course-selection

[untold shard]

=7credits

my cost not a schoalrship

hold up i go to a cc

sorry

ignore me

[cinder gorge]

U can still apply for scholarships

[crimson magnet]

Yea

[cinder gorge]

There are many available

[crimson magnet]

Another thing I’m worried about is that the only thing I can really hold off on is writing and my elective really so it doesn’t impact the rest of my classes

That’s the course load they give to graduate on time for freshman year

[bright skiff]

Wow, I don’t know much about courses in college but aerospace engineering is my dream job, good luck!

[pearl mesa]

You don’t have any labs?

[crimson magnet]

The 3 hour block is a lab

[pearl mesa]

Only Monday

Interesting

[crimson magnet]

It’s a lab for chem

Yea

[pearl mesa]

Still

6 classes

Quite a course load for freshman year

Considering majority of people take 4 classes and leave Mondays and Friday’s for labs

[crimson magnet]

I was thinking of dropping logic and reasoning(yellow class) since it’s an elective and I need 4 to graduate

I’m pretty sure I already have 1 done from a community collage but don’t have any news on if it’ll transfer

[pearl mesa]

All I’ll say is, freshman year maybe take it light?

You’re learning how to live on your own

How to become Independent

But by all means

If you think you can handle it, go for it

[crimson magnet]

I still have until September 5th for classes to start so I can still think about it and do more research I guess

[pearl mesa]

👍🏽

[smoky cosmos]

Hey, I’m a senior this year and debating on what courses to take. I obviously already scheduled courses, but something tells me I should take more AP. I’m only taking one, and idk if it’s worth it to take more or less, or if it matters

[crimson magnet]

What degree are you going for, what is the AP you’re signed up for and is it too late already

[smoky cosmos]

Bs Aerospace engineering

I signed up for AP psych, I want to take AP comp sci too

I don’t have a lot of room to move stuff around

[crimson magnet]

If you don’t have the room to move anything around don’t push yourself. I heard psych is already a lot of memorization by itself

Also nice I’m also going for aerospace

[smoky cosmos]

Where at?

[royal swan]

There's no race to calculus. It's better to have a strong foundation than rush it.

This is pretty standard for engineering. Your degree plan will have the recommended classes, and it's best to follow it because of prerequisites.

[royal swan]

17 hours is a lot, but six of those hours are non-math/science.

As an engineering major, you will have less free time compared to other majors. This will likely be your easiest semester.

The saying is you should expect to spend 2-3 hours outside of class studying for every hour spent in class (credit hour).

[royal swan]

Your advisor should be able to provide this information. Another option is taking the hum/soc electives during the summer.

[uneven wedge]

Is calculus even able to be a middle school subject?

[royal swan]

Yes, it's possible, but it might not be wise or supported by research.

[uneven wedge]

Oh

I thought it was high school and higher

[royal swan]

https://www.pusd.us/domain/2453

The courses begin in 6th grade with students completing calculus by the end of 8th grade and a variety of undergraduate college level math courses during high school.

[uneven wedge]

Wow

[royal swan]

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/why-are-so-many-8th-graders-taking-ap-calculus-at-this-ordinary-school-district/2019/07/05/a78d2220-9d4b-11e9-b27f-ed2942f73d70_story.html

They were told their plan was “not fully research-based,” and officials raised “concerns regarding its developmental appropriateness for 13- and 14-year olds.”

[deft maple]

@royal swan What is a good way to get some exposure on engineering because I want to major in aerospace

[royal swan]

Are you in high school?

[deft maple]

Yes

[royal swan]

Here's three ideas to get started.

1. Join an engineering club (e.g., robotics, rocketry, or makerspace) at your school or in your community.
2. Attend an engineering camp at a local university.
3. Intern at a local engineering company (may require significant research), national lab, or NASA.

The most important thing you can do is build a solid foundation in algebra and trigonometry. It will be critical for calculus and physics.

[mint thorn]

You can intern at nasa as someone our age?? O.o

[royal swan]

Yes, it's possible.

[gloomy lotus]

They have tons of opportunities for highschoolers

[limpid tree]

What do you guys recommeed to take after biology

Im thinking about Advanced Chemistry

but they offer AP physics

so I am not sure what to take

they also offer AP Enligh III

[proven totem]

Just take what u like

[vapid moon]

look at ur major related courses and see what aps count for what

[limpid tree]

I am worried that AP is going to be difficult for English

[vapid moon]

it can be

[limpid tree]

also do you recommend any classes that help with english

Ok

How about in one year

[vapid moon]

24

[proven totem]

shut up borgie

[soft jacinth]

[vapid moon]

theres only 23 aps so 24 is too much

[proven totem]

im taking that tooo... but in my freshman year

[untold shard]

Yeah switch that around

[untold shard]

Yeah idk anymore you only get 4 years and well

[cinder gorge]

in my hs theres like a 4 year course for bio med but it covers different things obv

like it will cover anatomy in sophmore year... thats all i remember but yeah

and i wanted to get out of doing chemistry and physics soo its a win in my eyes

[untold shard]

Ok

[viral pebble]

Is Ap human geo or gov easier

[proven totem]

AP human geo

[viral pebble]

Have you taken either

[vital olive]

aphug is considered to be one of the easiest

[viral pebble]

You mean apush? I thought it’s hard

[vital olive]

no, aphug

ap human geo

which is what you said

[green iris]

i bet it's horrible

[proven totem]

yes in 1st grade

[viral pebble]

No actually my guy

Thank you 🙏

[steady shore]

do u think i need to prepare over the summer for comp sci principles

[proven totem]

No

[solar vault]

my school doesn't offer ap comp science principles so instead should i self study comp science a freshman year?

