#course-selection
1 messages · Page 46 of 1
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
Definitely someone to think about though and could be a dealbreaker. When your there might really hate that culture. Its everywhere here
@lunar ridge bro we aware form this
I will ignore
If you come here your understand what i mean. Rn you dont really
they have enough trust in me that this won’t be a problem my parents are extremely oblivious
i do!
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
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
😞
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
im not
But I see u typing
again i was not
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
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 💀
If you're wanting to avoid this, on campus housing might be a better option. The majority of students are under the drinking age, and universities will have policies against possession or use in on campus housing. Of course, some people will anyway, but there's usually CA/RAs to assist.
I type when I can. Sometimes I get interrupted.
Tysm bro you cure my depression
Thanks too
You could also apply to a dry campus/town ig. Though if its some place like ASU, big party school
Was it half an hour? Or was it half a minute? Or maybe it was even half a second...Never forget, time is relative...
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
Depends on the school but usually +1. So an A is 5, B is 4. But your unweighted still goes down. A is 4, B is 3
I exticed for my senior year of high school cause I taking Emergency medical response and i going to be doing Emergency medical tech after I going to talk to my teacher about it next year
Hey has anyone taken AP research and AP seminar
also is this course selection for college
or course selection for highschool
Yes I have.
In fact, it is quite sublime and teaches the finest material if I would say so.
Apologies for not introducing myself, but I am Anderson Cooper. A wise man from Harvard who graduated in 1607.
both
Opinions of AP Music Theory?
If you play the piano, can read music well, and know basic theory like whole step half step you’ll be fine
Its deceptively hard though
Yeah
I'm a band kid and I play piano
That's wut I thought
Taking it as maybe an AP Elective
piano 🥰
😍😍
im playing totoro for my recital and i think im going to actually practice lmaoo
What instrument
???
no these are my private lessons lol, im just in a small city in the states
So ur recital is a lesson?
So whats the recital
my teacher has a bunch of other students around town and we all perform 2 pieces for each other and our parents
I c
Whats the other piece on the program?
im playing some jazz song called aboard the delta queen
I never heard of it
My recital is a lil formal
I have a few actually
One for a comp, one at the Walt disney concert hall in LA, and an international comp on october
only a lil formal?
do you go to a private school?
???
Hs, 2 cc , CSULB
Aren’t those AP’s useless
I got I invited to play with cal state Long Beach uni orchestra
no they arent but theyre useful for writing skills and then research skills
For some people it is
My school doesn’t offer half the AP’s
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
My school is rich but can’t get good teachers
ugh thats not fun
Then go to another school
there are like 3 that i want to take but i cant because of the teachers
What’s wrong with them
a lot of people dont have that option bro
Are the strict or just bad teachers
they just dont want to teach them lol
Y not, u can double enroll like how im doing at cc
I wanted to do AP European History
dude a lot of people arent as privleged as you and they dont have the same opportunites, I personally dont have time or money to enroll at three other schools
But my school doesn’t have it
ME TOO!! AND AP ART HIST
Mabey cuz people arnt looking in the right places
My school has art history but I don’t like art or history
I mean I’m good at history
But I enjoy Physics and Math more
- Its free
- Just make time
History and English jist seem useless
The AP Physics C teacher got fired in my school
So the whole course is gone
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
You wrote a whole essay
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
- Its the same education, i go to a public school
- My family isnt rich like how u think they make less then $80k in California i think
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)
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
Which state do you live in
iowa
Oh
- U think my school is rich? Its not even on TITLE ONE program
- Try living in California to see how expensive it is, a 3 bed 2 bath house costs over $800k
You should check but might have the DE program in your district
No, its for schools that r in a not so wealthy neighborhood so that the district gives them more $$ to help compensate
i wouldnt be surprised lol, but im mostly just trying to say that a lot of schools arent like where borger goes
Then y r we broke and arnt under title 1
Thats not how it works. Low income area dont get funding because people dont care about those areas
Oh rlly? Cuz last time i talked to my principal thats what she said
trust me if you came to my school you would turn up your nose at it
Just take advantage of every opportunity
Then do sa
its not possible for a lot of people
a lot of students do have to
Sa + de is free as long as ur under the 11.5 units per semester
ITS DIFFERENT EVERYWHERE
For us it is
iver never seen anything like that in iowa bro
Thats true. CA is its only place with its rules and schools. Some areas way more opportunities then even where I live
nope
For me it is
at my school the majoraty of kids are getting Cs in regular classes
No lol. So many people dont even go to college so dont care about their grades
Well thats them
Pretty typical even Ds. Passing is passing
We dont either
exactly
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
i went to this school for a debate tourney once and i thought it was crazy nice
the inside was crazy
The newer built ones are really nice. They are tearing down all of the old hs here and building new ones which is bad for the students but good for the future ones
Thats the bare minimum
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
💀
its good to network
yeah, i have network with prof at different uni and college + hs admins and people who go to places like upenn, prinston, havard, etc
with people your own age
uhh... im not intrested
hence, people at upenn, prinston, havard, etc
people in high school!
