This year, Mazzy was in third grade. Third grade, it turns out, is a huge growth year in school. They go from doing addition to doing long division and fractions, all in the span of one year. This was the year she started getting real homework, the year she got her first standardized tests, the year she had required recorder practice at home and the year she got access to the school web portal to log in and complete class assignments on her own.

Hello everyone! I recently completed my course selection and I selected 3 AP's to do: AP Us History, AP Seminar, and AP Computer Science A

can someone please give me a quick rundown ab out AP Seminar?

I'm a sophomore in high school who recently moved to Texas from Wisconsin. In Texas it's completely different and in my old school in Wisconsin, they didn't allow any AP courses for Freshman, which is why I feel like I'm behind on AP's over here.

[unborn girder]

bro u chose the class without knowing

[shadow scroll]

dw im in texas and my school only lets freshman take 1 ap

ive not taken seminar so heres a link that apparently explains what it is https://youtu.be/meHC3pq_spY

[prisma nexus]

y’all think this a hard schedule? american studies 1 and 2 (basically a combo of apush lang), ap bio 1 and 2, calc 1 and 2, molecular bio, csp equivalent class, foundations of data science, spanish 3?

[shadow scroll]

calc 1 & 2 might be difficult to pull off

[prisma nexus]

apparently it’s slight at my school

[austere tulip]

Sounds good

[shadow scroll]

thats fair
its really dependent on what school you go to

[spiral linden]

theres 2 ap bios?

[austere tulip]

No there’s one molecular bio

I think that’s like a specialization thing

That’s helpful to some people so I think it’s fine

[spiral linden]

oh ok

i think i forgot to ask this

whats the highestlevel of physics you can take

[shadow scroll]

in AP?

[austere tulip]

In high school?

[spiral linden]

in hs

[austere tulip]

Well assuming you don’t go to a STEM high school

[prisma nexus]

C i think

[austere tulip]

Physics C

Electricity and magnetism

[spiral linden]

oh

[shadow scroll]

Physics C has two different classes

[spiral linden]

what about dual enrollment

[austere tulip]

Yeah but e and m is more complex I think

[prisma nexus]

it is

[austere tulip]

Same thing physics mechanics and e and m

[shadow scroll]

in my experience DE tends to be lower level than ap so idk
depends ur local college

[spiral linden]

oh rip

[shadow scroll]

maybe theres some sort of online courses if youre really dedicated to physics

[spiral linden]

oh

[austere tulip]

MIT OCW has their physics courses out

Just do their problem sets and recitations and watch their lectures

[spiral linden]

ah i was about to ask that

ty

[austere tulip]

Mit OCW has like the greatest quality of courses

But I’m biased too

[spiral linden]

yeah mit ocw is really

did you check the logs?

[digital slate]

Tbh, I would go for the science classes but that’s just me since I really like biology. I think it just overall depends on if you’re already strong on giving presentations/essays or if you’re into science classes. I found ap seminar helpful as I struggled with writing convincing arguments but I also found regular biology extremely easy, so just go with what you would rather work on

does ap psyc count as a social studies credit

I think so

[glad oriole]

ok

[untold shard]

depends on what you want to do

borger had a burger pfp also

hehe

man

i hate myself

ok

[lyric pasture]

My school didn’t offer AP Chem/bio and only offered honors Chem and bio. Is it going to make a difference on my college app if I self study for the AP exams for those courses?

[spiral linden]

if you pass i think so

[proven totem]

its a good thing ur going out of the way and self studying courses which arent offered

[glad oriole]

what are the top 3 hardest ap courses

[spiral linden]

i think AP chem, AP physics e&m, AP physics mech

based on what ive heard

[glad oriole]

my school puts both of the last 2 together

[spiral linden]

oh

[glad oriole]

sigh

[spiral linden]

i might be wrong about mech

[little flame]

I’m planning to do computer science

Instead of doubling up on science should I take an engineering course instead

[proven totem]

AP seminar

[proven totem]

yes yes AP CSA

AP CSP

[little flame]

It’s already on my list

[little flame]

I did it already

Then engineering right?

[proven totem]

what math u taking?