[sharp locust]

I’m a freshman going on sophomore and have a goal school which is an ivy (Harvard, yes I know its hard and slightly everyones dream school but this has been a long time dream.) and I need advice on what classes to take. My career I want to end up with is probably a neurosurgeon or anesthesiologist, and I also have big dreams of possibly getting valedictorian (my grandparent and aunt both have gotten this achievement) I just am unsure what classes would work best and any advice would be appreciated.

[proven totem]

[neon orchid]

Extracurriculares

[pearl mesa]

Get involved in some clubs, take a rigorous schedule. Start to find some study and homework habits right for you

[keen burrow]

ok so I’m a sophomore going on junior- and i honestly don’t have many extracurricular or sports or anything like that. my gpa is decent- it’s always been a 4.0 up until this year, where it slipped a bit and became a 3.8 weighted. I want to go to a uc, maybe ucla, and I know it’s extremely competitive. what can I do to increase my chances of getting in considering my situation? im taking 5 aps next year too and I just don’t know if what im doing is enough bc of a lack of extracurriculars

basically what classes do I need to stand out or what should I take to relate to this channel

[vital olive]

whats your unweighted

[stiff fjord]

Hi! I’m a soon-to-be freshman and I was wondering if I have good course selections for next year. I took Geometry a and b in 8th grade so for next year I opted for algebra 2 honors and AP Precalc.(my other option is Algebra 2 on level or honors) I really love math so I think it would workout but I’m still a little doubtful. Next I am taking Biology honors and AP government based on teacher recommendations.(my other options are on level biology and American government) I am also taking French 2 honors but it’s online because my school only offers languages online.(my other option if French 2 on-level) I am also taking 9th literature online right now over the summer so I can take AP seminar next year.(my other option is 10 literature) For my electives, my school has this thing called GT block(Georgia Tech block) it is 2 periods where I would have to take intro to healthcare, engineering, and IT. (I’m going to a magnet school) I also made a blog with my friend right now that will progress through all of next year(link for it if you want to check it out- themindsjourney.weebly.com) My goal is to go to Cornell University. I’m not sure if I’m taking on too much so I want advice from experienced people:) thank you!!

[austere tulip]

That sounds like a great start to high school!

You’re especially already ahead in some ways

[stiff fjord]

But I’m worried about my GPA because I’m sure it tanked from algebra 1

I did terrible in that

[austere tulip]

You are probably taking on too much but if it’s a magnet school you’ll probably handle it!

[austere tulip]

Wait so your middle school grades count towards us?

Hs*

Colleges probably won’t care about what your 7th grade math grade was

[stiff fjord]

No it’s because I took hs algebra 1 h and geometry h

[austere tulip]

And that counted towards your gpa?

Because I took hs geometry h in 8th

And they said they won’t give me credit

Or count it towards gpa

[stiff fjord]

It counts for my school system

[austere tulip]

I can only start getting credit and gpa after becoming a freshman

[austere tulip]

Oof

What was your grade

I’m alg i

[stiff fjord]

I got like a 88

[austere tulip]

Ok yeah that’s not too bad

You’re especially talking 7th grade

[stiff fjord]

But I did get a 95 on geometry

But I’m pretty sure that effected my GPA a lot

[austere tulip]

If you can explain that your gpa is weirdly low because of a 7th grade math class frankly colleges won’t care because they really only care about high school

[austere tulip]

Nope

You’re taking a lot of classes already

So As in all of them

Makes that one B a very small difference

[stiff fjord]

I hope so

[austere tulip]

You’ll probably end this year with a 3.9

Which is pretty close to a 4.0

And if you continue getting As throughout high school

Probably like a 3.96

Even more

[stiff fjord]

But I had other hs grades to which I got 92-100’s in

[austere tulip]

Yeah that’s why I think it makes a very small difference

[stiff fjord]

I’m not sure how they effect my GPA cuz I’m not so familiar with that system

[austere tulip]

How many hs classes have you done

[stiff fjord]

5

[smoky cosmos]

My gpa only 3.55 🥲

[stiff fjord]

That’s pretty good

[austere tulip]

Right now your gpa is about 3.8

Devi

And after next year how many classes will you have taken

I’m assuming 9

[stiff fjord]

Uh

[smoky cosmos]

I don’t think it’s good enough thoigh 😭

[austere tulip]

8

7??

I’ll do 8

[stiff fjord]

13

[austere tulip]

If you get all As after freshman year

Your gpa will already be 3,92

And I calculated for the rest of high school

All As throughout the rest of high school will mean a 3.98

Unweighted

So yeah that virtually makes no difference from a. 4.0

Colleges will not kill you for that one B in 7th grade

and I assumed hat you won’t take anything over the summer

If you do probably 3.99

[vital olive]

is your name from never have i ever by any chance

[keen burrow]

As of this year 3.75

But all of high school idk

[untold shard]

It counts cause it is high school level

[untold shard]

Who cares? So many endeavors in life to be so many people. You are you, you are unique, just don't commit a war crime in life and you should be somewhat ok

I know I can't talk my pfp is soundwave

Mf annihilated everything

[mint thorn]

Honestly 4.0s are waaay too common nowadays cause so many schools inflate grades like there is no tomorrow

Like my school doesn’t do that so it is HARD to get an A in really any class

[gloomy lotus]

For what?

T20s? Yeah, it is pretty low

but for the vast amount of colleges in the USA, you still have a decent shot with a 3.55

don't focus on just the T20s. It never hurts to apply, but keep your mind open

there's a reason there's 4000+ colleges in the USA all offering great education

[ripe onyx]

@smoky cosmos u from ohio too?

Also thoughts on taking Physics 1 or Physics C? idk which one to do

thinking of going into pre-med, and physics 1 is used in undergrad, but it’s way easier to get a 5 in physics C, but again the physics 1 class itself is easier at my school

but it’s impossible to get a 5, most u get is 4

for 1

[buoyant lava]

Wait you’re in Ohio as well?

[ripe onyx]

yeah lmao

what school do you go to if ur fine sharing?

