[worthy flare]

what are y’all’s EC’s

[proven totem]

never said i was

[rancid briar]

oh ok

[proven totem]

dw about it i have 4 years to figure that out

[pallid trellis]

And I've done a ton of math ECs and other ECs in general over the years

[proven totem]

did u take amc 10

or 12

[pallid trellis]

Yeah

[worthy flare]

YOURE A FRESHMAN?

[rancid briar]

then why you saying your ECs are shit when your high school barely stared lol

started

[proven totem]

yea

[worthy flare]

damnn

[proven totem]

what did u get

[daring jay]

Huh

What are we

Talking about

[proven totem]

how did u learn calculus

i wanted to learn it for physics oly

@daring jay

[daring jay]

I did some community college stuff but

[proven totem]

breh

[daring jay]

I’d recommend you use a textbook

[proven totem]

aops?

[pallid trellis]

Not enough to get into AIME

[proven totem]

dang

[daring jay]

No art of problem solving doesn’t usually cover calculus

[proven totem]

what do u think ur chances are of making USAMO

[daring jay]

I’d pick up a good old single variable calculus textbook

Maybe one by Larson

[proven totem]

aops calculus book?

[daring jay]

Or Gilbert strang if he even makes though

Those*

no not AOPS

[pallid trellis]

87, cutoff was 94.5

[proven totem]

what do u think ur chances are of making AIME now

[daring jay]

Does AOPS have a calc textbook?

[proven totem]

yes

[daring jay]

Idk, maybe then

[proven totem]

but i gotta do the precalc one

if i make AIME

[pallid trellis]

I think I'll get at some point in hs

[daring jay]

I haven’t gone through AOPS’s Calc textbook

[proven totem]

what about usamo

[proven totem]

how long do u estimate it will take me to do one chapter in precalc

cuz i average 1 a day for the intro books

[daring jay]

I’ve got no clue,

I haven’t looked at precalc since 6th grade

[pallid trellis]

It's possible

[proven totem]

dang

u did precalc in 6th grade?

[daring jay]

Pre calc 6th, Calc AB 7th, calc BC 8th

[proven totem]

lmao

alr bye grind now

[daring jay]

Cya

[gloomy lotus]

some states are different and some schools systems you can do 2 math

like sophomore year, I did both calc ab and precalc

not as crazy as everyone else but yeah

dude how are people finishing calc in middle school

wtf

[proven totem]

breh idk

[pallid trellis]

Lol

[glad oriole]

they are now i feel worthless

[gloomy lotus]

Thats like one dude out of a hundred you’re not worthless

[glad oriole]

ok good to know

[worthy flare]

Calc in middle school is crazy

Fresh out of elementary after learning algebra 1 and 2

[gloomy lotus]

Its not the norm either

[mint thorn]

Welcome to life lol

[proven totem]

ooga babooga

[lethal lichen]

do you guys think grades in senior year classes/ap courses matter?

im going to be a senior in a week and this time taking more than 1 ap class

[gloomy lotus]

for college credit, yeah

for your actual admission, not much

[lethal lichen]

looks like im screwed

[gloomy lotus]

the first semester will be taken into account on your transcript - but AOs won't put a heavy emphasis on it

your junior year is 10x more important

[lethal lichen]

can i show you my transcript in dms if you don't mind? (Looking for feedback)

[gloomy lotus]

yeah go ahead

[elfin python]

I have a bit of a question
I’m a rising freshman and I’m looking at my courses and it looks fine, except I’m in regular orchestra. It’s not that I don’t enjoy orchestra, but I feel like I might be hurting my application as I’m not getting a honors credit that the advanced orchestras would get. I’m not particularly great at my instrument either, and I already have another that I prioritize more, but I still feel kind of obligated to continue with it for the next 4 years. I’m wondering what you guys think, especially as if I don’t take it I’d get the opportunity to take another CS class. I’m not really sure but I’m thinking I will do it as it’s something I genuinely enjoy, but Id like to know in advance if I’m ruining my college chances or something as that’s my top priority

[gloomy lotus]

You're never ruining your college chances by doing something you genuinely enjoy.

If you really enjoy orchestra and believe that you can grow at it within the next few years, definitely continue it. That committment and passion that you show is infinitely more valuable than the "honors credit" to colleges and AOs

But if you feel you don't really like it, and would rather pursue something else, drop it. You can take another class (like a CS one), like you mentioned

[sour isle]

If you're not great with your instrument, I can imagine this is all the more opportunity for you to explain your story and how you were committed to becoming better at the musical arts. It can be frustrating when you can't get honors weight on a class, but in the end it will likely work out as is best for you.

[gloomy lotus]

⬆️

[elfin python]

Ok that helps

I was just sweating over it but I think I’ll continue

[sour isle]

Are you taking any other music related classes? Music theory?

or any performing arts in general

[elfin python]

no I’m not really aware of much after freshman year yet

[sour isle]

how about this year

[elfin python]

I play and take private lessons for piano outside of school which I’ve done more

[elfin python]

nope

[sour isle]

Well that's great too!

[elfin python]

Yeah I’m much better at it but I still want to do both

[sour isle]

You really don't have anything to worry about as it is, if that helps at all. It seems like you have a path you'd like to take and you have a general idea of what you want to pursue, regardless of the instrument. In the end, you're still passionate about music.

[elfin python]

yeah

thanks for the advice

[sour isle]

Yeah np, anytime!

[smoky cosmos]

I’m still on the fence about taking AP comp sci A, I’m a senior with a full schedule, and only one AP. I plan to major in engineering and idk if I want to add the course work of comp sci or if I’ll get bored and it’ll be boring?

[fluid solstice]

i'm going into sophmore year and taking 1 ap class (ap human geo, idk if thats a typical class option) i could have taken ap psych but i had other stuff i wanted/needed to take (human growth, personal finance, weight training, spanish) so i plan on taking it junior year

was that a bad idea or nah

[heady vault]

So I’m currently in 8th grade taking Algebra 2 does that mean I’ll be taking AP Calculus in freshman year?

[tall nacelle]

no, you’d be taking pre calc

[smoky cosmos]

Anyone on this??