[little flame]

algebra 2

[proven totem]

oh

[proven totem]

idk i have never taken an engineering course before

[little flame]

But it’s somewhat related to cs so I think imma just take it

[proven totem]

but I will also double up on science my sophomore year

AP physics and Chem

[proven totem]

alright

[little flame]

I feel like doubling up on science is better for medical students

Anyone else have suggestions

[proven totem]

Well physics is a lot similar to math and computer science has a lot of math

hey, does anyone know how I can sign up for ASU courses to add to my hs transcript? thanks!

[bitter gyro]

Should I take AP Chem or AP CSA, I’ll likely pursue medicine but I also want to see if I like or am good at computer science so I’m not sure what to do

[cinder gorge]

Take AP CSA if you're interested in computer science. In the class you will learn about java. If you plan to pursue medicine I dont think ap chem is a good choice.

[sharp wigeon]

if you can take both Do that. if youre interesteD in meDicine though probably ap chem, undergraD schools Dont really care if youre focuseD on meDicine that much as where you are right now is very far off from meD school so just focus on strengthening your stem course rigor. as a siDe note, i think ap chem is a gooD choice for foundational meD knowlege, i dont think meD Draws that much knowlege from chem but you will neeD some understanding to Do ochem then biochem

[uncut crane]

Could I ask if anyone has any advice on what courses(if avaliable for me) I should take in a bsc, I really want to do chem,physics, IT and maths major areas, basically STEM but I dont know how and why uni courses work

[fresh pivot]

any advice on my course selection? im really stuck figuring out my junior and senior year. especially my senior year, i like science and its easy for me, but im so so bad at physics. and im really into earth science so idk if i should take it or not.

im also trying to decided between dual english and ap lit for senior

[fickle compass]

is taking 3 aps too much for a sophomore? (AP bio, AP lang, ApES) i have a 3.65 gpa currently while taking no aps freshman year 🥲

[proven totem]

dang

From 0 to 3 and that too hard ones

[fickle compass]

should i bring it down to two?

my school offers ap lang and bio sophomore year only, then i could maybe take apes as a self study in junior year?

[proven totem]

Pretty sure apes is an easy class

[fickle compass]

hm yeah maybe i could switch out bio with apes

[gloomy lotus]

dont self study a class unless its a class that will help with your major

a lot of people self-study classes like APUSH, or AP Euro or some other random non-stem class when they're going into like CS and it's so useless

the point of self-studying and taking the exam is to get the college credit for the course

also Admissions Officers just see that instead of doing something else like making a passion project, you decided to instead self-study for a class that won't even give you credit

just wanted to let you know since I see a lot of people talk abt self-studying for no reason 👍

[sturdy terrace]

is this a good schedule for senior year thinking bout changing cartoon/animation and wanting to enroll to more college classes outside of school

[clever quail]

In my school they usually say advanced class, Is it like honors ?!

[bitter gyro]

I’ve take honors Chem already is AP Chem worth it additionally?

[pearl mesa]

Ask your school counselor

[bronze spade]

My course classes is a little bit confusing LOL

[waxen stone]

should i quit band in favor of advanced courses? it takes 2 classes worth of my schedule and the only way I can take AP classes at my school is if I double up on certain academics

*only for certain classes

**I currently only have two AP classes (one completed and one upcoming) and I plan to take more as the opportunities come (3-4 more next [junior] year)

[cinder gorge]

should i try to drop french 1 and swap it for chem 1 honors (im a hs freshman and both are electives)

[clever quail]

@cinder gorge Based on planning productively chem honors is a great choice but based on ur interest if you love french do it for your self. Choose your side.

[jaunty goblet]

it honestly just depends on how much you’ve invested and r willing to put into ur instrument. i like band a lot so im doing it throughout high school and my school doesn’t have strict guidelines on APs so i was able to get 3-4 APs every year with band. i know colleges like seeing dedication throughout high school so continuing band is certainly helpful, but it depends on what course you are replacing it with

if you are a stem major and r gona take smth like ap chem physics or a cs one then id say its worth it to drop band

[glad oriole]

in my school im able to take 4 band and 12 ap courses throughout high school but you gotta choose which one is of more importance to you in the future and now

[sharp wigeon]

yah

[heavy drum]

Rate the schedule 1-10. I’m a sophomore

[proven totem]

maybe u shuold hav taken more honors classes

I have never taken any advanced or honors classes I was wondering if anyone can tell me if this schedule is a good start for me currently in 11th grade starting late.