yes there is the occasional 16 year old prodigy
yeah, ik someone who got accepted at stanford like a bit ago
@ripe geyser .........
ur saying the people ik is not normal???
whats wrong with having connections with people who has a phd
meaning?
Its the internet probably trolling a bit
My course request is weird
its not socially helathy for someone your age. you need people you can be dumb with lol
whats up
i have a lot of friends and im still one of the top students in my grade, if we had honor roll (like an actual one) then i would be on it every trimester
and thats me for my friend group
i mean most of my friends do have about a 4
in my friend group not in the whole school
thats the difference
Here the classes I pick for senior year of high school next year
right
ooh looks like fun
i mean im generally not likable becuase im like the annoying white kid who is thought of as the teachers pet, but i get along with most people
valid.
y?
i also got a lot of my school habits and my self inflicted grade pressure from my friends from last year
i think you can win, you seem cool!
yeah, theres commonness b/t me and prof
i get used for my work lol
nah
I want tougher classes so my counselor told me to take CSU expository my senior year
CSU expository?
nice, im glad youre challenging yourself, thats really good
CSU expository is a English class offer at my high school
exotica typing a whole paragraph
well if i want a gpa higher, i have to just make things work
(im just happy that you also use the word dope like that)
yeah, i like my normal
I just need my English 4 credit and my gov and Econ credit then I just taking electives then I go home after 5 period next year
but its going to be hard when you move into the real world and you have to interact with dumb people
real world? i alr do, i have 2 jobs n vounteer n whatever
where do you volunteer and where do you work?
I’m kinda of bored
i vounteer at 2 places and work at 2 places
......
vounteer
- hospital
- tutoring, free
Job
- school, cashier and food prep
- tutor, paid
i do meet new people, i meet the staff and teachers
and like i tutor people at my school during school and its not that hard, i still meet people and have a good time with them
like 2 teachers is my friends
staff and teachers dont count bro
00000
y not? their humans
theres one teacher who i would have ever considered my friend, and its more of like a mentorship, but i love her so much
*theyre
im surprised you dont care as much about grammar
i still make my sentences at least comprehensible
y would i do that
seems kinda useless ngl
like my friends that got accepted to places like upenn n whatever is fine to me
nah
he goes to another school cuz he got full ride
peasant problems???
alright well borg, have a fun time being really high up in the clouds of privilge and social recluse, im going to bed, exotica, goodnight
i didnt gain my privileges for nothing
i worked my way up
what do your parents do?
ok valid
ok valid, valid
oh and my music stuff
Especially my like $5k flute
more like $2k cuz i paid $3k upfront
i only have like $200-$400 left
of debt
ok understandable lol, some people say they worked their way up and their parents are like neurosurgeon and anestesiologist
Curious the fuck I walked into but also don't really want to ask
good idea
nah, my parents arnt that devoted
i am, cc, csulb, etc
rop
ehh
ivy leagues:
my advertisement strat for my club worked (29 responses in 1 wk)

ill just sugar coat everyhhing
umm like clubs to join? And universities to apply for?
