course-selection

[normal ember]

And only take AP World if you apply yourself and are at least a bit interested in history imo

As for dual enrollment I have no clue

[azure tusk]

what are the best ap classes to take as a freshman

[static acorn]

ap human geo is pretty easy

I would say chose at least one science ap if your school allows it cause it’s beneficial

[azure tusk]

should i take algebra 1 over the summer and then test out in ninth grade

[flat canyon]

@nimble trail

[gilded jacinth]

I did the same, but I did it in 7th grade

You can do it if you feel confide t

Confident

Algebra 1 over the summer is stressful

But geometry is easier than algebra 1 in my opinion

[static acorn]

yeah i skipped geo over the summer

[humble void]

🤮

[torpid fog]

I completely disagree lmao

calc bc covers everything AB does and more, and it is very difficult if you don’t already know the material

Taking AB prior to BC makes BC infinitely easier. Source: at my school people have to get a 5 on the AB exam to enter the BC class

[pearl mesa]

I agree, calc BC would be a nightmare of a class if I hadn't taken AB

[worthy flare]

I just co-enrolled in geo and algebra ii lmao

[full tinsel]

Tbh that kinda makes BC easier if u just take AB beforehand

Most schools usually require AP Calc AB as a prereq before BC

Mine it does

Next year I'm taking AP Precalc and Calc AB

[normal ember]

Yeah I know why many would want to take it before BC (and benefit from it) but I generally prefer working at a faster pace and learning more material, especially in math where I pick it up easily

Should've clarified further than "imo," that's my bad

And, at least in my school (and from what I've researched), the first semester of BC is the exact same as the year of AB

So for me that would be better than spending a year in AB then going to BC

[normal ember]

And it's to a point where I genuinely feel and have felt out of place in my math classes, including AP Calc AB right now

[earnest pendant]

I couldn't take any AP classes freshman year

[hazy horizon]

I skipped it

[hazy horizon]

I couldn't in ms

[earnest pendant]

My parents literally didnt allow me to

now i've gotta catch up for valedictorian

[hazy horizon]

Valedictorian is stupid

It just means you can perform well in school and are academically misplaced

[hoary fox]

does algebra 2 just build on stuff from algebra 1 or is there other stuff too

[nimble trail]

should i self study ap bio, ap psych, and ap csp as a freshman or is this too much and i should remove psych

[hazy horizon]

The first semester

The second introduces logs, imaginary numbers, x^a, etc

[worthy flare]

why all of the self-studying AP’s? Assuming you’re taking AP classes at school, this is too much imo. AP biology should definitely be taught by a teacher and not self learned. AP psychology depends per person, AP CSP is definitely possible.

Although again, why are you self studying these AP’s? I would only self study an AP class to show colleges that I’m motivated about what I like. For example, I like astronomy, and being an astronomer has lots of software engineering involved. So because my school doesn’t offer AP CSP, I would self study it.

Also you said that you’re a freshman. This is the year to branch out and find extracurriculars you are interested in, not burning yourself out, taking college level classes self learn straight out of middle school. I would calm down for a bit.

But to answer your question, we need more context. Such as what you like, classes your taking, ect.

[nimble trail]

im not taking any ap classes as my school doesnt allow you to take any courses but am taking the most rigorous possible course i can: Algebra 2-H, Biology Honors, US History 1-H, French 2-H, English 1-H, PE, Marketing and Advertising 1

[worthy flare]

As Yale said “Contex, Context, Context” colleges expect you to take the hardest courses your school offers which you are clearly doing with all of the honors classes. Do you have any idea what you want to major in?

[nimble trail]

yea business

ye ima not take psych

[worthy flare]

So you should look into AP Microeconomics

[nimble trail]

prollyy gonna do it next year

[worthy flare]

Didn’t you say your school doesn’t offer AP classes?

[nimble trail]

or is it easy enough to do it this year?

[inland gust]

How you do calculus

[nimble trail]

they do but not in freshman year and i was saying i would self study it next year

[lone lion]

by doing calculius

[worthy flare]

math 🙂

[nimble trail]

using ur brain

[inland gust]

But idk how

[lone lion]

bro

why ru askjing in #course-selection

💀

[inland gust]

Oh sry

[worthy flare]

Like AP calc?

[lone lion]

Also if u wanna ask a math question give the question

#math-help

[worthy flare]

Oh alr. I would hold off by self studying AP’s this year. Focus on extracurriculars while you can

[bold topaz]

Do your required classes first that you need to graduate

[cinder gorge]

So I've been working and pre-planning for my next semester of classes and currently as a sophmore I'm taking Honors Lit, regular World History, Spanish II, and art for that semester. Right now I'm working and focsing on getting my grades up in my current classes as high as I can right now, but I'm starting to doubt my course selection for this year and I would appreciate any advice about how I should go about my next semester in order to boost my class rank, scholarship probability, and recruitment probability up the highest as I plan on graduating a semester early and going to the best university avaliable for aspiring law students.I'm also a 2 sport student athlete and in 7 different clubs, 4 of which I hold a leadership role in, and I also voluteer at the school library. Any advice on how to balance all of this mess?

[hazy horizon]

Spanish 2 is the easiest class ever

Don't worry

Unless you end up bored at the end of the year

[cinder gorge]

alr, thank you!! maybe im just stressing unnecessarily lol

[fossil roost]

hey guys ...my high school will be over in few months ...and i still not sure what i should do in future ...i took physics chemistry biology psychology and english ...so anybody could give me suggestions and views on any course i should look forward and which would help my career

[worthy flare]

I’m pretty sure you can apply to colleges “undecided”

[fossil roost]

i have asian parents...wont settle until i got something planned till 100 yrs of my life😂

[muted lintel]

Hi I am Indian and I don't know which exam to prepare for. I want to be an astronomer by the way.

[feral lava]

You can practice medicene or something else science related

I would just explore different carrers and ask your guidence counselors/family/friends about what they do

[feral lava]

Also you should do something that you want. Dont get pushed into a carrer that you don't like because of your family

[fossil roost]

my parents are really okay with whatever u want to do thing but they want everything planned up thats all lol

[fossil roost]

oooh

[sonic furnace]

Hi! My parents are fine with whatever I choose for my career. I am a narcotics/police/law/internation relations/civil services kind of person.

I have good grades in high school and its time for clg subject selection.

Now the safe way that everybody recommended me is cs/phy/math

as later I always have the oppurtunity to switch subjects to law/political science/economics/history/eng lit etc

Now I know for a fact that I can not sit infront of a computer for the rest of my life, whethers its a job as an IT professional/software developer etc

Similarly, I cant study the next 15 years of my life to become a doctos knowing its so competitive

I want to do a field job, where its energetic as hell. In my country we have the CSS Exams, which stands for central superior servies, and its competetive boi

Now the entire ambiguity is, to whether I should switch to my fav subjects (law/political science/economics/history/eng lit) at this stage and go by what the heart says

or select sciences at this point so that I have the option later on to switch if I want to

Sry for the long msg guys, but please do help me find an answer

Also I wanted to explor the oppurtunity to go into the air force and I would have to keep phy and math for it, which I could consider although the min height requirement for females to work as a fighter pilot is 5'4. I'm 5'0 at 16 aint growing that long in 2 years.