[glad oriole]

wow 1 honors in 11th and no aps, i mean if you want to get into a top school one honors and no ap classes until 11th is kinda...

[iron nest]

Nahh not a top school at least an average college and it’s two honors

[glad oriole]

oh then thats fine

kinda

but still try to get more aps

is it ok not taking a language class in freshman year? and instead take it sophmore or junior year? im not sure if i should take language for 4 years or 2

[round token]

Of course!

Not everyone has to take a language all 4 years

[spiral linden]

i mean you could quit it after sophmore year

[signal merlin]

okay, thanks for the advice!

[cinder gorge]

I am going to grade 11 in September. If I were to move to the US halfway through the year, would I have to repeat my courses or continue from where I left off from? Regardless of the location since I guess the American curriculum is the same across the country…

[heavy drum]

Only honors in my school are English 1,2,3,4 physics1 biomedical research and genetics. Biomedical research, Physics 1 and genetics don’t say honors in the name but they’re weighted 1.05

[glad oriole]

think you can continue from where you left off ive moved alot to different schools even from different states and ive been able to

[gritty plaza]

im at a bit of a delema. Basically i really want to pursue olympiad math this year and make MOP and i really dont want to take APUSH or AMLIT honors (The highest courses for juniors at my school). I dont think i will have the time to do both, considering my stanford mvc class on the side, so what should i do?

[spiral linden]

i think Apush might be a bit easier for you than Aplit, also if you dontmind me asking did you jmo qual this year?

[cinder gorge]

I'm just now realizing how little courses my school actually offers lol. Freshman just plain aren't allowed to take ap courses and sophomores are only allowed to take 1 (ap world history: modern), and besides that it's very difficult to actually take other courses

[gloomy lotus]

it's fine. When you apply to colleges, they take into account what your school offers and what you took based on that

you'll never be penalized for something out of your control

[cinder gorge]

Yea ik, but it'd be nice to have more variety and to have some harder courses. I'm going to apply to ASMSA this year, which is supposed to be the best school in arkansas, and if I get in I'll have a whole host of concurrent and college classes at my disposal🙏🙏

[gritty plaza]

no ive missed it by a 1-5 index the past 3 years since i didnt get much time to study lol

[spiral linden]

ouch 😭

im hoping to qual this year but its unlikely

Has anyone done manabadi here and if so do yk if I even have to take a language class in HS?

I would give it a 9

[gilded jacinth]

My courses has still not come out

[summer kernel]

depends on your long term goals - schools with low acceptance rates sometimes prefer it if you take 4 years so if thats your goal I would reccomend 4 years but if you aren't aiming for that kind of school then you should prioritize other classes that you might like more

[cinder gorge]

geometry would come next, i just finished algebra 1 as well (i'm an upcoming freshman) and i'm planning to double up taking honors geometry and honors algebra 2

[proven totem]

Email

[signal merlin]

ok! thats what i thought lol

ty

[cinder gorge]

yw

[outer folio]

Is trigonometry kinda the same as algebra 2

[proven totem]

No precalc

[austere tulip]

Yeah trig is usually taught with Alg II if you’re in honors and precalc if you’re in regular

Tho both cover trig

Precalc mostly focuses on polar tho

[outer folio]

Ok thanks

[heady cape]

I’m going to be taking precalc next year for my Junior year, is it difficult?

[wary briar]

not really

[proven totem]

ez

[true rune]

should I take ap World history as my first ap class?

i'm in 10th btw

[high tundra]

take ap bio first its easy

[true rune]

nah I struggle on bio

for some reason

i think I dont work that hard in bio

[high tundra]

i did too but i got 5 on ap exam

[true rune]

thats why I suck

[true rune]

oh

[high tundra]

it was my first ap

[true rune]

oh

im taking ap computer science

and ap world

for first

[high tundra]

csp soooooooo hard

i failed

lol

[true rune]

bruh

[pearl mesa]

CSP is generally considered an easier AP class

While AP bio is generally considered a harder AP class

[spiral linden]

i think they were joking

[high tundra]

nuh uh

[wary briar]

are there any other options?>

[true rune]

yeah

not taking ap world

[wary briar]

take it

itll prepare you for future aps

they all work the same

imo

def take it

[rigid acorn]

Greetings, everyone!

