course-selection

[vale sluice]

Any tips for AP physics, I am taking it this

upcoming year.

[wise forge]

why some years do you have 10 classes, others you have 9 and one you have 8?

and your school goes up to biology 3 💀

[finite trellis]

formulas, formulas, formulas

[vale sluice]

The whole course?

[finite trellis]

its a lot of formulas

also, get good at dimension analysis. it helps a lot if you catch yourself in a sticky situation when you forget something

[nimble shoal]

exactly

[stone zealot]

What are u supposed to do when you wanna take a lot of classes

Bur like… don’t have time to

[primal birch]

I think taking AP pre calc would be kinda useless just take pre calc because colleges want you to be ready to jump into calculus AP precalc won’t show anything rather show you that you took calculus in high school(precalc is a high school class though)

[cinder gorge]

I will be a junior this upcoming year, these are the classes I took/will take. I am also in my schools GSA, Mock trial team, and in Civil Air Patrol. What do you think/what should I major in based on this. 9th: Inte. Math 1, Adv. English, PE & Health, AP Italian (at my school they made the class into two years bc all the other classes are way to easy),Theater 1-2, Spanish 1-2, Biology. 10th: Inte.Math 2, Honors English, AP world, AP italian (I took the exam), Chem, PE, photo 1-2 . 11th: AP US history, AP Lang, Cinematography, Theater 3-4, Film as lit (first sem) and sociology (2 sem), Inte Math 3 12th: AP Gov and econ, AP composition, Intro to data science, Honors Cinematography,AP seminar,speech and debate, fashion or painting

[rocky meadow]

does anyone know 3 electives (business related) i can take in grade 11. im canadian btw

[cinder gorge]

sorry ab the format

[cinder gorge]

economics, microeconomics, and law. It depends

[rocky meadow]

i took accounting as one business related course

im thinking law but idk i want to have some bird courses

[cinder gorge]

that's good!

it always depends on what you want to do.

[rocky meadow]

yea thanks

[winged bear]

ok, ive taken aphug bfore so no histories but pretty close to one, but i do know a lot of stuff in european history (i do quizbowl and we do study sessions on random stuff and we do a lot of history)

[left coral]

would these be good junior and senior year schedules?
Spanish 4 Honors
AP Calculus BC
Computer Math/App Development 1 Honors (idk i haven't decided yet)
AP Lang
AP Micro and Macroeconomics
Physics Honors
AP US History

bro i forgot to send sneior

nvm ill do i later

but yeah would this be good

[primal birch]

Btw if you have so many classes you will have to study for a long time after school. You won’t have enough time to do extracurricular activities

Try to balance your courses, life, and extracurriculars. When I talked to my course counsellor she told me an analogy. She said high school is a bowl of soup. Your goal is to make it delicious so the colleges would be impressed. If you put too much of something into your soup it will mess up the ratio and it will turn out bad. So try putting a balance between your courses, extracurriculars, and your own life

[winged bear]

Jokes on her, I dont have a social life (no joke bcuz a lot of the people at my school think they r special and are just plain and simple assholes)

[vapid moon]

imo, this is the most random schedule

[primal birch]

Tbh people in my school are also like that. But, the only life I have is eat, sleep, go to school, repeat(ig this is what they mean my STEM people not getting a social life)

[primal birch]

Are you gonna take AP Spanish?

[latent canyon]

Guys

What should i do the first thing i enter an interview session?

[hollow matrix]

Finance is great! I love personal finance and accounting.

[serene juniper]

Greet the interviewer

Make sure u look appropriate

Not too uptight but charismatic and relaxed. Take a deep breath bruv. And focus on the topic at hand.

[latent canyon]

Anymore?

[serene juniper]

Id say look over your ur resume and have a general thought of what your answers are gonna be for the questions the interviewer will ask or is looking for.
Keep a good posture and eye contact.
Keep thinking that it’s a normal conversation and keep ur tone consistent.
Don’t be monotone all the time it’s boring change it up. Unless it’s a super formal interview

Lastly have fun with it!

And Good luck!

[serene juniper]

Ur school have virtual enterprise

[vapid moon]

then get certifieed

ik some cc's have programs to get certified

u can get trained and start being an emt like next yr

oh nvm, thats what ur doing rn

[feral lava]

We have to take 9 classes per year, we have a zero hour that stays the same and 4 different classes each day

And PE, Health, and Spanish 2 are over the summer

[feral lava]

I want to take AP precalc for the GPA boost, but idk if my school offers it

[primal birch]

I see, Alright then up to you then. You are going to take the exam right?

[feral lava]

No

[primal birch]

Ok 👌

Of your school doesn’t offer it the closest it would get to AP precalc is honours precalc if you have it

[feral lava]

Yeah I think my school offers Advanced precalc

Thanks

[primal birch]

Yeah great 😊 take that

[lilac anvil]

alr well I'm having problems choosing between AP Psychology and General Psychology. I'm going to be taking Anatomy at the same time and I keep having people tell me I'm going to die. especially since I also do sports and extra curriculars.. I don't know what to do

these are my classes I'm planning on taking

[radiant drift]

guys what is more profitable

IT

or

Computer Science

[unique stone]

would Electrical engineering be better or Mechanical Engineering?

