Es sucks

Preschool sucks

Working at mcdonalds sucks too

I rather play wit my bread

[plain hemlock]

Thats good

[wispy jolt]

man I don't know what to do in college haha

[cinder gorge]

hello, i am wondering if i have to take apes. i am a sophomore and 99% of juniors take apes or earth science honors. i want to take ap physics next year instad since i am more interested in it. i know that aech college has their own requirements but ive done research and most say they want just one lab course. does that mean i dont have to take apes to apply to most colleges in general? anyone know of schools that do require apes/earth science

[tardy ether]

Yo I can only pick 6 of these, which one should I drop?
Ap World History
Ap Environmental Science
Ap Chemistry
Enhance Alg 2 & AP Precalc
Engineering Concepts
Spainish ll
10th grade Lit GF

[final helm]

The literature

[tardy ether]

That what I was thinking to lol

[ancient hedge]

So I’m planning to take AP Seminar, AP US Gov, Bio H, Geometry H, and French 2 my freshman year but also want to do marching band. Marching band wouldn’t be every day, it would be about 4-5 hours a week and it ends in November. Would that be wayyyyyy too much?

[sour prism]

is it a class

or just after school

[ancient hedge]

After school

[sour prism]

do it

[ancient hedge]

Ok thanks!

[sour prism]

cause you can always drop it if you need to

[ancient hedge]

Yeah

[sour prism]

are you in 9th grade rn or 8th

[ancient hedge]

8th

[sour prism]

go for it

even better if you play an instrument already

[ancient hedge]

I do, so it could be manageable.

[sour prism]

just make sure you start to develop time management skills now

so you can decide if you have time for it (if youre doing other stuff) by the time next year rolls around

[ancient hedge]

Ok. Thanks for your help!

[sour prism]

🙏

[vestal crypt]

light work

ima have 3-5 XC/track then 5-7 robotics next year 💀💀

+solofest and percussion ensemble practice

no freshman APs tho 😭

[modern jay]

apes

[vivid pivot]

I agree.

We were offered APUSH instead of AP World 🤡

😭

[bitter grove]

literally the only AP i had the chance to apply for was AP language

i don’t inherently need APs for my college plan but Man

AP gov and AP lang are such nerd APs

[plain hemlock]

Very good

Might wanna do an ap

[halcyon tulip]

our school doesn't offer ap's

for freshman

[plain hemlock]

Self study csp?

[tall river]

Thoughts on this 4 year plan? I have interests in stem

Courses in white text r pretty much locked in

[plain hemlock]

Its rly ez

[tall river]

Khan academy has it as well

[halcyon tulip]

computer science?

[plain hemlock]

Si

[plain hemlock]

Dont self study csa

[tall river]

Ok

[halcyon tulip]

Not interested in computer science, but will do outside of school

just in case

[tall river]

I’ll just take it my sophomore yr then?

Do u play any instruments like in orchestra choir or band

[halcyon tulip]

I play piano

[tall river]

Ok

[halcyon tulip]

not choir or band

[halcyon tulip]

yo are you 8th grader

[tall river]

Yeah

[halcyon tulip]

same

[halcyon tulip]

you guys have golf

sick

[tall river]

Yeah

[halcyon tulip]

our school isn't that rich

[plain hemlock]

Hey guys can you give me advice. I am a freshman taking. bio honors and i am thinking of dropping to have more time for extracurriculars. Also that class is affecting my performance in other classes as well. I asked my college counselor and she said its fine. The class isnt weighted too and its not a prerequisite for anything

[halcyon tulip]

What is your grade

because that would be important

if you want to drop out

[coarse sigil]

u sure u want to take AP physics? Arguably one of the hardest aps out there.