[buoyant lava]

[stiff fjord]

lmao💀 we have the same name

[fair valve]

LMAOOO

[ripe onyx]

[spiral linden]

phy 1 is way easier

the only reason phy c has more 5s is because those people already have experience in physics

[west estuary]

Average IA freshman

[keen condor]

Quick question: do you live in Georgia, USA?

[ripe onyx]

Also, is 3 years of foreign language enough for T20s? or do i have to take 4

[proven totem]

4 is recommended

tbh i would take 4 because the 4th one is usually the AP one and getting a good grade on it shows that ur good in that language

[ripe onyx]

huh no

there’s four levels then AP

[proven totem]

Spanish 4 at my school is AP Spanish

same for french 4

[ripe onyx]

k

do i have to take it junior or does taking it senior still count as 4 years of language for colleges

[proven totem]

why would it not

[ripe onyx]

idk

boutta drop AP Lunch for it

[proven totem]

lmao ok

[ripe onyx]

does ur school weight honors classes 4.5?

[proven totem]

yea

[ripe onyx]

bro my goofy school doesn’t

idek why

[proven totem]

colleges convert ur grades to their own gpa scale

[ripe onyx]

yeah ok

what grade u in

[proven totem]

why do u care

see my roles

[ripe onyx]

dang 3rd grade

ur crazy

[proven totem]

💀 what

[thorn night]

Bro is a freshman

Where did u get third grade from?

[ripe onyx]

i’m just joking

[stiff fjord]

BAHAHAH STOP

HOWD YOU KNOW

[stiff fjord]

Yes😭

[west estuary]

im a sophomore there

you said gt block

and ap sem

so i assumed

[stiff fjord]

💀

[west estuary]

you should join the school server if you have specific questions about gt block

[stiff fjord]

Wait did you take AP seminar?

[west estuary]

Yes

[stiff fjord]

Is it easy?

And how much time do you spend on hw

[west estuary]

It depends

[stiff fjord]

Cuz I’m debating if I should take it

[west estuary]

some teachers provide less work

some teacher give more

the first sem is the summer work and lotf

and getting introduced to the ap exam

second semester is the actual ap exam

the class itself is pretty easy

as long as you manage your time well

most people got a 4 on the exam

a few people got a 5

[west estuary]

homework was around 5 -7 hours

[carmine lily]

Could you explain the gpa like system. is an A 95+ avg for each class or 90+

[bright skiff]

I wish my school offered that 😭
I love world history too

I’m doing apush too and ap lang, those are the only I can take sadly because I’m in advanced Spanish

[keen condor]

Wait, which school??? Cause I live there too

[austere tulip]

A is a 90 average in some schools while it’s a 95 average for others

Usually colleges are fine with an A being a 90 average

That’s what many of them have

Others have 90 as an A- average but it shouldn’t be too much

[ripe onyx]

which ones

what grade

Im doing

AP Calc AB, AP Physics 1, AP Macroeconomics, AP Micro economics, AP Lang, AP Psych

[bright skiff]

Only 1 last year and 2 this year, yeah, in my senior year I will have a couple more but my school doesn’t offer many and I can’t take AP stats and span 4 at once (new decision from this year) 😭

[ripe onyx]

already took regular calculus (non-ap), so i don’t know if im gonna stick with AB, might do stats instead

yep

idk BC is super hard at my school and it’s not useful for premed, i don’t want to unnecessarily stress myself

[bright skiff]

I have a free next year, should I try to take a senior class and if so which?

[ripe onyx]

ye

lmao same

i like me econ teacher

my

💀💀

well that’s one reason to take the class ig lol

yeah

also what did u take sophomore

i only took ap bio sophomore tbh i should have taken apush too

nice

lol

The class wasn’t bad but the exam was pretty hard, got a 4 def wished for a 5

had a low-mid A in the class

FRQs got me ngl

it’s not too bad ngl

def prepare early though and know your stuff fs

[smoky cosmos]

Idk like college or soemthing. I think my gpa could be a lot better, but to get int OSU and Penn state idk if it’s good enough

[smoky cosmos]

Yes yes

[bright skiff]

Please help 🙏

I’m sure you will be fine, just explain that it was in 7th grade, that will be so long ago when you apply

[austere tulip]

Well I calculated it

It matters on how many classes u had

Then that probably means those were all A-

Or that you got a really bad grade in a high school class you took in middle school

92 or below

[warped jewel]

I sent that message so long ago

💀

[proven totem]

what

[untold shard]

How hard is AP chem compared to AP bio?

[smoky cosmos]

Equally I think

[silk ginkgo]

AP bio harder

Apparently a lot more information to memorize in bio (which is painful) and chem has more application, so if you understand it it’s not that bad

[strange sigil]

Yeah, but wouldn't you rather just memorize like in AP Bio, than memorize+apply in AP Chem???

[silk ginkgo]

Honestly tho AP chem was more engaging

In my opinion

And it had way less to memorize

But if you take AP chem then bio my friends told me the order works out pretty well as chem can fill in some gaps

I wouldn’t know tho

Cause I never did that

[strange sigil]

Mmhhh....fair argument. I agree coz I also haven't taken either but I plan to do so.

[silk ginkgo]

Yea just go with whatever you’re more inclined towards

Have you taken honors bio or chem?

[strange sigil]

Oh def! I just finished Honors Bio and got an average of 101, which was surreal coz I just did all the extra credit.😎

[silk ginkgo]

Well it looks like you are motivated for bio already so arguably bio would probably be safer pick for you

[strange sigil]

Yeah, but as a Bio major, I still have have to take Chem, so I still want to take AP Chem as well

[silk ginkgo]

Ah

If you want to do bio major and you have any accelerated learning programs after AP bio (like dual enrollment) do that route because it is probably better at showing your level of interest to colleges and plus you can take AP chem without having to worry much about your grades (cause from what I’ve heard grades in college are more chill)

And if you can’t do that then do the AP Chem then AP bio route

But the first way is better because you can do bio all the way through and still get the same amount of college credit with little worry about chem

[strange sigil]

👍

Thx a lot

[silk ginkgo]

Np!