[lilac anvil]

@copper coral

[copper coral]

I am watching a live medical surgery

So. I might be on and off

[copper coral]

What are all of your classes

[lilac anvil]

here

[copper coral]

K

[copper coral]

Do AP Psyc

It’s worth it

[lilac anvil]

ok

😬

[copper coral]

You are not taking too hard classes

If you were doing Anatomy and AP Bio, and AP Lang, I would not recommend it, but you should do it

[copper coral]

Hey, my father is recommending duel enrollment, and I am wondering if I should take duel enrollment in high school and what classes are available for duel enrollment

[foggy jolt]

what are the prerequisite math classes for linear algebra

and for the common classes that people do dual enrollment at community colleges

like linear algebra, multivariable calc, and differential equations

what exactly is the order you take them in

is it linear algebra first

and do you need to have completed calc bc for all of em

[wise forge]

usually 2 to 3 semesters of calculus

[foggy jolt]

ab or bc?

[wise forge]

BC is 2 semesters

assuming you get a 5 and the college accepts the credit

[foggy jolt]

its only 1 semester at my school

[wise forge]

no

well

interesting

then you have to take calc 2 or 3

and

calc 2 and 3

[foggy jolt]

1 semester/term in my school is about 18 weeks

[wise forge]

ye that’s the normal semester length

[foggy jolt]

whats calc 2 or 3

my school its just

[wise forge]

The rest of the calculus series

[foggy jolt]

integrated 1

integrated 2

integrated 3

[wise forge]

high school?

[foggy jolt]

precalc

calc ab

then calc bc

[foggy jolt]

yeah

[wise forge]

oh

then

calc ab is 1 semester

calc bc is 2 semesrers

semesters

so calc bc credit would be calc 1 & 2 in college

so for linear algebra most of the time you need calc 3

[foggy jolt]

oh

[wise forge]

either as a co-req or a pre req

[foggy jolt]

ok when is multivariable calc

taken

after linear algebra

?

[wise forge]

that’s calc 3

so before

[foggy jolt]

i see

and differential equations

[wise forge]

that is a weird one

at my college linear algebra and differential equations are combined into one 5 unit class, but you can also take them separately in two 3 unit classes

for differential equations technically you only need calc 2

[foggy jolt]

so do you take differential equations after linear & multivariable calc

[wise forge]

i am going to take the combined linear algebra and diff class

so at the same time?

it’s something you will discuss with your college counselor when you get there

you can take it concurrently with multi, could take it after, it depends

[foggy jolt]

my school actually doesnt offer those classes

[wise forge]

yes i know

[foggy jolt]

so i would have to take it at a cc

[wise forge]

yeah

that is what i’m saying

High schools don’t have the resources to offer that high level of math

[foggy jolt]

im going into my junior yr now

and im gonna take pre calc and calc ab

and senior yr i will take calc bc

so would it be a good idea to take all those classes senior yr

or summer after senior yr

[wise forge]

no

[wise forge]

no

take it in college

[full remnant]

Heyy
I am good at Maths and Physics but I am interested in journalism. Any suggestions?

[strong vale]

Well so the stuff you like

I mean up to you

Wait ur in 8th grade

Why r you guys so worried about college?

The courses you do have nothing to do with college, I think

Like my highschool doesn't have nearly as many AP's as most schools

I see on this

[weak delta]

Whats the highest level of math most cs majors do in a bs in computer science?

[strong vale]

Well it depends

Because cs would max be calc 2

And something called discrete math is suppose

[weak delta]

Im taking that in my 2nd year. Would there be no direct math classes after that?

Discrete math*

[strong vale]

I think so

I mean idk

Never did ca

Cs

I'm a highschooler

[agile mist]

Is 3 APs enough to impress a college if you dedicate a lot of your time to extracurriculares

[vital olive]

depends

what were the aps cs vs and how many are offered

[vapid moon]

how to get into yale

[left coral]

rn im taking a bio course over the summer and I have a 71. the grade's most likely gonna go up but idk if I'll be able to get it to an A by the end of the course, so my question is should i drop it or nah? bc if i drop it it's gonna show on my transcript as a withdrawn pass and idk if that will look bad

[stone swift]

I think if you pass the course, it doesn’t matter what grade you get. You just need to pass in order to advance to your next grade level.

[placid nexus]

Hello

Is AP physiology a good fit for me I going into my senior year of high school

[haughty schooner]

Psychology is a good class for every person

Go for it

It’s good to learn about psychology

[vapid moon]

depends

[proven totem]

It’s an easy class

Free GPA boost

[vapid moon]

u took it?

[proven totem]

yeah for sure I took it in 6th grade

[haughty schooner]

Bruh how

[cinder gorge]

Was i right to take yearbook and be apart of it

[proven totem]

can I take band in freshman year even if I have not done it in middle school 💀

[vapid moon]

how old r u

[proven totem]

21

[kindred valve]

you might. some high schools have a class. but you wont be able to take marching band unless you plan on playing percussion

[proven totem]

Ok

[wise forge]

This was the complete opposite at my school, everyone could march except percussionists. I did percussion starting in 7th grade and my middle school did a WGI circuit to prepare us to march in marching band. When I got to High School, they only let the people who did percussion prior to do it. If you didn't, they gave you a flute or something.

[wise forge]

yes it is encouaged

[kindred valve]

woah really?