[gloomy lotus]

It really depends. Do you want to go into CS at some point in your college career? APCSA goes over a lot of programming fundamentals that’ll be useful in almost any CS course you take

[proven totem]

skip precalc for ap calc

[cinder gorge]

That’s easier said than done

[proven totem]

calm down doctar

not that hard if u have time

mdidle school is ez

[cinder gorge]

Sure…

[cinder gorge]

Also, I noticed you were in the Rishab Server, so you do research or research competitions?

[proven totem]

no

i told u in DMs doctor

do u not remember me

[cinder gorge]

Sorry, there are like 147 people in my DMs currently

[errant otter]

Dude how do you like pick a major bro

I'm stumped in between:
-Compsci
-Finance
-Accounting
-Business management

[rose jetty]

Hi does anyone do business studies here that can help me with a question

[golden loom]

Also check #careers

[rough patio]

Is my Junior year schedule rigorous enough: AP Language, AP World, AP Environmental Science, AP Government and Politics, Honors Latin, Honors Sociology, Standard Pre Calc, and Junior Gym.

[round badger]

Doesn't seem too bad, I don't know the difficulty between AP and IB but IB was pretty easy for me. They would just slap IB on a random course and gave me an easy GPA boost for the easiest classes.

[hexed hearth]

Has anyone tripped majored? I’m thinking about math, aerospace and mechanical which I know all share quite a bit

[round badger]

that would be an insane amount of work load

[hexed hearth]

I mean half the engineering is straight math

[pearl mesa]

I had a friend who graduated last year and is doing that

The work load would be a lot

[hexed hearth]

Yeh I’m down for it

[pearl mesa]

You’d have to slim down on your EC’s just to finish homework/study

And definitely expect to have summer classes

[hexed hearth]

I mean I’m finishing my associates with high school too

[pearl mesa]

Gotcha

[proven totem]

you have ECs in college?

[pearl mesa]

Ppl have hobbies

Things they like to do

[hexed hearth]

If ur normal 💀

[proven totem]

relly?

[pearl mesa]

That’s what I mean when I say EC

[proven totem]

tha'ts very disesptrfucl to me.

[pearl mesa]

Anyways, what’s your purpose in triple majoring?

[hexed hearth]

To say I did it lmao

I’m def doubling with math and one of the other

[round badger]

You might receive a job offer from Lockheed martin

[hexed hearth]

Lmao

To benefit society

[pearl mesa]

I’m not totally sure what the benefits of triple majoring are

But ik double majoring could be good

[hexed hearth]

Yeh

I still got some time to figure it out

[round badger]

double majoring could be a smooth ride depending on what you choose and if they are similar and whether the colleges offer accelerated courses

[hexed hearth]

Yeh that’s why I was thinking math and aerospace

[rigid forge]

you can double major or have a minor in one of those
seems like ur more interested in business tho

[wise forge]

double major and minor if you have a big scholarship lmfao

[jagged pewter]

is taking 4th year of language worth it

[tulip rapids]

does Cornell have a bs/md program?

[leaden saddle]

My junior year classes

[scenic lichen]

my sophomore year classes (submitting a schedule change for period 5 when they start requests and theyre still fixing my schedule up)

[sour isle]

Very fun

🤩

[scenic lichen]

Thank god! I took 2 honors courses freshman year and it sucked

[proven totem]

me whos taking 3 ap courses + 3 honors courses

+ devoting about 30 hours per week to study for olympiads and stuff

+ extracurriculars

[gloomy lotus]

damn thats a whole part time job ;-;

[proven totem]

give me tips on time managment and god will bless you

trust

[gloomy lotus]

my school is easy in terms of work so itll differ

but ill try

[lofty surge]

If I were to take these classes, how much time do you guys think my homework load would be per night?
Algebra 1
Geometry
Biology
English
World History
Study Hall
Choir

[proven totem]

AP world history?

dw this looks fairly easy you will get enough time to talk with your friends in general chat

#general

bros grinding for veteran

[flint wyvern]

how useful is ap lang in helping you develop writing skills for the future?

im thinking about taking it but the teacher at my school is really bad

[lofty surge]

[lofty surge]

I can't take any AP's as a freshman

[tall glacier]

hey guys. so im in 9th grade, im thinking of taking ap bio, but idk if its goin to be to hard for me. i havent taken and biology courses before. shuld i take or wait till 10th or 11th grade? im also aiming for ivy league scool.

*any

[sour isle]

Depends entirely on how fast you naturally work and how you ration out your studying.

[proven totem]

Do u know anything about bio

[lofty surge]

I want to have time to self study other topics and hang out with IRL friends + spend time with family 😭

[tall glacier]

not rlly

[proven totem]

bruh

[proven totem]

interesting!!!

[lofty surge]

I'll take that into consideration, thanks.

[sour isle]

Take a biology course first.

[lofty surge]

So enthusiastic brotha

[lofty surge]

If you can, take honours bio

[proven totem]

too ez

but ap bio is too hard

[lofty surge]

Well you shouldn't jump right into ap bio with no prior knowledge

[proven totem]

indeed

[lofty surge]

I wish they had honours bio at my school 😔

[proven totem]

Its honors*

[sour isle]

Also biology is just such an abstract subject, AP bio will touch on things you will have needed to learn in any given biology class.

[lofty surge]

It's*

[proven totem]

lmao

[tall glacier]

ok

[lofty surge]

But I use a U in honour and in colour

[proven totem]

u dare to play my own tricks against me

[proven totem]

maybe there’s something wrong with your spellings

[lofty surge]

Europeans do it 💀

[proven totem]

They do?

[lofty surge]

I've always written that way

[lofty surge]

Most, yeah

[sour isle]

If you are enthusiastic about it though, don't let that kill your motivation. I'd just suggest taking a biology class (honors if possible) and maybe even self-studying. If you go to Barnes and Noble's you can find an assortment of AP Bio prep books, and with your regular bio studying you can put yourself in a really solid position. It's always important to be thinking about what's next!

[tall glacier]

wait but can i take it as dual enrollment

thx

[sour isle]

If you are truly ready and willing, I won't tell you to stop yourself. Biology was my weakest subject freshman year, personally haha.

[tall glacier]

thing is im takin ap world and cs principals and i dont wanna overwork myself

[tall glacier]

well we all hav to take hard classes in hs.

[sour isle]

Good thinking, AP world isn't awful for workload but I have no idea about computer science principals.

[sour isle]

Everyone should, but you have to take classes that are reasonable for you.

[tall glacier]

i herd cs principals is one of the easiest APs

[sour isle]

Well then that's good!

