[violet dagger]

good luck

[cinder gorge]

I cant do that cuz my cc doesnt offer what i want so i need to take it at a different cc

[wise forge]

yeah

I need to be 16 so I can take it at another one which offers all of the classes

i mean a junior

my brain fucked

i am 16

ignore that

[violet dagger]

ignore what? (:

[half ferry]

Does doing 2 language aps look good?

[severe meadow]

Look good to which/what factor/s?

[half ferry]

Wdym?

I’m already planning to do ap Japanese since I already speak it, but should I also do it for Spanish? Or is that not worth it?

I’m not planning to go into something language related if that makes sense

[cinder gorge]

it doesnt

[half ferry]

Like a major that uses that language

[gloomy lotus]

yes then go for it

majors like linguistics or a certain culture study, taking a few languages will good

although if you can take a language test and put that instead, that's fine as well

[half ferry]

But if you aren’t doing something like that, it’s not worth it?

[gloomy lotus]

like if theres an online Japanese certification test or something you can take, you can list that down instead of taking it as an AP

[gloomy lotus]

I wouldn't say it's not worth it, but there are definitely better things you could be taking instead

[half ferry]

I just thought maybe also doing Spanish would sort of show that I went an “extra mile”

[half ferry]

Ok thx

[gloomy lotus]

What's your preferred major?

[half ferry]

Something social science related or stem

[gloomy lotus]

Yeah, then I'd try to stick to one language AP, and spend the other AP on physics, calc, stats, bio, chem, something like that.

You can still showcase your fluency in the 2nd language with some sort of exam you could probably take somewhere

[half ferry]

Oh no I’m self studying the ap Japanese

But I can also take ap Spanish at school

[gloomy lotus]

Ohh, makes more sense

it's all up to you really

but for STEM, I wouldn't put too much of an emphasis on languages. Being bilingual as it is, is good enough

[half ferry]

Ok well I still have some time

Thx a lot

[ripe geyser]

Whatever you deem to be worth it is what's worth it lol

If you genuinely want to take AP Spanish then I see no reason not to

My only recommendation is to not self-study AP classes

There's a lot of stigma against people who self study and it generally harms your application more than it helps

Doing it once or twice is fine (especially if you take a related class or it's for a subject that you want to clear the gen ed requirements for) but anymore isn't recommended

[half ferry]

Do you know why that is?

[half ferry]

Will keep that in mind, thx

[ripe geyser]

It's mostly because the AOs think that you have poor time management skills

If you do it more than once or twice most AOs at top schools will usually ask the question "if this person's application is like this then I wonder how good it could've been if they had spent their time on things they enjoy?" and then reject you

[cinder gorge]

I need help with something guys

What should I do in uni lol

Can’t decide

I like science physics Chem bio and social what should I do

[cinder gorge]

who told u this?

[ripe geyser]

Director of admissions of USC

I asked him a quesiton taht was like "I'm taking IB classes but I also want to take the AP exam variant, is that a good idea?" and he explained that if it's an equivalent class or a class you're taking at a regular/honors level then it's probably fine. The problem really only comes if you're taking a self study in a class you've had no experience in at all

[amber owl]

is it true that final exam grades and first semester exam grades will be on your transcript?

[ripe geyser]

No, but they will still affect your GPA

Unless your school puts them on your transcript

Then yes, they will appear on your transcript

Different schools have different transcripts after all, if you want more information about your school specifically ask your counselor for information about your transcripts

[amber owl]

oh alr, i kind of hope it will not be on my transcript lol

im just a bit worried about it because im taking a few honor classes

[ripe geyser]

See pins

[cinder gorge]

no one cares if ur worried or not

[tired marten]

hey guys, I'm planning to take ap lang, apush, ap calc ab, ap research, ap bio, computer science and programming and spanish 3. do you guys think taking ap chem would be a good idea instead of ap bio?

[vital olive]

major?

[tired marten]

comp sci

I'm planning to take ap physics in my senior year shuld I take it next year instead?

[vital olive]

oh yes

take ohysic s

sorry wrong reply

take physics

not bc of major

i mean partially bc of major

but it’s more math involved and cs is also math involved

you’ll have an easier time with it

[tired marten]

ah ok but will it be very stressful? I heard physics is hard

[cinder gorge]

Arguably the hardest ap

[tired marten]

hm so what do you think I should do?

[cinder gorge]

do spanish 3 in the summer

via sa or de

[vital olive]

do you think you’d be interested?

[tired marten]

what is sa or de?

[cinder gorge]

special admit, dual enrolement

[tired marten]

I'm not exactly sure I do enjoy math tho

[vital olive]

then go for ap ohshics

[tired marten]

I plan on taking ap spanish senior year so wouldn't it be a problem if I forget everything over the year?

[cinder gorge]

y ap spnaihs?

[ripe geyser]

Special Admit or Dual Enrollment
They're both college courses you take in high school. The difference is SA doesn't give you high school credits while DE does

[tired marten]

honestly idk lol to boost my college apps cuz by taking only 3 years I'm just taking the bare minimum to get accepted into UC

[tired marten]

I can do DE over the summer?

[cinder gorge]

then do de spanish if its offered

[cinder gorge]

yes

[ripe geyser]

If it's offered ye

[cinder gorge]

if u NEED the extra yr, just do sa spanish and get the seal of bilitaricy

in the summer or something

or online or whatever

[tired marten]

hmm so in my college apps it will still show as me doing spanish 3 and ap spanish if I do it thru sa?

[cinder gorge]

no

its gonna be on ur college transcript

which they will see

but it still gives u seal of bilitaricy

and there is no ap spanish thru sa

[ripe geyser]

Most schools don't offer seals of biliteracy lol

Just take AP Spanish

[cinder gorge]

sa is the college class where u go to the lecture hall or online

[tired marten]

so it only offers spanish 3?

[cinder gorge]

or just do computer science and programming during the summer or online

[cinder gorge]

its a college class

but if theres the equivalent, it might offer everything

[tired marten]

I'm doing the Harvard CS50 class but it doesn't give credit and idk where csp is offered online

[cinder gorge]

doesnt give college credit?

[tired marten]

I mean just like credit in general

[cinder gorge]

mabey cuz ur not enrolled at the school, u might be part of an org at harvard but not admitted at harvard

[tired marten]

I'm doing it to get certification

[cinder gorge]

for?