So yea

[vale yoke]

Major in criminal justice

Or pick that

[sonic furnace]

So high school is O levels here, and clg is A levels. @vale yoke

These are the humanitarian subjects offered at clg stage..

https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/programmes-and-qualifications/cambridge-advanced/cambridge-international-as-and-a-levels/subjects/#

and these are the rest of them

[vale yoke]

Take law pysch, soc

[sonic furnace]

Alright lets do it, thankyou!

I'll just research a bit more

and finalise my desicion

[vale yoke]

Take history too

[sonic furnace]

I was thinking on the lines of these too

[sonic furnace]

yea i love history

i've heard subjects like these have an easier chance at university admissions

compared to cs and other competitive subjects

is that true?

[nimble trail]

What aps to take as a student(self study) interested in majoring in business(ima freshman)

[brazen rapids]

Hey Brenda, how's your organization plan going??

Did you ask your teachers??

[vale yoke]

good!

I did I’m doing it with key club

[brazen rapids]

Great! All the Best!

[vale yoke]

I emailed the officers so I’m just gonna ask them in person too cuz they didn’t reply

thank you!!

I also asked my pysch teacher she said she loved it

so I’m gonna do it with the pysch club

[brazen rapids]

I loved the idea too!! It's awesome

[vale yoke]

Don’t study AP Econ macro/micro micro is hard you need a teacher

[cinder gorge]

Take calculus

The exam is super easy

statistics could also be useful

[brazen rapids]

Can I get into ivy league with a state syllabus ( in india)

[nimble trail]

Bro I’ll end up taking it in junior year ab and bc in senior

Or I might study pre calc in the summer

And do ab in sophomore and bc in junior

[nimble trail]

What do I do?

I was thinking ap bio and ap csp but bio doesn’t relate but it looks good apparently to have completed

[glacial onyx]

That’s what I’m doing

There’s nothing wrong with that

Don’t bother taking pre Calc over the summer just take it during school

Or u could also do junior year ab senior year stat

If ur majoring in business u should take a stat course

[cinder gorge]

u don’t need pre calc

just do calc

[cinder gorge]

Ap bio is useless for u and very hard

[vale yoke]

do csp its better

bio is so hard except for lab report

[cinder gorge]

or u can do chem if you want

Or physics

[glacial onyx]

Most schools require u to

And Calc is easier if u have a precalc foundation

[zealous raft]

yo guys

so

my school doesn’t allow aps for freshmen

so next year when im a sophomore

i wanna take just 1

[cinder gorge]

He said he is self studying

[zealous raft]

to get a feel for them n if it goes well

would taking like 4 be manageable as a junior?

[cinder gorge]

take it by urself

[zealous raft]

i was js saying that for context for my question

i dont really wanna take one yet

[zealous raft]

here’s my question

[cinder gorge]

no

its bad to cram everything in junior year

[zealous raft]

well what if 2 of them i plan on taking are usually regarded as some of the easiest

and also satisfy graduation requirements of other courses

[nimble trail]

Na I’m talking about courses, how would I self study pre calc😂 it’s not a ap

[cinder gorge]

It is actually

[nimble trail]

Ik I am but I want to take one other ap so what do u reccomend to self study

How is pre calc an ap?

Well my school doesn’t offer it ig then

[zealous raft]

well i cant do more than 1 sophomore year because with all of my required courses i only have space for 1 ap

[nimble trail]

What do u reccomend

[vale yoke]

pre calc just got added as an AP so I don’t recommend it

[nimble trail]

My school doesn’t offer it I think

[cinder gorge]

just take it by yourself

[nimble trail]

I might just self study it next year cuz I’ll be in honors pre calc anyway

But what ap should I self study rn with csp?

Psych?

[cinder gorge]

Calc

[zealous raft]

well it wouldn’t really be because i am also planning for a lot of courses that i find interest in ALSO in that year that would be easy electives

[nimble trail]

Idk about that cuz I’ll take it anyway later no matter what why risk not getting a 5

[zealous raft]

like spansih 4, an intro to robotics class, a class ab the film industry

uhh what else

[cinder gorge]

lol 5 is so easy for calc

much easier than any other ap course

U need like 50%

[nimble trail]

Prolly it is but I’ll take it any way bro

[zealous raft]

are you taking csp currently?

[nimble trail]

Ye I’m self studying it my dad does csp

[zealous raft]

ooo

would you say it’s interesting

it’s a class i wanna take in the near future so i js am curious

[nimble trail]

I haven’t started the grind yet but I saw yt for some problems and it’s pretty free

Like no coding is even required

Just understanding it

[zealous raft]

you’re self studying so idk if it’s different but i heard the ap class for it is easy

if you pay attention

[nimble trail]

Ye but im looking to self study something else this year cuz I don’t wanna cram hella in junior year yk

But I want something related to business

[zealous raft]

so for next year for a science course i have to choose between chemistry or physics

i’m thinking of choosing physics bc i don’t rlly like math and stuff and i know that’s bigger in chemistry

[nimble trail]

I’ve heard physics are much harder tho

[zealous raft]

also physics interested me more

[zealous raft]

i like to challenge myself

so

[cinder gorge]

physics 1 is easy

[nimble trail]

Ye that why I want to study pre calc over the summer so I can take stat in senior year

[cinder gorge]

just don’t take physics c

[nimble trail]

Ye mb I meant c

[cinder gorge]

mechanics or e&m

[zealous raft]

but also i’m good at memorization

i guess i’ll get to that decision when i get there

[nimble trail]

What ap should I do other than calc lol for business

[zealous raft]

that’s in about 3 months i have to choose

[cinder gorge]

stats prob

Or maybe even economics

[zealous raft]

has anyone here taken ap bio

because i’m interested in taking it

[cinder gorge]

im working on it

[nimble trail]

I take ap Econ in junior year automatically

[zealous raft]

probably junior year bc they don’t allow sophomores to take it

[zealous raft]

is it hard

[nimble trail]

Is stats ez enough for freshman year?

[cinder gorge]

idk im self studying

[zealous raft]

are you a freshmen rn

[nimble trail]

Yea

[zealous raft]

ohh

okay

[zealous raft]

same

in hs?

[nimble trail]

Yea obv

[zealous raft]

ok

same

[nimble trail]

What courses u taking currently

[cinder gorge]

my school has 0 aps since im not in the US💀

[zealous raft]

me?

[nimble trail]

Lol how do u know so much

[nimble trail]

Ye

[zealous raft]

i’ll list the required ones and the ones i chose separately

[cinder gorge]

I took chem, calc and psych in sophomore year

[nimble trail]

But ur school doesn’t offer aps did u do it at community college or something

[cinder gorge]

no i just took the exam

[nimble trail]

Oh it allows self studying

[zealous raft]

required:

• us history
• geometry (i was accel in middle school so this is normally a sophomore class)
• 10th grade early american lit (also was accel in middle school for english so this is sophomore class too)
• biology

chose:

• spanish 2
• website design

[vale yoke]

you’re allowed to take APs as an underclasmen?

[zealous raft]

later this year i have

• health (required)
• modern history
• historical novels
• strength and conditioning

[cinder gorge]

You have 10 courses?