[wise forge]

Cus percussion needs to be good

horns don't they can just not play

[kindred valve]

mhm

[wise forge]

(i've marched Bass, Snare, Tenors, Alto Sax, Contra Tuba, and a few parades on trumpet)

[kindred valve]

the percussionists at my high school have a band camp for marching band so we practice along side the rest of the marching band

[kindred valve]

cool

[wise forge]

wdym

Only percussionists have band camp 💀

[kindred valve]

right before school starts all the students doing band camp are part of marching band

our school's band camp is for all the marching kids

[wise forge]

Yeah

We have band camp for the 2 week b4 school starts and then during the summer tuesday, wednesday, thursday from 4-9

Percussion then meets extra on saturdays

[kindred valve]

ohhh nice

[wise forge]

yeah

[kindred valve]

same

our band camp is one week from 9 to 9

then practice on saturdays is 12 - 9

[wise forge]

Ours is 2 weeks 7-23 💀

we have lunch and dinner breaks

[kindred valve]

and we have 4-6 practice on tues and thurs

[wise forge]

noice

[kindred valve]

that a long practice

[wise forge]

yeah

it was

[kindred valve]

are you guys super competitive or...

[wise forge]

no we just sucked so bad coming out of. covid

this year, im not doing it, but i've heard its lighter

[kindred valve]

ohhh ok

[wise forge]

Got kicked out

sadly

[kindred valve]

take revenge lmao

[wise forge]

i did

[kindred valve]

oh

[wise forge]

I stole half the drumline and pit

they quit

[kindred valve]

LMAO

our percussion has a winter season only for them

so its pretty cool ngl

[wise forge]

Basically the percussion director didn't like that i was nationally ranked in other things, and he felt that others who only had percussion deserved it better, so he cut me from the winter line, and then said that since I didn't do the winter line I wasn't elligible to audition in the fall

[wise forge]

ye

[kindred valve]

oh dang

thats unfair

if you're a good percussionist then you should be allowed to stay

[wise forge]

My school was going to go to WGI World Champs in Dayton, but we didn't have nearly enough money so we couldn't

i was a reliable percussionist

not a great one

[kindred valve]

thats still good

[wise forge]

but i get paid to play percussion so

Now i do anyway

[kindred valve]

some people cant even hold their mallets right

[wise forge]

I accompany choirs and jazz bands n stuff

[kindred valve]

jazz band is pretty epic

[wise forge]

you'd be surprised how many jazz bands need a drummer or someone to play vibes

[kindred valve]

most people avoid the vibes for some reason

[wise forge]

or need me to stand there and play claves

I did too

[kindred valve]

lmao so did i

im a marimba player

[wise forge]

ah

I was on the drumline and then i moved to pit because it was less of a commitment

[kindred valve]

i started from pit because the drums were really heavy

i remember when i first put it on and i started to fall forward

[wise forge]

I wanted to play drumset, but they didn't want to write a set part so they were gonna make me play vibes so i stopped showing up until they gave me the rack.

[kindred valve]

ah ok

[wise forge]

Rack was fun cus it was just like marching instruments but not marching and i had to cover a bunch of parts so i was running around the entire time

[kindred valve]

fr

[wise forge]

oh wow

In 7th grade I marched bass 5

I remember going to a football game and I hit a pole with it on

[kindred valve]

lmao

[wise forge]

Our percussion had a winter season and we'd go to a few football games

band didn't do jackshit

[kindred valve]

the winter season is honestly better in my opinion

[wise forge]

Eh

I liked it

I didn't get to do it much tho

[kindred valve]

oh

[wise forge]

I did it in Middle school, than covid, then my year back I got injured bad playing soccer so I couldn't march, and then this year when he decided to cut me

[kindred valve]

ohhh ok
covid kinda caused lots of people to quite marching band in my school

[wise forge]

Hes actually leaving now. We're losing everyone in out instrumental music department except 1 band director and that band director tried getting me to stay but i'd have to march Bass 2.

I said i'd do it if he could work it into my schedule. ( which he can't)

[kindred valve]

oh no
are you in another music class (orch, band, etc)

[wise forge]

I'm in the chamber choir

[kindred valve]

woah thats cool

[wise forge]

That wasn't the main issue tho

[kindred valve]

i see

is it required to take another music class to do marching (it is in my hs)

[wise forge]

Yeah

I said he could bemd the rules and he wasl ike nahhhh

My school only offers 6 periods

so thats how bad it was looking

[kindred valve]

cant you ask for a 0 period or smth

[wise forge]

They don't have a 0 period class i could take for it

[kindred valve]

oh ok

[wise forge]

I got a course passed through my school board, and worked closely with the Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum on making a class for my Mock Trial program, but it didn't get UC Certified yet so its not gonna be a 0 period yet

but that would have added on

[kindred valve]

thats really cool though

[wise forge]

are you in Cali

[kindred valve]

mhm
(india rn though)

[wise forge]

ah

I am also in cali

so is the e

[orchid anvil]

oh im in cali maybe i can help?