[tired marten]

just for the course so I can apply to internships

[cinder gorge]

its a pre req class?

[tired marten]

no but like I wanna show I know some programming languages

[cinder gorge]

thats not how u know programming lang

it shows that u learned it

[severe meadow]

What I meant was, if it was going to be related/requirement/helpful to your future goals. For me, I don't take language classes at school because I'm taking STEM courses, and that's not something I can teach myself easily. Language lessons can be self taught for me and it's easier to get resources online and from someone who's fluent in those particular languages I'm studying. I also asked which or what factors you wanted to see, because speaking/having studied lots of languages don't matter in most universities. Like they are impressive and important, but it's just one of the minor factors to show. That's because you could show something bigger aside from taking a couple of AP languages.

[tired marten]

I mean to get the certificate you gotta do some projects as well

[wise forge]

wait really?

i thought all cali schools did

[ripe geyser]

Mine doesn’t

[austere tulip]

edx courses don't give credit

[austere tulip]

Not necessarily

I think your advice once again is too localized

Because for example

IN my school

to get a seal of biliteracy, you have to either get a 4 or 5 on the ap exam or take a separate biliteracy test

the courses simply don't give it to u

[cinder gorge]

Oh, for us its just 4 yrs of foreign lang or equivalent

[cinder gorge]

Any good collages providing bachelor in finance and technology in UK or India I'm looking for list right now

[cinder gorge]

U dont look for a list

U make 1

[deep pier]

https://www.collegedekho.com/mba/fintech-colleges-in-india/

[tough sun]

@cinder gorge which country are you from

[ripe geyser]

In the Uk it’s pretty much all of them

[tough sun]

For making 1 he need to look at 1

[cinder gorge]

?

I cant understand ur english

[tough sun]

To produce one, he must examine one

[deep pier]

I think he's trynna say that hunter should only aim for one ....

But tbh that's not how clg apps work... He should prob apply to few reaches, targets and safeties.... (correct me if I'm wrong)

[cinder gorge]

Nope

U can just make 1

Not that hard

U just search

[cinder gorge]

Yeah, u right, i dont think lawleit knows what hes talking about

[deep pier]

Are we talkin abt the clg list or colleges here?

[deep pier]

I think he's just confused here..

[cinder gorge]

College list

Like for me, i only have like 6 colleges in mind

[deep pier]

Yeah

And yale's ur reach ryt?

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

[cinder gorge]

India

[cinder gorge]

Ty but wouldn't I need bba first

[deep pier]

Yeah

Tbh I think IIM and Christ college banglore are some good ones.

[jade raft]

Ooo christ college is in bangalore? Damnn

[cinder gorge]

I'm in Grade 10 and debating over whether to take 3 semesters of French or 3 semesters of this course called Digital Arts which is stuff like photography,editing,graphic design,animation, and 3D Modeling any advice?

Just do all of it

I cant do both

It's either French or Digital Arts

[cinder gorge]

Any advice?

[cinder gorge]

Advice on what

[cinder gorge]

Y not

[cinder gorge]

Not enough room in schedule

[cinder gorge]

Then make space

[cinder gorge]

This is my schedule and there's nothing I can take online or remove

[cinder gorge]

Yes u can

[cinder gorge]

Online isnt ur only option

What else is there?

De, sa, summer

What's sa?

Special admit

We don't have de at our district and all the courses I'm taking rn cannot be taken in the summer

[austere tulip]

lol

i swear

duck be aware of the WORLD

or COUNTRY for that matter

[austere tulip]

6 is a good number

but with increasing competition

u should have more

[cinder gorge]

What about sa

Or summer

[austere tulip]

I recommend doing french

[austere tulip]

he said

he can't do summer

[cinder gorge]

Sa?

[austere tulip]

and sa is very localized

it isn't everywhere

[cinder gorge]

Sa is just de

But a lil different

[austere tulip]

yeah exactly

if he doesn't have de

he probably doesn't have sa

[austere tulip]

Reason: Because I am super bias. But like I honestly think another language is also pretty important.

[cinder gorge]

Then get de

[austere tulip]

the ignorance 😡

Anyways, but if you find yourself really talented in digital arts, then I would say give up the french 😦

[wise forge]

Special admit?

Special admit is open to everyone, not just high school students

it is no where near the same as DE

high school students that do special admit are just abusing a program what it was not meant for

[cinder gorge]

then whats special admit

[wise forge]

special admit is the process by wherein unis and colleges accept students who don’t necessarily meet the qualifications for admission

so like, UCs use it to admit those from disenfranchised backgrounds

or com college use it to accept those who never got a high school diploma

or felons

/ sex offenders

[gloomy lotus]

Yeah, kids going to top colleges do this like junior/senior year. From your schedule, I think it looks managable and your classes dont seem too bad. AP Art History, APES, and AP Research aren't bad. I would try to review a bit of Bio and APUSH a bit if possible so you have some basic info before going into school.

It's definitely challenging, but if you're confident in the subjects, I think it's a plausible schedule.

I don't think it's that big of an overkill since you have some easier APs in there to balance it out. I have no idea what your major is, but overall this isn't that bad compared to the crazy triple-science APs I've seen others take.

Also note that taking a ton of APs doesn't guarantee admission anywhere. Not saying you won't get in, but make sure to keep good ECs, good connections with your teachers, good SAT/ACT score (if you're not test-optional), and having fun in highschool ontop of your classes!

Goodluck! I think your schedule is definitely manageable!

[fathom wolf]

hey guys

do you think this schedule is okay?

for 9th grade

Earth Science

Geometry honors

Pre-AP world history

English Honors

intro to cybersecurity

Spanish 1

[severe meadow]

It looks good and relaxing to me for a 9th grader.

[fathom wolf]

oh

awesome

thank you

[cinder gorge]

no

[fathom wolf]

pardon?

i don't know what you mean by "no"

[cinder gorge]

[fathom wolf]

perfect

so

[cinder gorge]

i didnt take 9th grade seriously cuz its a time a relax and just have fun

[fathom wolf]

well

i'm a bit scared

for high school

so

[cinder gorge]

y would i accept ur request?

is there a reason?