How long is ur school day

[nimble trail]

I took geom in 8th grade my school is hella different

[zealous raft]

yeah schools are different

[vale yoke]

wtf in my schools I was never allowed to take as an underclasmen

[cinder gorge]

does it count if you only taken the ap exam

[zealous raft]

i cant take ap classes as a freshmen

[cinder gorge]

u can take the exams

[zealous raft]

6

but website design is only 1 trimester and spanish is 2 trimesters

[vale yoke]

oh no I was talking to the other person

[cinder gorge]

some people take calc in freshman year

[nimble trail]

I’m taking algebra 2-honors, biology honors, English 1 honors, French 2 honors, Us history 1 Honors(We are using the Apush textbook😭), pe, marketing and advertising

[vale yoke]

that was self studying

[zealous raft]

ik i was just saying

that i also am not allowed

[nimble trail]

Yea we can self study

They just don’t “reccomend it”

[vale yoke]

oh ok yeah nobody is really allowed to take them as an underclassmen

[zealous raft]

most schools allow freshmen to take ap

that i know of

[zealous raft]

us history is my favorite subject

[vale yoke]

do it now that you can and you’re not stressed about college

[zealous raft]

that’s why i’m gonna take apush next year

[nimble trail]

My teacher doesn’t teach tho he just tells us to read the textbook

[zealous raft]

my school doesn’t even have french

we only have spanish and sign language

[cinder gorge]

you can take multi variable and linear algebra at college when ur in hs if u completed calc too

[nimble trail]

During class he talks about his own problem(he’s in college)

[zealous raft]

bro i’m is getting my pe credit out of the way this year

is that what you’re doing aswell?

[cinder gorge]

How can he teach if he’s in college

[nimble trail]

Wdym

[nimble trail]

Like he’s taking an extra course

[zealous raft]

i have to take a pe class to graduate

[nimble trail]

He already graduates

[vale yoke]

whattt I have to take pe all 4 years to graduate wtf

[nimble trail]

You only have to take it one year‼️

[zealous raft]

omg that sucks

[vale yoke]

I hate NJ 😭

[zealous raft]

only 1 trimester

[cinder gorge]

Its fine

[zealous raft]

so like

1 pe course

[nimble trail]

I live there too

[cinder gorge]

PE is good for you

You need exercise

[nimble trail]

It’s a free gpa boost I mean

[zealous raft]

i dont got the space for more pe

[zealous raft]

i’m in sports

track and field

[nimble trail]

I play soccer anyway

[cinder gorge]

Yeah but PE = more exercise

[zealous raft]

also i do not like getting sweaty during school and having to go to my next class sweaty and stinky

it bothers me

[zealous raft]

yeah but i’m at school for academics and to learn not to work out

i can do that out of school hours

[vale yoke]

I hate NJ I can’t wait to leave

[nimble trail]

Its boring 90/180 days we just jog around the track

[cinder gorge]

huh

[nimble trail]

There hella opportunities here

[glacial onyx]

Yes I took 2 sophomore and 5 junior and senior it’s doable

[cinder gorge]

PE is fun here like all sort of sports

[vale yoke]

true but the people are rude asf

[zealous raft]

okay

[vale yoke]

and it’s cold

[cinder gorge]

u can’t take the exam in senior year

[nimble trail]

My schools good ngl

[cinder gorge]

It doesn’t count

[zealous raft]

other ppl said it wouldn’t be but they didn’t consider the fact that i’m highly motivated when it comes to school

and i would do it to challenge myself not just look good to colleges

also in topics that i’m highly interested in

[vale yoke]

u must be from south Jersey because or you go to big school lol

[zealous raft]

so it’s not like i’m forcing myself to take ap classes, it’s because i actually am interested in the classes and want to take them

[glacial onyx]

Hardest class I’ve ever taken and I’m a straight A student

[nimble trail]

Wiat Ik this doesn’t relate rn but if your taking an ap class in senior year can you even put it on your college app?

[nimble trail]

Na

Yea my school is massive

[cinder gorge]

physics c?

[vale yoke]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[zealous raft]

i think you can because you apply at the start of senior year so you’ve already begun the class

like that makes sense in my mind

but also

considering that you could fail it

[vale yoke]

pork roll or Taylor ham

[zealous raft]

i’m not sure

[glacial onyx]

Do u want to take both ab and bc? Cause u could just not not bc and take stat. If u wanna do all ap maths tho take pre Calc over the summer

[nimble trail]

Yea but you can’t put the score right cuz you take it after

[vale yoke]

nah but tbh take Dual Enrollment

[nimble trail]

Ye that’s what I mean like I might just take pre calc over the summer

[zealous raft]

ahh right

[vale yoke]

I should’ve dropped AP pysch but tbh I didn’t want to do the other option

[zealous raft]

i don’t know much about college applications

[glacial onyx]

🤢🤢🤢

[vale yoke]

it’s way easier to get college credit on dual enrollment

[cinder gorge]

why

[nimble trail]

Apush is just bad cuz my teacher is horrendous

[glacial onyx]

Yes u can

[cinder gorge]

Psych is not as easy as some people say

[zealous raft]

i have the apush teacher rn but for just normal us history and i think he’s pretty good

[cinder gorge]

It won’t count towards admissions

[glacial onyx]

5 was fucking hard but they were also all hard ones

[vale yoke]

for me it is because I took intro

[zealous raft]

yeah

[nimble trail]

But how do u put it on your college app😭

[zealous raft]

1 of the 4 i’m planning for junior year is csp which i’ve heard is easy

[glacial onyx]

Ik that but I can still take it for credit

[vale yoke]

do apes

[zealous raft]

and it also satisfies the graduation requirements for this other course so

[glacial onyx]

U can’t

[cinder gorge]

no point then

[nimble trail]

I’ve heard most colleges don’t take it for credit

[zealous raft]

my school doesnt offer it

[glacial onyx]

Very

[vale yoke]

damnnn

[zealous raft]

here want me to list the ap classes that my school has

[vale yoke]

whattt

[glacial onyx]

There is a point I can place out of college requirements

[nimble trail]

Ima ask this again tbh but what ap should I take for business other than csp

[vale yoke]

oh probably because they caught on to people saying it was really easy and for people to take it so they went money

[nimble trail]

Im hella confused🤦‍♂️

[vale yoke]

Econ

duh

[nimble trail]

I take it no matter what in junior year

[zealous raft]

my school has:
ap bio
ap calc
ap chem
ap csp
ap euro
ap gov
ap lang
ap lit
ap physics
ap stats
apush
ap world

[cinder gorge]

Literally take econ

its actually useful unlike some other stuff

[nimble trail]

Bro I take it anyway in junior bruh😞

[glacial onyx]

Most colleges will take most ap exam scores if they’re high enough

[nimble trail]

Is Macro too hard

For freshman

[glacial onyx]

From what I’ve heard no

[cinder gorge]

if you take it now you won’t have to take it again

[glacial onyx]

Dogshit history teacher

[vale yoke]

stat too

[zealous raft]

i need an opinion on soemthing

so

[vale yoke]

omg world

[nimble trail]

Is there any use to even take any aps in senior year

[zealous raft]

should i take ap world or ap euro in junior year

[vale yoke]

take world

[zealous raft]

okay

[cinder gorge]

world history sounds fun

[vale yoke]