[halcyon tulip]

is it hard

[plain hemlock]

Had a 93 but it dropped my grade in a diff class

[halcyon tulip]

it

[coarse sigil]

its free if u study

[tall river]

Yeah I’m like a math and science nerd I prob got this

Keyword is probably 💀💀😭😭

[coarse sigil]

If u a math nerd, u wouldve prob taken ap calc freshman year

no cap

[lone lion]

how is honors not weighted

[lone lion]

worse kind of people

[halcyon tulip]

mb their school does unweighted gpa

[lone lion]

worst**

[tall river]

I’ve already like looked at calc and it ain’t that bad the school just won’t let me take it lol

[lone lion]

not judging their abilities its just their personality tends to be 🤮

[coarse sigil]

yep

[lone lion]

all high hearted and think they r all that

lmfao

[tall river]

I’m also gonna take a test this summer to skip alg 2 and Precalc so technically I’m taking calc ykyk

[lone lion]

bruh

theres really no need to do that but u do u 😭

yep

👍

depends

on ur teachers

[tall river]

I think I’m a nice guy trust 👍👍

[lone lion]

and school

dont ask us ask ur counselor

we arent accurate

idk why ppl ask abt "how hard is this class" 😭

its teacher based

if u get a good teacher

its easier

if u get a bad teacher

its harder

[halcyon tulip]

ty

I understand

[tall river]

How hard is ap world? I know it’s considered easier than apush but a bunch of kids I’ve heard stress abt it and scare ppl abt it

[lone lion]

i took honors world dk

[tall river]

Meanwhile I’ve never heard an apush complaint

[lone lion]

nah apush is hell

actually nvm depends on ur school

[halcyon tulip]

Is APUSH the hardest

[lone lion]

out of what

[tall river]

My hs must be nice

[lone lion]

the histories?

[halcyon tulip]

I heard my cousins stressing

[tall river]

Hardest social studies imo

[lone lion]

out of all history classes yea

[coarse sigil]

is calc 3 = multivariable?

[tall river]

Ye

[coarse sigil]

whats after that

calc 4?

[tall river]

Uhhhh idk

[lone lion]

look it up

[vestal crypt]

i should really make one of those charts ive thought about my classes but thats cool

[tall river]

lol it’s pretty ez to make

[raw depot]

should I take Athletics in freshman year hs

idk if it will take too much time

[vestal crypt]

is that like PE?

[raw depot]

nah like sports

jv varisty etc

[vestal crypt]

so a sports team

or a class

[raw depot]

yea

will it take too much time?

[vestal crypt]

its good to get into a sport

and its pretty managable a lot of people do it

[raw depot]

alr ty

[tall river]

Agreed ^^^

[teal oar]

Should i continue with ap capstone into ap research?? I kinda hate seminar rn, is the full experience worth it?

[vestal crypt]

What do you do in seminar

[teal oar]

Academic research and argument-based papers and stuff??

[spark parcel]

you should do it especially if you like the sport - good opportunity to form stronger bonds with others who share similar interests

[raw depot]

Is span 3 and 4 worth doing?

[simple obsidian]

guys I have got 4 credits from a language test. does this count as foreign language requirement for colleges

[south cape]

Definitely, most colleges like it

[visual arrow]

need help rn, Do I need to take ap physics c or can I only take phsysics 1 and ap chem(wanna be cs major)

( before i start im a freshman) asking this because i can either take physcis in the universe(usually taken in 9th grade non honors science) to ap stats junior to aphysics c; chemstry (most people take this) to ap chem junior to ap phyiscs 1 senior; or chemistry sophmore , normal physiscs junior to phyiscs c senior
i scrweed up so i cant take ap physics 1 junior

if i can get an advice it would be helpful

[hot summit]

@old crag I’m currently a freshman. What science path should I take?

Honors biology > Honors Chemistry > AP Physics 1 > AP Physics 2

OR

Honors biology > Honors Chemistry > AP Biology > AP Physics 1

[final helm]

2nd one

[cedar sparrow]

ik you only a freshman but what are you gonna major in

[visual arrow]

@old crag

[hot summit]

business

[hot summit]

no point of golf and orch. take an ap

[cedar sparrow]

shows comittment to colleges

id keep it

and it'll be fun

and plus usually its a free 100 too

so

[hot summit]

golf is useless for college

[cedar sparrow]

and too many aps is not always the way

[cedar sparrow]

i mean.

like

[minor terrace]

golf is for old ppl

[hot summit]

fr

[minor terrace]