I’m new on this server. Hi!

I just have a genuine question. I’m currently undecided on two college program choices that the college I applied to has offered me to pursue. These are the degree programs:

1. Bachelor of Arts in Diplomacy and International Affairs
2. Bachelor of Arts in Governance and Public Affairs

May I kindly ask for relevant factors/ pro’s & con’s/ experience that could help me decide which among these two degree programs is the right decision for my bachelor’s degree?

I would greatly appreciate all your inputs!

[true rune]

alr

[sharp wigeon]

honestly i think its probably the hardest math class in high school that i took, having done calc ab/bc and ibhl math, i think its definitely a step up from algebra 2 but personally i just found stuff like polar really hard to grasp

in retrospect its not super hard but for like the content i had to do compared to where i was in my school career i probably had to try the hardest in it

[finite mountain]

Well, I'm no expert in this field, as I haven't gone to college, let alone for those degrees. But a little bit of research could give me a little bit of an idea.

Graduates of this Bachelor’s Degree in International Relations and Diplomacy will be able to:

1. Assess emerging political trends and practices relating to international organizations and the non-governmental sectors (or actors) in view of current events and future developments.

2. Propose solutions to questions of public concern based on analysis of data and application of theories relating to International Relations.

3. Evaluate theories and concepts of International Relations and their applicability to current and historical events.

4. Critically analyze the importance of multilateralism as it relates to multiculturalism and global diversity on the practice of International Relations and Diplomacy.

5. Demonstrate a solid understanding of current and historical events that have shaped International Relations.

6. Justify the need to be aware of and respectful to ethical issues and responsible citizenship as applied in the professional context of international relations and diplomacy.

7. Integrate transferrable skills in oral and written communication, teamwork, guided learning and independent study.

8. Foster scholarship and research in advancing international relations and diplomacy.

So if you want to become a diplomat, or a politician? This might just be the way to go.

Sorry one moment

I'm grabbing the rest

[proven totem]

Can someone estimate how many hours it would take me to do my hw every day

french is ezzz lifetime fitness and welness is basically PE and debate im cracked

[gloomy lotus]

apcsp a? that's a thing? Well apcsp shouldnt take that long

debate you said is easy

algebra 2 is also easy just make sure you pay attention

bio might be a little hard since theres just a lot of stuff you're going to learn and memorize

aphug is pretty bad in terms of workload. You're probably going to spend a good amount of time on it and im pretty the fail rate this year was like 52% or smth

french you said is easy

english, especially in 9th grade, is pretty easy

and pe is pe

honestly, bio, algebra, and aphug and a bit of csp is what your workload will probably come down to

[tall nacelle]

how many aps should a sophomore take

[proven totem]

AP CSP A means first semester of AP CSP

thanks

[wraith rover]

i would say 30 mins- 1 hour for the busy work everyday and then if you’ve got tests for like bio or human geo then it’ll be like 2 hours.

[proven totem]

alright

[mint current]

my academic schedule for junior year is looking like:

physics honors - online
AP micro - online
APUSH - online
AP lit - in person
AP research - in person
AP calc AB -in person

apparently lit at this school is easy but can anyone let me know how my workload will be for the other classes

also should I add AP gov online or would I be asking to die by doing that

[proven totem]

hard

[gloomy lotus]

not the worst I've seen, but won't be easy either

micro and apush might be the brunt.

ab really isnt that bad if you have a good teacher + pay attentioned
idk about research, but from what I'vev heard, it's not as work-loady as other classes

[mint current]

ok

[cinder gorge]

hi, im a junior and im just wondering how much time it would take to finish the homework/how tough each of these courses are/any advice here are my classes:
us history, american lit/writ, ap phys c mech, ap stats, ap chinese, and teacher aide

[proven totem]

sounds fucking hard lol but i havent taken them

[full tinsel]

Opinions on AP US History? I'm taking it as a course requirement. I'm also a history nerd who watches a bunch of oversimpified and Crash Course for fun.