I wish my school had AP world and euro

[cinder gorge]

They cancelled ancient history though

[zealous raft]

i already have to take normal world history next year so i would have prior knowledge on it unlike euro

[cinder gorge]

That was sad

[vale yoke]

take both in ur hs career

[glacial onyx]

Generally u want to match or go above the aps ur doing junior year in senior year

[vale yoke]

ugh I wish I had more history

[zealous raft]

here is the ap classes i wanna take junior year:

ap world
ap gov
ap bio
ap csp

[zealous raft]

i will

[cinder gorge]

Is human geo easy

[vale yoke]

my school does 2 years of APUSH so you literally have to do it from 10th grade

[zealous raft]

history is my fav subject so i’m taking all the courses i’m able to

[glacial onyx]

Doable

[glacial onyx]

Makes sense

[nimble trail]

Lowkey i was so tuff at that in 7th grade

[vale yoke]

like if u don’t do it in 10th grade u can’t take APUSH

[glacial onyx]

My school went to humanities

[cinder gorge]

lol i like ancient history so much

[nimble trail]

Oh we do it in 9th+10th

[zealous raft]

also i would like to add the csp satisfies the 4th year math graduation requirements for my school so i wouldn’t have to take another math class after sophomore year

[vale yoke]

I mean I don’t get it because most other schools don’t do it and they don’t do it for any other AP

[zealous raft]

that’s wacky

[vale yoke]

fr they make me sick

[nimble trail]

Guys do I take ap macro, ap micro, or ap psych

[glacial onyx]

Apush curriculum is very fast

[zealous raft]

i don’t know anything about any of them so i cant provide input

[glacial onyx]

Class or self study

[nimble trail]

Self study as a freshman

[vale yoke]

Psych

[glacial onyx]

Psych would be easiest

[zealous raft]

would taking good notes throughout normal us history classes be helpful for in the future taking apush cause you alr got some decent notes that you can just add to

[vale yoke]

macro and micro is one class 2 different tests

my teacher said she’s doing micro later in the year cuz it’s harder

[cinder gorge]

U need to spend a time though

[nimble trail]

Will it serve any value for business cuz I heard it does

[vale yoke]

Psych you can take no matter what you go into

[cinder gorge]

dude i literally got a 4 for psych while 5 for calc and chem 💀

[glacial onyx]

Technically I never took apush but I would think so

[nimble trail]

Lmao

[vale yoke]

PFTT

[glacial onyx]

How 💀

[zealous raft]

would you say that i should do the ap test for apush if it’s my favorite subject

[cinder gorge]

The thing is i actually like psych

[zealous raft]

okay

[cinder gorge]

But i was more focused on chem

[glacial onyx]

Psych is just a bunch of memorization

[nimble trail]

I understand calc cuz math is Math

[cinder gorge]

since it was harder and forgot about psych

💀

[nimble trail]

But how did u do better in chem than psych😭

How many aps did u guys take in freshman year lol

[glacial onyx]

None

Wasn’t allowed to

[zealous raft]

is doing the most years of world language better than just the required graduation amount

because i am planning to do as much as i can

[nimble trail]

I feel hella lucky rn

[glacial onyx]

Depends

[cinder gorge]

Guys is human geo easy

[nimble trail]

Yea ig 2 is a good number

[glacial onyx]

What language and do u enjoy it

[nimble trail]

Ye

[zealous raft]

the way that the spanish teacher at my school teaches makes the class very easy

[zealous raft]

spanish and yeah i rlly like learning it

[glacial onyx]

From what I’ve heard yes

[zealous raft]

also my friend is also going to do it with me so

[glacial onyx]

So go all the way

[nimble trail]

Somehow my school doesn’t offer it

[zealous raft]

[glacial onyx]

But I’m 3rd in my class 😭

[nimble trail]

Bro my school 3000 kids

[cinder gorge]

What does that mean

Rank?

[zealous raft]

[glacial onyx]

How small

[zealous raft]

ap lit or ap lang

[cinder gorge]

What does rank mean

guys

[glacial onyx]

Class rank by gpa

[cinder gorge]

💀

[vale yoke]

my graduating class is 123 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[nimble trail]

Class rank

[nimble trail]

Bro what

[cinder gorge]

[zealous raft]

for someone who isn’t as good at writing but enjoys reading and doing projects about literature

[glacial onyx]

Lmfao mines 30

[nimble trail]

We have 700 ish kids bro

[vale yoke]

[glacial onyx]

Some schools do

[zealous raft]

holy crap

[vale yoke]

I moved 😑

[zealous raft]

wait my graduating class is like 150 ppl or smth

[cinder gorge]

Won’t some kids be unhappy or embarassed

[nimble trail]

An average gym class has 200 kids yes we combine all grades

[glacial onyx]

I go to a prek- 12 Christian private school with 650 kids

[zealous raft]

guys what factors come into play when deciding valedictorian

[glacial onyx]

Prolly

[zealous raft]

is it just purely grades

[glacial onyx]

Gpa

[nimble trail]

Weighted gpa

[zealous raft]

and do all years matter

[glacial onyx]

That’s it

[zealous raft]

ok

[vale yoke]

And how is ur graduating class 30

[nimble trail]

It’s weighted tho right?

[cinder gorge]

bro we elect valedictorians 💀💀

Wth

[glacial onyx]

Actually it’s 31

[zealous raft]

idek what my school does

but i think schools usually pick based on ur gpa

[glacial onyx]

The whole school is 650 kids

[vale yoke]

well no like how many people are in ur grade

[glacial onyx]

That’s not how that works 💀

[cinder gorge]

why does my school elect valedictorians

Its so stupid

[glacial onyx]

31

[zealous raft]

that’s so funky

[vale yoke]

is it not a separate high school

[nimble trail]

That’s less than just the freshman here

[glacial onyx]

I’m a senior

[cinder gorge]

it is like that in canada 💀

[vale yoke]

same but like how is it 31 🥲

[nimble trail]

My school is the best education(public schools)and sport wise in the entire state

Our sports team have such a low chance to make bruh

[zealous raft]

sports at my school SUCK

[glacial onyx]

Because it’s expensive

[nimble trail]

That’s free varsity I mean

[zealous raft]

our only good team is like our girls softball i think

[vale yoke]

ah

[glacial onyx]

Same

[vale yoke]

your hs only has 650 students?

[nimble trail]

The only walk on team in my school is cheerleading🤦‍♂️

[glacial onyx]

No surprise there

[vale yoke]

that seems a little off lol

[zealous raft]

my school has like 1000 something students

[glacial onyx]

No my whole school 😭

[zealous raft]

idk the exact number

[vale yoke]

shouldn’t it be 120 something

ohhh PFTTT

[nimble trail]

3000 here bruh

[cinder gorge]

how thats huge

[nimble trail]

Anyone wanna trade bruh

[vale yoke]

u must go to a feeder school then

[glacial onyx]

Hell nah

[glacial onyx]

?

[zealous raft]

my school is in a pretty small area

[nimble trail]

Like clubs for leadership is hard and sports too

That’s why I’m founding two clubs

[zealous raft]

what’s a good amount of clubs to be in?