XD

[hot summit]

@cedar sparrow yappin

[cedar sparrow]

nah

[hot summit]

[cedar sparrow]

my brain is just fried rn

from doing chem math tutor

and its 12 am

so

i might as well

[hot summit]

bro golf will not get him into college unless he wins tournaments and stuff like that

[hot summit]

teach me

[cedar sparrow]

HE WILL

HES HIM

[hot summit]

@cedar sparrow what classes u take

I see youre a sophomore

[cedar sparrow]

this year

im doin ap world, ap comp sci a, ap seminar, chem honors, alg 2 honors, english 2 honors, business & marketing, spanish 2, and pe

[flint granite]

is doing bio ap and chem gt at the same time a good idea

[wintry sleet]

very nice schedule

[tall river]

ECs????

Need the credit requirements anyways

[coarse sigil]

I mean if ur playing at a National level, golf helps

[final helm]

Some schools let you take core classes and count them as elective credit

[cedar sparrow]

yup its fun and not too difficult so far

[wintry sleet]

I can tell ur a little kid

[minor terrace]

No

I'm not

[languid ruin]

mini golf is fun
golf is for richass people lol

[minor terrace]

lol

[pearl mesa]

Meh lots of people golf who aren’t rich lol. But the people who go to the very expensive country clubs and fancy golf courses are def rich

[teal oar]

How hard is ap comp sci principles? What do you learn in it? Apparently it’s easy but i want to use it as a chill course, does it work as one?

[flint granite]

ap comp sci is ez af

probably the easiest ap

[wintry sleet]

bro im in varsity golf highschool

[languid ruin]

im just poking fun at golf since i have friends who do golf

[vestal crypt]

its not about the point or even what colleges think, its your interest.

we are people not robots for their system

[wintry sleet]

it’s such a good sport

[languid ruin]

it can be really peaceful

[torn furnace]

If I was you, do Spanish 4 DE into AP Spanish

you can do it online,or ater school

[south cape]

Not sure if this is true, but AP CSP may require Scratch coding like stuff

[simple obsidian]

light

its block coding

[errant stratus]

is there other courses possibly for someone who wants to do cybersecurity? (prob no more cybersecurity during senior year and maybe no more computer science either idk)

[vivid pivot]

Hey y’all, I was wondering whether I should select AP Econ (micro & macro) or AP World history for junior year. Our school didn’t offer AP World for sophomore year, but I wanna take another AP that’s probably either useful or just easier. Def not AP Gov tho I think that’s boring.

[snow vale]

So I’m in it rn and it is such an easy class. I didn’t know coding before but they will go through it all and it’s super basic and simple.

[vivid pivot]

Yeah a lot of my friends say they basically use it as a free period

[snow vale]

It’s so fun with friends tho you just mess around all period

[vivid pivot]

lol

Is anyone else here currently taking AP Econ or world?

[halcyon tulip]

I am in 8th grade going into 9th grade
Is this good for courses
English 9 Honors
Math 2 Honors or Alegbra 2 Honors
Biology Honors
Spanish 1
Biomedical Sciences Honors
Global Studies/Health
Freshman P.E

[tall river]

I’ve heard ap Spanish is rly hard

[vestal crypt]

My freshman courses
P.E/Tech-eng seminar (alternating)
Spanish 2
Theology 1 (priv school required)
Global Studies 1
English 1
Percussion Ensemble
Biology Advanced
Algebra 2/Trig Advanced

[copper beacon]

personally i didn’t find it that challenging

[vestal crypt]

AP CSP option but I would need to drop percussion ensemble, and im very talented at percussion + we are competing sophomore year

[final helm]

Ap world

[final helm]

It is

[flint shard]

AP Span is very hard, take SPAN 4 through DE

[wintry sleet]

yes

[tall river]

What’s DE

[wintry sleet]

I think u should take ap csp only if u have a free class available

[vestal crypt]

i dont 😭

[wintry sleet]

yk what bro I wanted to take that class but I don’t have any spots left for it

[teal oar]

Taking econ right now! I like it and find it pretty simple and very straight forward

[torn furnace]

dual enrollment

[torn furnace]

💯

[tight mango]

Im currently a freshman and im in an Algebra 2/trig class, how big of a jump is Ap calc AB vs pre-calc honors next year?