[cinder gorge]

What 😭😭

Bruh I’m so scared cause everything is gonna be gpa

[fathom wolf]

idk borger, just sent you a request

[cinder gorge]

Thats not true

[cinder gorge]

For me it is

Cause 9th is part of high school

[cinder gorge]

Y

[fathom wolf]

ikr

[cinder gorge]

Wdym y

Im asking y

Theres not much to it for the question

[fathom wolf]

borger

[cinder gorge]

But like

“Why is it gpa”

Bc that’s how the school is set up 😭

[fathom wolf]

cause you need it to get into college

[cinder gorge]

Just gpa aint gonna get u anywhere

[cinder gorge]

hell no

[fathom wolf]

kinda true

[cinder gorge]

it dont work like that

[cinder gorge]

Exactly but it’s part of it

[cinder gorge]

so ur saying all my ecs like my 2 jobs, founder and pres of a club, co-founder and vp of another club, CSULB orchestra, music comps, etc; doesnt come into play in college apps??

[cinder gorge]

yes, part of it but its not just gpa

Ik

just gpa isnt gonna take u to a lot of places

ok??? and?

But having a low gpa doesn’t look good does it ?

[cinder gorge]

hell no

[fathom wolf]

just saying like studying is harder bc of my family

they always compare me to others

[cinder gorge]

its not harder, they just want more

I’m not saying everything relys on gpa, I’m just saying it’s important to maintain a decent gpa

[cinder gorge]

ok? and? just be better then them

[cinder gorge]

It’s not that simple.

[fathom wolf]

bruh its not like you can be magically be better than them

exactly @cinder gorge

[cinder gorge]

yeah ik, i dont have all my ecs for nothing

[cinder gorge]

u work towards it

Does ec stand for extra curricular

like i didnt get a scholership my freshman yr for nothing

nor was my opportunity to play with a University's orchestra

[fathom wolf]

yeah, you have to practice for months

[cinder gorge]

not months

years

[fathom wolf]

or even years

[cinder gorge]

so far, its 7 yrs

[fathom wolf]

yes

@cinder gorge can you accept my request?

pls

[cinder gorge]

y would i

[fathom wolf]

um

bc

i think

you're cool

ig

[cinder gorge]

ok? and i think the current friends i have is cool; ie the people who got accepted to harvard, prinston, ucla, upenn, yale, etc

[fathom wolf]

soo?

[cinder gorge]

so y do i need u in my dms?

[fathom wolf]

idc if you need me or not, but i need u

[cinder gorge]

for?

[tardy token]

thats good for 9th

[cinder gorge]

my schedule be jam packed next yr lol

[fathom wolf]

thanks man

[fathom wolf]

to be better i think

[cinder gorge]

at?

[fathom wolf]

everything

[cinder gorge]

uh huh

1. thats not gonna happen
2. "everything" is very subjective

[fathom wolf]

what if i persuade you?

[cinder gorge]

go ahead

[fathom wolf]

first, everyone starts from a weak point

i know that you prefer the higher level people but

[tardy token]

ngl getting better at everything is something u do on ur own

you need to learn disipline and commit to improving yourself

[cinder gorge]

^

[fathom wolf]

helping someone doesn't hurt

[tardy token]

if theres certian things u wanna improve the internet is a great place to find resources

[ripe geyser]

❌

[tardy token]

true true

[cinder gorge]

But sometimes surrounding urself with successful people helps in the process

[ripe geyser]

There are countless high quality schools that guarantee admissions based on GPA

[fathom wolf]

yeahh

[cinder gorge]

t100?

[fathom wolf]

and borger i assume is one of them

[tardy token]

but its also hard to expect someone online to go outa their way for u randomly

[cinder gorge]

What is t100??

[cinder gorge]

Something

[ripe geyser]

I believe Tulane has guaranteed admissions for anyone inside of Lousiana and has a GPA of a 3.0 or higher

[ripe geyser]

Top 100

t50 = top 50 and t20 = top 20

[cinder gorge]

Ohh thx

[cinder gorge]

Something is very vague don’t u agree?

[ripe geyser]

Oh wait I almost forgot about UC Merced as well lol

[fathom wolf]

ok sooo

[ripe geyser]

Then there's UT Austin, Texas A and M, and Texas Tech which yes they aren't solely GPA they still will guarantee admissions with you being in a high end of your class

ASU as well

[fathom wolf]

i have to go to bed now

[ripe geyser]

Here's some schools with guaranteed admissions, most of these programs are only for GPA and nothing else: https://www.collegekickstart.com/blog/item/colleges-offering-assured-automatic-guaranteed-admissions-class-of-2027

just having a good GPA gets you into a lot of places lol

[wise forge]

Doesn't UCI and UCD do a similar thing as well with top 10%

[ripe geyser]

Do they?

[wise forge]

i thought

[cinder gorge]

oh rlly???

[fathom wolf]

uhh borger idk if you're here but just add me you're not gonna regret it

[cinder gorge]

yes i will; i will regret it

[wise forge]

i know UC as a whole guarentees you into admission into a campus if you are top 10, i just think most of the time they get thrown there

[ripe geyser]

huh

[tardy token]

gpa is like the most important thing

[fathom wolf]

i guarantee you won't. i keep my word.

[ripe geyser]

If you're from cali and are in the top 9% of high school students using their requirements you're guaranteed admissions into some campus

[fathom wolf]

ok i rlly need to go now

[wise forge]

top 9 dam

[cinder gorge]

ur a 8th grader

[wise forge]

so close

[ripe geyser]

Doesn't have to be UCI or anything, just a campus you didn't apply to

[fathom wolf]

so?

[tardy token]

bro an ageist

me personally

i like them young

[ripe geyser]

So theoretically you could apply to UC Merced and if you get denied there you can insead be guaranteed admission into UC Berkeley lol

[cinder gorge]

💀

[wise forge]

i wonder how you know if youre in the top 9 if ýour school doesn't do class rank

[deep pier]

Berkeley goes for Gpa too? Tf

[fathom wolf]

the-

[wise forge]

mine doesn't

[cinder gorge]

These r the types of words I be making up 😭😭

[tardy token]

legit every top school does

[cinder gorge]

yeah, our school doesnt do ranking

[ripe geyser]

It's based on their index system

[cinder gorge]

which is?