[vale yoke]

like the students go to ivys or whatever

[zealous raft]

i’m in 2 currently

[vale yoke]

10

[zealous raft]

HUH

[cinder gorge]

how many clubs are there

[glacial onyx]

Oh no not really

[nimble trail]

What

[nimble trail]

Hella but every club has mad people in it

[zealous raft]

i’m in a club that is mostly seniors so next year i’ll get a leadership position

[vale yoke]

10 because that’s how many you put on common app

[glacial onyx]

They don’t all need to be clubs 💀

[vale yoke]

Oh ok that’s good

[nimble trail]

Bro I’m scared cuz I might lack in “varsity” lvl sports

[zealous raft]

oh

[nimble trail]

Cuz we also have freshman teams

[zealous raft]

so can that include sports

[vale yoke]

yes

[nimble trail]

But I don’t know if colleges care about those

[zealous raft]

okay

[cinder gorge]

Have one really good extra curricular

[vale yoke]

tbh you don’t need to have a sport

[cinder gorge]

u should be set

[zealous raft]

so i’m in 2 clubs rn and 1 sport but i PLAN on joining more clubs next year or if any more pop up this year that i find interesting

[vale yoke]

it helps you but it doesn’t hurt you if don’t

[vale yoke]

yeah

[cinder gorge]

the ideal would be a really good extracurricular

[vale yoke]

join everything and get positions

[glacial onyx]

Yearbook
Crew
Soccer
Tutoring- NHS/ Discord
Camp Counselor
Trivia
Medical Minds
Flag Football
NHS- community service
Local service org

[zealous raft]

tbh i’m only in the sport that i am bc my friends also do it so it’s js a way to hang out w them

is nhs worth joining

i’m interested

[glacial onyx]

Don’t do stuff for college do it cause u enjoy it

[cinder gorge]

100%

[glacial onyx]

I never played one

Just club

[cinder gorge]

try big competitions for something ur really good at

If u win ur set

[vale yoke]

I don’t think it’s ideal to put discord tutoring on common app idk i feel like colleges don’t like social media unless you actually run your own stuff

[nimble trail]

Yo let’s theoretically say I only play varsity lvl soccer one year but have 8 years of club lvl(5 years of academy) is it still good

[vale yoke]

NHS should just be counted as 1 no?

[glacial onyx]

Don’t care I did it so it’s there

[vale yoke]

true 😂😂😂

[nimble trail]

Cuz in junior year I might make varsity or jv

[zealous raft]

so for this club we do stuff for the school but we are also junior dda of our town so could those 2 things be put separate like

[glacial onyx]

Don’t know I’m not an admissions officer

[cinder gorge]

filling ur app with useless stuff is not good bruh

💀

[glacial onyx]

My counselors said put it as two

[nimble trail]

Ye ig u right

[vale yoke]

what is medical minds

[glacial onyx]

Club

[zealous raft]

what does nhs do

[glacial onyx]

What’s useless?

[zealous raft]

i’ve heard of it

but not really what it is

[vale yoke]

you need good grades and do community service

[zealous raft]

ohh

[cinder gorge]

Like random irrelevant stuff just to look good

[vale yoke]

honors society

[cinder gorge]

Its so common

[glacial onyx]

Nhs as an org and then I did additional stuff with tutoring

[zealous raft]

can the community service be stuff in other clubs

[glacial onyx]

What’s irrelevant?

[vale yoke]

NHS usually tutors kids for classes

[glacial onyx]

Mhm

[vale yoke]

it’s so common tbh it’s not really that impressive anymore lol

[cinder gorge]

like oh u joined this random club u have no interest in just to fill up ur application

[nimble trail]

Lowkey you guys should join boy/Girl Scouts not only do u get community service under you belt but also fun experiences and the possible award of Eagle Scout

[glacial onyx]

I didn’t…

[zealous raft]

well ppl can join random clubs to see if it’s something they’d be interested in…

[glacial onyx]

Again don’t care I did it so it’s there

I’m not trying to go to Harvard

[nimble trail]

He prolly has leadership roles in them

[vale yoke]

nah I’m just saying lmao

[glacial onyx]

My main thing is yearbook

[zealous raft]

it’s good to try out a lot of clubs that ur school offers so u can know what you’re interest in

[cinder gorge]

our school got a bunch of ivies acceptances

[glacial onyx]

6 years, assistant editor in 11, editor in 12

[zealous raft]

you never know until you try it

[vale yoke]

oh ok

[nimble trail]

As long as he made an impact and has leadership schools it’s good

[zealous raft]

ayyy i’m in yearbook

[vale yoke]

I was gonna ask I’m like mmm yearbook over NHS little strange haha

[glacial onyx]

Aren’t u not in the us

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

[zealous raft]

i’m learning photography to become one of the photographers and i’m also on the sales team

[vale yoke]

I’m my school you have to be in yearbook class in order to be in the club

[cinder gorge]

Our school is 70% asian though

[glacial onyx]

Crazy

[glacial onyx]

That makes more sense

[glacial onyx]

It’s not a club it’s a class

[nimble trail]

I also do photography but mobile

[cinder gorge]

💀

[zealous raft]

mines a club

[glacial onyx]

But I do a shit load of stuff for it outside of class

[glacial onyx]

Me too but with a camera

[vale yoke]

class with the club

[vale yoke]

That’s pretty

[glacial onyx]

Is that an iPhone?

[nimble trail]

Anyways most people don’t have camera in my school

[nimble trail]

Yea

11

[glacial onyx]

Damn that’s wild

[nimble trail]

In a good or bad way

[glacial onyx]

Good

[hazy horizon]

How many years of history do y'all reccomend?

[zealous raft]

well if you like history then take as many as you want

but if it doesn’t interest you then just take the required amount

[hazy horizon]

I don't like history very much imo

[thorn storm]

What classes AP classes are needed for Engineering and Business?

[winged nest]

Hey guys i need some help. I am taking O levels currently and i have these subjects English Urdu Bio Phy Chem Maths Islamiyat Global Perspective Pakistan.Studies Add Math's. I have decided on taking C.S as my major but i dont have it as a subject in my O levels. I can switch and take C.S instead of Bio but would it help me in my college app or would it just be a useless effort. ps. I am trying to go to U of T

[zealous raft]

my school has a course description guide on their website

maybe yours does too?

[normal ember]

Mine does too but my school has the one from the previous choices

So rn they have the 23-24 course card that I got to pick from last year for this year

Not the 24-25 for next year

[zealous raft]

yes but i would assume most courses are going to be offered next year aswell

[tall helm]

Hi, should i take AP human geo for freshman year because i want to set a good unweighted gpa with aac world geo but i feel like AP human looks better. Also, should i take AP computer science principles, i want to but then it would offset my career plan for highschool. What should i do?

[violet dagger]

Just take classes ur interested in

High skool is the time to explore

[exotic orchid]

Ap human geo is very easy, so you should be fine

[signal merlin]

is it worth taking it even if ur planning to go to math/science careers

[exotic orchid]

the more ap's you have the better. Take it freshman year, and then take the aps that your interested in later on in highschool like Junior and sophomore

It wouldnt hurt to have it on there

[west basalt]

would it be better to have multiple school choirs, a select acapella group, drama club, and a yearly school musical on your transcript or different interests like a creative writing or debate club? or even yearbook.. im a sophmore and only in music stuff and im worried about it affect my college apps, i have a perfect gpa and a bunch of aps so far idk if that matters

also im taking a lot of duel credit classes in the school year as well as during summer

cause im not quite sure what im doing in college or if itll even be music related

[signal merlin]

ok, thank u!