[spark parcel]

i feel like so many activities require you to be rich

[dull eagle]

nah fr

[dull eagle]

why dont u take ap pre calc

[spark parcel]

did ballet and figure skating and ohh myy it can get very pricey

[dull eagle]

then u can go ap calc bc junior

thats what im doing

[spark parcel]

cost of class, cost of the pointe shoes/skates, cost of the ice rink of outside of class practice :((

[dull eagle]

figure skating is wild

😭

[dull eagle]

comps and shi too

should i take spanish 1+2

im technically on track to have my lote done by next year bc computer science counts as it

[shell bear]

ima try to get into stanford its my dream college any tips( in 8th grade btw)

[dull eagle]

but im not sure if colleges would accept it or not

[spark parcel]

it's so fun omg

[spark parcel]

no like frfr

[dull eagle]

i went ice skating onece fell like 20 times bru

[spark parcel]

the most... unexpensive sport is probably swimming or running idk

[spark parcel]

LMAOAOOA SKILL ISSUE

but also, practice more

[dull eagle]

shut up

[spark parcel]

it takes a while to get used to being on ice

[spark parcel]

aw ily too

[dull eagle]

prolly

[spark parcel]

yeah!!

it's really fun to go ice skate with your friends

[dull eagle]

[jagged marsh]

Don't go to Standford as an undergraduate. It's way more expensive. Go to a community college, to get a bachelor's, then proceed to Standford.

[spark parcel]

omg my biggest issue rn :((

i wish we could take more than 8 courses a year...

if we got to choose 10, life would be perfect

[dull eagle]

is ap csp free

like i heard

bc idk whether to take ap cs a or principlws

[spark parcel]

capstone?

[dull eagle]

nwxt year

[dull eagle]

comp sci principles

[spark parcel]

ohhh

oh myy

compsci

[dull eagle]

dummy

[spark parcel]

it depends on whether you're good at it ig

[spark parcel]

girl i have not been studying AP courses okay

i've only been looking at IBs

cuz that's what im focusing on

in the future

[dull eagle]

whats the diff

between ib and ap

[spark parcel]

i guess course content/methods of teaching?

i dunno

im still a freshman

[dull eagle]

same

[spark parcel]

whoa

[dull eagle]

u 08 or 09

[spark parcel]

08

you

?

[dull eagle]

09>>

[spark parcel]

dang

09 kids are either super awesome are super questionable

[dull eagle]

i know sm 08s bru

[spark parcel]

my bday is really late in the year tho LOL

[dull eagle]

damn

[spark parcel]

me but w/ 09s

[languid ruin]

so true

[spark parcel]

which sucks sm but oh well :((

running is probably the cheapest one..? idk

[languid ruin]

yeye

track?

hell naw lol

[spark parcel]

i have asthma

running is my arch nemesis

[languid ruin]

im sorry

[spark parcel]

no no issok

my parents force me to swim to help with it LOL

[lilac remnant]

guys im going to freshman

[spark parcel]

ohi!

[tight mango]

Our school doesnt offer it, we only have pre calc and pre calc honors

[languid ruin]

oh

[lilac remnant]

im planning to take english 1 tag, alebra 2 tag, Tag biology, Ap himan geo, spanish 3, Band(double block) and im unsure what elective to take im torn between Ap principles of Cs and debate

what should i take

[spark parcel]

wait what does tag stand for?

[spark parcel]

are you more interested in one or the other? and does your school require specific credits (eg. public speaking or robotics) to graduate?

[halcyon tulip]

is it tag/honors?