[limpid tree]

I am currently taking Spanish 2 in my freshman year. Our school requires 2 LOTE credits to graduate. I am not sure what to do since I don't want to waste time learning Spanish

Can someone help?

[neon orchid]

Learning a new language isn’t wasting time. I would take Spanish 2 unless there is another language offered that you would genuinely feel more passionate about

[limpid tree]

I'm taking Spanish 2 for my freshman

That would count as 1 LOTE credit

[untold shard]

I finished honors bio. But the thing is I have to chem my junior year to take AP bio or AP chem my Senior. So I'm doing chem as a college course over the summer to try to bypass that because frankly I have some classes I'm putting off to senior year cause I can't do it junior year like AP psyc, and apes, and idk some stuff I like and if I have to put them off also I won't get to take what I want.

[bright skiff]

Since you only need two, you will be done after your sophomore year (early). Personally my school requires three language credits (with exceptions) and though I finished Spanish 3 (the LOTE/WLE was good btw), I only have two years so I’m taking Spanish 4. After that I’ll take AP Spanish bcuz a lot of top schools want 4 years of s foreign language. Plus Spanish is pretty easy, I would suggest doing a little bit of Duolingo and actually trying because I skipped a year and did way better than people who didn’t care. and I assume we are in the same school system if you take the LOTE (now WLE), but maybe other places do that too

[limpid tree]

we have 5 levels of spanish

so basically in my freshman year

Id be taking Spanish 2, Which counts aa 1 LOTE credit, for sophmore year, I have to take Spanish 3, for juniour, I have to take spanish 4, and senior, spanish 5

[strange sigil]

You have to ask yourself, will I be advancing with Spanish in the future? And is there specific credit you have to complete in foreign language.

[outer folio]

My school is asking me if I want to take ap bio freshman year

Normally I would take physics and I'm more interested in physics tbh

[limpid tree]

Im wondering if It will help me get into an ivy league

Ik I sound dumb but still

I like spanish but im trying to take more AP's/ core classes

[strange sigil]

Is there like Honors Spanish

[limpid tree]

we do have AP spanish

[strange sigil]

Well if you had honors it would be easier to take honors and then leap to AP, but I'm not so supportive if moving from standard to AP. You might want to advance your Spanish elsewhere, like outside if sch or dual enrollment, so that you're advanced enough to take AP Spanish senior year. Just make sure it's not Standard Spanish all 4 yrs

[limpid tree]

We have Advanced spanish classes

do you think that would help?

[strange sigil]

Yeah, I assume Honors and advanced are pretty much the same. That's what I meant by Honors. Def take it. Though if you have a little prior knowledge

[limpid tree]

alright

I have knowledge of spanish in the past

since in middle school I took spanish 1A and 1B

Ngl I just use deepl translator

should I self study or nah

[strange sigil]

Like in my case, I'm taking Spanish 1, then Spanish 2, Dual enrollment Spanish 2 and then Honors. Just make sure it's not all standard. Plus I'm also already learning some in Duolingo B4 sch starts

[strange sigil]

I don't want to say anything but I would rather be careful bit to get a overload. But if you think you can handle it go for the advanced. Wait are you a freshman? If you're one, you may want to know more about advanced courses and all, you don't want to get stuck in the middle

[limpid tree]

yeah Im an incoming freshman

Im taking spanish 2

but If I self study all of it, I can take advanced

[strange sigil]

Just make sure you go slow on yourself 😁 good luck!

https://blog.testrocker.com/wwwtestrockercom/blog/spanishtips-languagebird

[untold shard]

[limpid tree]

ohh dang

That helps alot now

thanks for the motivation

[bright skiff]

Of course! I also wanted to maybe take another subject in my later years but I decided it would be best to value Spanish equally to others but everyone’s school and college app journey is different

[silk ginkgo]

How closely do you think that rule is enforced? Cause I didn’t do that but everything else about my application is pretty good

[outer folio]

Should I take ap bio or physics freshman year

Much more interested in physics

[silk ginkgo]

AP physics

[ripe onyx]

[strange sigil]

....

[smoky cosmos]

Freshman year 😳😳😳

[outer folio]

No just regents physics

Not ap

Only ap bio

So regents physics or ap bio

[proven totem]

Take both if u can

Remove classes like PE if possible and take them over the summer (if u have any)

[outer folio]

Ok

Cause if I take ap bio instead of physics I can't take physics until junior year

And I want to take more advanced classes

[silk ginkgo]

Take physics still, I know bio you can take anytime (at least it was that way for me) but for physics you kinda have to climb the ladder to get to places like AP physics c and it’s best to do physics classes consecutively

[bright skiff]

what are the best aps to self study for a junior? and how could I try to take more advanced classes?

[proven totem]

ap psych

[vapid moon]

y do u wanna self study?

[proven totem]

self study their prereqs for ex if your school requires you to take chemistry before ap chemistry then self study regular chem

[proven totem]

their school doesnt offer many aps i think

[bright skiff]

my school doesn’t offer many

[vapid moon]

then thats fine, the colleges know that

[proven totem]

taking aps isnt just about college aps its about learning as well

for example if you wana participate in USAPHO but your school doesnt offer AP physics 1 or C

[vapid moon]

then learn at ur discresstion or cc

[proven totem]

not everyone has access to a cc borger

[vapid moon]

he never said he doesnt

[bright skiff]

sadly we don’t offer ap chem and I have to take chem anyways next year, maybe I’ll do that with physics or calc though

[bright skiff]

I can’t do dual enrollment with a cc

[proven totem]

that was just an example

[vapid moon]

just find a way to increase course rigor

[bright skiff]

yeah, I get that, thank you

[vapid moon]

thats fine, u can still do cc

[bright skiff]

ok, thank you to both of you

[vapid moon]

not necessarily de but u can still do cc

[bright skiff]

wait how?