[uncut elk]

8 periods? How long is your school day 😭

[proven totem]

8:45 - 4:10 so about 7:25 hours

[summer kernel]

No problem!

[uncut elk]

Mines 8:20-3:15, so almost 7 hrs and we only have 6 periods, how long is each class?

[proven totem]

its like 4 classes each day

[summer kernel]

I took geometry honors but it will depend on your school

[uncut elk]

Do you not have every class each day

[proven totem]

nope

90 min long each class

[summer kernel]

I don’t have a whole lot of experience but from what I know you need to play to your strengths - don’t take classes like world history, psych, APES, and bio if you don’t have strong memorization skills

[uncut elk]

I wish 😭 I'm gonna come join ur school

[proven totem]

my school is brand new 💀

first year

[uncut elk]

Mine doesn't even have air conditioning

[proven totem]

idk if my school being new is a good thing tho

[uncut elk]

Is it like weird curriculum or something? Where u at?

[proven totem]

texas

its curriculum is not weird lol

if anything its good cuz i can take many Ap classes

[uncut elk]

I wish, my school is a really small one up in Michigan. I can't take any APs till Junior year and they got rid of honors for equality 💀

[proven totem]

the frick lol

that sucks

[uncut elk]

I don't even know what it had to do with equality in the first place

[pearl mesa]

[late dagger]

can anyone explain how dual enrollment works and how to do it?

[kindred mango]

doing a credit at a uni/college while still in high school

to do it, just talk to your guidance counsellor as the process is different for everyone

[late dagger]

thx

[true rune]

I already asked this

but should I switch from world history to AP world history?

This is my first year taking any sort of AP class

im in 10th btw

[wraith rover]

Yes for many people 10th grade is when they take y mejor first ap and ap world is a very common first ap

[true rune]

oh ok

people keep telling it is hard

to not do it

[glad oriole]

it probably is but thats why schools there to teach you hard things, but nothing is really hard just put in the effort

[true rune]

I guess

[glad osprey]

I don’t think ap world is necessarily hard, it’s just a lot of work and you can’t afford to skip reading assignments. Watching Heimler would probably help you understand the big ideas though. It’s mostly about big trends but sometimes you’ll be thrown off course when they ask very specific questions 😭

this class also has lot of writing, and it has to follow a specific format the way college board wants in order to score points

[true rune]

uhm

I could do that

if I work really hard

I should pass with an A

alr thanks im going to ask if I can switch over to AP

[glad osprey]

alr sounds good, it would probably be a good idea to ask others who have taken the course though to get their opinions on the teacher

[true rune]

oh

idk who has and who hasn't tho

[true rune]

should I just go around my school and ask randoms?

[hardy perch]

Sorry that this is very matter of fact, but I am trying to get my point across while tired, and so I'm listing details. I'm trying to get into Ivies. I'm going to be a senior and am taking as many AP classes as possible that fit my schedule. I've already taken Spanish (4), Gov (5), WHAP (5), and Stats (?). My school is on a block schedule with 4 blocks in a day. During my first semester, I'll be taking Econ (both), Lit, Calc AB, and the fourth is the one I'm questioning. Second semester, I'm taking Chem and some required classes. For fourth block of my first semester, I am currently debating between Physics I and Psychology. Whichever one I do not take the AP for I will have to take to graduate nonetheless (so either a quarter of Honors Physics or general psychology). I want to go into school for business, but I love challenging myself. I will be busy between homework for the other classes, extracurriculars, and writing college essays, but I'm wondering which I should pick/which would colleges prefer? AP Physics is more rigorous but less relevant to my major, while AP Psych is easier and more relevant but I'm worried it's too easy to even be worth taking. Which of these would be better for me? Also, I am again sorry for the listing of information. I know it's boring to read.

