMONTES I HATE YOUR SPANISH CLASS

[willow halo]

😍 my current spanish teacher is no better

[soft jacinth]

[tough sun]

@topaz cloud help her

[topaz cloud]

yes it is very good there is a lot of vigour in here

there are some tough subjects they are really good

[tough sun]

Are you duking it

💀

[cinder gorge]

?

[tough sun]

Your high school student ig

[cinder gorge]

???

I go to hs, cc and csulb

[tough sun]

He asking advice form college grades only

[ripe geyser]

In the U.S you can take college alongside high school

It's called Dual Enrollment

So for him, he goes to High School, Community College, and California State University: Long Beach

[tough sun]

So duck also gave univ sem exam alongside with High school exams

Wow this is amazing

[ripe geyser]

A lot of students do this actually

It's called Dual Enrollment

Or for Duck he also does Special Admit

There's some minor differences between the 2 but they're practically the same

I believe in your case you might actually be able to do the same

A lot of the community colleges here will offer their classes online so you can take college classes from the U.S while you're in India

[cinder gorge]

Not rlly

What’s impressive is winning national and international awards

I only got a state award

[ripe geyser]

You got an award when competing against a state of 39 million people

That is very impressive you fucking dumbass

NOt everyone is an anime protagonist 💀

[cinder gorge]

Not to me

[ripe geyser]

Too bad I didn't ask what you think

That shit's impressive and you gotta own that shit lol

[cinder gorge]

What about the other billion people in the US?

[ripe geyser]

There are not 1 billion people in the U.S

There are 332 million

You are one person in a group of 50 amongst a group of 332 million

You are a 1 in 6.6 million person

On average

but in reality a 1 in 39 million person

I would need to look through 39 million people just to find someone with the same talent as you

[tough sun]

You all have extra previlages but you believe usa education system is bad

[cinder gorge]

Privileges such as what

[tough sun]

Dual enrollment

[cinder gorge]

Ok? U can do it too

[ripe geyser]

You can too lol

Our DE is online

Here let me reccomend you a DE system rq

[cinder gorge]

Just reach out to ur cc or university

[ripe geyser]

https://www.vcccd.edu/ here

[ripe geyser]

He lives in India, DE isn't a thing there

[ripe geyser]

This whole district offers a lot of online classes you can take as a high school student that count as college courses

[cinder gorge]

But cant u do sa? Or something

[ripe geyser]

I'm not certain but they might transfer to IIT

[ripe geyser]

Nope

Not many colleges/unis in the U.S offer SA to begin with

Much less unis outside the U.S

@tough sun https://www.moorparkcollege.edu/departments/student-services/dual-enrollment this is the school I'm dual enrolling in, feel free to read through the requirements and see if you can get everything needed

To be admitted to Moorpark College the only requirement is that you are either a current high school student or you've finished high school

Even if you're an international student

[cinder gorge]

And this gets applied in ur hs transcript?

[tough sun]

Enrollment in this univ can be a good source of ecs

[cinder gorge]

Its not an ecs

Its a class

But my csulb is a ecs cuz it’s outside of regular school

And im not obligated to do anything

[ripe geyser]

If your school allows it

If not then it just appears on a college transcript

[ripe geyser]

No, it's just more classes you can take that appear on a seperate transcript

So now you have 2 GPAs

Fun fact: Colleges typically value the GPA at the DE class more tahn your high school GPA

So if you get straight As it looks really good

And, if you want to put your mind to it, it is possible for you to get something called an "associates degree" during high school

Now for me I don't think I can actually go down this pathway due to me starting DE too late

But if you're a rising 10th grader or a 9th grader it's possible

[cinder gorge]

Same

If i started last yr, i could have gotten it

[ripe geyser]

I mean it is possible actually for me

Seeing how I'm doing AP and IB

So I get my first 2 semesters of maths cleared out as well as all of my gen ed

So if I wanted to I could get my other 3 semesters of maths done too

[tough sun]

I think that you guys go to univ offline ( but this are offline)

[tough sun]

I am 12th grader currently

[cinder gorge]

Offline?