[tall glacier]

tru, u cant burn urself.out

[sour isle]

Amen to that, especially freshman year.

[tall glacier]

Amen

[flint wyvern]

is dual enrollment hard?

[sour isle]

Can be awkward

Are you exploring dual enrollment?

[flint wyvern]

yes

for english/writing

is it good for college aside from getting credit/is the workload worse than ap?

@sour isle

[sour isle]

I don't know personally, I was going to do pre-law dual enrollment but I never had the time in my schedule. From what I've heard, it's just like another advanced class.

[proven totem]

elaborate

[sour isle]

Entirely depends on the person and how involved they want to be with their academics. If taking college courses on campus (or off campus) sounds appealing, then go for it. I don't personally see to it that it'd be an enjoyable thing.

[flint wyvern]

another advanced class as in like honors? @sour isle

[proven totem]

ap

[sour isle]

yeah definitely AP

[vagrant solar]

What’s are like BS/MS programs

[full tinsel]

Wat AP courses could someone self study for?

[pearl mesa]

From the sounds of it, a combined bachealors and masters program

[leaden saddle]

Macro, micro, stat, comp sci principles

And like mostly fact based AP

[willow rune]

something thats more fact based

[halcyon rapids]

If I take a flex/free period, when evaluating gpa, assuming 7 periods, would it just be over 6, since there’s no grade for the flex period

[errant otter]

How do you know I'm more interested in business 🤨

[cinder gorge]

can anyone send an outline for an email to a counselor regarding a class change

[rough patio]

Question: If I took honors math freshman and sophomore year, but decided to take regular leveled junior year would that be make or break on a college application ?

I am also taking 4 AP’s junior year

[pearl mesa]

It wouldn’t make or break

But it wouldn’t look that good

[rough patio]

If I go back to honors senior year would it look better ??…

[pearl mesa]

Probably

[hexed hearth]

would anyone suggest adjustments to this schedule at all? summer is all my aps and dual enrolled credits and stuff

any that they will let u

[vapid bluff]

does ap microecon come before macro ? which is offered in the first sem

[pallid trellis]

They're separate courses with some overlap, but I don't think they're dependent on each other

[rancid merlin]

Is sociology good for Pre-med? Im trying to switch out but am not sure if I should go through with it

[full tinsel]

Macro focuses on the economy as a whole while micro focuses on the small stuff

[signal merlin]

u dont know some countries adds the letter "u" in some words???

[proven totem]

no LOL

they do?

[signal merlin]

yeah they do

like colour

i think its pretty common in uk but idk

[soft jacinth]

Is self studying AP Bio, AP lit, AP stats, AP American Government, and AP Macroeconomics too much for a junior who’s never taken an ap pr honors course? How well can I do in the classes?

I worded that weirdly, im just self studying ap bio

[proven totem]

DANG

that sounds pretty hard

[full tinsel]

If ur good at math, science, and writing u can do it

[rancid merlin]

Nah macros easy

[proven totem]

but theyve never taken a ap/honors course before and they are self studying

[full tinsel]

AP Gov is all fact based so u shouls be fine as it's just memorization

O

[rancid merlin]

Don't self study Ap bio

[full tinsel]

Then

Yeah take it as a clads

Class

Imma self-study AP Human Geo

[proven totem]

ez

[rancid merlin]

Yea do that

That's ez

[full tinsel]

And maybe AP Italian after I get good at Spanish

[proven totem]

wha-

[rancid merlin]

Nah

Man in on a whole nother level ot intelligence

[proven totem]

ap italian is a thing?

[rancid merlin]

2 AP LANGUAGES

[full tinsel]

Yeah

[glacial onyx]

Yes

[rancid merlin]

BRO

[full tinsel]

I like spanish

[rancid merlin]

Good luck

[full tinsel]

I have a passion for language

[rancid merlin]

Fluent?

[full tinsel]

Thanks

Somewhat

I'm taking Spanish III this year

[glacial onyx]

Latin is superior 🤓

[full tinsel]

My spanish teacher thinks I should take AP Spanish Lang so

Imma do it

Maybe self study AP Spanish Lit while doing spanish

[rancid merlin]

Go for it

YO

What grade are you in?

[full tinsel]

I'm entering sophomore

But I do AP Spanish Lang in senior year on my schedule

After I do Spanish IV

[rancid merlin]

Same!

[full tinsel]

Prereqs

[rancid merlin]

Im doing spanish 3 rn but I'm good a couple of Aps

How many are you doing?

[full tinsel]

Yeah

2

[rancid merlin]

Last year?

[full tinsel]

APUSH and AP CSP

I took AP Gov last year

[rancid merlin]

Ahhh

[full tinsel]

Our school has a lot of neccssary prereqs to take APs

[rancid merlin]

Same

[full tinsel]

Or county system

[rancid merlin]

I just do them online though

[full tinsel]

Well

I'll transfer to another school for a semester

Cuz I plan on taking AP Physics C

[rancid merlin]

That's a hard class

[full tinsel]

Yeah

[rancid merlin]

Good luck man

[full tinsel]

Thanks

[rancid merlin]

Gtg

See ya

[signal merlin]

i dont think u should self study ap bio, maybe take ap bio class and self study an easier ap class

if u never even took an honor class, it may be a bit diffucult for those classes

but if ur dedicated, u can do it

[soft jacinth]

Im amazing at math, then in terms of best to worst subjects it goes social studies, then english and science is my worst subject

[soft jacinth]

I am dedicated

[signal merlin]

then i think you would do fine! i suggest tho maybe take ap bio class and self study an easier ap class as i said before. but if ur dedicated to self study ap bio, then u can do it.

u could also remove some ap classes in junior if its too much and take some in sernior. but if u have lots of motiavation, it could still work out

but if u are motivated to do ur orignal plan, then go for it!