[wise forge]

i see you typing

[orchid anvil]

yeah lmao

[wise forge]

nah

just chatting

[orchid anvil]

alr

[wise forge]

just waiting on the UC system to A-G certify the course

[orchid anvil]

well even if the mock triial program doesnt get UC certified i would still take it

[wise forge]

but it’s in my districts course catalog officially and it’s being taught at one of the high schools

[orchid anvil]

A-G is really there to measure rigor and stuff

at least thats what i used it for

[wise forge]

well and if the elective counts towards the elective requirements

[orchid anvil]

from my experience only AP classes have counted for electives in college

[wise forge]

we also don’t have anyone that is allowed to teach it yet sadly

[wise forge]

no the A-G requirements for admission

[orchid anvil]

oh with your class schedule you don't need to worry bout that lol

[wise forge]

ik

it’s for others

[orchid anvil]

i see

[wise forge]

I’ve already met the A through G requirements

[orchid anvil]

but from what i now if someone has the credits to graduate from a CA highschool they automatically meet the A-G requirements

[wise forge]

no

California only requires 13 classes

my school adds on 10

not all 23 meet the requirements for a-g tho

[orchid anvil]

well other than the usual 4 years english, 3 years math, 2 years science theres just like 3 other courses that are required

i think its 2 years foreign language 1 year art

and at least at my higschool they required those things too

[wise forge]

yeah

Not at mine

[orchid anvil]

interesting

[wise forge]

over 50% fail math 2

so

[orchid anvil]

dang

[wise forge]

we only require 2 years of math and we don't even require math 2, we only require foundations math 2

[orchid anvil]

hmm i see

[wise forge]

wrong ss

[orchid anvil]

well sometimes schools can get away with including the math requirement into other classes

idk if yours might do that

[orchid anvil]

dang you require 4 years of phys ed?

mine only needed two lol

[wise forge]

Yeah

they care bout PE a lot

[orchid anvil]

i think the school kinda meets the math requirement through the academic breadth section

[wise forge]

It can

Most of the students don't 💀

[orchid anvil]

i mean with the breadth section and the electives its kinda crazy that most dont imo LOL but i can see what you mean

[wise forge]

Electives are like TA and PE

[orchid anvil]

i know some....interesting kids at my school too

[wise forge]

Stick em in Art

[orchid anvil]

ah

[wise forge]

somethin like that

Most kids barely pass

but our grad rate is like 97%

[orchid anvil]

sounds about right

NCLB and all that

[wise forge]

I knew a kid who never showed up to his classes after lunch and somehow still walked

yeah

They take all the credits they miss in like a 4 hour course online

[orchid anvil]

sounds like my school

well regardless your courseload looks great for what i assume is your junior year?

actually feels like a senior couseload with all the CC classes too

[wise forge]

yeah

I finish my AA fall sem

[orchid anvil]

dang youre getting an AA?

[wise forge]

yeah

Ill have it b4 my hs dimploma cus my district doesn't let you graduate early

[orchid anvil]

lol nice

what in?

[wise forge]

I will have 235 credits in all the right categorys by the end of my junior year tho

My district also doesn't accept college credit as high school credit

they think they're better

[orchid anvil]

neither does mine tbf

[wise forge]

so next year I have to take lower level classes

again

fr my degree should certify my high school graduation

[orchid anvil]

nah you def want to have a senior year

no need to get ahead

[wise forge]

i want to have a senior year but i don't wanna take classes again

i just wanna take like 2 electives and thats it

[orchid anvil]

yeah just do that

[wise forge]

can't

[orchid anvil]

i mean if youre basically done with hs just take easy af classes and take a break

even if you have to take like 4 classes

[wise forge]

I have to enroll in at least 2 core academic classes... which they don't have any more to give me so they're trying to figure it out, and then i have to be enrolled in a minimum of 5 classes.

[orchid anvil]

see if you could TA in like 2 classes or something lol

[wise forge]

my solution was to let me take us history my senior year, but another policy makes me take it junior year

[orchid anvil]

i mean you still have junior year

[wise forge]

those aren't core classes lol

cus like i will be fine on electives

[orchid anvil]

2 TA classes 2 core classes 1 elective

or just 3 elective where you can do nothing

[wise forge]

Yeah but they still don't know what core classes I can be in because I have complete them all

its usually PE, English, and gov/econ, but im getting those credits at another school, so then its like, what other core academic classes can they give me? I have the max math and science lol

[orchid anvil]

i mean just take like 2 fewer classes this year and move them to next year

[wise forge]

can't

[orchid anvil]

like take gov and econ nxt year

[wise forge]

can't

Its a package deal

💀

[orchid anvil]

wdym

[wise forge]

so

5 of those classes are in a lab

or based around it

so i can't just not do some of the classes

[orchid anvil]

how are gov and econ in a lab? okay maybe your school is just weird lol

[wise forge]

Its not at my school

[orchid anvil]

im sure there's a way to take new classes senior year

just talk to your conselor abt it

[wise forge]

.

[orchid anvil]

i just feel like this is a non issue

[wise forge]

eh

they could not graduate me

happened before

not to me

[orchid anvil]

girl youre prob top of the class just talk to your conselor abt it

[wise forge]

..

i d i d

also im not top of my class anymore

[orchid anvil]

and they said "yeah youre not gonna graduate"???

like what?