apply to ''go google and do ur research" university
i have but that just made me more confused
then learn
yeah but ppl are so competitive
good, then u be more compeittive
which is exactly why i am trying to talk to yall
do whatever is necessary
then whats ur question
to gain knowledge and advice
when i say "whatever" i mean whatever
what do you recommend
BE SPECIFIC
k
u see what i mean by "people arnt asking the right questions"?
all im gonna say is if u want to get into t20, do whatever is necessary to beat the compeitition, hs is basically a rat race for me
yeah obvs

bro theyre in ohio or alabama
if u understand then get off discord and start working
huh, isnt ucla in the gehetto area?
okay then ig its princeton for me
HAHAHAHAHHA

then what other options do i have?
Part time jobs / education loan

ucla aint bad tho
santa teresa is dangerous?

yale's price
i got the grades for big ass scholarships tho so i’m not worried
but did u get it?
just cuz u have the grades doesnt mean ur gonna get it
i got two years till i actually apply
better start now, i got my 1st scholership last yr
i’m v involved with my school and community which high point prides itself on
so does everyone else
i just started applying to scholarships
fair enough
what makes u unique?
high point is a small school
y should they accept u?
Forgot Stanford their is no guarantee that you will get in as an international student
i got a sob story but i don’t wanna use that it’s kinda cliche
i feel like that’s what everyone does and you gotta make a good ass essay to make it sound like right ig?? idk how to word it
it’s 2 late for this
nothing in life is a guarantee
i just came here to ask what are good summer programs to apply 2 over the summer LMAO
go research it
ik that standofrd has a program for rich people
start saving
not poor but not rich
im poor too
i’ve been saving my entire life
good
Life is hard
i have 4 siblings tho
ok?
it made it harder for my parents to evenly set the money because i have 2 other siblings in the same grade so that kinda sucks but
im pretty sure everyone figured that out a long time ago
then get a job
it made it more motivation to save money and get my own things
if u want $$, then get a job
i should be able ti afford for most of my college by myself
i’ve been working for like 3 years now lol
i got a stable job
what postition
i’m gonna have to get another job over the summer tho bc they don’t give as many hours as i’d like
prob gonna lifeguard
i get $12 free food every shift
it’s so nice
i spend exactly $11.55 everytime (unless i’m buying siblings sometbing bc i’ve eaten sm of it in the past year)

and u dont "need" it
K
2 what
Ok
one hand i want a senior year but the other hand i could leave early
i can graduate next year
y would u do that
i have enough credits
thats it?
so any class i’d take would just be extra classes my senior year

i will
i think i’ll probably stay though because senior year activities are so fun
u missed the "imo" part

Is honors living earth worth it as a freshman?
sure
What should I major in
what do you like to do
honors classes in your freshman year is good prep for AP classes and other hard classes
That is up to you. You know better than anyone what you are passionate about and what drives you to go above and beyond.
Majors might seem really important now but you will probably change yours alot and discover what you like to do
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
@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:
https://ir.mit.edu/cds-2022 for here, go to section c7. You will see what MIT expects/wants
some people dont even do basic googling before asking questions lol
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
Great
Keep doing the stuff
I too play an instrument too
And have a job
Ngl tho, comp months is like always for me lol
Hrs of practice doesnt mean better,
U can practice however u want but how much of it is effective
It's more of how much my teacher wants me to do. He prefers if I get at least 2 hours a day, but I'd like to have a life outside of piano too
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
Well, I don't go strictly to that time, I have a minimum, although I go over it often. Just curious, what instrument do you play?
Hi
Howdy
hi! im a freshman in hs wondering what courses to take next year to challenge myself and better my chances in getting into university! this year i took all honors, including accelerated math 2 (:
then take
they next level?
now youoll take accelerated math 3 or smth
same plan but the succeeding course to your freshman year
no way math 2 just dropped
Idk what math 2 is and I am in 9th grade
I just take 1 honors class every year
I ain’t tryna do all that extra stuff 😭
Calm down buddy. It's not that big of an issue.