[cobalt spruce]

My community college has accounting major, but the credits are not transferable, so I was wondering if I take business administration and focus more on accounting, so, when I transferred to a four-year college, I could switch from business administration to accounting without having to start over.

Is that good or is there another major that would make it easier?

Then business administration

They also have economics with transferable credits. Should I take that instead of business administration, because I’ve been doing some research in people say, business administration is too broad.

[swift sundial]

which is more harder apush or apwh?

[river jungle]

APUSH is defenitely harder

[swift sundial]

I took ap gov this year what should i take next year

[river jungle]

Apush is a great class if your up for the challenge

[swift sundial]

I dont like it tbh I would rather take apwh ngl but my frnd said it was very damn hard he took it last year

[boreal gull]

Accept my dm

[restive grail]

ok so i'm gonna graduate high school in 2027 and i need to think of collages now

[nimble trail]

Bro how does your school let you choose your courses

[cedar sparrow]

Apush and by a mile

[sick summit]

What happened to hojlund did he get injured

[cedar sparrow]

what credits do you need?

[cedar sparrow]

yeah I believe so man utd are sh*t so I don't bother to watch them anymore

every week its the same exact result

L L L L W L L L L

[sick summit]

Fair enough lol well barca was like that in 2021 like the beginning of the season

[cedar sparrow]

The team is decent manager is good but owners are kinda crap

[sick summit]

yeah glazers out

[cedar sparrow]

mhm

[sick summit]

ok ima go study pce

[nimble trail]

Sancho is wilding

Can’t even say one word

[nimble trail]

Carabao cup is the only competition Man U can win now

[cedar sparrow]

the whole club is wilding lmaoo

[cedar sparrow]

we arent gonna take that seriously so idgaf

its a useless competition anywas

aight bro you a chelse fan i dont wanna see u talk now buddy

12th 14th..all this money spent almost over a billion 50 new managers yet you cant beat nottingham forest 😂

[nimble trail]

We are 1 point behind u and we are coming off a win with a mudryk goal(needed for confidence)

[nimble trail]

Crystal palace is arguably worse now and you lost to them

Plus 3-1 Brighton Atleast we beat them

[nimble trail]

Man as a fan you got to understand, I don’t care about the money but about the trophies and games I don’t care if we spend another billion

[cedar sparrow]

still you gotta explain last season buddy 😂

cuz wtf was that

[nimble trail]

We’ve placed better than you in the last 5 years

[cedar sparrow]

well they are above both of us in the table so

so they aren't a shi*ty team

[nimble trail]

Also we have spent less money than you in a decade span

[cedar sparrow]

it was 1-0 actually

not 3-1 🤓

[nimble trail]

No I’m saying u lost 3-1

We won 1-0

[cedar sparrow]

oh yeah cuz you played them in a cup game budyd

nobody takes the cup seriously 😂

and they were playing their second team

[nimble trail]

They played their a team

[cedar sparrow]

nope

[nimble trail]

We were playing our second team

Cucerella was playing

[cedar sparrow]

I don't think sanchez and diassi are second team bro

same with jackson and mduryk

and caicedo

anyways

we get it we both are shit team and we arent making top 4

[nimble trail]

He’s kinda bad ngl

[nimble trail]

Mudryk wasn’t a starter sterling is always gonna start over him

[cedar sparrow]

well you lot are rich af so you love splashing out the checkbook on on any player

if they can run bet give them a 100m contract

[nimble trail]

Until this game hopefully 🤞

[cedar sparrow]

its legit like what it feels chelsea re doing

[nimble trail]

I don’t care about money😂

[cedar sparrow]

nah im just saying tho

[nimble trail]

I care about trophies and how the team plays

[cedar sparrow]

its kinda funny how todd boehly is working this out

paying all this money yet barely winning games and giving poch the sack in a few months

wild

[nimble trail]

Like everyone clowning Chelsea fans for money got to understand that it doesn’t matter for us it’s boehly money

[nimble trail]

He won’t

[pearl mesa]

Can we move to a different chat?

[nimble trail]

I think he has the Brains now

[cedar sparrow]

😂 lmaoo

[cedar sparrow]

is there a sports chat in this server

[pearl mesa]

#general #athletics-club

[cedar sparrow]

this aint a club tho

[nimble trail]

Athletics i think

General ig

[pearl mesa]

You can still talk about athletics there

[cedar sparrow]

okay poni

[soft jacinth]

As a junior, whos never done an ap or honors course before, could I do well on the ACT AND do the AP stats, APES, AP Macro tests, and self study AP Euro history, Micro, Human geo, and Psychology tests? Im especially good at math and social studies, with my weakness being english and im decent at science. I want to major in math and plan on taking Calc BC as a senior

[sonic marsh]

relax lol you don’t even need to start thinking about them until sophomore year at the earliest

[sonic marsh]

whoa that’s a lot

are you trying to balance ec’s at the same time? because if your whole life is school and studying, then maybe

[soft jacinth]

Im on the math team and in eco club, math team meets like once every month and eco club is for 30 mins after school every Tuesday, other than that I have no ec’s atm

[sonic marsh]

ok so light ec’s like 30 minutes a week plus occasional math team comps i’d say sure do it if you know how to study and are disciplined enough

[soft jacinth]

Ok thanks (: I’ve already started self studying APHUG so yea (:

[restive grail]

I'm planning to go to a music or art college

[swift sundial]

Wdym?

[swift sundial]

So I take apwh?

[austere nest]

I gotta ask: why do you abbreviate AP Human Geography as, "APHUG" and not, "APHG". The extra U feels insignificant.

[soft jacinth]

I like the say it sounds ig

AP-Hug

I love giving hugs (:

[languid ruin]

i like say APUSH bc the class really makes me push it off a cliff

[little flame]

what do i do if im failing world

[cinder gorge]

How’s my course rigor: Ap bio, precal, apes, Ap gov, dual enrollment english, pe, Macroeconomics, international economics, ap pysch, cooking science

Junior- shooting for Princeton/ Cornell please ping me

[craggy tinsel]

What classes do I take to graduate sophomore year

[pearl mesa]

Talk to your school counselor about classes you need to take

We aren't going to know

[tall oar]

I am good at bio but no interest at it. I am interested in phy, chem and math. Should I choose PCMB or PCM

[sonic marsh]

same reason people abbreviate ap world as whap and not apwh it just sounds better in speech

[austere nest]

So.. speech. Alright.

[dim stump]

are DE classes weight mostly the same as AP? i know they arent standardized like APs but like are they viewed in the same area rigor-wise? for example would calc 1+2 in sophomore year be the same as calc BC

[feral lava]

Should I take ab or skip to bc

[swift sundial]

Apush pr apwh what should I take?