[wise forge]

"there is a posibility we may not be able to graduate you"

[orchid anvil]

girl aint no fucking way im sorry

[wise forge]

What that means is that they could get me a diploma from the continuation school

what they usually do

it just looks bad

lol

[orchid anvil]

looks bad to whom? youll have an AA

before g r a d u a t i n g

[wise forge]

if i apply to ucs i apply as a freshman even with my aa so

They see hs more than college

[orchid anvil]

i can assure you that they wont be wondering if you graduated or npt

[wise forge]

the other option is a directive studies English class and I just double up on english

[orchid anvil]

just get any form of hs diploma and apply and youll get into at least 1 UC lol

[wise forge]

yeah

Im guarenteed admission into a uc

[orchid anvil]

yeah with the CC credit fs

[wise forge]

its cus i am taking more than 80 courses in total so the GPA i would need to be top 10% in my class is a 3.6 and i have a 4.6

Luckily i don't plan on going anywhere else

but yeah

[orchid anvil]

UCs rock so youre not missing out if you just apply to them yeah

[wise forge]

Also E, this is the same school whos counselor called the cops on me because I missed two days of school due to a flight delay which we called the school about

and I had to go to court and argue that i wasn't truant

because i didn't even miss 3 ddays

[orchid anvil]

damn okay

well hopefully college will be nicer to you

[wise forge]

thats the plan

[orchid anvil]

are your parents on board?

[wise forge]

wdym

[orchid anvil]

just like are they aware about your class load and the problems around that?

i feel like they could help

[wise forge]

I mean they're aware

they helped fight my court battles for m

e

💀

[orchid anvil]

yeah so talk to them about this if it really becomes an issue

[wise forge]

My mom just thinks my counselor is stupid

[orchid anvil]

probably after all of this

id agree LMAO

[wise forge]

obv

[orchid anvil]

youll figure it out im sure

[wise forge]

they're gonna know if im not gonna graduate 😭

no they will

i don't get paid enough to actually deal with it

[orchid anvil]

you dont get paid 💀

[wise forge]

Ill just make an entire thing saying they're transphobic if they don't graduate me

[orchid anvil]

girl please

dont do that

theres too much hate already

sorry im jaded about that stuff

[wise forge]

i won't 💀

I live in the bible belt of california, well close neough to it

i don't wanna be hung 20 miles awya

[orchid anvil]

sorry that sucks

[wise forge]

nah its actually pretty nice believe it or not

besides the hate

the people are nice and have their shit together so

[orchid anvil]

i live in a pretty progressive area so ig its hard for me to relate

[wise forge]

they just have something against transpeople

[wise forge]

ah

I live in the most progressive conservative place

[orchid anvil]

damn sacremento fs 💀

[wise forge]

no

[orchid anvil]

jk jk

[wise forge]

💀

I live close enough to death valley that it gets in the 120s

[orchid anvil]

sheesh

[wise forge]

and where the state government doesn't fund the social programs so we have people just on their own besides the benevolence of our own people

[orchid anvil]

yeah ig its different for me for better or worse

im not gonna lie im in a fairly affluent area so the schools here are more helpful ig

[wise forge]

💀

I live in a lower-middle class area which is the nice part

So our schools are pretty good

[orchid anvil]

well thats nice

kinda sucks that theyre being so difficult with you though

[placid nexus]

I need help

So I need 40 more credits to graduate high school what should I take to finish it off cause I doing health for summer school and I only taking 5 class both semester

[vapid moon]

y r u doing calc 1 and 2 at cc when ur doing calc 2 at hs

[agile mist]

These are all the courses I have and plan to take, is this rigorous enough?

[proven totem]

What is ur definition of rigorous enough

like for a school for Harvard, mit?

[agile mist]

U of M and UPenn are my dream schools

[proven totem]

And why take English 11

[agile mist]

there is no honors at my school for 11 and i didnt want to take ap lang

[proven totem]

Why are u not taking AP classes for social studies

U.S. history world geography

[agile mist]

Hate history

[proven totem]

Take ap lang for UPenn

[vapid moon]

its whatever

[proven totem]

u have to take the most rigorous acailable for ivy

[agile mist]

ok, thx

[proven totem]

Take ap for social studies as well for UPenn if u can

[vapid moon]

1 ap aint gonna break a schedule

[proven totem]

you might have to study a lot

[proven totem]

Make it 5

[vapid moon]

idk, the schedule seems like it has severe lack of planning

[proven totem]

No

I can clearly tell they like art

[agile mist]

i switched schools after 9th so i went from having 8 classes to 6 so I didn't know what to take

[proven totem]

Dang lol I also switched and I have 8 now instead of 7 and I can’t think of what to take

[agile mist]

oof

[vapid moon]

its not about telling what they like

[vapid moon]

then plan

[proven totem]

but if they are gonna major in art then I don’t see a problem with that

🤓

Oh wait they’re only taking one art classs

[vapid moon]

r they majoriing in that

idk where ur getting all this info from

[agile mist]

I was thinking about majoring in music technology

[proven totem]

Alright that explains the AP CSP and CSA

What about art foundations

[vapid moon]

wtf

[agile mist]

i didnt get into band so i had to take that

[proven totem]

bruh

[vapid moon]

consider making revisions to ur schedule

[proven totem]

anyways I would say u messed ur schedule a bit on the freshman year but just look into classes like stagecraft

[vapid moon]

its not messed up

idk what ur saying about all this stuff

[proven totem]

art foundations??

why would u take that class 😭

[vapid moon]

to explore intrests?

[proven totem]

Public speaking??