I understand it's frustrating, but like don't you feel like you're overreacting?
Well in that case, carry on
i need help
i have to select my cources for GSCE
i wanna be a game dev what should i chosse
Has anyone took DTCC Bio if so how is it?
where
At my school there are two classes you can choose from to qualify for an engineering capstone program
They are Aerospace Engineering
And Civil Engineering and Architecture
I’m more interested in mechanical engineering so should I take the Aerospace course over civil?
At the 6th forms I’ve applied to I have the options to do Law Psychology and English literature/history
I’m not sure on what to pick from between English lit and history
Yes, I think that's a good choice.
In either case, I'd suggest reading the course descriptions and picking the one you find more interesting.
How do you manage honors courses and extracurriculars and clubs at the same time? As in does anyone know a good routine that works for them?
Sry wrong channel
alright sorry i asked
Anybody here knows if AP English Lang is challenging and if it's useful
Is it normal to be required to take smth like honors bio before Ap bio
yes
Does that apply with AP English Lang that an honors course would prepare me and is it difficult
I’m in the first class at my school to not have to do that (I’ll take ap bio sophomore year while takin enviro this year), but they took away the option for honors all together. It just depends on the school
I'm going to high school next year. What courses should I pick since I'm going for programming job?
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 💀)
Well there is no animation available at the high school I'm going to.
Just focus on stem then
Yoga? See that for the first time.
It isn't even a sport.
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
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?
Many students go to specific universities
Or at least get into those unis
I live in New England haha, it’s to be expected! I’m taking understanding race just for fun bc I like the teacher : )
Does it really matter what university you pick?
And it is one of the few honors level electives
Not really
But some people like going to certain unis
I mean besides if you want to go for a specific job.
Nah, ppl get the same job anyways
Yeahhhh.
I’m also a New England Feeder School 🙂 We have similar classes
My 8th grade language arts teacher is the best.
Same ✌🏼
Haha. Just a couple over
Same : )
Did you see that one stat ab a huge percentage of Harvard admits coming from ||||?
Insane
Yes. LX is crazy with the amount of kids they send to ivy’s. I have a couple friends who go there and it’s even more competitive then my school 😭
Sorry for dipping lol
Yeah, the curriculum is crazy
It’s like a grade ahead automatically
I would feel so stupid if I went there 💀
Same tho…
Yk what’s crazy
What grade are u?
Me doing better in apes than geometry
9th : )
Geometry is EVIL!
SERIOUSLY
ew geo
i hate geo so much
Very similar for me
girl has all A+s no way
….except English
I think I have an A- in English
Mostly bc my teacher is very strict
Ur allowed to take AP’s freshman year ?
Im in the first class allowed to do so
Our school just changed policies
Im taking ap bio next year too
Is ap bio ur only ap for sophomore year ?
Yup
We are very limited in those terms
Yeah
Honestly I would prefer human geo bc I want to do humanities
I heard it’s really hard 😭
It is, but History and English are my strong suits
Same tho, my school has very limited humanities aps (euro, apush, psych, and lang I think)
I love history and humanities but I struggle with writing
The social sciences are the best!!!
Although I have been told the teachers at my school are unusually strict
Feeder pbs 😔
Avoid APUSH if ur average at writing. It’s more writing then history
Noooo 😭
Why must my one interest forsake me??