[cinder gorge]

Its kinda too late to do anything tbh

[tough sun]

Sorry I mean online

[ripe geyser]

Nah it's possible

• I believe DE in Moorpark is free it's only like 46 dollars

[cinder gorge]

Is there a limit?

[cinder gorge]

Per class or what

[tough sun]

[cinder gorge]

U alr applied to uni, right?

[tough sun]

No my 11th exams are just over and I am promoted to 12th

What abt you

[cinder gorge]

Me?

Im in 10th

[tough sun]

Alright

[austere tulip]

wait

so the moorpark thing

you can do it from anywhere right

[cinder gorge]

Isnt that the point of online stuff?

[austere tulip]

no I was just checking

I mean i'm gonna check with my community college if I can do online

if not then i'm going to try moorpark

[ripe geyser]

For up to 11.5 semester credits

[austere tulip]

ok

and how much work is it per course?

like usually

in hours per wek

week*

[ripe geyser]

I have no fucking clue

I’m about to find out

It’s usually 4 weeks per course though and it’s all asynchronous

[austere tulip]

Oh really

only 4 weeks

that's goodd

And do u have to do the recommendation from school official

Cuz if I ask my school officials

they'll probably push me to go to do it at our own CC

and not at some other one

[ripe geyser]

No

You just have to get an MOU form signed and follow the steps

[austere tulip]

oh ok

[deep pier]

@ripe geyser the site(Moorpark one) says that I'll need an F1 visa or smth to enroll

[cinder gorge]

Thats america

[deep pier]

Ik but online enrollment will also require it then it's like too much

[tough sun]

Moorpark is college or school

[cinder gorge]

Same thing lmao

[ripe geyser]

It does?

There should be another VCCCD college that's entirely digital let me find it

Alright well I can't find it

[ripe geyser]

Are you close to the U.S embassy in Delhi?

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/study/student-visa.html cause this will be how you get that F1 Visa

Granted you're now spending 160 USD (13.1k ₹) so that's not as economical and may not be worth it

[deep pier]

Yeah...

Thanks for your effort tho, appreciate it! @ripe geyser

[broken cipher]

i enjoy my MUN class but it’s not related to what im planning to major in. do u guys think it’s worth it to replace it with an AP class instead?

[ripe geyser]

You don't need to take classes in what you plan on majoring in

I'm planning on majoring in mathematics but I'm also taking classes in the arts and shit

If you enjoy MUN, continue on doing it

It builds character, you don't want to come off as a robot

[tough sun]

MUN is kind of debate?.

[ripe geyser]

yeah it's a type of debate related to international politics

[tough sun]

Hmm in my middle school it's was organised

[broken cipher]

that makes sense ty!

[signal merlin]

does anyone suggest taking ap hug, ap stats, ap macro, or ap psychology

[ripe geyser]

AP stats is the most useful AP course alongside AP Lang. I strongly encourage you take it

[signal merlin]

okay, thanks!

[feral lava]

Should I take English 1 over the summer? My school does this thing where people who take english 1 prior to highschool get to take AP sem in 10th.

[cinder gorge]

that seems useful

[feral lava]

But they dont offer AP research so I can't get a capstone diploma

[cinder gorge]

oh

jeez that sucks

[feral lava]

But I got into a STEM program that gives some research diploma

[cinder gorge]

maybe focus on that then

[feral lava]

Ok

[cinder gorge]

im not sure how useful ap sem is

but if you're guaranteed a diploma for stem if thats a field your interested in it seems the most reasonable

[feral lava]

Ok thx

[dusky wasp]

does any one know what do i need to study software engineering in uni

?

[feral lava]

Do CSP/CSA

And Engineering 1

If you school has it

*your

[dusky wasp]

thank you i will search for them

[gaunt scarab]

anybody know how I can take calc ac and bc over summer

[feral lava]

You can do FLVS

But its way to expensive

[feral lava]

But don't overdo the math

[gaunt scarab]

why

I love math

[feral lava]

Ok

But I would also do other courses like Eng

And be well rounded

[gaunt scarab]

im trash at eng and history

isnt well rounded bad

[unborn pulsar]

So

If I have a 94 average in geometry

But a 78 average in algebra 1

Should I take algebra 2 honors

[ripe geyser]

Not worth it

If you do not get the Capstone it is not worth doing seminar

Go down the normal route of doing English 10 and then doing English Lang and Lit

[cinder gorge]

My grades are 75, 85, 71, 70 what course should I take

[ripe geyser]

Idek what the hell those grades are in

[cinder gorge]

Ela social math science

[ripe geyser]

Afaik you could be taking fucking lie algebra with those grades

[ripe geyser]

whihc fucking social studies, math, or science course?

which ela course??