I love the challenge of AP in comparison to general classes that make me want to knock my head into a wall because of how little there is to learn in them

I've been back and forth all summer on which class I want to take. Unfortunately, I can't take both because my school only has 1 or 2 blocks a year for these AP classes and some overlap

[pearl mesa]

I domt think I’ve ever seen someone stress sm over such a simple decision

No offense

But take the class you like

Doesn’t matter what colleges want

Also psych is closer to your major so

Idk if I’ve ever heard, this AP class is so easy, not even worth taking bc colleges will thinks it’s not rigorous

Also smth to note, having the most rigorous course load doesn’t mean taking every AP you can

But who am I to talk, I’m taking 5 so

[hardy perch]

I am definitely one who overthinks these things. And I know it doesn't, but I do enjoy the challenge. I also don't know how to increase rigor unless it's by taking APs/DC. The only couple at my school that I'm not taking are AP Bio (which is respectable) and APES (which I have no interest in).

[pearl mesa]

What major do you want

[hardy perch]

Depending on where I go, Econ or Finance, and then go on to law school for corporate law.

[foggy jolt]

what courses do you guys recommend taking in high school for studying and pursuing bioinformatics/bioengineering/biotechnology?

[pearl mesa]

stem

[pearl mesa]

so i'd say just take whatever class you wanna take

based off interest

[pearl mesa]

4 years of math, take Ap bio, computer sciences could be a good one

[hardy perch]

My issue with that is I'd love the challenge of AP Physics, and I enjoy the subject, but I also love psychology

[pearl mesa]

So it’s def a personal decision

Whichever one you think you’d enjoy the content more

And from the sounds of it

It’s psychology

[weak spoke]

Should I go for gender studies?

[sharp wigeon]

higher acceptance rate trolololol

[unreal sphinx]

If you are extremely passionate in that topic then go for it. Also, I mean I'd say it's a hidden way to get higher acceptance rate. If your just doing it for that aspect then umm lol idk what to say. May I ask though what you plan to do after College?

[glad osprey]

ig, maybe upperclassmen are more likely to have taken the class?

it’s just to get an understanding of their teaching style to see if it’ll work for you, and also their sense of pacing for the course :).

[true rune]

Alr

Im going to ask some kids that look smart

[left coral]

no

unless your plan is to switch majors right after or smth like that

[true rune]

Nooooo

Ap world is fulll

😭😭😭😭😭so sad

[limpid tree]

What do you do in AP human geography

[glad osprey]

oh that’s too bad 😭
ig you could look for other aps to take or ask for any alternatives

[true rune]

they told me to take

ap human geo

[glad osprey]

from what I remember it was mostly about the effects humans have had on earth, like urbanization and the cultural landscape

They also talk about human patterns in settlement, population, and culture

[true rune]

oops

[true rune]

oh

thats not too bad

[glad osprey]

yea I took it as a freshman

[true rune]

oh

[glad osprey]

So it may have been harder to me than if you were to take it later on

[true rune]

oh

[glad osprey]

it’s also heavy on big trends too

like apwh

but it’s not too bad once u get the hang of it

[pliant swift]

What's courses should I take ( I wanna do either medicine or cs)

[sharp wigeon]

just take the harDest courses your school has

[proven totem]

what if they’re challenging

[proven totem]

Health science theory

AP Chem bio

thats the point

[proven totem]

[serene locust]

i am taking ap bio and apes jr and sr year what is the best order to take it in

[glad oriole]

but ap biology is generally harder

[proven totem]

[glad oriole]

its harder

then apes

[soft jacinth]

Funny thing about ap bio. How hard would it be to self study ap bio in 90 days and get a 4 or 5

[glad oriole]

no one knows unless someone actually did it

and i would be surprised if they replied to that

[proven totem]

no shit

[gloomy lotus]

[proven totem]

ap precalc not that hard if u did well in algebra 2 just complex numbers conics etc random shit

[hexed temple]

Go for it

Your school probably has a policy that if you can’t handle the workload after trying it you can switch some stuff

But I think you will b able to

[smoky cosmos]

I just think with senioritous and also just like the workload bc I have an internship I have to wake up early for, lots of EC’s and other courses so idk. I’ve taken a year of computer science non AP though, so comp shouldn’t be hard right?

[placid nexus]

Would geometry still have to count if it’s in the graduation requirements for you? If yes, then take that as well.

