Maybe not as bad as US, but italy i believe also has a problem with that

tough sun
#

But I can't change my plan to studying abroad for just one. Reason. I will ignore this. I will try to have housing outside of the university

i’ve already done my fine arts requirement and i’m going to be doing my wellness requirement over the summer (we have to take phys ed 1 & 2 and also health 1 & 2) and i’m currently taking algebra 2 and geometry at the same time so i got the required algebra 2 done

the program im in requires me to take ap euro sophomore year and apush and ap english junior year so that why i’m not taking apush or ap eng yet

princeton is my absolute reach school like i would die to go there
but other colleges i’m thinking of applying to are Boston Uni(i live in massachusetts), Brown, CalTech, Northeastern, Berkeley, Syracuse, John Hopkins, NYU, Vanderbilt and Tufts

they’re in no specific order btw

i also do CTE, I do programming and web development

i’ve realized that APES is also a junior senior only course which is weird bc my guidance counselor said i could do it sophomore year so i might try to ask for ap stats instead

i’ve also never taken any ap or ib classes in my life (i don’t think my school offers IB)

are these classes decent or are there any classes is specific i should absolutely take

#

THIS TOOK SO LONG FOR NO REASON

@lunar ridge bro we aware form this

#

they have enough trust in me that this won’t be a problem my parents are extremely oblivious

#

i do!

mighty mist
#

Wont they just look them up/talk to other people and realize

#

Well yeah it depends. Mine knows like all of them and is really into that stuff. But a college graduate so makes sense

magic tulip
#

anyways should i try to switch from apes to ap stats?

#

isn’t AP lit extremely hard

#

or is that ap lang

#

i’m bad at writing

#

😞

# tough sun You demotivated me

don’t stop thinking abt US colleges, they’re just trying to like scare u with the drugs and stuff you won’t be doing anything you don’t want to

the only thing u should really worry abt is money as it is very expensive depending on where you live

tough sun
#

@mighty mist are u typing?.

# tough sun You demotivated me

You shouldn't let that discourage you. College isn't one big party as usually depicted in movies.

Universities have policies on alcohol and drug use on campus and regulate events held by registered student organizations.

But you take half hour to type this message

# tough sun But you take half hour to type this message

I think they just may have meant that if that isn’t the environment you’re looking for, you may want to go to different schools - however it shouldn’t discourage you, just be conscious of the situations you are in/ people you interact with and you will be alright

#

Sorry if this is unhelpful 💀

this isnt exactly related to course selection, but how are AP classes weighted? ive heard that a B in an ap is weighted as the same as an A (for your GPA), but there might be more to the picture

My school doesn’t offer half the AP’s

wet rune
#

like its basically writing a grad paper in hs with your own method and stuff like that for research, my dad is the teacher at my school so i know what he has to say about it

pseudo barn
#

My school is rich but can’t get good teachers

wet rune
#

ugh thats not fun

cinder gorge
wet rune
#

My school has art history but I don’t like art or history

#

I mean I’m good at history

pseudo barn
#

But I enjoy Physics and Math more

pseudo barn
#

History and English jist seem useless

#

The AP Physics C teacher got fired in my school

#

So the whole course is gone

wet rune
# cinder gorge 1. Its free 2. Just make time

ok we get that you have a much higher availability of education and wealth at your hands, but a lot of people dont have that option, because of transport issues and a lot of times it isnt free, your experiences arent applicable for everyone. Time is a big thing to give up, i want to be able to do fun things while im in school as well as do well. I want to have time to have friends, also just chill out sometimes. I like being just ok at some things and being better at some things. You cant just tell people two options, and ways to do a thing that might work for you but are not possible for others

pseudo barn
#

You wrote a whole essay

wet rune
#

i did

#

because its not fair that people like that can just say those types of things without realizing what other people are going through

cinder gorge
#

And 3. Im just saying what options r available, i aint forcing u

#

And if u think my family is rich, try paying for multiple of my surgeries that costed over $100k for each

#

(I had like 4 btw)

wet rune
# cinder gorge 1. Its the same education, i go to a public school 2. My family isnt rich like h...