[vapid moon]

talk to ur councler + college councler

but basically u fill out paperwork and enroll

[bright skiff]

ok 👍

do u already know algebra

cuz if you do you can test out of it (if ur district allows)

[wintry pollen]

In Canada we did pre algebra and like some

I'm not sure how much ik tho

[proven totem]

just search up algebra 1 test and if u get a 80 or more try to test out of it

[wintry pollen]

But I'm not advanced

Ok

Apparently you can take AP human geography

[proven totem]

take it if you can handle it

[wintry pollen]

Ok

I don't think I should take honors English tho

[proven totem]

were you good at english in canada?

like reading and stuff

[wintry pollen]

I was like 89 when I was really trying

So not really

[proven totem]

tbh i would risk it

but its upto you

do some research about how hard honors English in 9th grade is

[wintry pollen]

Wait what percentage is a4.0 in us

[proven totem]

A

93-100 typically

[wintry pollen]

Ok

[austere tulip]

Id say 90-100

[wintry pollen]

So GPA is like all 4 years of high school

Or just a semester

Also what would be the easiest art course

Cuz I really suck at art

And drama

And I don't want it to ruin my gpa

[steady shore]

i think they have HS art 1

in my school at least all the art courses need pre reqs— like after Art 1 u take a more specialized art course then u can take AP studio

for my HS art 1 class it was graded mostly on effort — like even if you weren’t great if you tried it was good

[proven totem]

Why are you taking it then?

[smoky cosmos]

Probably required

Ik an art credit is required for my school

[proven totem]

just take ap art history

[viral pebble]

My AP plan for what classes to take and when

9 grade
Classes: none (my school doesn’t let me take AP classes I’m 9th grade)
Self study: Human Geo, Psych

10 grade
Classes: Music theory (this is the only AP class I can take as a sophomore)
Self study: Ap environmental science

11 grade
Classes: English Lang, stats, bio, APUSH
Self study: Gov & politics

12 grade
Classes: Calc AB, Comparative gov, chem, Spanish language & culture
Self study: none

Total exams & classes:
Classes: 9
Exams (including classes): 13

[viral pebble]

I need feedback on this pls

[neon orchid]

Music theory is hard especially if you don’t have prior knowledge, but that’s an actual course for you. AP Gov is hard to self study.
Don’t overwhelm yourself, pay more attention to courses than self study. ECs, good writing and personality, and unweighted grades will matter more than amount of APs (still take them, just don’t overwhelm yourself)
Also, how many AP classes does your school offer?

[smoky cosmos]

I took AP music theory and got a 3

[proven totem]

Why are you trying to self study so many APS?

Nvm

[smoky cosmos]

I’ve had prior music knowledge too via band and stuff. Def a hard class but manageable and easy to learn in u have prior music knowledge

[vapid moon]

y u self studying for a lot of aps?

[wintry pollen]

Idk if this helps but some schools have ib programs. If you do it it gets international recognition

If your school dont have many AP course maybe you can apply

But it's

Rigorous

[bright skiff]

Just a reminder that you don’t have to take a crazy amount of APs to go to a good college, especially if your school doesn’t offer many, and it’s better to value your mental health and also make sure you keep up grades and ECs than to self study too many or take a ton

[formal dragon]

maybe start volunteering at the local clinic/shelter/food bank or reach out to a school to see if you can tutor kids there for volunteer hours

[formal dragon]

mental health first 🙏

[proven totem]

im taking 23 aps anyone wants to see my 4 year plan

[compact dagger]

@strange sigil Your message(s) have been flagged as spam and have been removed.

alright

thanks

[proven totem]

[vapid moon]

ohh, r u ao?

[left coral]

bro how tf r u guys planning to do 20

im probs gonna do like 14-15

[proven totem]

lmao

[left coral]

im ngl those articles neverhave good advice

[vapid moon]

the aps u take only is determined by ur major req + whats offered

its that simple

[proven totem]

like borger

so sad borger ain’t here

[left coral]

fr 😔

[proven totem]

how do u think borger looked like irl

[vapid moon]

can u like stop obsessing about him? its kinda annoing ngl. if u like him just tell him, no one here needs to know that u like him

[left coral]

bro

[proven totem]

bro he was a regular

[left coral]

u dont have to keep up the act we all know it's you 💀

[proven totem]

it’s not easy to forget him

[left coral]

the only differece between u and borger is that you speak lowercase

[proven totem]

he left a lasting impact on these holy channels

[proven totem]

lmaoooo

u have to take two aps

AP seminar and research

idk

[vapid moon]

kinda useless tbh

[proven totem]

why

I wanna be a professional capstoner

[vapid moon]

what purpose does ap seminar + research serve other then gpa?

[proven totem]

research?

it’s so funnn

[vapid moon]

thats it?

[left coral]

i hate research

[vapid moon]

what purpsoe does that serve?