[soft jacinth]

Honestly, regular bio was hard for me, but I do think I can do it

Any social studies class I can surely handle along with Stats

[signal merlin]

same for me lol

[soft jacinth]

Lit and bio are really my only concerns, and the teacher for Lit is really awesome

[soft jacinth]

😂😂

[signal merlin]

yeah, those seems to be easier classes

lit and bio are seen as the harder classes for sure

maybe talk to ur school conselor for more info

and advice

[soft jacinth]

I did, were just trying to get my priorities straight,

[full tinsel]

Don't forget u have resources

[signal merlin]

ooo ok

[full tinsel]

Like Gohar's Guide

And Online videos

[soft jacinth]

I can’t really take AP Bio as a class bc it would destroy what my schedule is all about. It just doesn’t fit nicely, i can’t take it senior yr because its only offered every other year

[full tinsel]

Oof

Sucks

Same for AP Chem and AP Physics I at my school

[soft jacinth]

Yea it sucks

[full tinsel]

So i may have to transfer for a semester

Ik a girl in my grade took the AP Mandarin test

Even tho we don't have courses for it

So imma try to get my counselors to let me self study AP Human Geo or either AP Italian or AP Spanish Lit after I finish Hon Spanish IV

[soft jacinth]

That’s awesome (:

[full tinsel]

Yeah

I just hope self studying doesn't affect my course schedule

Cuz I'm just studying for the exams, not the coursework to boost my GPA

[soft jacinth]

Yeah

[signal merlin]

oh rip

[full tinsel]

Anyone know about the "dead" APs

APs that were removed?

[soft jacinth]

How about senior yr? I wanna do AP Calc BC, AP Chem, APUSH, AP Language and Composition. And AP Psych or APES (1 of the 2) I’d have to take Calc BC, APUSH, AP Chem and one other AP in one semester. Its just the way the schedule has to be

[proven totem]

Ap Chem?????

[full tinsel]

Just self study APES

Or Psych

[proven totem]

Calm down buddy u cant just go from no APs to chem

[full tinsel]

Yeah

I took 1 freshmen yeae

2 this year

[proven totem]

how did u do in chem

[full tinsel]

4 junior

[proven totem]

if u took it

[full tinsel]

And 6 senior

Btw I will also take AP Chem

Also did u take Calc AB?

[soft jacinth]

Thats senior yr

[soft jacinth]

Me?

[full tinsel]

Ye

[soft jacinth]

My school only offers BC, at my school, your supposed to take Calculus 1 first semester, then do AP Calc BC second semester

[full tinsel]

Oh alr

[soft jacinth]

I think my school is weird compared to others in terms of ap’s

[full tinsel]

Just make sure ue getting the neccesaey knowledge cuz that could be a hard pill to swallow*

*(This is a metaphor, do not take ur AP Calc BC work and swallow it like a pill)

How so?

[soft jacinth]

What

[soft jacinth]

Idk it just feels like it

[full tinsel]

Well wut does ur school offer in terms of APs?

[soft jacinth]

This is all the weighted/ap classes

[paper walrus]

this is off topic but yall have math 4 and 5? dang

[full tinsel]

No AP Physics?

[soft jacinth]

Yes, Math 1 and 3 is alg 1 and 2, math 2 is geometry, math 4 and 5 is precalc and trig, and calc is calc

[soft jacinth]

Nope

Not even 1

[full tinsel]

Oof

[paper walrus]

ohh

[full tinsel]

And not a single world language AP?

[soft jacinth]

Nope

[full tinsel]

No World or Euro?

[soft jacinth]

Nope

[full tinsel]

U were correcto

No world languages

Some art APs

[soft jacinth]

Yeah, I refuse to take AP Art because the last time I took an art class was when I was like 10 years old probably and I hate it

Im not gonna take Comp sci bc the teacher is absolutely dreadful

Other than that my options are open

[full tinsel]

I like how AP Calc is not specified

Could be taking AP Calc CD lol

[soft jacinth]

Oh true 😂

[full tinsel]

For those of yall unaware AP Calc CD was a joke

It will always be AB and BC

[daring jay]

Unfortunately

[soft jacinth]

Imagine calc cd

[full tinsel]

Anyone know the dead APs?

[soft jacinth]

Naw

[full tinsel]

The ones that got removed?

Most are world languages

[soft jacinth]

Imma god

[full tinsel]

Except for AP CS AB

And one was rebirthed

They got rid of AP Italian

For a year

Then put it back

The other two are AP French Lit. And Latin Lit.

And there was a conceptualized AP Russian Course

[kindred latch]

Damn why do you hate art

[signal merlin]

people say im naturally good at art, (and enjoy it) but id be honest, i hate it at times cuz it could be stressful at times. mostly for me, i hate it cuz i always think my art piece always looks bad and then i compare it to others

my personal experince

[hexed locust]

oh shit man why cant u include that last warning first I had already swallowed it :(

[sharp wigeon]

this sounDs pretty gooD honestly, calc bc offers minimal adDitional content to calc ab/calc 1. just some polar stuff that coulD be realistically covereD for most stuDents in 1 semester

[errant dagger]

Opinions on schedule, I have AP Lit, AP Psych, AP Stats, Chem, Medical Pathway Course, French 2, State History and Democracy, Earth Systems, and thinking of Early College Health Class and Speech Class, might just do the ec health class tho

[stable horizon]

im currently studying igcse and will do ib in the future so i was wondering if taking extra AP exams would help or would it be useless and should i dedicate my time somewher else?

[daring burrow]

i am currently looking forward to go towards engineering field, more specifically towards electrical engineering, i am currently studying IBDP and i am year 1, my subject choices are
HL:
maths aa
physics
chemistry
sl:
spanish
english
economics

am i missing out on something? i feel like the choices are pretty decent for the least

[austere tulip]

You should try taking computer science if you can

[daring burrow]

i cant take 3 science subjects and i dont think i will be able to give up on chemistry .-.

[pallid trellis]

Is Computer Science a science course in your school? It's a math class in my school

[cinder gorge]

i think it varies by school. at my school we can take computer science to substitute a math or science class but not both

[pallid trellis]

interesting

[soft jacinth]

Anyone know really good resources to self study AP Bio?

[pallid trellis]

#ap-exam-help or #science-help would probably be better channels for this

[soft jacinth]

My b

[dusty raft]

is AP chem or AB bio more difficult?

[soft jacinth]

I think the consensus is Chem

[dusty raft]

ok, thats what i heard from other people too, just wanted to check lol

[proven totem]

Chem

[golden garden]

Any changes I should make to my schedule

Ap Calc
Ap Bio
Ap Chem
Ap Gov
Rhetoric Writing
Spanish 101

[pallid trellis]

which ap calc?

[golden garden]

ab

[trail sleet]

how hard are IB classes?