And where do the grades go?

[cinder gorge]

I'm still in 10 grade butim planning to decide this year I'm from Alberta and I got dash 1 social and science 10 math and science

[ripe geyser]

Idfk the alberta school system 💀

[soft jacinth]

Lmao

[ripe geyser]

that's a you problem now, I don't know that shit

[cinder gorge]

Just give a course lol

Based on those grades

[ripe geyser]

Idk what the fuck "math" is in Alberta

or Dash 1 Social

Or Science 10

[unborn pulsar]

whats ur gpa

[ripe geyser]

Idk that shit, I'm not familiar with Alberta system

And I'm too lazy to look it up

[unborn pulsar]

do they do gpa in alberta

oh not u

mbmb

[cinder gorge]

My GPA rn

Is a 3.2

I added up the perctanges and divided by 4

71, 70, 85, 75

Oof

Is that bad

[ripe geyser]

Duck is aiming for the top U.S Unis so his views are a bit skewed

Where do you aim to go?

If it's a local university then that's actually really good to get so far, afaik the Alberta system is way more difficult than the U.S system

[cinder gorge]

To me, very bad

[feral lion]

to me, yes

[compact plaza]

What do u wanna do for college

[cinder gorge]

Geopsychis in Alberta that only needs 70s

[cinder gorge]

Local Calgary

I feel so dumb right now k thought that was good

[ripe geyser]

If the uni is outside of the bottom 30% of universities, it's good

So 70% of universities are good

[timber hamlet]

I have a question

[ripe geyser]

What's poppin?

[timber hamlet]

If i take 2 early outs do colleges find that Ok?

[ripe geyser]

Early out?

Like skipping a year or something?

[timber hamlet]

No

I skip 4th period

[ripe geyser]

And which college are we talking about?

[timber hamlet]

and 8th Period

[ripe geyser]

Oh free periods

[timber hamlet]

Uhh just Uc’s and Csu’s

[ripe geyser]

Is it listed as "early out" on your transcript?

It shouldn't be but check

[timber hamlet]

Im not sure

it’s for next year

[ripe geyser]

If it's not listed on your transcript then no college will even know about their existence

[ripe geyser]

Most high schools don't list those

[warped jewel]

Canada courses ends with the grade level

[ripe geyser]

Ik

I just don't know what science 10 pertains to

Biological sciences? Physical ones? Chemical ones?

I don't really know

[warped jewel]

it's literally all 3

you can't branch out until grade 11

[timber hamlet]

I’m taking 4 Apush classes next year

[ripe geyser]

Huh that's strange

[warped jewel]

which is wild

[timber hamlet]

but idk if that’s enough for my competitive major

[ripe geyser]

You can't take 4 of the same class

[timber hamlet]

sorry oops i meant ap

[ripe geyser]

How the fuck did you do that?

Me when I take history 4 times a day

[timber hamlet]

i have this wierd habit of calling all ap classes apush

[ripe geyser]

I suspect you're traumatized by APUSH

[timber hamlet]

i used to think that apush was what ap stood for

like a “push”

[ripe geyser]

Bruh moment

[timber hamlet]

Also i’m taking it next year

[ripe geyser]

Regardless there's no such thing as an amount of APs being required for a major

Most colleges genuinely do not care for APs that much

And by most I mean the T50s

Unis below there eat that shit up

[warped jewel]

grade 11 matter a lot more in Canada

so do better next year

[ripe geyser]

Also: ther'es like 30 fucking universities in the CSU/UC system

Which specific ones?

[timber hamlet]

i’m rlly worried about my acceptance rate

because i have two cs run

rn*

[ripe geyser]

2 CSU unis/

Which ones?