[glad oriole]

to take geometry you need to have algebra 1 so ye and to take alg 2 you need geometry

[signal merlin]

how many ap classes and/or honor classes should i take durring highschool?

thatll maybe impress college admission idk

[pearl mesa]

Typically, you want to take the same or a little more than your peers

Some websites say anywhere from 8-12

But that could be limited depending on your school

So it's really situational

[signal merlin]

ok ty!

[proven bough]

People im about to get into highschool and am unsure what to course to pick from engineering, medical, Accounting (commerce)

I looked into a couple articles but all were mostly divided 50 50 between engineering and accounting

For my futures sake i need a job that could pay reasonable, provide decent living standards for me and my future family inshallah.

Any suggestions on which course and field in it that could help me accomplish those goals?

[tawdry thorn]

IT is an option to

depending on your school

[pearl mesa]

Well considering you’re going into high school, you still have a few years to choose what job you wanna do

You Can take classes related to each

To see which you really like

Bc articles and the real deal are two very separate things

[copper dawn]

Hey. I’m in my senior year of high school and I’ve noticed I’m into genetics. I thought of pursuing genetic engineering because the technology will be massive by 2040 probably, but my priority is a reliable job with adequate opportunities and well paying. Should i go for it?

[primal garnet]

go for it, looks like you’re interested in it

[placid nexus]

Try to see if they any dual enrollment classes for that

[copper dawn]

I’m afraid I’ll have a hard time finding a job

[agile mist]

i know the demand for biomedical engineers is high but i dont know about genetic engineering specifically, you should try it though

i am really into psychology and i was wondering if i should major in it? Most people tell me i shouldnt unless i will study beyond just a bachlors.

[proven bough]

Yeah so i live in a developing country so highschool is treated as just simple school, i cant pick and sit in different classes what course i pick teachers will come teach me that course specific subjects

But i guess since i have a couple years left ill see what im liking

[agile mist]

You can always study by yourself since you cant in school. I found some recent graduates who gave me their university textbooks for free. Maybe start/join a club at school.

[pearl mesa]

I'd say throughout the next few years, whatever is possible class-wise. Try to learn about each of your interests. Career fairs or just talking to someone in the field can help to give you a better understanding of what you'd be going into. College is also a good time to find out what you're interested in, taking a variety of classes your freshman year then you can declare your major your sophomore year of college (in the US at least)

[remote elbow]

Medical suits more to your needs for your future as you mentioned. Though working in medical is really stressful and you may have less time to bond with your family.

[kindred latch]

Is english major okay for something like medicine ?

Just asking

[quick salmon]

I heard med schools love humanity majors idk

Or at least it doesn’t hurt you or anything

[cinder gorge]

Yeah, just make sure to take the pre-med requisites

Any major is fine as long as you take the courses the med school is asking for

The courses you'd need to take depends on the school and its location

For example, here in the US, each state does things differently, so what Harvard requires can be not enough for what Columbia requires.

Might need an extra lab or course in biochem idk

[pearl mesa]

Take the major that interests you

And do the pre med reqs as stated above

[jolly tundra]

Heyy there. So when planning for my 4-year schedule, in my senior year i have the option to take Mobile App dev(Not honor or accelerated) in my school. But I'm conflicted if taking a AP french or stat is better than App dev as i get college credit and a higher gpa; or does it look good if i take the App dev in senior year , though i can't show any projects on it . Let me know your take on this. Ty !

I need help trying to figure out if I should take AP comp sci or not, I’m a senior in high school and I’m only taking one AP rn, and last year I took only one too. Should I take it?

[heady vault]

I heard about a kid from my high school who completed AP calculus and the rest of his math classes in sophomore year and starting in junior he got a free 40 minutes period and he logged onto zoom and took official online Stanford classes (from a real professor)

Can someone confirm if it’s possible to do this

And how I can get on a path to do so

And should I consult my guidance counselor about this

[pearl mesa]

It’s a relatively easy class, also fun, good intro to o outer related topics like how the internet works, how emails are sent etc

[haughty schooner]

1st- Honors English 10
2nd- AP Biology
3rd- Honors Algebra 2
4th- Advanced Acting
5th- AP European History
6th- Digital Literacy

My schedule