[sly hill]

Why are you taking 2 science classes?

and how many classes does ur school allow you to take in a school year

[proven totem]

maybe they are a sciece persoan

[sly hill]

AP classes depend on major imo

especially if you are going into your senior year

[daring burrow]

Yeah

[pallid trellis]

what if I take like 20

[pallid trellis]

interesting

[glacial onyx]

I don’t give a shit what u say computer science isn’t a science

People would say “I’m taking 3 sciences” and I’m like stfu comp sci doesn’t count

[pallid trellis]

what does "a science" mean then

also my school considers it a math class

[glacial onyx]

Where is the science in computer science?

[pallid trellis]

look through this, and see if CS fits it (it does btw)

[full tinsel]

Oh yeah

The Think! Try Again is just troubleshooting an algorithm of code

[pallid trellis]

yeah

[full tinsel]

Also College board tends to group together the AP math courses and CS courses

[pallid trellis]

yeah exactly

my school does too

[full tinsel]

My school just lists it as a Tech Ed Course

Or rather county

[pallid trellis]

(my HS course selection guide)

(collegeboard)

[full tinsel]

My school doesn't have as many math courses as that lol

[pallid trellis]

lol

it's basically just these:
algebra 1
geometry
algebra 2
precalculus
calculus
statistics
computer science
and then this thing

but yeah my school is fairly big

[jolly tundra]

Heyy there ! Majoring in CS, i am eager to take the Wev and App development courses in my HS. But cuz of that i have to cut down on my other AP classes. Do think i should go ahead with the CS courses or just take up the APs. Tyia !

[pallid trellis]

you'll probably be able to self study the CS APs

take the other APs

CSP and CSA

you can see material on collegeboard

lemme get the link one sec

https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-computer-science-a
https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-computer-science-principles

[viscid creek]

Yeah you can learn quite lots from free/cheap online courses like udemy

[jolly tundra]

Man, i spoke to guys who took the web course, and they showed me their websites - with full stack dev and UX design

It's in our school directory

Not for everyone uk

U grow up kid

I aint need to prove shit to u

Especially to a guy with PEANUTS in his pfps

Such a wuss

[pearl mesa]

Could you both stop arguing

Not what this channel is for

That’s still arguing

Ok

[sharp wigeon]

i cant say how mmuch it would help but it ceratinly wouldnt hurt

and there is a lot of ap exams you could take with just ib course knowledge, the only extra time you would really have to dedicate is the time it would take you to sign up for the exams

and you could just take the exams without studying and youll probably do fine

just from my own experience you could pretty easily get a 5 on both ap calc exams if you do well in ibhl math, same thing with ap english lit and lang as they are mostly just skills classes, if you take ib chem/bio its probably not easy but certainly possible to do well on the ap exams, probably some others like cs and psych too but i dont have expereince there

the only problem id say is that there might be scheduling conflicts with your ib and ap exams and you might have to go in for some strange make up times/in some cases people i know had like 10 hours of back to back testing because there ib and ap exams were on the same day

[outer folio]

My school offered to let me take ap bio freshman year but I turned it down because I wasn't interested

Now I can only take it if I specialize in biology at my school

Is this gonna affect my chances of getting into mit

[stable horizon]

thank you so much for your advice and sharing your experience!!

[remote elbow]

Possibly not, or maybe. Biology is one of the science core requirements to get into mit. However, I think you can try advanced math, chem or physics as your other courses. These subjects are also strongly recommended by mit.

It also depends on what career you want to have. If your career requires biology, then you have to specialize it. If not, other subjects mentioned (and if you research more) are other options you can take to increase your acceptance to mit.

[stable horizon]

what ib subjects should i choose/consider if i want to do comp sci/research at mit in the future?

[weary salmon]

Can anyone help me tell the difference between computer science and information technology?

[cinder gorge]

Do u workout

[arctic crater]

Is it better to switch from IGCSE/O levels to IB?

[soft jacinth]

Hey guys I’m that crazy mf who wanted to do AP Lit, AP Stats, AP Macroeconomics, AP American Gov, and Self Study AP Bio. At this point, I’ll be a junior, and I’ll have no prior experience with AP or Honors courses. However, I am incredibly serious about education and I averaged like an A- last year. I’m also taking Chemistry, Math 4 and 5 Honors (which is pretty much trig/precalc). I was wondering, would it be reasonable to self study AP Calc AB during Math 5 Honors. It wouldn’t necessarily be a self study bc I would still do Math 5 stuff but I was wondering if I could do Calc AB in my other free time ig.

I am incredibly strong in math and its easily my best subject hands down. Social studies I’m also pretty good at,

Im decent at english and I like science but it is my worst subject out of the 4

This would be 6 AP’s, 2 of which would be self studies kinda. Thoughts?

[proven totem]

bro

what

[soft jacinth]

What

I have community service hours and I’ll be on the math team and participate in the chess club (;

Thanks bro

Fist bump

[soft jacinth]

I think its a good idea

Kk

[shut pagoda]

hi i’m trying to decide if i should take ap bio or ap physics as sophmore (wanting to major in computer science).
i heard the current bio teacher is mostly self study while a new physics teacher is coming. thoughts?

[golden garden]

My school doesn’t have a very big course selection so the only ap/dual credit class I haven’t taken is world history

And I don’t like the only world history teacher is pretty bad

[sly hill]

What about Apush

Have you taken?

[golden garden]

Ya

[sly hill]

I would replace bio for physics

Just me though

But it’s a decent schedule

[golden garden]

K

[sly hill]

Classes can vary depending on where you live bc they offer different programs and Ap classes

If you want the highest weighted classes talk to ur counselor

[golden garden]

Also I’ve taken intro to chem so would it make it worth it to switch ap chem for ap phys

[sly hill]

I did that as well

Mainly bc my major will be cs

But for example if you want to get into the medical field it will be good to take AP Chemistry

[golden garden]

K thanks for the help

Precitate it

[topaz oriole]

if you're good at math and algebra you could definitely pass ap physics
teachers can definitely make or break a class, but if you're interested in bio the class would be worth it imo

[sly hill]

AP physics, it will correlate to your major but also meet a new teacher. If you feel like it was a bad decision you can always change the class during your first 2 weeks of school

[shut pagoda]

okay thank you guyss but also is it even worth it to take these aps if i’m going to do running start later on and can take the classes there?