trust me schools in a lot of other states like my own are not nearly as privileged or well funded as yours. a lot of people make a lot less money than that, especially people in the south or lower income areas, california is not a good baseline. some people simply dont have all of the options that you do, like im incredibly lucky to be in a community with two colleges, and really good highschools. Many high schools are not nearly as equipped with resources like californian schools

pseudo barn
#

Which state do you live in

wet rune
#

iowa

pseudo barn
#

Oh

cinder gorge
mighty mist
pseudo barn
#

Yeah

#

Idk if ur tryna say ur rich or if ur broke

cinder gorge

No, its for schools that r in a not so wealthy neighborhood so that the district gives them more $$ to help compensate

wet rune
cinder gorge

Then y r we broke and arnt under title 1

mighty mist
cinder gorge

Oh rlly? Cuz last time i talked to my principal thats what she said

wet rune
#

like im really lucky to have a nice school with a lot of facilities
we have lots of atheletic, musical, and art resources but still ive been to some crazy nice high schools

#

ive also been to a lot of really low income ones

cinder gorge
#

Hell no

#

Nah

wet rune
#

i went to this school for a debate tourney once and i thought it was crazy nice

#

the inside was crazy

mighty mist
cinder gorge
#

Thats the bare minimum

wet rune
#

and like i know im above average because im taking 3 honors this year and 1 AP as a freshman, im involved in band and like 4 ecs (2 high commitment 2 low commitment) and then one outside sport because they dont offer it at my school and then an in school tutoring program

#

like i know multiple kids at my school who have this, quite a few

cinder gorge

Hey, I was wondering if someone knowledgeable on the situation could help me here. I'm planning on applying to MIT next year, and I was wondering if my course load for next year could help my chances. Next year, I'm taking ap chem, ap french, concurrent enrollment english, dual enrollment calc 3 and diff. equations, and concurrent physics 2 electricity and magnetism (calc based)

#

I'm also taking ap calc bc and ap physics c mech this year

worthy flare
#

@ocean horizon Generally speaking, yes that is a good course load. Specifically speaking, depends. Do you have a planned major? If so, try to take classes that relate as best as possible to that major. Also take in other factors for a school like MIT. Such as community service, clubs, gpa, class rank, talents, part time work, internships, ect. They’re will be many students like you taking almost the same classes so if you don’t stand out, you will get rejected.

#

I know I’m only a freshmen however, I have just amount of college interest just like you. Look into these links, they might help you further:

I am getting a job over the summer, I do piano competitively, 14 hours weekly and 16 hours on competition months. And to the other guy accusing me of avoiding all research, I have looked at the common data set and ap transfer stuff and whatnot. I just wanted another opinion

Keep doing the stuff

And have a job

Ngl tho, comp months is like always for me lol

cinder gorge
#

U can practice however u want but how much of it is effective

ocean horizon
cinder gorge
#

No

#

I dont find practicing based on time to be effective

#

I like to go on progress, how much progress did i make per session and i work keep practicing until i get that goal

#

Or i just practice however i feel like

#

Sometimes its 3 hrs or 4 hrs per day, it just depends

#

yes

somber onyx
#

Does that apply with AP English Lang that an honors course would prepare me and is it difficult

I'm going to high school next year. What courses should I pick since I'm going for programming job?

summer kernel
#

AP cs if available

#

Maybe animation

#

Web design

#

Intro to Java or intro to python

#

These courses are available at my school

#

But I also come from a very academically loaded hs

#

We have a lot od extra courses your hs might not have (like ceramics, yoga, etc 💀)

neat shadow
#

Well there is no animation available at the high school I'm going to.

summer kernel
neat shadow
#

It isn't even a sport.

summer kernel
#

Oh yeah, my school is weird, we also have sociology, “leisure games”, relaxation for the good life, American studies, understanding race, and genocide conflict resolution

#

American studies is like an English history combo

#

Worth the credits for each

#

I should probably mention it’s a feeder school

neat shadow
#

American studies isn't weird. Understanding race is kind of weird. And well genocide conflict resolution is probably for people who want to become lawyers.