Your skills will prob grow as a sophomore tho
Im def not the worst at writing but for context I got a 91 on my last history essay 🫡
What other classes are u taking next year
Understanding race honors (like I said, limited humanities), us history honors, algebra II honors, English II honors, Spanish III honors, ceramics II
I think that’s all
And Ap bio
What science class did u take this year
I’m taking that next year. Only taking it cuz I suck at science and it’s a gpa boost 💀
I had consistent As in the class
Trust me, it’s very easy
I’m taking Chem this year and it is awful
Ouch
It’s majority math, and I can’t comprehend anything
I’ll be taking chem junior year
Im on the AP track or smth so it’s ap science all years
I’ll prob end Chem with a B… but u can’t be perfect at everything I guess
Oh wow
True (doesn’t matter anyway if you want to do humanities lmao)
I think I’ll take honors physics tho lol
Don’t hate myself that much
AP Physics is crazy. Only 5 kids in my school take it
The pb is that a lot of kids at my school will be taking 5 APs senior year
But like…. I don’t want to kill myself 😭
CHEMMM chem is so fun
I disagree
😒
I did YBTC
senior year doesn’t even matter that much
Never never again
junior year matters
True
I’m doing 4 near year as a Junior
I’ll be taking 3 I think
i’m taking like 2 aps next year and then 5 junior
Right
I think I’ll be doing APUSH, AP stats, and one other I can’t remember
Chemistry is evil
Bc junior year? Damn
Junior year I’m doing AP Lang, AP World, AP Envi Sci, and AP Gov
ap phys c
Oop
Im genuinely so mad my school doesn’t offer gov
(both in the year, one for each semester)
God damn
I’m doing it online
Gl to you brother
You can do that?? 👀
and ap stats
Yea, it’s new at my school
oh and ap csa
Ap stats for the win
Darn
ap stats is fun
physics is also fun
By the end of high school I’ll prob have done 8-9 AP’s
People at my school like stars bc the teacher is nice
I think I’ll have 10 if I counted right
Bc of my freshman year one
Yea that sounds about right
top secret project 🤭
My gpa atm (as a freshman)
Failed what
Mine was the exact same loll
yeah LOL i have lower than that
Im not too sure
This gives me confidence
….buddy are you gonna be okay taking physics c and calc bc? 💀
I mean, all the power to you
i mean yes lol it’s just that i was sick for the only test (chem) of the first quarter and failed
SEE Chem is evil
Period
my full year cumulative will be like a 3.84 or somehting UW
it’s whatever tho

holy
no need to over exaggerate
Is indeed effective in helping to find a part time job or is everything just BS? I'm thinking about just biking around high density areas of stores and restaurants to ask directly in person
I saw in server suggestions jobs can be referred here
its fine
it is quite the list. Mind if I pull a couple for inspiration?
like?
mainly ECs bc the list of available ones is so long. it is ofc catered to interests and skill level but i judt want to dive into smth
uh huh
well if u consider diving into something then go right ahead
just note that ive been playing my instrument for 7yrs and thats how i got accepted to play with the LA philihomic orchestra n other stuff
cool. I just have one question for you: how did you start doing paid tutoring? I've been thinking about trying to do paid tutoring for school subjects and coaching for chess and maybe wrestling but I dont know where to start
mhm
u just ask
not that hard
its just annoying
alr ty 👍
do u see any improvements that can be made?
the list looks great!
well how do i make it better
I'm more of sports focused than EC focused so I don't have a lot to say about the list
so no input?
nope sorry
See if there is a tutoring program at school, ask math teachers, get reference from math teachers, theres a few private tutoring companies, start your own
I did tutoring both for CC and for my hs
well the problem with my high school tutor program is that people tutor for free or for graduation credits
I'll try to get references and look for companies tho thanks
if that doesnt work out I could always search for individual work
Yeah mine was like that too just for the algebras and geometry. Not for advanced classes though
Individual work can be tricky. There are many companies that are available
Hey, I'm new here.
I'm in 12th, and am thinking about applying for the prefectorial body this year(deadline is 26th april)
I need help filling out my form
Who do I ask?
Thanks!
hey , i really do suck at studing and just fininshed high school , is it possible for me to get into a nice university?
if failed my high schools
it'll definitely be difficult - consider taking a gap year where you do something really cool related to your intended major (ex: film project, internship with a big company) + applying for job experience
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
gl!
what courses shall I take next year as a sophomore
everything
Considering we don’t go to your school and don’t know where you live, we can’t help you
what
look at your graduation requirement, make sure u take those core courses before anything else
because we dont know your freshmen courses and what courses are offered, we really cant help u decide
unless you provide us those information
Make sure you put emphasis on the classes that you are going to have to build on your junior and senior year as well as classes that are focused on your intended major in the future
ong pecan hi
Hiiii
Pecan hru
I’m doing fine
how’s life
What classes r u taking?