[pallid trellis]

eh physics might be slightly more useful in cs

[tall nacelle]

exactly

you’ll use it more

[cobalt shuttle]

Sometimes I wonder how many classes I can really handle

6 AP's and 6 dual enrollment classes?

[pallid trellis]

maybe for hs cs, but in the real world, if you ever program games or anything like that then having a solid physics understanding may be slightly useful

[tall nacelle]

you are crazy

[cobalt shuttle]

That's possible

But i think the good kind of crazy

[pallid trellis]

eh #ap-exam-help message

[cobalt shuttle]

Yeah that's why i'm a little sketch bc i have to do college apps

I think we all believe that somehow we can do it all

[tall nacelle]

your 12th grade schedule is actually insane

and 11th

[pallid trellis]

lol

[shut pagoda]

okay thank you! i’ll take everything you said in mind and probably take ap bio! (then take physics later during running start)

[tall nacelle]

is anyone taking ap pre calc this year?

[pallid trellis]

I took precalc freshman year but I didn't take the AP becuase it didn't exist

[pallid trellis]

I'm planning to but I already took precalc

I just feel like taking the ap

my school doesn't make us do both AB and BC

just one

[proven totem]

Multi var calc

[tall nacelle]

that’s true

[pallid trellis]

my school doesn't make us do both AB and BC

[languid ruin]

pain

[pallid trellis]

yeah np

[fringe hamlet]

is it too big of a jump to be taking no aps to 2? i signed up for ap world but im considering taking economics or human geography as well

[pallid trellis]

no, not really

[glacial onyx]

No

[sand kayak]

do you think this a good selection of classes for junior year?

[glacial onyx]

Assuming you are willing to work and you can keep up with the work yes

[quick salmon]

Yeah in it rn, two lessons into unit 1

[pliant swift]

What courses should I take if I wanna become a software engineer

[wise forge]

seems fine

[sand kayak]

algebra 1 but i got a high A in that class

then in sophomore year i took geomentry honors

[austere tulip]

Well matters

What exactly in software engineering?

You could focus on AI, Cybersecurity, or Web Development

Fr im taking AP CsA just for the ap credit

I’ll just be fooling around in that class

[gloomy lotus]

just wanted to say that the main reason for this is that physics is really different than traditional subsects of math/science and it's why so many people go in expecting simple problems, and get bogged down.

Also why the other physics (C mainly) have higher pass rates is because the only people taking them are the people that have taken a prior physics class

[full tinsel]

Uh

How is the AP Spanish Lit. Exam?

Am thinking of self studying for it after I take AP Spanish Lang or Hon Spanish IV

[proven totem]

No

says the peanut man

[proven totem]

its very good but y do u have two lunch

sem 1 and 2?

[formal dragon]

it looks great! looks like you have some fun classes too :D

[smoky cosmos]

Rate the schedule:
Mentorship
Engineering capstone
AP psychology
AP pre-calculus
Lunch
Study hall
Physics
Symphonic Band

[proven totem]

which grade

[smoky cosmos]

12

[proven totem]

Uhhh

Ivy standards?

[smoky cosmos]

I’m not going Ivy or anything lmao

Somewhere 80-30 ranked colleges

[proven totem]

Ok syaye schopl standards?

[smoky cosmos]

Hm?

[proven totem]

Idk what some of the classes mean but it sounds ok…? Maybe one or two more aps would be better

[smoky cosmos]

Mentorship, is a class where I have an internship with a company. Engineering capstone is like 4th year engineering class.

[proven totem]

cuz ap psych and precalc i assume are easy

[proven totem]

Dang

thats great

[formal dragon]

I like it, it looks fun :O

[smoky cosmos]

Well, I’m not an Ivy student, I’m an average student probably, so I have only taken one AP before which was AP music theory, so I don’t want to push it too much

[full tinsel]

Have u taken courses similar to pre calc

[smoky cosmos]

Nope

Minus the algerbra

[full tinsel]

Alr

[smoky cosmos]

I may debate taking AP psychics ngl

[full tinsel]

Just depends on wut u want to go into

[smoky cosmos]

but it’s also senior year and I am an average student, maybe slightly above average but idk

I want to go into engineering, mechanical or aerospace

[full tinsel]

First time taking physics?

[proven totem]

Top 50 might be hard then a lil bit

[tacit jungle]

is ap seminar worth taking? i heard it was hell

[smoky cosmos]

AP seminar pretty easy from what I’ve heard

[proven totem]

u get the capstone diploma

[proven totem]

Same

[smoky cosmos]

Yes

[full tinsel]

I don't think the capstone diploma is all that worth it

[tacit jungle]

oooo

[proven totem]

Ap physics 1 might be hard

[smoky cosmos]

Ok I’ll stick to normal loll

[proven totem]

if u have not done many aps before

[smoky cosmos]

I’ve not done a core class AP before

[tacit jungle]

is there a point in taking sem and not research?

[smoky cosmos]

Seminar I recommend

[proven totem]

no

[tacit jungle]

oh.

[full tinsel]

U need to take both sem and research to get the diploma

And plus u need to score a 3 or higher on other APs I believe

[tacit jungle]

because next year i get to pick from electives and there are only like 3-4 aps to choose from and its sem, micro, macro, and cs

[smoky cosmos]

I got a 3 on AP music theory

[tacit jungle]

and i such at micromacro and cd

cs

[smoky cosmos]

I heard that class is “hard”

Seminar and comp sci great APs from what Ik

[tacit jungle]

no but im like

REALLLY

[smoky cosmos]

Micro and macro I can’t speak for idk

[tacit jungle]

bad at comp sci

[smoky cosmos]

oh

[tacit jungle]

it was the only class i got a b in last eyar

[smoky cosmos]

Have u taken an intro?

[tacit jungle]

so yk like terrible

[full tinsel]

In terms of APs at ur school

[smoky cosmos]

B isn’t bad

[full tinsel]

If there are only 4 of them

[tacit jungle]

4 for that year tho

[full tinsel]

O

Alr

Idk then

[smoky cosmos]

Ik like freshman year they are only aloud to take one AP

AP world

[full tinsel]

Same here in my school

Either AP CSP or AP Gov

[tacit jungle]

well i might actually not be that bad at micromacro

wait..

is micromacro not tech.