#

What is a feeder school?

summer kernel
#

Or at least get into those unis

summer kernel
neat shadow
#

Does it really matter what university you pick?

summer kernel
#

And it is one of the few honors level electives

summer kernel

But some people like going to certain unis

I mean besides if you want to go for a specific job.

summer kernel
#

otherwise, you can still apply but make sure to explain your low grades (ex: death in family, illness) and have STACKED extracurriculars

#

moreover, it depends on what you consider to be a nice university

#

as well as where you are from

No particular reason

It's actually really easy so

austere tulip
#

Usually students have to take one year of bio and one year of Chem

#

And especially in astrophysics

vital olive
#

bio is a req for us but chem isnt

austere tulip
#

A stem major

#

You will take bio and chem and physics in college

cinder matrix
#

AP bio or honors chem freshman year?

vital olive
cinder matrix
#

yeah

austere tulip
#

That will be helpful in some of the chemistry parts of bio and it isn’t ap so you won’t be dying your freshman year

cinder matrix
#

ok

#

thanks

vital olive

and handle it

#

it's useufl

#

bc GPA boost and all that

cinder matrix

ok

interesting

i dont think ap bio would be to hard cuz 8th grade we doing honors bio

is taking apush going to rly help me in any way? i want to major in stem so idk if i should take it for the gpa boost or not

Hi

#

Are these good classes to take next year for Senior year of high school

austere tulip
#

First of all

#

We don’t have any context on you

#

And then we also don’t know what those courses are

#

Like what’s CSUexptsyredgwtg

#

Next year, I am planning on taking:
AP Calculus BC
AP Biology
AP CSP

I was wondering if I should add AP Psychology or switch AP Biology for AP Physics C (currently take APP1). The reason why I don't want to take AP Physics C is because I took AP Calc AB online, do I don't feel too confident in my abilities. I also don't want to overwhelm myself with AP Psychology as there is a lot of notes from what I heard. Thank you so much!

opal dew
#

oh ok

that doesn't sound bad

i think i know the basics for those

1st sem bc is like ab review

opal dew
#

ill also talk with the teacher for ap phsyics c

wanton talon
#

Only some differential equations but they are very simple

opal dew
#

if its really only that

wanton talon
#

It’s hard tho I have a C rn 😂

opal dew
#

then that should be doable

opal dew
#

did you take 1 before it?

wanton talon
#

Yeah

#

I just don’t study if I did I would have an A

#

I’m lazy af

#

U going to be a senior?

opal dew
#

junior

wanton talon
#

Nice, if you want to take physics c go for it

#

If you did well in physics 1 you’ll be fine

cloud tusk
#

it's pretty memorization heavy

#

but it's one of the less overwhelming APs

opal dew
#

ok

#

with the notes and all

#

how is the hw?

#

liek the length

cloud tusk
#

we basically just read pages of the textbook each night

#

maybe 10 pgs?

#

if you don't like reading tho prob don't take it

#

the teacher wants you to be romantically involved w the book

opal dew
#

Oh

#

lol

#

Then maybe

#

Not

Come to the question

molten orchid
#

for next year nad I am doing course selection

#

I'm currently choosing between business, drafting(3d design), and electronics and I dont know which one to choose. I was planning to choose business as it is one of my passions but apparently most of the teachers mark quite hard and I dont want to drop my GPA

cinder gorge
#

Just do all 3

molten orchid
#

lol

cinder gorge
#

Im not kidding

#

If u cant decide, do all 3

molten orchid
#

Theres only two options and I have already committed to programming as my other option so its my only choice

#

Its electives

ionic ginkgo
#

my school offers an option to get credit for foreign language if you are fluent in an other language they don't offer at school, are colleges good with this?

@molten orchid what's your major

@molten orchid where you want to study

Which country

# tough sun Elaborate

My school lets us get credit for foreign language if you are fluent in a language not offered at school and pass a test in it. most colleges require foreign language so if I do this program will that count

tough sun
#

@molten orchid stuck with buisness because electronics is hard and 3d design depends upon you if you have interest then you can handle 3d design

So idk about it