[nimble trail]

Apush is harder

[hollow ice]

If I take AP Physics C Mechanics in 12th grade, should I take AP Biology or AP Chemistry in 11th grade

[rare remnant]

I’m in 9th grade I’m taking all honors for core classes what ap should I take next year that’s available for me? I’ll take 2 max maybe 3 and I want to get into law specifically a paralegal what should I take in the next 3 years

[ocean horizon]

Ap hug is a big sophomore ap class to take

[ocean horizon]

What math are you in?

[rare remnant]

Geometry honors

[ocean horizon]

Cause ap pre-calc is now a thing

Also, why would you take all honors, do you hate yourself?

[rare remnant]

That’s what I was placed in and I didn’t need to change it and it’s not that hard for me at least

And I’ll be in algebra 2 next year not pre calc

[ocean horizon]

I guess it depends on the school. At my school, the honors classes are just the normal ones but with mountains of homework

[rare remnant]

That’s what I’ve been told as well but I’m a freshman so

[ocean horizon]

I may be wrong, but ap hug and ap euro may be the only APs you can take

I only started taking ap classes junior year

[rare remnant]

At my school as soon as you pass algebra 2 and chemistry ur able to take any ap,s above it but I’ll be taking ap worlds next year since I can

[ocean horizon]

I could have taken an ap class, the school wouldn't prevent me, I just chose not to, and I wasn't high enough in the curriculum to understand really any of the stem ones

[tall helm]

Should i do every ap i possibly can.

[pearl mesa]

No

[tall helm]

Should i also take AP human as a freshman

[tall helm]

thanks

[pearl mesa]

If you want to, then go for it

[tall helm]

Any advantages or something

[pearl mesa]

Taking AP classes show rigor, so you show that you’re willing to take a more rigorous courseload

[cobalt shuttle]

I dont think colleges give a shit about human geo in particular but it does add to the AP resume so yeah it shows academic rigor

[tall helm]

But if they dont really care about it and its so easy, why should i take it, rn im in world geo and have a 100 unweighted, its also weighted with 5 extra points. So would it be worth it to switch

[fervent jasper]

I’m doing world as a sophomore

[acoustic violet]

its grade 9 tho so the stuff is ez

[ocean horizon]

Yeah, I forgot about that and gov. My school doesn't offere them so I just forgot

[young locust]

Hey guys can I ask about indian courses?

[carmine lily]

I have an 89 in Honors english 1 but I know it will be very very difficult to get an a in the class (teacher is extremely difficult) should i level down?

[hollow ice]

I’m taking biology this year, Honors Chemistry next year, and AP Physics C Mechanics in 12th grade. Should I take AP Chemistry or Honors Physics?

In 11th grade

[balmy otter]

Should I take a ap class if I know I can handle it?

[ocean horizon]

Take ap chem, ap physics is harder, so if you can handle ap physics, you can handle chem

[strange sigil]

👍

[ocean horizon]

I would know, I took ap physics c last year, and I'm taking ap chem rn, and chem is so much easier

[strange sigil]

I suggest you keep on with the challenge

[strange sigil]

W tip

[carmine lily]

but literally it’s impossible to get an a

[soft jacinth]

Sorry I pretty much spam this chat but I have another question. Would it be doable to take APES, AP Stats, AP Lit (I might take the lit test, im bad at english) and AP Macro as classes? Additionally should I self study AP Micro, Psych, Comp Sci Principles and APHUG? I want to be a math professor but I also have a love for history and the workings of the world. Idk what college I wanna go to. This would be 7 AP tests. Im a junior and have never done an AP or Honors course before. Should I do this?

Im especially good at math, great at social sciences, decent at science, and not great at english

[cobalt shuttle]

If you've never done AP this is a real big risk

Not that AP is really that difficult but you can easily get overwhelmed by all those classes if you aren't diligent

[soft jacinth]

Ik its a risk, Is it worth

[muted cave]

can someone let me know if this is a good schedule? im in 9th grade right now by the way

[keen wolf]

it's pretty good

doing good classes early

bio was hard for me and u taking chem over summer

which is good but will make future stuff hard

[warped sorrel]

guys im currently a freshman doing alg 2 and im planning to skip calc ab to do multivar calc senior year, you think its a good idea?(planning to major in physics or comp sci)im pretty good at math rn and can find resources

[cinder gorge]

chem in 12th grade is not a good idea with all those college apps tbh
u could move it to 11th or 10th grade
and physics c without ap phy 1 and/or 2?

in our school to get c u need ap physics 1 if not 2 also

[cinder gorge]

9th is good
10th is good but i would take ap physics 1
11th grade is also good starting out with ab and good classes to get free A's on
u could either do ap phy 1 in 10th 2 in 11th and c in 12th
or just 1 in 10th and c in 11

im in ap bio and ap phy 1
its pretty doable tbh

i study only around 1-2hrs a day

just give 1000% focus in class

[low igloo]

is my schedule good? im in 9th rn

i did alg 1 in 8th

and spanish 1

give me feedback

[honest lynx]

How many periods do you have in a day

[low igloo]

4

ours is a block schedule

so 4 each day

[honest lynx]

Ah ok

[low igloo]

is it a good schedule?

any feedback?

[honest lynx]

It looks good. It has the essentials and other impressive stuff

How does mine look

[low igloo]

it looks good

english 10?

i think the numbering system is different for ours

for us its english 1 2 ap english lang ap english lit

[honest lynx]

Interesting, ours is English 10 cause it's the sophomore class

[low igloo]

OHH its like that for you guys

okay

also bye gtg

[honest lynx]

Bye

[viscid willow]

What school do u go to

My school doesn’t offer ap pre calc yet

[wicked rivet]

yo, i was just wondering if its worth going to korea to study in uni or if i should just stay in nz

[ember quail]

Should I take AP Chem along side my required college course of History 1301 and 1302?

AP Chem is optional, but, regardless of who I ask, I always get mixed opinions on if I can or can't do it.

[cinder gorge]

What courses do I take for high school freshman year in north america? I want to get into a prestigious uni, and take a few aps but I don’t want to fail and have that affect my gpa. I don’t know how many courses is normal here cuz I just moved so yeah. Please help.

[cinder gorge]

If you want to, do it.

I think I’m going to take the following: Academic Maths, ap academic science, ap academic english, geography, open course business, band music, applied french. Is this good enough to get good grades and all for prestigious uni abroad with major of natural sciences?

There’s also ap maths available but i’m not sure sbout that,

Oh yeah and healthy activity living or whatever that is.

[errant stratus]

If I’m wanting to do horse photography could there be classes in high school or university related to photography?

[cinder gorge]

Probably, if not though you could find like a club or smth

[errant stratus]

Ok I’ll prob email my counselor

[wicked patrol]

Bang upon Aerospace Engineering 🔥

[lament dove]

do you guys think i should study economics

[pearl mesa]

If that’s something that interests you, then yes

[lament dove]

did anyone here do econ

[pearl mesa]

I’m not sure

[cinder gorge]

Been doing it for a few weeks, worst subject, even after doing RE. So boring.

[lament dove]

actually

wait r u doing it in college

or like ap econ

[fickle pulsar]

my school only allows 2 aps per year, so what four aps should i take (im interested in medical field)

[pseudo echo]

bio and chem fs

[smoky acorn]

Bio, chem and psychology and seminar or research

[pearl mesa]

You can’t take research without seminar so don’t do that

[smoky acorn]

Or just take seminar

[pearl mesa]

I wouldn’t recommend that either

[smoky acorn]

Why not?