[fathom wolf]

imma go

[cinder gorge]

Bye Natali

[fathom wolf]

@cinder gorge bye ig also pls accept my request.

byee sheryl

[deep pier]

Mine doesn't too... Actually in my school there are around 200 students in 12th grade lol

[ripe geyser]

You take that number of courses and you also get that GPA

[wise forge]

DAYM

[ripe geyser]

So an example for me, I'm taking a total of 59 courses which'd mean that I need at least a 3.8 to be in the top 9% of cali students

Note: 1 course is for 1 semester

So you actually usually double the amount of courses lol

[cinder gorge]

59 courses isnt bad if its per semester

[ripe geyser]

Yeye

[wise forge]

ill have 44 courses that are considered A-G I think

[cinder gorge]

idk how many ill have

prob like 1000

[wise forge]

between sophomore and junior

[cinder gorge]

this all of hs or just sophore + junior?

[ripe geyser]

That's:
7+6+5+5+2+11+11+6+6

[ripe geyser]

All of high school

9-12th grades

[wise forge]

10-11

[cinder gorge]

ohh, thats very do-able

[ripe geyser]

❌

For this system it's your UC GPA and every course you've taken throughout high school

[wise forge]

oh

tf thats sick

thats like beneficial

[wise forge]

o

[ripe geyser]

So it's each semester starting in Freshman year

Of A-G coursework

[cinder gorge]

how do i know what A-G req i completed?

[deep pier]

I'm assuming this system doesn't work for intl students... Ryt?

[wise forge]

ILL HAVE 82

[cinder gorge]

cuz i just do classes and hope it covers for something

[cinder gorge]

nah

[wise forge]

so im like

guarenteed a spot at a UC

[ripe geyser]

If your GPA is above a 3.6 you will have a guaranteed spot at the UC system

You won't know where

But you'll have one

[wise forge]

S i c k

[deep pier]

Check this

https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/freshman-requirements/subject-requirement-a-g.html

[cinder gorge]

lemmie see how many ill be doing

[wise forge]

that means i don't have to apply to a safety UC

[cinder gorge]

does de count?

or just hs courses

[wise forge]

ye

DE counts towards A-G allegedly

[cinder gorge]

i did 19 classes this yr LMAO

[deep pier]

💀

[wise forge]

i did 20

lol

[cinder gorge]

damn

[ripe geyser]

DE does but in a weird sense

Each individual DE course counts for 1 semester rather than 1 year like on A-G

As DE courses are 1 semester long

[cinder gorge]

ye ye

then i did my math right

[ripe geyser]

And it's on an individual course basis

So theoretically you could do like 6 1 credit courses and it'd count more to your total than 3 3 credit courses

[wise forge]

the a-g requires it be over 3 units or 4 quarter units

[ripe geyser]

note this admissions guarantee only applies if the uni has open slots

[cinder gorge]

damn my gpa is low, my freshman yr rlly killed me

[wise forge]

freshman year doesn't count into UC GPA :)

[cinder gorge]

oh then i have a 4.0 rn

i kinda started de kinda late so yeah...

[wise forge]

yeah

I started DE the summer so i had a UC GPA of 5.0 for a bit

lmao

ONE COURSE IS CERTIFIED AS A FULL YEAR UNDER A-G THO

just not GPA

means ill have like 6 years of english under A-G

and 6 years of math

they won't count my science as science tho

cus no lab

i took bio anthro and will take bio psych

[cinder gorge]

im planned to take 76 classes in my entire hs yrs

[wise forge]

does health count in A-G?

[cinder gorge]

de?

[cinder gorge]

yeah i think so

[wise forge]

ye

then my ass will have 83 courses planned

and im not counting PE or TA

or anything like that

im taking free 4th period

[ripe geyser]

see your school

[cinder gorge]

thats cuz ur doing more then 11 units of de, im only do 11 cuz im too broke

[wise forge]

then prob not

[wise forge]

No, im not counting those

[ripe geyser]

https://hs-articulation.ucop.edu/agcourselist/results;searchType=1

If it pops up in that list then it's A-G certified

[cinder gorge]

then y's the # of classes so high?

[wise forge]

nope not a-g

[wise forge]

BC one of my classes is double blocked, and im taking 2 classes at a CC every semester

[cinder gorge]

double blocked?

[wise forge]

1 sm count as a full year

[cinder gorge]

ohh

thats y

whats the class?

[ripe geyser]

Theory of Knowledge is apperantly a weighted UC course

it's not weighted in my school but it's weighted in the UC system

[cinder gorge]

wtf is that

[ripe geyser]

It's a requirement you need to take for the IB

[cinder gorge]

ahh

[ripe geyser]

it's a course that discusses the nature of knowledge

Pretty much what it says on the tin

[cinder gorge]

idk how to make my schedule more efficient

[wise forge]

my school weights no honors courses or pre-ap courses except honors english 10, and then CTE english in some circumstances

[ripe geyser]

Funnily enough UC system doesn't know that math HL exists lol

[cinder gorge]

tbh... im kinda a late bloomer so life hit me kinda late

[wise forge]

[ripe geyser]

There's a lot of courses missing actually

I might have to ask my school what's up with that at some point

[wise forge]

hm

[ripe geyser]

I find it strange to give Algebra I a UC certification but not give IB Math HL one

[wise forge]

u h

odd

UC hates IB tho

they don't even let you certify IGETC with it

[cinder gorge]

dang

[ripe geyser]

que?

what's IGETC?

[wise forge]

[wise forge]

no

I hate the format of your dam course list

its a pain to read

[cinder gorge]

oh lmao

[cinder gorge]

seems organized tho

[wise forge]

organized and good looking are different

[cinder gorge]

then what do u classify as looking good

[ripe geyser]

Why are you taking a 0 period during senior year?