[timber hamlet]

The less prestigious ones like UC davis UC sandiego and CSU sacramento

not like berkley or ucla

[cinder gorge]

I could get into my program with nt gradesso that's good

[ripe geyser]

UCSD is as prestigious as UCLA and UC Berkeley

[timber hamlet]

Oh

[cinder gorge]

Exotica what are you doing in college

[ripe geyser]

Uh look at pins pano

Check what your counselor says

[ripe geyser]

Haven't started college yet, I'll start over the summer

[cinder gorge]

Stuff

Oh

[timber hamlet]

well um

[ripe geyser]

I'm beginning to work towards an associates in Math

[timber hamlet]

i already signed the contract 😅

for aps

[ripe geyser]

And then using that to transfer to CSU or TAG

Maybe UCLA if I manage to fulfil the honors requirements somehow

[cinder gorge]

I'm 15 and don't have a console should I buy one at yh end of uni?

[ripe geyser]

Console?

Like a playstation?

Or XBox?

Buy one now lol

You get shit to do

[cinder gorge]

I can't my mom

[ripe geyser]

You don't wind up like me who got their playstation stolen by a russian dude named Dimitri

[warped jewel]

grade 11 you can take a grade 12 social studies which I would recommend. Ela is just mandatory. Math take precalc if you can, science just do chem and your favorite other one or just any science ig. Really depends on what you wanna do im the future

[cinder gorge]

She says get one at end of school

[ripe geyser]

Then wait for uni

You're not missing out on much

[cinder gorge]

Ya

[timber hamlet]

My current dream college is Uc san diego or uc davis but i haven’t done much to get accepted into them other than try to take as many honors as possible

[cinder gorge]

Manifesting that all of us get good careers in the future

[compact plaza]

Ur dream colleges are ones with horrible overcrowding issues?

[ripe geyser]

You can always start whenever you want

[timber hamlet]

Wait i just found out Sac State and CSU sacramento are the same school

[ripe geyser]

They are?

[timber hamlet]

yeah

94% acceptance rate let’s gooo

[ripe geyser]

huh

[timber hamlet]

it’s a good safety

[ripe geyser]

More you know

[ripe geyser]

Always beware of this shit

[cinder gorge]

Advice for grade 11 and 12

[ripe geyser]

If it says 94% or something like that it doesn't mean that they accept 94% of all students

[timber hamlet]

Wdym

[ripe geyser]

In the case of CSU Sacramento that is actually what it means

[warped jewel]

get into thhe grindset

[timber hamlet]

Oh

[ripe geyser]

But in my dream uni, it's got an 80% acceptance rate

[cinder gorge]

ur getting free stuff?

[ripe geyser]

But I wouldn't put it as a safety cause the average GPA there is a 3.8

[cinder gorge]

lucky u

I have to pay for uni and that console

[warped jewel]

grade 11 science introduces a lot of things grade 8-10 doesn't teach

[compact plaza]

Is anyone else's dream college their safety

[timber hamlet]

i hope i can get my C’s up

by the end of the year

[ripe geyser]

That means that the only people that apply there are hyper competetive

[cinder gorge]

i need to do more compeititons

[timber hamlet]

i might get it up in chemistry

[ripe geyser]

You have the opportunity to get more shit than this person cause you got a job

Man I fucking miss working at a maccas

[warped jewel]

you should be able to buy a console if you work a summer job

[cinder gorge]

Okay

[ripe geyser]

I gotta go back to a 9-5 once school ends again

[timber hamlet]

yeah that usually worries me bc

[cinder gorge]

keep in mind, im in debt cuz of my flute

[timber hamlet]

i’m not the most smartest at my school

[cinder gorge]

yes

[ripe geyser]

Nah, CSU Sac is actually pretty normal

[cinder gorge]

That's better than school tho

[compact plaza]

Maybe don't buy like 3k gold stuff for ur flute cuh

[cinder gorge]

Working a 9-5

[timber hamlet]

i see my peers in my Honors classes and to me their geniuses and all get A’s

[ripe geyser]

It's not

[timber hamlet]

but then I have a C

[ripe geyser]

We work minimum wage jobs over the summer lol

[cinder gorge]

welll, there arnt many options

[ripe geyser]

Luckily in cali our minimum wage is 15 USD an hour but still

that's about 600 bucks a week

[cinder gorge]

Same in Alberta

[warped jewel]

I heavily prefer working over school

[compact plaza]

Intelligence isn't about grades tho

[ripe geyser]

this is not a lot of money lol

[compact plaza]

Just do extracurriculars and career stuff

[timber hamlet]

Can i get 3 Certificates of biliteracy?