[proven totem]

U learn about new stuff

[vapid moon]

u dont get college credit, u dont get elective credit, u get no credit

[left coral]

idk

iwould ask elipsis

hes in ib

[proven totem]

just ask borger

ellipsis is a busy man

unlike borger who earns his community service hours from this server 🥹

[cinder gorge]

AP Capstone vs IB

[proven totem]

IB

[cinder gorge]

IB seems miserable

i have a sibling who did IB and it was so stressful that they just quit

and this was with no ECs or anything

[proven totem]

maybe ur sibling overestimated their capabilities

not everyone can handle ib

[cinder gorge]

fr

[ripe onyx]

Is AP Lang hard?

geez

u don’t need to take that many

[ripe onyx]

going into junior year, debating whether to take lang or seminar

[bright skiff]

Im not sure which is better but I’m taking AP Lang as a junior

And I think it will help your writing skills for college essays

[ripe onyx]

that’s what i’m thinking yeah

just hope it’s not too much homework and all

[bright skiff]

I agree, but I also know that the teacher at my school for AP Lang is good so it’s different for everyone

[ripe onyx]

true

we just got a new teacher so i’m a bit iffy but she seems decent

are advanced classes like honors classes?

i see

weighted on a 5.0 scale?

i see

interesting but i think i got it

[proven totem]

ur school messed up

[ripe onyx]

oh dang

i saw people graduating with like 8.1 gpa or something

[proven totem]

lmao

[ripe onyx]

“High school valedictorian graduates with 8.07 GPA”

bro 💀

ye

WAIT WHAT

Dylan Mazard, a senior at Gaither High School, has an 11.84 grade point average.

nah

florida is crazy

Mazard said he started working on his high school credits when he was in middle school and takes as many as 14 classes per semester.

and bro got into MIT

[proven totem]

that’s so unfair

[haughty schooner]

How is his brain in tact

[smoky cosmos]

How does bro have an 11.84 gpa

Can someone look in “college app help” chat for me please ❤️

[proven totem]

what

that’s cap

there aren’t even that many aps did he make his own

f*ck this shit

nah

nerd

[smoky cosmos]

I got a 3.5 🥲

[proven totem]

don’t worry u still got a life

me with a 0.0

🥹

wait I’m not in HS does that mean I have a 4.0 or 0.0

ok

[haughty schooner]

L

[proven totem]

he’s wrong

[haughty schooner]

I got a 3.92 as a freshman

[proven totem]

L

[haughty schooner]

I had that coming

It was worth it

Hey I get my schedule on the 7th

That’s cool

[tidal widget]

Hi is AICE the same as AP?

[pearl mesa]

I’ve heard that AP is slightly more or furious rigorous AICE but basically the same thing

[tidal widget]

Okay, thank you

[sand ridge]

Would getting into junior band as a freshman look good on college applications?

[smoky cosmos]

I’m not familiar with junior band? As a band member myself

[proven totem]

How to self study AP physics 1

[smoky cosmos]

Is junior band like related to marching band? Or is it like concert or symphonic band?

[sand ridge]

So there are three bands: concert band (freshman), symphonic band (sophomore), and wind ensemble (junior)

[smoky cosmos]

Oh got it

Yeah our highest band was symphonic, and that was just the top

I was sumphonic band all 4 years

I think that’s pretty impressive depending on how competitive it is, also more importantly if u are in it for 4 years

[sand ridge]

Thank you

Will that look good on college apps?

[smoky cosmos]

Yeah, but I don’t think being a freshman in top band is like thatttt excellent, but being 4 years would look great

[sand ridge]

Alright

Thank you for the help

[proven totem]

nvm

[smoky cosmos]

Sorry @proven totem Ik nothing about self studying 💀

[proven totem]

i found a good course from Rice

[limpid tree]

Do yall recommend taking AP physics 1 for 9th grade or Advanced Chemistry

[ancient bison]

@proven totem could you send the course from Rice or the link to reach it?

@limpid tree if you’re in the US, it’s mandatory to take advanced/normal bio in 9th

[gloomy lotus]

Khan academy

Has a nice course

[ancient bison]

Then after that, it’s adv/normal chem for 10th, and then from there it’s whatever you want

[viral pebble]

20

[viral pebble]

Yeah my school doesn’t offer the ones that I want to take into junior year and senior year. For example, my school only allows juniors to take Ap lang and only seniors to take Ap lit

That would be too many for me.

Also I could take psych and human geo as electives I guess but I want to self study them in advance since they are easy which lets me do harder aps in high school.

My school doesn’t offer gov so I want to take comparative gov as a class

[viral pebble]

Wait AP gov is hard!? It’s like one of the easiest aps

[austere tulip]

Yeah tell me too

[limpid tree]

Yeah

Oh shoot sorry

I meant 10th grade

[proven totem]

Just search up rice Edx

[green iris]

take ap chem if you can in 10th grade that's what i'm taking

[limpid tree]

I dont have Ap chemistry, Only advanced

idk why 💀

[green iris]

just know it's gonna be a bit difficult if you have no prior knowledge of chemistry

[green iris]

oh then do advanced

[limpid tree]

alright

[green iris]

if you pass it's boost ur gpa

[limpid tree]

bet

thanks

[green iris]

[cinder gorge]

how hard is AP Music Theory for somebody who’s already a pretty experienced musician?

[neon orchid]

It’s one of the easiest history APs, and it’s not that bad if it’s in a class. I’ve just heard it’s hard to self study. Especially since you’ll be studying for SAT that year

[neon orchid]

Okay. The amount you want to take seems reasonable. I would just suggest to not self study if it gets overwhelming. But your schedule makes sense. Create changes when you’re older and have a better idea of what you’ll excel in. Good luck

[green iris]

if you're an experienced musician who just plays for fun, then you might not know much about music theory. i have a teach who teaches me the basics of music theory and that's all i really need, but if you really want to go in depth then ap music theory should be good, just know that if you have absolutely no experience on music theory, you might wann research some before taking it

[cinder gorge]

i have a pretty in depth knowledge so alright i might

[viral pebble]

I’m not studying for the sat that year

So would it still be a good idea?

[cinder gorge]

Can someone tell me how can I choose a career option between environmental science and physics?

[vapid moon]

thats just a thing they say, just develop a connection with the counclers and u should be able to get some le way

[neon orchid]

Yeah probably. My advice about switching things up as you get older and understand your strengths better still applies. But that makes more sense

[oblique ocean]

I wanna be an air hostess and I can be an air hostess by taking any steam. I find maths and physics difficult. I like chemistry English and sst not so much but I can do it

Which stream should I choose?