Aite ig just ignore my advice lol

[cinder gorge]

cuz of band

marching band

[ripe geyser]

Aite well don't take online courses lol

As I said give yourself as much time as you can for Senior year in order to make applications go by smoothly

[cinder gorge]

y not

[wise forge]

im taking a free period for one of mine lol

[ripe geyser]

Ik you're gonna say some stupid shit like "yeah but I can handle my current schedule just fine". While that's true you still want to be able to fucking write your damn essays lol

[wise forge]

make ur senior year as easy as possible

[ripe geyser]

He needs more than just 1 free period lool

[wise forge]

lmao

[ripe geyser]

Also why the fuck are you taking AP Physics as a bio major that shit don't mkae any sense

[cinder gorge]

mabey ill take out ap physics and have a TA period

[ripe geyser]

If you're into bio you do APES rather than physics lol

Or TA

[wise forge]

i only have 15 classes scheduled for senior year

[cinder gorge]

i mean.. ill have a TA period during junior yr spring semester

[ripe geyser]

And I also encourage getting rid of Gov/econ and psych online

[cinder gorge]

to work and whatever

[ripe geyser]

Same reason

[ripe geyser]

"only"

[cinder gorge]

i cant

gov/econ is necessory for grad

[ripe geyser]

Bro my school usually gets 3 classes schedule for senior year lol

[wise forge]

compared to 23 junior lmao

[ripe geyser]

6 semester units total

[cinder gorge]

i think i have like 25

or something idk

[wise forge]

senior year

[cinder gorge]

more like 30 ish

[wise forge]

fuck

[ripe geyser]

So wouldn't it be a better idea to drop wind ensamble for the year and then take AP Gov instead?

[cinder gorge]

12 fall, 13/14 spring, 4 during the summer

[wise forge]

my school rwquires we be in 2 academic classes senior year so thats why I have ap stats and ap chem

[cinder gorge]

i cant, wind is band

band takes 2 periods during fall

[wise forge]

psych and english don't count

[ripe geyser]

what fucking school requires you to take 2 periods for band

[wise forge]

congrats borger onreg

[ripe geyser]

Yee yee ass scchool

[cinder gorge]

ik, i hate marching band

[wise forge]

my school does that too

its standard

[cinder gorge]

yeah

[ripe geyser]

So why not take them online Junior year then?

[cinder gorge]

whos them?

[ripe geyser]

AP Gov/Econ

[cinder gorge]

oh look, i got a new role, lmao

i didnt even notice lmao

[wise forge]

do schools let you choose to not take those on campus senior year?

[cinder gorge]

i thinkn junior is too packed

[ripe geyser]

notices new role

"I didn't even notice"

?????

[wise forge]

💀

[cinder gorge]

idk

i dont pay attention

[ripe geyser]

Senior year is too packed lol

[cinder gorge]

yeah ik lmao

[ripe geyser]

If senior year is that packed that prolly means you're doing too much Junior year and it's harming you

[cinder gorge]

we'll see how it goes

[wise forge]

famous last words

[cinder gorge]

so true

[ripe geyser]

I fucking wish those super reactions were more obnoxious than they are

[wise forge]

tf is a super reaction

[ripe geyser]

das a super reaction

You can only do 5 though so I can't spam them to annoy the shit out of people

[wise forge]

rude

why only 5

that seems restrictive af

[ripe geyser]

Cause discord doesn't want you to annoy the shit out of people

[cinder gorge]

Scalesssss

[wise forge]

ban

no scales

[cinder gorge]

Someone ping me?

[wise forge]

my school offers AP french but its not A-G certified

[cinder gorge]

What about de french but at the ap level

[wise forge]

WAIT MY BAND CLASS ISN'T A-G

[wise forge]

tf

idk

[cinder gorge]

Like french 4 de

Or whatever

[wise forge]

we don't offer de

they don't have honors advanced band on there

[cinder gorge]

huh

[wise forge]

I have an honors F category class lmfao

My CC isn't on there... does that mean my classes don't count for A-G?

well thats because it didn't exist before 216

2016

[cinder gorge]

btw whats ur neuroscience class?

[wise forge]

its at a magnet school

[cinder gorge]

y tho?

y the neuroscience class?

[wise forge]

bc its a set

Its part of the english class

and the Psych class

they're all integrated together

[cinder gorge]

i c

is there a name for this program?

[wise forge]

no

ususally its for the dumb kids

that fail classes and stuff

but i just want a break so

yeah

[cinder gorge]

ahh

we cant do that cuz the class is specifically designed for students who failed so i cant do english other the summer even tho the class is for failed students

[wise forge]

yeah thats same

[olive thistle]

Are there any classes you should take the summer before your freshman year of college?

[cinder gorge]

Like what

And i dont think u can

Cuz for colleges u get admitted for the season of fall and not summer

[mighty mist]

If you have the money and interested you could go on the summer study abroad program if your college has that

[mighty mist]

More of a fun thing i think and definitely if you dont have the money not necessary

[cinder gorge]

Wdym

[olive thistle]

That would be really cool, but I don’t think I have that. I’m going to a state school with a 94% acceptance rate, so it’s hard to find a lot of opportunities outside of student organizations freshman year

[cinder gorge]

Ur still gonna have to pay for the credits either way

[mighty mist]

The college im going to has a summer study abroad the summer before for freshman and earns credits, though seems like a mostly fun thing

[cinder gorge]

Damn 94 is high

[cinder gorge]

What college do u go to

[mighty mist]

Not gonna say but it is north of you

[olive thistle]

Yeah I had really good grades in high school though so I can get a lot of scholarships. The school also ranks top 3 in student happiness every year, so that is definitely a plus

[cinder gorge]

Stanford??

[cinder gorge]

The college i go to its state too but only 40% acceptance

[mighty mist]

No

[cinder gorge]

UCLA?

How north we talking

[cinder gorge]

But tbh i go to like 3 colleges sooo

[olive thistle]

Dang 40% is pretty competitive, definitely more competitive than most state schools

[mighty mist]

CA state acceptance rates tend to be higher

[cinder gorge]

Ehh

It’s CSULB

[mighty mist]

No farther and im not saying

[cinder gorge]

What yr r u?

[olive thistle]

Cali is super cool, I was looking at UC Berkeley and UCLA, but they are both super expensive if you are from out of state

[cinder gorge]

Yeah UCLA is my #2

[olive thistle]

UCLA’s Campus looks beautiful, I’m trying to visit sometime

[mighty mist]

Technically 12th but sophomore standing for college

[cinder gorge]

Yeah, i went there and i heard that the food is rlly good

[olive thistle]

There’s so much to do there, you would never get board

[zenith gulch]

Hey guys- will taking Algebra 1 and regular science (not honors) hinder my chances of going to an ivy league? (i'm in freshman year and my main focus is more liberal, writing and english instead of science and math)

[cinder gorge]

Yeah but if u take the wrong turn, ull get robbed lol

[cinder gorge]

The LA area be kinda messy too tbh

And everything is soo expensive

[olive thistle]

Isn’t it pretty dangerous off-campus?