[wintry sleet]

fr but 8? my school is only 7 classes max

[spark parcel]

noooo that's really sad... i might ask if i can get rid of my lunch period and replace it with a class instead

[wintry sleet]

noo but u gotta eat

[spark parcel]

i have break time tho and i can eat really fast >:D

so it's unnecessary frfr

it's just the workload would be really high

cuz i usually do hw during lunch

[wintry sleet]

oh alr

[lilac remnant]

tag is like accelerated 2

For our school we require 4 english, 2 math,4 science,4 social studies,2 lote, and 1 fine art

for sophomore i dont plan ln taking band

[spark parcel]

ah i see i see

i think CS would be more helpful overall?

[lilac remnant]

yeah

[spark parcel]

not sure though, because im personally not doing either courses

debate is also cool but it's something you can do outside of school/as an extracurriculur imo

[lilac remnant]

yeah

[spark parcel]

cause a lot of my friends do MUN or policy debate outside of school

so go for CS i suppose?

[lilac remnant]

should i do it for 2 years for the 2 ap classes

and then leave cs or do it for 4 years

[topaz steeple]

I’ll be going into senior year next year and I only need a handful of credits, does it look good on college apps to completely fill up my schedule? I’ll have 3 extra class spots open (1 per trimester), does it make sense to take another class or will it not really matter?

[vestal crypt]

3 study halls?

[topaz steeple]

Yeah pretty much

[vestal crypt]

there’s probably an AP or an interesting elective to take up 1/2 of those

[lilac remnant]

should i do as many aps as possible

[vestal crypt]

it can be too much, depends

[topaz steeple]

Hmm I could do stats, is it a class worth taking?

[dull eagle]

yeah def take stats

[vestal crypt]

AP or reg

[topaz steeple]

Ap

[vestal crypt]

thats good

[topaz steeple]

Got it, what kind of difficulty level should I expect?

[vestal crypt]

but ideally more is better

[dull eagle]

logic dont work in stats

like

idk how to explain

[topaz steeple]

Dawg what

[dull eagle]

for ex

Say I had a machine that could pick out all of the very rare cards in a pack of Pokémon meaning I can buy only the packs with say a shiny charizard. And the packs had a .023% chance to have that card
What is the chance the other packs have that card

[lilac remnant]

how many aps is good

[topaz steeple]

I have the choice between AP bio or AP stats and bio seems fairly boring, I guess I could do AP world but that looks goofy as a senior lol

[dull eagle]

depends

[dull eagle]

take stats

its helpfl

[topaz steeple]

Bet

[dull eagle]

thats what upperclassmen told me

[topaz steeple]

Yeah I’ve heard a lot of good stuff about it

[wintry sleet]

stats or calc ab

[topaz steeple]

What grade?

[lilac remnant]

like how many do people from ivies take

[dull eagle]

did u take bc

[lilac remnant]

im foong to freshman

[wintry sleet]

no but isn’t ab first

[lilac remnant]

going

[dull eagle]

no

ab is like intro or beginning

bc is like the full

course

bc better but harder

[topaz steeple]

I mean ultimately it doesn’t matter very much because a lot of schools only offer a couple of AP courses but if your school offers a lot then go for 8-12 imo

[lilac remnant]

okay

[topaz steeple]

Start at like 1-2 as a freshman and if you can handle it then go for more

[lilac remnant]

i also want to do a reserarch project and start in freshman who do i email for that

[dull eagle]

whats ur major

[topaz steeple]

Personally I have a lot of friends that have parents/connections with my state university so they were able to contact them and get a spot, see what’s available near you and utilize ur resources

[vestal crypt]

very few schools even have 1-2 freshman

[topaz steeple]

Very true, I didn’t even have the option as a freshman lol

[deft maple]

Should I get a minor in college

I want to major in aerospace and I was considering minor in music because I already play an instrument

I want to continue playing an instrument throughout college to

[final helm]

For us AB is a pre req for bc

[full tinsel]

Should I double AP Physics I with Adv. Topic in Chem (prereq to AP Chem) and AP Chem (all classes are semester long)

[cinder gorge]

hello, i am wondering if i have to take apes. i am a sophomore and 99% of juniors take apes or earth science honors. i want to take ap physics next year instad since i am more interested in it. i know that aech college has their own requirements but ive done research and most say they want just one lab course. does that mean i dont have to take apes to apply to most colleges in general? anyone know of schools that do require apes/earth science

[ocean veldt]

should i take ap physics C, is AP Physics I really worth my time and effort.