[full tinsel]

Yeah

It's economics

[tacit jungle]

IM SO STUPID

[smoky cosmos]

lmao

[full tinsel]

Microeconomics and macroeconomics

[tacit jungle]

I WAS THINKKING LIKE MICROMACRO GAMES LMAO

SO TECH

[full tinsel]

Macro focuses on the economy as a whole

[smoky cosmos]

Nopeee

[tacit jungle]

ok well ig ik what my aps are gonna be next year

[full tinsel]

Micro is like individual parts or smth like that

[smoky cosmos]

I wish I took more APs during my years, like I didn’t know what college was until junior year basically

[full tinsel]

Oof

Yeah I always go for the APs when possible

And am considering self studying in my free time

Maybe AP Human Geo

[tacit jungle]

idk i think i wish i wouldve started mid 10th

[full tinsel]

Imma self study a language

[tacit jungle]

i started caring in 8th grade and i twas

[full tinsel]

Either AP Italian or Spanish Lit

[tacit jungle]

annoying

[pallid trellis]

my plan is to take like 20 lol

[full tinsel]

Should I go for 20?

Am trying to go Ivy

[pallid trellis]

up to you

#ap-exam-help message

[full tinsel]

Yea

I'll self study like 3

[tacit jungle]

what....

thats 5 aps a year...

[full tinsel]

My current AP count that I plan on taking is like 12

I could self study Human Geo, Italian, and Spanish Lit.

[smoky cosmos]

Is it worth doing human geo senior year??

Self study

[full tinsel]

Yeah

Supposed to be ez

[austere tulip]

20 is very difficult to do and you’ll probably end up sacrificing a lot more time that you could’ve spent more productively

[pallid trellis]

eh

[austere tulip]

Honestly not all APs are even good or worth it

[full tinsel]

Like Pre Cal

Or Physics 2

[austere tulip]

Like this is my personal opinion but precalc, hug, and psych are pretty much jokes for aps

[austere tulip]

No thats actually difficult

[austere tulip]

And CSP

[full tinsel]

I mean

[pallid trellis]

ik precalc is a joke

[full tinsel]

Just take physics 1 and skip 2 to physics C

[pallid trellis]

also I won't take psych

[austere tulip]

Bruh they aren’t even having polar and parametrics on the exam

Like that’s the entire thing that separates precalc from Alg II lol

[pallid trellis]

yeah I'll probably do that honestly

[pallid trellis]

yeah

[austere tulip]

Well matters

Cuz 1 is more mech heavy

And 2 is more electronics heavy

[vital olive]

thingamabobber remembee me

[austere tulip]

So if you were interested in electrical

[full tinsel]

Well

[austere tulip]

The our want to see about physics II

[full tinsel]

My school only offers 1 and C

[austere tulip]

Yeah

The cracked business guy

[full tinsel]

Self studying 2 is like a suicide mission

[austere tulip]

Oh

[vital olive]

i got like 4 new ecs 🥸🥸🥸

[austere tulip]

What our school does is I one semester and II the other

[pallid trellis]

my school only offers C mech out of the 4

[vital olive]

check out my linkedin fr

[austere tulip]

Really? What r they

Ok

Will do

[full tinsel]

My school offers both E&M ans mechanics

[vital olive]

my npo + 2 startups aren’t on there tho

[full tinsel]

But

Is self studying a way to stand out?

[pallid trellis]

probably not to the ivies and mit honestly

[austere tulip]

Oh fidutam that sounds cool

Oh yeah what were ur startups on again?

[pallid trellis]

(those are the schools that I wanna go to)

[austere tulip]

Matters on what you’re self studying and for what

[full tinsel]

Languages

I'm taking Spanish Lang

[austere tulip]

Like if you want to pursue physics/engineering in the future and your school doesn’t offer all the ap physics then self study for physics

[full tinsel]

And other Honors Spanish Courses cuz I love spanish

[austere tulip]

You do have to separate yourself

[full tinsel]

Well I plan on pursuing Astrophysics

[austere tulip]

Everybody’s taking languages

[full tinsel]

But

I kinda wanna be well rounded

Am gonna take AP Chem, Physics I and Physics C

Stat, Calc AB and BC

[austere tulip]

Ok

[full tinsel]

Do you think that is sufficent?

In terms of STEM

Alr I'll self study Physics 2 in senior year alongside Physics C

Cuz they offer both E&M and Mechanics

So then

AP HUG cuz thay's easy and I could solidify my social studies courses

AP Physics 2 to complete my tour of physicd

AP Italian and maybe Spanish Lit cuz I'm Spanish Lang and want to improve my linguistic skillz

[tulip geode]

hi I rlly need help with my schedule

I am changing from cs to pre med

that I replace my ap csa to ap bio and I am not sure is the rest ok

ap jap, ap stats, ap cal bc, eng 12, ap phy 2, gov, econ

is this ok or should I replcae anything more

[pearl mesa]

Just take the classes you want to take

The classes look good to me

[tulip geode]

ok

@pearl mesa but I am not sure should I take ap econ cuz my brother said it is ez

and I am not planning to take the ap physcs exam is that ok too?

[pearl mesa]

Seems like more of a reason to take it lmao

[pearl mesa]

Yeah that’s fine

[tulip geode]

ok thx

[cinder gorge]

Poni man I'm having jitters
Most ppl say if u haven't done ur hobbies or anything at a good level where u competed, or if it isn't a club or something it really doesn't help much

And I can't find engineering programs
I'm gonna do boxing but I don't think I'll get good in it so fast cause I'll have to apply soon and I can only start from next summer

Ig boxing is a club cause I do classes and stuff but like this is crazy bruh

[gloomy lotus]

Obviously doing your hobbies at a level where you can compete is good

but another big part people forget is committment. You can be bad at something (like tennis for me), but as long as you've played since say the start of highschool, that'll show colleges that you have dedication towards it

and also starting something the summer to senior year probably won't help you much

[cinder gorge]

I mean I work towards these goals 15-18hrs everyday

And gonna be like 20-25 when I start boxing

I do this and maintain my grades

And I'm very

And I mean very serious bout all of this

[molten trench]

you actually have to know spanish for it so if you don't you need to review lol

[molten trench]

if you are strong in math or ever took ap chem/chem honors and had a high A you should be good

[gloomy lotus]

you're going to work 20-25 hours a day?

also I understand that you'll work hard, but to colleges it'll seem like you started up something new for the sole purpose of college apps

[cinder gorge]

A week dawg

[cinder gorge]

Nah
I've been doing this before america

I didn't even know I would be going to America

[gloomy lotus]

alright I was confused because you said 15-18 hours a day, then said 20-25 without specifying it was a week

[cinder gorge]

But America gave me time so I started this new stuff

Before america I did do running cause I got the time

[cinder gorge]

Sorry mb

I was running when I said that

My brain wasn't functioning

[gloomy lotus]

you good lol

good luck with boxing 👍

[timid nest]

Can i do cs major in college without any prior experience?