[vapid moon]

^

[proven totem]

lmao okay that’s not how it works for UPenn

[agile mist]

mandatory

[proven totem]

I hate when states apply some requirements

[vapid moon]

u seriously think a 9th grader is gonna know what they gonna want to do for the rest of their life?

[proven totem]

yeah UPenn students do

they probably figured it out in 1st grade

[vapid moon]

i literally have a friend that got accepted to upenn and his schedule had something similar

u gotta stop judging especially since u dont even go to college

[proven totem]

oh wait crap

I’m 14

[agile mist]

My extracurriculars will help out on that since ive been doing robotics and compsci club

[proven totem]

idk I was just speaking from experience

why u so mad

[vapid moon]

what experience

[proven totem]

I have freinds

[vapid moon]

so does everyone else?

[proven totem]

??

I’m pretty sure you don’t because you won’t be hanging out here

Considering ur a f*cking junior

What happened to preparing for SAT?

[vapid moon]

theres something called "having different priorities"

[proven totem]

so ur priority is to just troll

and negate everything I say

[vapid moon]

think whatever u want

[proven totem]

why do u sound like borger

[vapid moon]

tf

[proven totem]

haha

[viral pebble]

Is Spanish 9th grade honors hard

[proven totem]

No

[winged bear]

What specific spanish level? Cuz 1 and 2 were extremely light.

[viral pebble]

2

Intermediate 2

[winged bear]

I did the most advanced version of spanish 2 at my school and it was a carbon copy of spanish 1 except with some past tense units (like 2 months of that)

I only did spanish 2 for brightfutures (fl scholarship for free state college)

[wise forge]

oops, calc 1 and calc 2 are at a university and i’m taking calc bc so i can get high school math credit. Just gives me guaranteed credit since idk how well i’ll do on the ap exam

[wise forge]

oh no not borger

scary

[proven totem]

this guy lowkey borgers alt or half brother

[wise forge]

💀

[vapid moon]

huh ok

then y not switch the math with something else so that after u get ur test score u can get placed in a higher math

so that it doesnt take as much time

[placid nexus]

I going to do college course online like Calculus 1 and AP physic c Mechanics

[vapid moon]

it saves more time

[bitter hornet]

Hi

[wise forge]

uh?

wdym

[vapid moon]

save the college math for a different semester

[wise forge]

why tho

[vapid moon]

cuz ur doing both at the same time and if u get like a 5 on the ap test all the cc stuff would be useless

[wise forge]

no

because transferring

If i transfer my credit from a CSU, my major program will accept it at some colleges while they won’t accept a 5

[vapid moon]

whats the some college?

[wise forge]

and if i go to an out of state ubi, they’ll accept my ap credit as more

[wise forge]

wdym

[vapid moon]

my major program will accept it at "some colleges" while they won’t accept a 5

[wise forge]

UC schools

specifically uc san diego

[vapid moon]

UCs accpet ap credit

[wise forge]

for general ed

individual schools and majors dojt

don’t

it’s common

[vapid moon]

major related courses also account for gen ed

[wise forge]

yes

which is why i’m taking calc 1 and calc 2 at csuf

[vapid moon]

fullerton?

[wise forge]

major courses count for ge, not all ge courses count for major

[wise forge]

worse

[vapid moon]

ew

[vapid moon]

y not? cuz i thought if u have the ap score then it counts for the course which is also on the major classes

[wise forge]

my school doesn’t do dual enrollment so the next best thing is to take the same course at a uni and at hs

[wise forge]

It depends on the schools rules

[vapid moon]

how did u get accepted to csuf?

[wise forge]

my mom works there

💀

[vapid moon]

but how did u get accepted

[wise forge]

if you go into a liberal arts major, the school will likely accept any ap credit, go into engineering they prob won’t accept any

[wise forge]

a little bit of

trolling 💀

my mom does admissions

technically i’m admitted as a student in a different college, but then i take the classes at csuf

it’s a fun little thing

[vapid moon]

how does that work with attendance and work?

cuz the prof at the other college would have assigned work n stuf, right?

[wise forge]

ye

[frail echo]

Btw does doing a B.Sc in Physics and then M.Sc and probably then a P.hD have any good job opportunities?

[wise forge]

So professors have freedom on how to teach their class

and a lot give optional homework

including this one

and attendance is just more help for me so

show up and take the tests

[vapid moon]

y dont u just wanna go to class at the other college

[wise forge]

wdym

[vapid moon]

the college ur admitted to

[vapid moon]

^

[wise forge]

i’m enrolled in the classes at csuf, so that’s where they’re taken, i am an enrolled student in fcc. Just means that i don’t have permission to enroll in other classes at csuf without certain things.

I take other classes at the college tho

[vapid moon]

how r u enrolled if ur not an actural student

[wise forge]

the same way you do it when you want to take electives at another high school

you’re not an actual student at that other high school, you’re just enrolled in the class

same way in college

[vapid moon]

yeah but dont u gotta be an admitted student at csuf to take classes there

[wise forge]

no you don’t

[vapid moon]

oh rlly?

[wise forge]

you have to be an admitted student at fcc

[vapid moon]

then how will i get credits?