honestly it’s going well
i got through to fbla nationals as a freshman
i have a lot of ec work to do
other than that math test on monday (easy but i need a 100 or my parents will kill me) and something else i’m forgetting
My school is weird so my classes aren’t gonna line up with normal classes but accel trig, Latin 1, modern Spain, early European revolutions, chem and a textile art class
I c
oooo have fun with that
Ecs are sometimes a pain
I have a regatta next weekend ;-;
Yeah it’s a very much “what if we used college elective courses for high schoolers”
But hey it works out
that seems nice
I just wanna get my igetc and my hs done and go to a college i wanna go to
Fr
Anyone know a good AP to replace AP chem?
AP Bio, AP Physics, and if you want one that is easier than both of those take AP Enviornmental Science
Im taking bio rn and im taking both the others u suggested next yr
@cinder gorge what's your major
Physics (Astrophyics)
What about AP Physics C Mechanics or AP Physics C Electricity and Magnetism
I cant take physics C without physics 1
Im taking mechanics and E&M senior year
Dang, maybe just take an AP Class that isn't science related
I want to lmao
im taking Calc, Physics, APUSH, Stats, Lang, APES, Chem(need to replace)
Why do you need to replace Chem?
Its equivalent to taking 3 AP classes
Then why you taking bio
That's crazy, it is only one at my school
No clue
I meant the workload
and the difficulty
Oh yeah, that seems accurate. Everyone I know that has taken AP Chem has said that is was super difficult
Yeah, thats why I wanna drop
You could just fill the spot with a non-AP Class that is centered more on what you are passionate about
Or i could take a easy class for fun
and use it as a hw period
Yeah, it's always nice to have a class that you can use to catch up on work for your difficult classes
?
In American high schools bio is usually one of the things you have to take
Usually students have to take one year of bio and one year of Chem
And especially in astrophysics
bio is a req for us but chem isnt
AP bio or honors chem freshman year?
would you be able to take the same courses after (in sophomore year)?
yeah
I recommend doing Chem honors
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
no but if he can take AP bio
and handle it
it's useufl
bc GPA boost and all that
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
oh then you'll eb fine
take AP bio
ok
take it if you can, but it isn't too too important imo
the GPA boost obviously helps
ok ty
Is AP English Language difficult since I'm going to take it in Junior year
It’s not easy
But it’s not difficult
As I’ve heard it’s so so
Okay then I heard also about the same with students at my school
Check pins
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!
I’m taking physics c right now while also being enrolled in calc bc at the same time, so I didn’t know any calculus before taking it, you only need to know the most basic derivatives and integrating so don’t worry about it
Yeah
tysm
1st sem bc is like ab review
ill also talk with the teacher for ap phsyics c
Only some differential equations but they are very simple
if its really only that
It’s hard tho I have a C rn 😂
then that should be doable
Yeah
I just don’t study if I did I would have an A
I’m lazy af
U going to be a senior?
junior
Nice, if you want to take physics c go for it
If you did well in physics 1 you’ll be fine
psych content itself isn't hard but it is a lot of notes like they said
it's pretty memorization heavy
but it's one of the less overwhelming APs
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
Should I take AP microeconomic
If u want
I am going in as freshman
Come to the question
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
Just do all 3
lol
Theres only two options and I have already committed to programming as my other option so its my only choice
Its electives
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
And passion
Interest
Sorry
I am asking @molten orchid by mistake i ping you @ionic ginkgo
Oh I am looking for dual into business and CS
Drop electronics and arts
The problem with bussiness is that the teachers are really bad next year and people are averaging 86
Do self study in home after school
Despite doing well in class and classwork
anyone know about this
So should I stick to business
Yes
Elaborate
Like what I menat by bad teachers are like hard markers not bad teaching material if that makes the context more clear
Are you in usa?.
@molten orchid where you want to study
us
Which country
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
@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
Depends on college most of the country has their language test.
So idk about it
T20 colleges
Which country
Ok thanks for the help
USA
Usa is English speaking country
So they’re fine with this?