[proven totem]

what

steam?

[gloomy lotus]

STEM with Art as the A

[proven totem]

cap

that aint a thing

[gloomy lotus]

yeah idk why its used so often

art is not really correlated to stem

🤷‍♂️

[proven totem]

art > stem

[haughty schooner]

Yes

[sharp basalt]

Which science should I take if I want to be a lawyer between ap chem, bio or physics 1?

[proven totem]

doesnt matter

just take whatever u want

[supple eagle]

guys which yale major should be done for quant (can pick two):

• CS
• CS and Math
• CS and Econ
• Math
• Econ
• Statistics and Data Science

the ones that are "and" are single majors with two topics

[vapid moon]

mabey something that is less competivive for yale

[supple eagle]

why?

[vapid moon]

cuz lets say for bio, bio is literally the most chosen major for the majority of schools. this is y people choose chem, health sci, neurosci, etc

[supple eagle]

ok but why does that matter...

[vapid moon]

mabey CS is the most popular major, so the majority of the people who apply as CS major. which means ur compeititing aganist more people

[supple eagle]

yale doesn't admit by major...

[proven totem]

ok?

[vapid moon]

they say that but in reality, they most likely do

[supple eagle]

no they don't

[proven totem]

no they dont

[supple eagle]

you don't declare your major until the end of sophomore year

most people change their decision

it really wouldn't be a reliable metric

[proven totem]

just do what u like all look good

[vapid moon]

well ik for some schools like UCs, they say they dont admit by major but they kinda do

[supple eagle]

so maybe CS & Econ + Math?

[proven totem]

if u like it yes

[supple eagle]

that's my top choice rn

yeah I like math

[proven totem]

same

[supple eagle]

and yale has a dual-bachelors and masters program so if I take math as a major I can take a few extra classes and get a masters in the 4 years

[proven totem]

lmao

[supple eagle]

and math is probably the most useful masters right?

out of the 3

[proven totem]

idk

[vapid moon]

bro, just worry about hs rn

grad school is far from now

[supple eagle]

I would not go to grad school if it took more time 💀

it would be just a bonus for me

[vapid moon]

and ive talked to a few CS friends and they say that getting a masters is kinda useless. they say that spending extra $$ on education is not worth it. Experience > education

[supple eagle]

yeah that's what I hear too

the only reason I'd do the yale masters is because it would not cost any more

[vapid moon]

but how competitive is it?

[supple eagle]

not at all. Meet the requirements and do it

yale doesn't limit how many people do it

[vapid moon]

huh

intresting

[supple eagle]

hell if you get the required credits you can graduate yale in 3.5, or even 3 years, pay less tuition, and they won't give a shit

that's the beauty of HYPSM

it's just very hard to do so

[proven totem]

just graduate in 2 years with masters and bachelors then

[supple eagle]

very very hard

[proven totem]

why

[supple eagle]

nah man why go do college at all I might as well start gettig the credits now /s

[vapid moon]

if only it was that ez

[proven totem]

ok

[supple eagle]

idk if it were easy then everyone would be doing it

[vapid moon]

people alr struggle taking 3 units per semester, only doubling that will make it very unlikely that ull get the results u want

[supple eagle]

not like 2-5% of the graduating class

[proven totem]

ok

[vapid moon]

(i have friends at yale)

[proven totem]

no bragging

[vapid moon]

im just saying, so yk where im getting the info from

[supple eagle]

I live a couple miles from yale 💀

I live in a neighboring town lmao

[vapid moon]

cooool

[supple eagle]

my parents also did grad school at yale

[proven totem]

wtf

[vapid moon]

very nice

[proven totem]

my dad did it from harvard

[supple eagle]

wdym wtf I'm not capping

[proven totem]

bet

[supple eagle]

bro I'm not gonna share my location 💀

[proven totem]

so u gonna stay at ur parents home

and save the dorm money

[supple eagle]

at yale you have to stay in their housing for the first 2 years

[proven totem]

damn

[supple eagle]

but afterward maybe idk

first I have to get into yale

[vapid moon]

yale got good food tho

[proven totem]

legacy

[supple eagle]

legacy doesn't count if it's grad school tho right?

[proven totem]

idk

[supple eagle]

they didn't go for undergrad

only grad

[vapid moon]

what major?

[supple eagle]

because their masters degrees from poland didn't mean shit in the US

[supple eagle]

mom did music, dad did CS

and this was like late 90s when CS was niche

[vapid moon]

music? like preformance?

[supple eagle]

yes

[vapid moon]

damn

[proven totem]

Legacy = your mom or dad attended Yale as an undergraduate. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, step-grandparents attending the college does not count as a legacy, nor does it count having anyone, including your mom or dad, attend any of Yale's graduate schools.

Where you wanna go to college

[copper coral]

And is there a way to-

[copper coral]

Ivy

[haughty schooner]

Ok then that’s a good amount

[copper coral]

Ty

[vapid moon]

that is determined by ur hs profile and what aps count for what pre reqs by ur college

[copper coral]

And is there a way to like take some of these classes in another time or make some space?

[vapid moon]

ur advice is inapplicable

[vapid moon]

cc

[copper coral]

cc?

[vapid moon]

Community college

[copper coral]

💀

[haughty schooner]

Each one of those classes are related in the medical field in someway

[copper coral]

Uh, what?

[copper coral]

🥲

[haughty schooner]

I’m just saying

[vapid moon]

so? unless u have something good to say, i suggest u enjoy ur freshman yr

[haughty schooner]

I’m a rising sophomore

[copper coral]

🫥

[haughty schooner]

Am I stupid, did I do a stupid again?

[vapid moon]

u can enroll at ur local cc and get college credit so that u dont have to take the aps

and u get to pick ur own schedule for cc

[copper coral]

And how am I hearing abt this now?