[cinder gorge]

Very

[olive thistle]

I wouldn’t like that lol

[cinder gorge]

Lol

Next yr i wanna organize a field trip thru my club but idk to UCLA

Cuz the buses costs soo much

Its like $500/bus

[half ferry]

You should be fine, but if possible I would take geometry over the summer so you get a little ahead.

[zenith gulch]

is that possible??

does that mean in sophmore year i can melt into the same course as the ones who started at geometry

[gloomy lotus]

Doesn't you school do it for you?

Our school covers most costs, what's left is collected through the students

like field trips have a 10$ fee, and the rest is paid by our school

[deep pier]

Our school doesn't even do field trips 😐

[ripe geyser]

If you haven't already taking high school chem will be useful for your genEd classes since many of them would ask for some background in chem

[ripe geyser]

❌

Clubs organize their own field trips

Which sucks if you're a Mun president like me cause you need to organize like 10 field trips per year 💀

Schools don't actually organize anything

If you have a school-wide field trip that's always organized by either your class council (your class president), by your teachers, or both

All the school does is send it off to the district to be approved

[tough sun]

You have funding for trips or you sponsor trip by your own?.

[ripe geyser]

You fundraise money for trips by yourself

So what that usually means is I sell a hoodie for about 200 bucks and that hoodie just so happens to also contain a free field trip

That's the way I usually get around those requirements

[tough sun]

You really sell your hoodie for trip

[ripe geyser]

Yeah cause I can't sell a field trip by itself in my school district

So I instead just do a workaround where I give people a hoodie that just so happens to include a field trip inside of it

[cinder gorge]

Where else r we supposed to get the $$$ from

For me i plan on selling food and setting up partnership with companies like panda express, 85 bakery, 7 leaves, etc

Link crew is non stop work lol

[cinder gorge]

Dang that’s expensive

It better be like gucci or something lol

[cinder gorge]

Can’t u apply for a grant from the district

Or the city

Cuz that’s what my neighboring school did

[cinder gorge]

To where?

[ripe geyser]

❌ our district is too small to provide that

[ripe geyser]

Usually we go to LA or San Diego for a 3 day weekend inside of a hotel. 200 dollars for a 3 day hotel booking is actually stupidly cheap lol

[tough sun]

But he said 200 dollar for a hoodie like you have luxury brand clothes

[cinder gorge]

Oh wtf

U found a place for only $200?

Dang

What hotel is it

[cinder gorge]

What about city

Btw i thought u go to the 2nd largest district in the US

And i thought u meant just to go there and come back the same day

[tough sun]

Maybe they live on a hall or something

[cinder gorge]

Who does that?

Mabey thats for other countries but here in US, we dont do that

[tough sun]

you rich ppl

[cinder gorge]

We dont do that

[olive thistle]

I took Chem my Sophomore year, but I haven’t taken AP Chem

[austere tulip]

who ever said we're rich

[ripe geyser]

We get discounts

[ripe geyser]

No I do not go to LAUSD lol

[ripe geyser]

It’s 200 dollars and you get a hoodie + a field trip

[cinder gorge]

What hotel? And how

[tough sun]

Yo said you sold a hoodie for 200 bucks for a trip or you get hoodie with a trip?.

[autumn island]

Hey rq guys

would you reccomend do ap pre calc and ap stats at the same time for junior year?

[magic orbit]

ap pre calc is a nice course to take if u want rigor

it’ll get in touch of concepts you need to do calculus

stats is basically optional

it depends on the major you want to take

[autumn island]

its bc i want to do finance in college

well specifally stem orientied finance

@magic orbit

[magic orbit]

well

sorry for late response

does finance do anything related with data?

@autumn island

if that’s a yes

then yeah take ap stats

[autumn island]

well no duhhh

[autumn island]

ur good

[autumn island]

well no, i want to take ap stats and ap pre calc both at the same time

[rancid willow]

I’m in 8th grade I’m taking Honors algebra 1 this year should I test out of geometry and go straight to algebra 2

[ripe geyser]

I sold a 200 dollar hoodie that just so happened to include a field trip

[ripe geyser]

Model UN students will get discounts during delegations. Usually about 40-60% off from personal experience

And also note we were shoving 4 people into a 2 person room lol

[autumn island]

i wouldnt really reccomend doing that, your gonna be in a class full of juniors/sophmores and its best to take your classes in order

[autumn island]

@magic orbit

[gloomy lotus]

Can you do it over the summer?

Or do you already know the basics?

Geometry is one of those subjects that pops up every now and then in topics like trig, algebra, precalc, but it's not that important.

so if you can do it quickly, id get rid of it (assuming math is not too big of an issue for you)

[rancid willow]

Math isn’t an issue for me, it’s the class I’m best at.

[gloomy lotus]

Then definitely find a way to skip geometry/take it over the summer like you said

[rancid willow]

Ok thx for your help

[wise forge]

AP Chem?

I would say anything is manageable depending on who you are and other context

its not hard to take 6 APs if you have no extracurriculars or work or volunteering

so honestly, i can't say if it will be manageable, but in my context, they would be

[obsidian geyser]

Hi! So course selection has been over for a month but my school just announced that they are removing AP CSP as a course which is one of the ones I signed up for. I'm not sure which course would be a good alternative to it now. Can someone help?
(For reference, the other courses I am planning to take next year are APUSH, PreCalc, Eng 11, Art 1, AP Bio)

[austere tulip]

Ok that's fine

both of them are considered compartively easier math aps

[austere tulip]

That's fine if you have enough geometry knowledge!!

[austere tulip]

Ok so I'd recommend AP CSA, an alternate CS course, an engineering course, PLTW, etc.

[obsidian geyser]

Would it be beneficial to take it if I am planning for a medical path or should I take another science course instead?

[austere tulip]

u can do another science course

yeah

i didn't know about u doing med

[obsidian geyser]

Ah yeah sorry I should have included that.

[austere tulip]

but yeah u should do something like chem, anatomy, etc.

[obsidian geyser]

I don't meet the prereqs for AP Chem but I think I will consider anatomy.

Thank you!

[gloomy lotus]

If you haven't taken a prior chem course, I'd recommend you do that before taking AP chem

maybe honors chem?