[wise forge]

it goes on your fresno state transcript and your fcc transcript

admitted just gives you 4 years of eligibility and 135 units of privilege to enroll in classes

i was just given that privilege for 9 units and 2 courses

[vapid moon]

huh, cuz im just doing classes at cc

[wise forge]

it’s common here for fcc students to do this for major requirements, especially for stem majors, so i just did it too.and my mom works there so she helped me

[wise forge]

my cc had a deal with csuf with this sort of thing

[vapid moon]

ahh

now it makes sense

[wise forge]

ah

[vapid moon]

i dont think my cc has an agreement

but whats the purpose of getting csuf and cc credit for the same class? if u do just cc wont it just transfer

[wise forge]

Eh, better opportunity.

[vapid moon]

huh

[frail echo]

Anyone know anything bout this?

[wise forge]

I could do it at the CC if i wanted

[frail echo]

Pls help

[wise forge]

sorry i don’t

i’d say probably since that’s a high level

you could teach it 🤷‍♀️

[frail echo]

Ok

[vapid moon]

just look around

isnt there like a job shortage rn?

[frail echo]

Btw can anyone tell me the course structure in US?

[vapid moon]

hs or cc or elem or ms

[frail echo]

Of your education system whole thing?

[vapid moon]

thats wayyy to vague

[frail echo]

Like from pre nursery to PhD...level

How does it work?

[vapid moon]

from elem to college is 16 iirc

[frail echo]

This...?

[vapid moon]

wdym?

like just classes or classes + teachers

[frail echo]

It's so confusing

[vapid moon]

ur not clear

[frail echo]

Like when's a baby is born

Where does he go

To study?

[vapid moon]

sometimes people admit their toddlers to pre school

[frail echo]

[frail echo]

Then you get to study your preferred subjects in College?

[proven totem]

Why are you asking these questions

[frail echo]

After 18 years of your life...

[vapid moon]

not necessarily

[proven totem]

That’s so dumb

[vapid moon]

stop judging

[proven totem]

Just search this stuff

[frail echo]

Then after HS you get job?

[vapid moon]

[vapid moon]

y do u care?

[frail echo]

I mean here in my country after you get A master degree or soo you get a decent paying job then you can settle with a family...

[frail echo]

Sorry to interfere

If you don't wanna say it's ok

[proven totem]

Wait how much is decent pay

[vapid moon]

not everyone does that

[frail echo]

Yeah

[vapid moon]

[flint river]

You guys are currently violating rule 7: Use channels for their intended purpose. Please terminate conversation from this channel. I am getting uncomfortable 😣

[proven totem]

What are the options?

[vapid moon]

[flint river]

Do a fine arts course

It’ll help a lot

[proven totem]

W

Art > STEM

[flint river]

👍

[frail echo]

Like whats this channel for

I'm asking what's intended

[haughty schooner]

How to pick classes

[flint river]

Taking about age I think

Asking for peoples age

[haughty schooner]

Oh yeah my bad

[vapid moon]

at least its a t500

[wise forge]

ah

it’s a top ag school

[vapid moon]

ag?

[wise forge]

agriculture

[vapid moon]

ag is kinda lame imo

[wise forge]

wha

💀

[vapid moon]

plants take forever to grow

its too much waiting

[wise forge]

lmao

just bonemeal

[vapid moon]

but still

it takes months to get a yield

Especially if im trying to grow an avacado tree from seed

it takes like too long

[proven totem]

Agreed and the name too

[proven totem]

is the AP stats class related to machine learning

[orchid anvil]

no

but it does go a little into linear regression but not in a machine learning way

[gloomy lotus]

In elementary and middle school, you're exposed to a variety of different classes (arts, science, math, P.E, etc.). Im hs you can figure out what you want to do and take more courses related to that topic, but there's still a good mix of other classes. In college is where you choose your major which is the topic which you want to get a degree/job in. That is where you mainly only take classes required for your degree\

[gloomy lotus]

no

can it help? yes

not directly ML tho

[proven totem]

Oh okay lol i read somewhere being good at math is important for ML

[wise forge]

it is, you just don't need to be good at math for AP stats

Ap stats is a pretty easy class

[proven totem]

alr

[orchid anvil]

my teachers was...bad for ap stats but the content is actually pretty interesting

[amber owl]

is english 9 honors similar to regular english?

[tight pendant]

Yeah it’s pretty similar, honors has a heavier work load though, still I’d totally recommend it. I’m not the greatest student but still enjoyed myself and did well. If you have any more questions ab the class feel free to reach out!

[amber owl]

what grade did you get?

[tight pendant]

I aced it

[amber owl]

yeah just nervous about it lol

first time taking an honors class, so i dont know how i'll react or what it'll be like

[tight pendant]

Hey don’t worry, high-school is very never racking. It’s gonna be alright trust.

[amber owl]

yeah, and on my i-ready, i got like at grade level for reading, shouldnt i be getting above considering i've been recommended for it?

[tight pendant]

If you don’t like it and can’t handle the work load, you can always drop down a level. But be prepared for people that may not take school as seriously

[amber owl]

how many assignments did you get a week if you remembered

[tight pendant]

3ish, every teacher is gonna be a bit different

[haughty schooner]

Depends on the school

My school it’s the exact same except just something tweaked

Just looks better on an application

[amber owl]

alr, and is it true honor classes boost your gpa by 0.5?