[pearl mesa]

Seminar is a step up class to research for the AP Capstone diploma

In my opinion, your time is better spent on another AP class if you’re not going to take AP research

[smoky acorn]

So if I’m gonna take ap seminar, I should also take research

[pearl mesa]

Imo, yes

[placid nexus]

Is college calculus good for a freshman in college

[low igloo]

take ap human geography

I barely know anything for maps and i somehow got an 88 in the class and learned more about the maps

so its rlly beneficial

went from knowing where 1 country is to 8 :DDD

[wide cape]

What's the difference between weighted and unweighed gpa

[low igloo]

weighted is affected by rigor and grades

unweighted is just grades

like if you take all aps and get 100s you'll get 6.0 gpa

but if you take all honors and get 100s youll get 5.5 gpa

but unweighted for both will be 4.0

[lone lion]

tf is a 6.0 gpa 😭

oh wait u have more classes

[clear coyote]

ik right

[clear coyote]

Imagine being able to say u have a 6.0 gpa 💀

[cinder gorge]

I would but it’s not an option so I’m taking plain geography,

[solar vault]

should i take an easy ap in freshman year for general education credits

or take a dual enrollment class

that relates to my extracurricular interest

(electronics engineering)

[lone lion]

up to u

[simple lantern]

i know you can double block math, but can you also double block science, for ex. Bio and chem in one year

let me know

[lavish kite]

How do colleges recalculate gpa?

I’ve been doing some research on this but different websites say different things

[soft jacinth]

Realistically, how many AP classes should I self study this year. I’ve never done an AP or Honors course before. This year I’m taking (Math 4 and 5 Honors) (precalc), APES, AP Stats, AP Macro, AP Lit (I might take the test idk) I want to major in math

[pearl mesa]

Varies between colleges, I don’t think anyone really knows

And it also doesn’t really matter

[pearl mesa]

You might be pushing yourself too much

Having never taken an honors or AP course before

And now you’re doing 4 AP’s

And an honors

Just smth to think abt

[soft jacinth]

With our school, you can’t change your schedule 5 days into the school year, so I’m kinda stuck with it

Also I really want to do it super badly, I get really jealous of everyone else whos ahead of me I just really want to do this

[pearl mesa]

Good luck 🫡

[soft jacinth]

Could what I have already be too much?

[tropic fjord]

What courses should it take for my junior year? (I am majoring in computer science)

[pearl mesa]

You’ve never taken an honors course

And now taking on 5 AP’s

I do think it’s too much

[tropic fjord]

Should I take 7 ap classes?

[pearl mesa]

No

[soft jacinth]

4

Atm

[pearl mesa]

Still

That’s a lot

[soft jacinth]

Ok, thanks (:

[pearl mesa]

AP CSA/AP CSP are good AP classes for CS

Otherwise any other CS classes your school offers would be good

[tropic fjord]

I am taking Csa this year though

[pearl mesa]

That’s good

I liked that class

[tropic fjord]

Ap psychology, Ap environmental Science, Ap physics 2, Ap Calculus Ab, Ap Lang, Ap macro economics, Engineering, Ap chemistry, and ap Macroeconomics

For next year?

Or ap stats instead of ap chem

[pearl mesa]

8 AP classes

That’s rlly not necessary

[tropic fjord]

Oh

Isn’t it better if you take more and do good in them?

[pearl mesa]

It’s good to take more

[tropic fjord]

I and also taking Ap us history and Ap pre cal over the summer

[pearl mesa]

But you don’t need to take every single one

[tropic fjord]

Oh

[pearl mesa]

It simply isn’t necessary

[tropic fjord]

Okay

I want to get into a good college

My sister made it into mit so my parents have high expectations on me as well

[pearl mesa]

Congrats to her

Not an easy thing to do

[simple lantern]

and like the double blocking for science in freshman year

[patent badger]

is this schedule for junior year too littlr i am going to major in medicine and go the pre med route or smth like that: AP Calc BC, AP Bio, AP Lang, AP Stats, AP Econ, and maybe AP physics C

im rlly just debating if i take physics c

[feral lava]

Idk if youll needs physics c

Take Anatomy if your school offers it

Or some other science course thats not too rigourous

Likes apes

[patent badger]

yeahhh i see ur point but i heard that college board was gonna release AP anatomy sometime soon

[feral lava]

Yeah im waiting for that as well

[smoky acorn]

when is AP anatomy gonna be released? which semester/year (spring or fall semesters)

[naive kestrel]

looking over my sophomore year courses rn, tell me if it is too much
Honors Algebra II
Honors Chemistry I
Physics I
AP World History
Cyber Systems Technology
Spanish III
AP CSP

Online courses through a county source:
English 10 Fall Semester
Economics Spring Semester
Precalculus BC summer before Junior Year

[abstract dagger]

algebra 2 and chemistry should be no problem as long as you make sure to study if you don't get one of the concepts
physics is one of the harder science classes, but i think it kind of depends on the school.
i took ap world history last year. it depends on the teacher but as long as you study you should be fine
spanish 3 should be okay and ap csp is easy so it should be no problem

that schedule seems okay to me, it's just that it could be slightly overwhelming. should be fine as long as you work hard and study though! good luck :D

[strange sigil]

Fall 2024, it's currently under a pilot program in a couple dozen schools, and then thy take their AP exam in May, and then the course is released to everyone in the subsequent fall. Just like AP Precalculus was released 3 months ago

@smoky acorn

[smoky acorn]

Yo thanks

[strange sigil]

No prob, it's all on the college board site

[smoky acorn]

Can you dm me the link

Or can you send it here. @strange sigil

[pearl mesa]

Just look it up yourself

[smoky acorn]

I tried but I couldn’t find anything

[pearl mesa]

There’s lots of websites on it

[smoky acorn]

What’s the name of the course

[pearl mesa]

I don’t believe you didn’t find anything

[smoky acorn]

Is ap anatomy it

[pearl mesa]

AP Human Anatomy & Physiology

[smoky acorn]

Oh ok

Ok I found something

[smoky acorn]

Thx

[strange sigil]

They kind of don't have it set on their site, but they did announce it in spring of last year to news sources

[outer spoke]

What about mine ? I’m a sophomore too

Spanish 3
Accounting 1
AP Pre Calc
AP US history
Engineering design
AP chemistry
English 10

Self study:
AP microeconomics

During Summer:
Government

[dim stump]

would calc 3 + college chem + college bio + anatomy/physiology be too much for first semester junior year STEM-class wise

for context i have a 100 in calc 1 rn (i never formally took bio but i'd say i have some good grounding in it) and a 95 in chem honors.

[unborn temple]

I started grade 9 this year in the usa, Came from another country. How do I get recommended for AP next year, And also tips for electives please

[strange sigil]

Try to make your electives diverse, and make sure it's thins that you like and you see yourself using

[simple lantern]

@pearl mesa can you double block science in freshman year

[pearl mesa]

Ask your school counselor

[unborn temple]

@pearl mesa Any advice or tips?

[pearl mesa]

Sometimes you don’t have to be recommended