AP Chem really just dives into the stuff and they spend very little time refining the basics

No offense, but you sound like one of those scam bots ;-;

nvm you are a bot

[obsidian geyser]

Mhm yeah I'm in chem honors right now, but I don't meet the prerequisites for AP Chem so I couldn't take it anyway.

[cinder gorge]

Is it worth taking AP bio because I want more room in my schedule and I'm not going into anything bio related

[gloomy lotus]

Probably not then

if you're anywhere into CS or Business, there's no point

I'd argue for physics and stats, bio and chem are not needed

[cinder gorge]

Yeah see that's what I thought but I still feel like I need to take it idk why

[cinder gorge]

Wait is it easier to do bio online or physics

[severe meadow]

It depends on your learning style preference, quality & availability of online resources you receive or have, the difficulty/type of content in bio/physics that you're going to learn and how much you can cope through this online learning.

[elfin hill]

What do you guys think is the best buisness class to take as a elective

[severe meadow]

For me personally, I find Physics easier. It's just like primary school maths for me, even though sometimes word problems can be hard, but can manage and easily understand. Biology has a lot of memorization and deep reading comprehension levels to answer.

[elfin hill]

I’m taking economics next year

[severe meadow]

What are the optional electives (that are business related) at your school?

[elfin hill]

Alr here’s like a list not full but

[severe meadow]

This is good. Maybe you can also try accounting.

Okii let's see

[elfin hill]

Intro to buisness,economics,finance investing,personal finance,accounting,buisness management

I’m a freshman so

[severe meadow]

How many electives can you take? Or are you only taking one business elective?

[elfin hill]

My counselor says that personal finance and finance investing are only 2.5 credits so I take one of those half the year

[elfin hill]

1 or 2

Depends on your academic level

If your in accelerated English you get another free period

For elective

I need an alternative

Since I’m taking economics

[severe meadow]

My suggestion for you is to take accounting and economics. That's just me

[elfin hill]

Thanks

What is accounting exactly

Can you explain it more in detail

[severe meadow]

Accounting is the process of recording financial transactions pertaining to a business. Also, accounting doesn't require complex maths. You just need middle school maths apparently (according to a friend of mine whose Dad is an accountant at an ANZ bank).

[mighty mist]

Wont the field of accounting need less people, as finances become more automated?

[elfin hill]

So you would need like pre algebra

Math skills or alg 1

[severe meadow]

My knowledge in accounting or business is not solid. But I'm trying my best to help out.

[severe meadow]

Yeah. No need to do geometry or trigo I think. Just algebra, calculating interests and etc.

[mighty mist]

Got it. I was just wondering if you knew a lot about it. Kind of interested but i thought the career is not the best to go into if it faces that problem

[severe meadow]

I see. I heard that the Fintech career field is rising though now and to the future. Did you try considering that?

[elfin hill]

@severe meadow is geometry easy

[cinder gorge]

Mabey

[severe meadow]

Personally, it was easy for me, especially the basics. However, each time I get to the next geometry level, it gets a little harder. You don't need to have a mathematician mind to be good at geometry. As always, you just need consistency in practicing to solve geometry problems. I don't know your math level, but I don't think it should be hard for you. Nothing is hard for too long if you practice and ask for help to guide you. Also, if something is hard for you, practicing 2 or 3 hours per day would be enough to advance or ensure you're maintaining the lessons you've learnt at a steady pace.

[half ferry]

Yup, you’ll join them in alg 2, but check with your counselor first

[upper temple]

is ap human geography easier or harder than ap psych?

[deep pier]

So accounting doesn't really contain maths in it... But if you wanna be an accountant in the future you might wanna consider enrolling for applied maths. Also, accounting is reallyyyyy fun! Especially accounting for sole proprietorship once you know it's rules.

Also personal finance could be really good.even if you don't wanna pursue ur career in finance this class could really help you manage ur money and taxes and stuff.. also,it requires maths a lot...not sure abt the exact level of math since my school doesn't offer this subject but it's just a good elective. so I'd recommend taking personal finance. Now when to take and for how long..6 months/ a year depends on you.

Anyways, Goodluck!

[nimble shoal]

whats the other prereq?

for my school its chem and precalc

also atleast concur enroll in calc

[cinder gorge]

y do u ask questions that u know the answers to?

[wise forge]

Does anyone know what the difference is between Statistics for Behavioral Science offered by the Math department vs the Psychology Department. they both cover the same requirement so is confuse.

[cinder gorge]

mabey email the math dept

and ask them

[wise forge]

hehehe so funny thing

this college doesn't have department heads

so i can't

: )

[cinder gorge]

heh

what college is it

[wise forge]

they just got accredation

no

[cinder gorge]

ahh, mabey ask the councler then, idk

talk to them irl or something

[wise forge]

yeah

they're mean

so i wanted to avoid that

[cinder gorge]

its only for like 15min

[wise forge]

ik

and their mean if you ask one question

[cinder gorge]

lol

[wise forge]

they are not fucking helpful and idek how they have jobs

i've called them and they were a bitch, i've zoomed with them and they were a bitch, and ive emailed them

and i say them and mean multiple

they don't offer inperson yet

cus covid

[cinder gorge]

y cant u go to another college

[wise forge]

i can

its just more paper work

and this other college doesn't have emails???

[cinder gorge]

lmao

[wise forge]

the course catalog says theyre the same

idk why they have 2 different departments offering them

[pastel sail]

Will a high SAT or ACT score counter a low GPA for ivy leagues etc?

[cinder gorge]

no

[wise forge]

legit the same course lmao

[cinder gorge]

oh

mabey their the same cuz its the same class but its a pre-req for a different class

like 2 pathways for it

[deep pier]

Stats by math dept will be more focused on data and calculations and stats by psy will be used for easy presentation of data and for research and all...
That's what I think but I could be wrong.

[mighty mist]

Definitely not. There are so many candidates, very competitive, many with very high GPA and ACT. Also gpa is just very important in any college admissions

[gloomy lotus]

depends

AP bio id not recommend online at all

if its like honors bio and you're alright in science, then it's definitely possible

the thing with science is that it's not always easy to do it online

math is different, but for science theres a lot to learn

all depends on you though

[orchid wind]

Is taking honors bio worth it if u don't wanna go into a biology field but are aiming for an ivy league

[cinder gorge]

Clg list

[ripe geyser]

If the only other choice is a non-honors class then yeah.