[compact plaza]

It's one of the strongest aspects of my application at least

[cinder gorge]

I got a job that's pays 150 a day for landscape

[warped jewel]

truly a California moment

[compact plaza]

Pretty good

[timber hamlet]

I (will) know 3 languages other than english

[ripe geyser]

At least for me I can actually save up that 600 bucks a week I earn though and put it towards a college counselor or some shit lol

[timber hamlet]

but the end of the school year

[cinder gorge]

And I am work in August

[ripe geyser]

Granted that shit's espensiveeeee

I think Crimson costs like 10 grand or something

[compact plaza]

Why would u buy a college counselor 💀

[ripe geyser]

I need to work for 17 weeks to afford crimson, assuming I don't get my income taxed

[ripe geyser]

My college counselor is... a unique one

[compact plaza]

My school's counselor is goated

[ripe geyser]

Granted I'm actually not gonna get a college counselor

I'm more likely to spend that money on my business cause this shit hard

Granted, getting like 7k is not a whole lot for a company

Buuuut it's enough to at least start getting a website and actually being able to prepare a slide deck for angel investing

Which is all I can really ask for

I say 7k but I'm not taking into account other expenses and shit. Accounting for that bullshit I got like 3-5k over the summer

[cinder gorge]

My parents want to pay for uni but I want to pay myself what should I do ?

[compact plaza]

Ur rejecting ur parents offer to do so?

Why would u do that lmao

[timber hamlet]

Scholarship mb?

[warped jewel]

you pay your parents back

[timber hamlet]

also how do you have that much money

[cinder gorge]

I have 24k saved and my job earns me 4 grand a summer and that's 12 k 36k and one tear at u of c is 9800 ?

[ripe geyser]

Canada moment

[cinder gorge]

Accident payout

[compact plaza]

Canadians

[ripe geyser]

Uh I think you'll be fine with that much

[cinder gorge]

Was in a crash

[ripe geyser]

Oh

[timber hamlet]

Oh

[ripe geyser]

That money went to you?

Doesn't that money go to the legal guardian of the victim if they're under 18?

[cinder gorge]

I was a passenger

[ripe geyser]

Is this dude an emancipated minor?

[cinder gorge]

It went to my account

That I can't touch until I'm 18

Neither can my parents

[ripe geyser]

Oh that's weird I've never heard of that before

Either way 24k is a lot of money

I believe most canadian unis cost like 8k a year or something before financial aid

[cinder gorge]

U of c is 9800 one year

[ripe geyser]

That money is enough by itself, but you'll most likely get a job as well to pay for other expenses

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

So ?

What should I do take the offer

[magic orbit]

try talk to your parents first

[cinder gorge]

Ai

They want to pay

But we're living ai they already paid for my sister

cant u take out a loan?

[ripe geyser]

I mean just accept their payment

[cinder gorge]

Ai

[ripe geyser]

Not everyone is financially stupid enough to take out loans as a teenager 💀

[cinder gorge]

How you guys going to pay

[ripe geyser]

ALso that should never be a suggestion unless there's no other option

[cinder gorge]

i never took out a loan

Are your parents also paying

[timber hamlet]

im planning to get a scholarship

[cinder gorge]

loan

[ripe geyser]

My school has a thing called dual enrollment where you spend 46 bucks to take a full semester of college courses for cheap

[cinder gorge]

Oh

Nice

[ripe geyser]

So I get my first year for 46 bucks total and then I spend like 4k on my second year for my associates

[cinder gorge]

Who has school tomorrow?

[timber hamlet]

I heard there is such things as scholarships for being certain nationalities and i think nowadays my nationality might have scholarship

[ripe geyser]

Hopefully by then I would've secured enough scholarships

[cinder gorge]

💯💯🤞🏾

[ripe geyser]

What nationality are you?