Can i do cs major in college without any prior experience?

[cinder gorge]

yes

[timid nest]

Like i dont even know coding can i still major in cs?

[cinder gorge]

yes

that's what introductory courses are for

to teach you the fundamentals

[timid nest]

Without any experience it would be somewhat harder ig

[pearl mesa]

Obviously doing your sports at a higher level is better. But it’s still your EC’s, so you keep doing them if you rlly like doing it

[cinder gorge]

I don't do these for college
I'm very passionate about all these things

I do them for self discipline

[cinder gorge]

Do you think these ec,
A cyber security program,
1350-1400 sat and 3.8 gpa gonna get me to a&m

[pearl mesa]

No clue. I don’t know much about a&m

[cinder gorge]

It's like a 64%

[pearl mesa]

You should just focus on finding a program, or finding a club, or smth that you enjoy

[cinder gorge]

Avg gpa around 1300-1350

[pearl mesa]

Don’t worry about if doing this or that will get you into this or that college

[cinder gorge]

Ye I'm gonna do a cyber security test program it kinda goes with engineering

Do u think just doing stuff im passionate bout will help

[pearl mesa]

Yes

[cinder gorge]

Clubs u say

Hmm

not really lol

I started self studying it and it's honestly not that bad

just go slow w it

[proven totem]

???

why?

and what resources are u using

@gloomy lotus

[gloomy lotus]

for CS (we dont have any IB physics)

[gloomy lotus]

my school gave anyone taking the exam (regardless of if you're enrolled in the class) this study booklet and im going through it

[proven totem]

u dont need physics for cs

[gloomy lotus]

some parts of it you do, and I might go into math as well

[pallid trellis]

it's kinda useful

[proven totem]

K what parts

[pallid trellis]

gravity

in games

[proven totem]

bro what u dropped ur computer or smth

[pallid trellis]

and doing a bunch of math stuff in general

[proven totem]

intresting

[gloomy lotus]

because it's basic scientific knowledge about how the world works and it's a good foundation for making mathematics applicable, and math is fairly important to computer science.

[proven totem]

Copy pasta

[gloomy lotus]

I would know because my brother is a CS major ☠️

[pallid trellis]

lol

[proven totem]

my moms cousins husband brother is a berk graduate

i would know better

[proven totem]

is it feasible for me to do 3 olympaids

[proven totem]

i have to be careful

[pallid trellis]

you said no offence to the brother

How is AP Pre-Calc and AP Lang?

[odd nexus]

What aps would you guys suggest for a sophomore who wants to major in aerospace engineering?? the answer would obviously be physics and math related courses but I can’t take them in my grade and I’ve heard they’re pretty hard to self study for

[pallid trellis]

compared to my high school's honors precalc, AP precalc is fairly easy

[pallid trellis]

you can try self studying for ap csp if you want

[full tinsel]

Basically all AP Physics

O

No self study?

Wait

Wat do they offer at ur school?

Also AP Chem is not a bad course for engineering

[odd nexus]

they do offer ap physics, but it’s in like 11th grade I believe

[soft jacinth]

True (:

[full tinsel]

Wat about Chem

Wait no

Don't self study Chem u'll die

Unless u've taken chem classes before

[soft jacinth]

I wont do that

Then idk

CSP then

I was gonna say Stat

But stat is hard

[odd nexus]

I don’t know about ap chem… if they’re offering physics they should offer chem, but I don’t remember seeing anything about it on my course selection sheets

they do offer stats in senior year

[full tinsel]

Bruh

Ur best bet besides CSP is CS A

[proven totem]

why is CSP improtant for a aerospace engineer?

pls explain

[full tinsel]

Cuz

Everything is getting digital

And Engineering is no exception

[proven totem]

Ok cool

[timid nest]

I started learning python recently and in between learning i feel some topics hard is that normal?

And how much time does it take to learn Python fully and start my own project

[worthy flare]

Learning Python is learning a language so it will take a long time, however it depends on your learning style and what project you want to do

Is this too much to handle for my junior year?

(AP) US History

Pre Calculus Honors

Chemistry Honors

Spanish

(AP) Physics

ELA Honors

PE / Health

MDA portfolio (Required)

I am taking Algebra II Honors and Geometry in Sophomore year.

[proven totem]

AP Physics 1?

[worthy flare]

yea

is that bad?

[proven totem]

uhh idk but if it was Physics C its very hard from what i heard

[worthy flare]

My school only offers AP Physics 1

at least I think it’s physics 1, the disc doesn’t tell me the specific units just: ”This course included topics in both classical and modern physics. A knowledge of algebra and trigonometry is required for the course. The basic ideas of calculus may be introduced in connection with physical concepts, such as acceleration and work. Understanding of the basic principles involved and the ability ao apply these principles in the solution of problems are the major goals of the course. This rigorous course is intended for students who have demonstrated a willingness to commit considerable time to studying and completing assignments outside of the classroom.
Students registering for this course must also register for the associate lab”

What are some easy AP classes for a sophomore who goes to a sch that doesnt offer any APs

[fossil moth]

My school offers APs just not much

[stable horizon]

What APs are u planning to choose?

[fossil moth]

I'm going to do AP World History this year but I might just do dual enrollment

[fossil moth]

AP Human Geography is pretty easy for a sophomore

[full tinsel]

APES as well

And CSP

[daring marsh]

Should I change any of my courses?

I’m new to this and only know that some colleges can find certain classes more desirable

Im a sophomore

[gloomy lotus]

generally you want to take high-rigor and classes that pertain to your major

[daring marsh]

Ah, what classes would be good for Computer Science? :0

[full tinsel]

AP CSP

Computer Science A

Also Stat would be good

[gloomy lotus]

APCSP, APCSA, physics and stats

any engineering class also works

[full tinsel]

AP Stat

I'm a sophomore

And I'm taking APUSH and AP CSp

[gloomy lotus]

thats a good schedule, all honors with APs is nice