Plus don’t most schools ask for at least 1 year of biological sciences to begin with?

[left coral]

guys

should i take ap precalc or math analysis

gonna be a sophomore next year

[orchid wind]

Yeah we are required to do one year of bio

[vital olive]

ap

grade boost

[ripe geyser]

Is this related to@the IB?

IB math AA is the only kind of math analysis I know of

If it’s IB then do math AA if and only if you’re doing the full IB

If not then do AP Precalc

[nimble shoal]

no i thought it was different for your school maybe

[ruby night]

Can I self study with online free video for AP Statistics and AP computer Science A only..... I have not taken other AP CLASSES

[magic orbit]

you technically can

but i dont recommend it

since motivation is hard to maintain

[ripe geyser]

Uh rn? It's a bit too late to self study for 2 AP classes

But if you're talking about over the course of a year, yeah it's possible but I'd suggest actually taking AP Stats somehow cause it's just a genuinely useful course to have

AP Stats and AP Lang are arguably the only useful courses offered by the College Board

[cinder gorge]

Y ap stats

[cinder gorge]

Cuz it is

[ripe geyser]

Knowing how to read and understand statistics in a way that makes sense and knowing how to divulge whether or not a statistic is truthful isn't just a useful skill for college, it's a useful skill for life

[tough sun]

8 hrs teaching in gov school enough for ecs?.

[magic orbit]

ap stats is actually very important for most majors

[ripe geyser]

Do as many as you can

[magic orbit]

especially stem majors

[ripe geyser]

Not most, it's important for pretty much all majors

I really cannot think of a single major where stats isn't useful in, even the humanities like theatre, English, or art all benefit heavily from a strong stats understanding

[cinder gorge]

Stats more useful then ap calc ab?

[magic orbit]

fair

[magic orbit]

yes

tbh

[ripe geyser]

Yeye

[cinder gorge]

Y

[ripe geyser]

But you should always take AB or BC first

[magic orbit]

ap stats is data analysis

[ripe geyser]

Calculus is highly specific and isn't used in real life very often

[magic orbit]

and analyzing data is important

[ripe geyser]

At least not nearly as often as seeing a data set or seeing a graph

[cinder gorge]

But wont u have to do calc in college

[ripe geyser]

❌

[magic orbit]

ap calc ab is for the college credit

usually taken by high schoolers for college credit

[ripe geyser]

most colleges have you ending your math at college algebra for gened

Most colleges will have you end your math GenEd in Stats and College Algebra

Granted in your case Borger taking calc BC would be the best bet

@cinder gorge if possible, take calc BC and then Stats

[cinder gorge]

I don’t

I can’t

[ripe geyser]

How come?

[cinder gorge]

Im in regular math rn and i need to do math 3 next yr and then precalc summer and calc ap senior yr

Theres no precalc honors available during the summer

Which is the pre req for calc ab

[ripe geyser]

Can you not DE in precalc over the summer?

That should count as a precalc honors course

[cinder gorge]

I dont think it’s available but ill check

It should work tho cuz i have a backup college lol

[wise forge]

my school tells kids precalc is at the comm college over the summer, but that it won’t count as a prerequisite for any math class 💀

so theoretically if you take honors math 2, and then precalc, you are required to take a math class on campus and it can’t be calc bc you have to take honors math 3 for that lmao

[somber onyx]

Wait really

[ruby night]

Next year..... I am india my school offers nothing....... Except IGCSE

[mighty mist]

Thats fine. Primarily in the US is where all of the AP classes are

[pale narwhal]

Hi, I'm in the UK, and my school makes it optional to comply with the Ebacc subject specifications. Should I choose subjects that comply w the ebacc or choose the subjects i enjoy?

[elfin hill]

Thanks

I don’t wanna take personal finance

Tho

[deep pier]

Yeah that's fine.. you can always watch yt videos on that to be aware..

[deep pier]

[elfin hill]

Are u in 12th grade?

[deep pier]

Yeah

Y

[elfin hill]

Do you remember if u did good on state testing

Like freshman year or sophmore year

[deep pier]

Umm I'm not from us so I don't have any idea what ure saying..

[elfin hill]

Alr nvm then

[tough sun]

Elaborate

[cinder gorge]

It doenst matter

State testing only helps determine ur placement in college for its courses

[mighty mist]

Mainly to see how each school/state does and make modifications to the education system. I dont think it helps determines college placement at all

[cinder gorge]

Well thats what i heard

[mighty mist]

There are different tests in college used for placements, like ALEKS

[cinder gorge]

Idk

We use CAASPP

[pale narwhal]

if anybody can help pls

[mighty mist]

Maybe CA system is different

[cinder gorge]

Both

[pale narwhal]

Oh :/ the thing is that I have to choose a language for the ebacc and I find languages in school harder than the subject I want to do and enjoy

[ripe geyser]

If you have to pick between one or the other always pick the classes that’ll fulfil whatever requirements you need, even if it is EBACC

[pale narwhal]

Ohk then, so I'll choose subjects that comply with ebacc ig

It's not compulsory I'm just asking which is better, to do the ebacc subjects or any subject I prefer

But ig I'll do the ebacc ones theb

Then

[elfin hill]

Not really

[elfin hill]

Yea he right same for like district

[mighty mist]

ok. it does nothing for that here

[austere tulip]

It might be like a dual subject area class

so like it counts for both math and psychology

[austere tulip]

Ap precalc should be easier and allow for credit

[austere tulip]

Well yeah

But like do you neeed to dive that deeply into stats?

Cuz I think the stats we learn in middle school is enough

[unreal prairie]

is Biomedical enginnering a major which can gurrantee a job after undergrd?

[austere tulip]

idk if anything guarantees a jb

job

but like going to college and doing well gives u high chances of being in a job

[unreal prairie]

I need to get a job really bad

cause my family has only 1 source of income

thats from my dad

[mighty mist]

i think experience and doing well in college would help. its very competitive, as so many people have the same degree, though not all have the same experience

[mighty mist]

Also doing interships are good too. Not a guarantee but increases the chance

[cinder gorge]

Then get 1

I have 2 jobs

If i have 2 then u can prob find 1

[unreal prairie]

hmmm Im 17 rn

will start college in august

[cinder gorge]

Great, im 16

[unreal prairie]