[timber hamlet]

Ukrainian

[ripe geyser]

Are you a Ukraine citizen?

Cause nationality means citizen of that place

[timber hamlet]

i meant ethnicity

[ripe geyser]

Nope that's not how it works

[timber hamlet]

I cant have a Ukrainian Citizenship unless i revoke my American one

[cinder gorge]

😭

[ripe geyser]

Nationality means that you are a sovereign citizen of that country

[cinder gorge]

Lol

[ripe geyser]

So you do not get any scholarships sadly

You are an immigrant though so you can apply for those scholarships

Assuming you lived in ukraine at some point

[timber hamlet]

But theres ethnicity scholarships right

[ripe geyser]

If you didn't then you don't get those scholarships either

[ripe geyser]

Only for black and hispanics

[timber hamlet]

My teacher once told us that his son got a scholarship for being Jewish

[ripe geyser]

That's more of a religious scholarship

Not an ethnic one

If you believe in a certain religion you can get unique scholarships

So muslims get scholarships, christians get scholarships, buddhists get some too, etc.

[tough sun]

This possible for Indian?.

[warped jewel]

There's so many Indian people here so like

😔

[cinder gorge]

I got a 95 on my paper the grade just got posted lol

Let's gooooooooooo

[timber hamlet]

Am i first generation College if my mom went to a technical School

in a different country

[ripe geyser]

If you live in India and are an Indian citizen, yes

India has many scholarships like that

I think actually the most of any nation

Sadly Lebanon has no such scholarships

Granted it doesn't matter, I never accepted my Lebanese citizenship to begin with

I'm not risking getting drafted in no war any time soon

[tough sun]

But I am atheist

[ripe geyser]

India =/= Hinduism or whatever religion is common there

It's a seperate entity

You are an Indian and thus qualify for Indian scholarships

That's how it works

You are not a buddhist so you do not qualify for buddhist scholarships

Or a hindu

[timber hamlet]

Wait is there scholarships for being a native speaker of a language

[ripe geyser]

Or any other nation

[ripe geyser]

I believe there's some out there but I'm not certain

Man I wish I could delete things 💀

[warped jewel]

did lil bro log onto your computer

tf

[ripe geyser]

Bro got a little feisty after figuring out he can save money 💀💀💀

[warped jewel]

[cinder gorge]

Lol

Does anyone watch sports ?

[warped jewel]

only world cup

[timber hamlet]

same

and i watch super bowl for the ads

[tough sun]

Badminton, tennis

[cinder gorge]

Nfl

[cinder gorge]

hockey basketball

and i play em

[tough sun]

Personally I like to play sports games on PS4 rather than playing outside

[ripe geyser]

Sports games are ASS

I play ball by myself 💀

[tough sun]

Just kick on wall 💀

[cinder gorge]

^^^^

[ripe geyser]

Ball as in basketball

[dense void]

should i self-study ap csp and replace it with apush?
here is my schedule for 12th grade:

• ap lang
• ap calc bc
• ap stat
• ap csp
• public speaking & debate
• sports, recreation & leadership
• mandarin 3
  p/s: my school only allows for a max of 4 aps

[safe sand]

i have to choose b/w economics and ad maths
what should i take?

[tough sun]

Math if you want to pursue core career like engineering

[safe sand]

kk

thx

[tough sun]

@ripe geyser can give better advice

Don't trust me

[safe sand]

k lol

[tough sun]

[austere tulip]

Bruh...I hate it when schools ban u from trying to make your education more advanced. Anyways, so yeah I'd recommend not doing CSP because it's a pretty joke class, especially if u have the coding language. Go with Apush and yeah CSPshould be easy to self study. Everything else is fine

[ripe geyser]

never self study

Drop CSP cause CSP is a joke but do not self study for it

There is no benefit to self studying as many AOs have already said that all it causes them to do is ask "what would this person done if he had spent his time better"

[fringe heron]

Hey so I am a freshman right now and I was wondering whether to take physics and then AP physics next year or to take chem instead

I am more interested in physics

But I’ve heard people say that chem is a good idea because it is a pre req for many other science APs except physics

[deep pier]

I think you should go for ap phy and try out normal chem lessons and if you like them.. well you can always upgrade to an ap.