[vapid moon]

because its not talked about a lot

[copper coral]

Ofc.

[copper coral]

Is this during my school?

[vapid moon]

consider reaching out to ur local cc

[copper coral]

Like during school hours

[copper coral]

And I can do it as early as 9th grade?

[vapid moon]

yes but theres night class like from 6pm-8pm

u get to make ur own schedule

[vapid moon]

yes

[copper coral]

Wow

[vapid moon]

some people do it at age 12

[copper coral]

Wow

[copper coral]

WOW

[copper coral]

And, if u don’t mind me asking, how does that work?

[vapid moon]

talk to ur local cc councler, they have more info then i have. but basically u find a class u wanna take and enroll in the class

its not hard

[copper coral]

OK!

[vapid moon]

feel free to dm me with any questions

[copper coral]

And is any class offered there

[vapid moon]

Literally every class that ap counts for and beyond

[copper coral]

I think I get it get

[copper coral]

O h. One last thing. Will I get an AP credit if I do it?

In a cc

[vapid moon]

ap counts for college credit. taking classes at cc will count for college credit if u pass with a C or better

[copper coral]

I see. And ofc if i do it at a cc, i will take the AP exam lemme guess.

[vapid moon]

no

theres no ap test

[copper coral]

?!

Why?!

[vapid moon]

if u pass the class with a C or better u get college credit

its that simple

[copper coral]

. . . Is there lit any catch with this?

[vapid moon]

i did the equalivant of ap stats in 20 days (at my cc) and i got a 96% which means i dont need to take any test or take the year long class while i still got college credit

[vapid moon]

they might ask u to pay for the class but personally, i didnt need to pay for anything

[copper coral]

Wow, this is underrated

[ripe onyx]

yeah if u ever have too many aps during the year, CCs are a great way to get credit

and the classes are not too hard

[copper coral]

W o w

W o w

[vapid moon]

stop lying

they can be hard. it all depends on the prof

for me, i had to do classes where all there was, was 5 tests and after that, thats it

[ripe onyx]

true, just go to ratemyprofessor and find a good one

[vapid moon]

it just means u gotta study harder

[vapid moon]

not all prof is there

[ripe onyx]

but, i wouldn’t do too many CC classes if you are going for Ivy

[vapid moon]

stop lying

[ripe onyx]

i’m not lying, often times they don’t accept the credit

[vapid moon]

u better stop posting this or else i aint helping u anymore

[copper coral]

Is this way better?

[copper coral]

No actually, I fixed it

[ripe onyx]

check if the schools you apply to take the CC credit

[copper coral]

Is 2 CC good?

For Ivy?

[vapid moon]

hs counclers fill out a school profile and ur cc classes uve done during hs can count for the rigor in hs. everything aint about being transfed. also, if u do more classes, there is no consequence if u get more knoledge. ull only make it easier during uni since u alr know most of the stuff

[vapid moon]

2 cc classes per what

[copper coral]

I am taking AP Chem and Stats for CC in hs. Is that good?

[vapid moon]

u cant take ap classes at cc lol. u can only take the equalivance of it

[copper coral]

@ripe onyx said do not take a lot

[copper coral]

O h, yeah that is what i meant

Wait, CC classes have 5.0 GPAs right?

Just wondering.

[ripe onyx]

True

[vapid moon]

and if ur just gonna do that then just do pre-req to gen chem fall semester and gen chem during spring semester and drop chem in 10th grade

[ripe onyx]

yeah

[vapid moon]

4.0

[ripe onyx]

most do

wait what

[vapid moon]

STFU and stop giving shitty advice

[ripe onyx]

mine are 5?

[copper coral]

💀

That escalated quickly

[ripe onyx]

gawd dang bro

yk what whatever

[vapid moon]

i would suggest talking to ur local cc

[ripe onyx]

for me its 5.0 but it looks like it can be different, anyways imma head out

[copper coral]

K

[ripe onyx]

yeah

[copper coral]

Wait, then what is the point of taking Chem at a cc for 11th grade if i did chem in 10th grade in hs

I wanted to do AP Chem and Chem

Would it still be a diff

[vapid moon]

regular chem is pre req for ap chem at hs

[copper coral]

correct

[vapid moon]

and regular chem at hs most likely counts for pre-req for gen chem at cc

and ap chem counts most likely counts as gen chem at cc

[copper coral]

I see

OK, this is sinking in

[vapid moon]

imo, its better to just drop chem 10th grade (replace it with something else) and do pre-req to gen chem fall semester and gen chem during spring semester at cc

[formal dragon]

hey! my irl had a question abt whether or not they should take ap chem the following year, as a junior. They haven’t taken gen chem and they’re worried the workload will be too much since they’re also taking 3 other aps. Would it be better for them to focus on ecs instead of rigorous classes?

[vapid moon]

consider a different ap. unless they have prior ap chem knowledge, i would suggest aganist it

ap chem is considered the hardest ap classes

[ripe onyx]

@vapid moon do ivies take aps more seriously than CC?

[copper coral]

what pre req would i do

[vapid moon]

wdym

[copper coral]

i would ask the same thing

[vapid moon]

wdym. whateever is necessary to do ur major related classes

[ripe onyx]

that was my thought

that’s all

[ripe onyx]

does it look better to have the APs compared to CC

[vapid moon]

idk what u mean by that cuz ivys is very selective about their aps and if u do classes at cc, they need to transfer

[copper coral]

wait, both of us are not in the same page fs.

[vapid moon]

they should be consideered the same but for cc, u gotta make sure they transfer

[copper coral]

Ik what they mean

[vapid moon]

what is ur questions

[copper coral]

Do colleges favor AP classes more than CC classes?

That is what the person was asking

[vapid moon]

favor how

[ripe onyx]

yeah

[copper coral]

Like. . . do they like AP classes more

[vapid moon]

in terms of what.

ur question is too vague