[haughty schooner]

Depends

On the school

My school doesn’t

Still take them

[amber owl]

alr

do you guys know anything about i-ready

[haughty schooner]

Fuck that thing

Burn it

[amber owl]

ikr

[haughty schooner]

Burn it alive

[amber owl]

it's saying im barely at grade level for reading

but i have an A+ in english this school year

[mystic cliff]

U guys have any advice for pre-calc

[vapid moon]

cc

[solar vault]

guys should i do dual enrollment to get credit for what i want to major in or do dual enrollment for preparing for aps?

[proven totem]

is it worth spending time self studying Chemistry Honors so I can take AP biology in 10th grade

[vapid moon]

y do u wanna do that?

[proven totem]

so I can take AP biology in 10th grade

[vapid moon]

then just take it

or just do gen chem fall semester and whatever equalivant class in spring (equalivant of ap chem)

so ur pretty much guaranteed the college credit

[lilac hull]

what’s the general math path after Calc Bc

[vapid moon]

what system do u use?

intg math or alegbra

oh, after?

idk

check ur cc

[lilac hull]

alr

[weary gust]

Is hl science and double science worth it? (I’m doing hl math, hl bio, sl chem and want to go into biomedical engineering)

[frail aspen]

not sure what hl is, but i too am going to do double science next year! i’m interested in bio psychology

[weary gust]

Hl means higher level, its part of the IB program and is more rigorous and goes in depth. I like bio too 😁

[frail aspen]

oh ok, we don’t have ib at my school. just ap and dual enrollment 🥲

[vapid moon]

u dont need ib

colleges prob alr know that u dont have ib

[frail aspen]

yep they do, i still wish my school had the ib program though!

[vapid moon]

y

[proven totem]

its okay lol its not even that good

[frail aspen]

oh lolll

[vapid moon]

heh?

no

[proven totem]

bruh

[high tundra]

it really depends

some schools don't have anything after AP Calculus BC

but usually i think it's Multivariable Calculus + Linear Algebra

(those are both post-AP semester math courses taken in the same year)

[gray pewter]

Might be hard, considering that they’re all IB, but have you taken any physics classes? Other than that, if you’re ready for the workload, then yeah it could be worth it

[gray pewter]

My school does AP Stats, and if you’re in IB, HL 2

[lunar aspen]

Is AP computer science priciples generally a tough class for a 9th grader? im just wondering because it is the only AP our school offers in 9th grade'

[haughty schooner]

It’s usually considered the easy AP

Go for it

[high tundra]

i mean calc bc isn't the direct prerequiste of ap stats

[plush girder]

I don’t know if I’m taking enough APs
Freshman Year:
AP Comp Principals
AP Human Geo (Required)
(Only ones I was able to take)
Sophomore (Planned):
AP Calc AB
AP Gov (Required)
AP Lang

What are classes I can take to do more that are easy?

[mint thorn]

You’re taking more than enough

you’ll be fine

[plush girder]

Ok! Thank you! I see so many on my fyp with like 5 aps freshman/Sophomore year and I got worried

[mint thorn]

Yeah I mean aps are really weird cause it’s all dependent on what your school offers

But honestly colleges don’t really care too much

[undone grove]

Is it better to take harder classes and risk your GPA to be lower or to take easier classes and maintain a high GPA? I am going to enter my junior year with a 4.48 GPA (#1 in my class and highest possible GPA). I am taking AP Physics I, Chem, Gov, and Lang along with Honors Pre-Calc, Honors Spanish IV, and Honors Choir. I am really nervous about AP Physics I. Should I keep it or drop to Honors Physics?

[vapid moon]

idk

whats ur priorities

[undone grove]

I want to be valedictorian, but I also want college credit for physics to get out of taking a college class for physics.

[carmine lily]

wait guys, i have a friend who is doing really bad in summer school geometry rn, like she will prob end the semester with a 89. she can drop the course if she wants to but it’s a waste of 700$. and there’s always a second semester. shud she drop it or just keep going?

[vapid moon]

if u want valedictorian and want college credits then find the ratio that u can handle for weighted vs non weighted and if u know u gonna get a B or C then do it at a cc

cuz if u dont do a class that isnt weighted (even tho u get an A) its gonna lower ur weighted gpa

[vapid moon]

but its gonna lower ur college gpa transcript

[carmine lily]

pls help with my issue^ u seem to know what ur doing

[vapid moon]

89 aint really bad, ig she can drop it if shes rich or something, idk

[carmine lily]

but like it’s for geometry

[vapid moon]

ok?

[carmine lily]

it’ll lower her gpa and i feel like everyone says to like “save” the b’s and c’s on harder courses

[vapid moon]

heh

it doesnt work like that

just do de to raise the gpa then

[carmine lily]

wait ur right i’m so dumb

[gray pewter]

It isn’t LOL but that’s how my school does it if you do AP

[plush girder]

700 bucks to take geometry is a waste next time they should do it through a cheaper program but if you spent that much you def shouldn’t drop it

[weary gust]

I took pre IB physics if that counts

[gray pewter]

Yup it does count! Maybe one more physics class down the road, if you want

[heady notch]

how hard is ap physics I

[novel vigil]

How difficult is IB HL Economics compared to IGCSE Economics?

[formal dragon]

In my opinion it was really hard but a few of my classmates didn’t have an issue with it

[earnest jacinth]

The IB program makes a lot of kids suicidal/depressed so idk.-.

[novel vigil]

I wouldn’t say the IB program alone does that,,

Less about IB, more about lack of mental health awareness imo