(just my opinion lol)

[cinder gorge]

cant u just take a test to pass the prereq class? or do the equivalent in summer?

[fringe heron]

I wish I could take chem in the summer but they don’t allow it at my school

[cinder gorge]

cc?

hence the "do the equivalent in summer?"

[fringe heron]

Yea but I won’t get the credit required to take other sciences in school

[cinder gorge]

yes u will

if u show proof that u tooken the class and passed, its the same as taking the class

[fringe heron]

Rlly?

[cinder gorge]

y

e

[fringe heron]

Do u have any recommendations from were to take the class over the summer

Like an online program

[cinder gorge]

just take the class

u can do that if u want

[deep pier]

What if after taking cc in summers you take a chem exam in ur school and if you pass.. well you'll get credit ig

[fringe heron]

Ok that’s smart

[deep pier]

Moorpark program is online and cheap as hell

[fringe heron]

Ok I’ll check it out

[ripe geyser]

Take chem first and then go to AP physics

There’s a reason why it is like that

[fringe heron]

Ok I see what you are saying but many people in my grade are taking physics and ap physics next year

[fringe heron]

What sciences did u take and in what graded

[ripe geyser]

9th: Introduction to Earth, Space, and Physics
10th: AP Biology (I regret not taking high school chem)

[fringe heron]

Why do u regret

I just want to know

[ripe geyser]

Planned classes:
Summer of 10th: Chem M01 at a local CC
11th: IB Physics SL
12th: IB Sports, exercise, and health science SL

[fringe heron]

One reason I’m taking ap physics next year is because if I take it in 11 with ap calc and apush I thought it would be too much

[ripe geyser]

I have no fucking clue how anything works

Turns out there’s a lot of chem involved in biology

[fringe heron]

Yea well

[ripe geyser]

I do not know how each of the concepts tie to each other

It’s causing me to really struggle on my AP Practices

[cinder gorge]

but people say that ap bio is easier then chem

[fringe heron]

Rlly

I thought it was the other way around

[cinder gorge]

y the chem m01?

[ripe geyser]

Not biochem lol

Regular chem is so fucking easy compared to biochem cause now in biochem you need to deal with MASSIVE fucking molecules where you can have the same exact molecules in the same spot but end up with different shapes depending on a variety of factors

All of that shit is annoying as fuck to keep track of

I need 1 basic chem course to take Physics SL

[warped ember]

Hey

[fringe heron]

Oh at our school it’s not required for physics

[warped ember]

I need a lil uni advice pls

[cinder gorge]

do u think its better to do ap bio junior or ap chem

[cinder gorge]

what

[warped ember]

Are u in uni?

[cinder gorge]

Technically yes

[warped ember]

I preferably need an American maths uni student lmao sorry that's spesific

[deep pier]

It's easier becz not all concepts are involved.. but chem is like necessary for bio

[ripe geyser]

For you easily bio

You’re a premed major, chem helps but not nearly as much as bio

Then senior year take Psych or smth

[warped ember]

Or just any uni student at this point

[ripe geyser]

What do you need help with?

[warped ember]

I'm confused on how American uni is gonna work for me and what I need to do

[ripe geyser]

I’m a community college student but it’s close enough to uni

[ripe geyser]

Oh if you’re from Europe it won’t

European unis are significantly better than US unis

[warped ember]

I wanna go to a US uni because the maths im doing rn is supposedly already mid level uni stuff and im only 17 so I'd have some time for once to get back on top of the class

[ripe geyser]

I would encourage going to a uni in Europe, especially in Germany or the UK

[ripe geyser]

US uni is slower than EU uni

You are going to be 4 years ahead the curve here rather than 3

[warped ember]

yh

[ripe geyser]

Well not 4 actually I think it’s 5

You’d need to take grad courses

[warped ember]

I'm not in uni yet and I know maths in the complex plane, hyperbolic trig, calc, series and summation, bla bla bla

but I have this year and next before I go to uni

[ripe geyser]

This is normal high school level math

Well not hyperbolic trig