[modern jay]

Yea

If you want to go to the mathematical field

[fathom anchor]

should i be in a athletic course every single year

i think it will help with my college resume

Im going into 9th grade

i want to take health science and computer science

but

i have to take others class such as spanish, speech and health class

and i dont know if i can fit it

but i could free a space up by not taking athletic class

I dont know if i should though

because i want to play sport

[torn ivy]

Hey guys (I am a junior High Schooler) , i wanted to give a CS A AP this year and apply to college (early admission) in nov or dec. If i get accepted and then i Give another AP in 2025 may, Will the 2025 AP benefit me in any way?

[fading topaz]

@hot summit

[hot summit]

Should I take 14 APS + 14 electives throughout high-school (this includes PE and Foundations which are required electives) for my whole high school career

OR

take 15 APS and only 12 electives

I’m currently a freshman. What science path should I take?

Honors biology > Honors Chemistry > AP Physics 1 > AP Physics 2

OR

Honors biology > Honors Chemistry > AP Biology 1 > AP Physics 1

@fading topaz these are my questions! 🙂

[fading topaz]

Do you know what you intend to gobinto after college?

[hot summit]

Business or law most likely

[fading topaz]

In that case the AP Paths you picked shouldn't matter too much

[scarlet bramble]

Hi im new here

[fading topaz]

In regards to elective-AP ratio, does your school have an honors diploma?

[hot summit]

Honors diploma? No

[fading topaz]

Then probably just stack APs if you can handle it

[hot summit]

Why so? I want to be in top colleges and if they see I only took ten APs out of the 31 I have offered, that’s not a good look

Out of 27

Because I take Spanish

But still

[fading topaz]

You're going into law, and college that denies you based on the fact you took AP Bio over another year of AP Physics you weren't going to be accepted anyway

No disrespect

You got a lot of time to sort this out man

[hot summit]

Oh I didn’t know I were talking about that 😭 I was referring to the first question

U*

[fading topaz]

Huh?

[hot summit]

This one

[hot summit]

U we’re talking abt this one

[fading topaz]

Yeah I said just stack APs

[hot summit]

Oh ok

Ty

[fading topaz]

If you had an Honors Diploma available, you should try and meet those requirements first before stacking APs but since you dont

Go crazy

[errant stratus]

What could be some other classes or such I can take if I'm wanting to do Cybersecurity in senior year of highschool?

[fading topaz]

AP Compute Science

Programming wouldn't hurt

[errant stratus]

Ok I can probably do programming but idk bout ap computer science as uh that may be 2 difficult for my brain tbh

[fading topaz]

What grade are you?

[hot summit]

AP comp sci principles is easy.

You can get the hang of it pretty easily.

[errant stratus]

11th rn thinking for senior year

[fading topaz]

Ah

What computer based courses do you have available?

[errant stratus]

Even with autism, ADHD, bad memory and idk what else?

[errant stratus]

All ik is Cybersecurity 1 and 2 and then computer science 1 and 2 I think? There might be more that I haven't seen yet

[fading topaz]

Well ofc you should take Cyber security, but you should probably do some thinking about whether you're willing to take on AP CS

If not, then CS 1 and 2 is fine

[final helm]

2nd

[errant stratus]

Oh ok

[vestal lance]

what is a good starter CTE class i could take next year for an Honors diploma?

people at my school say Digital imaging sucks

definitely painting too

[spark parcel]

wondering if it's worth getting an AP/IB of all 3 sciences, or just have several AP/IBs on one?

im thinking, starting sophomore year, i might do
AP Physics 2 > IBHL Physics 1 > IBHL Physics 2 + AP Chem (or bio)
or
AP Physics 2 > IBHL Chem 1 > IBHL Chem 2 + AP Bio

cause im not 100000% sure what i wanna do yet :((

figured out my 10th grade schedule

now im trying to solidify my 11th and 12th grade ones <3

[modern jay]

Do physics for engineering or mathematical field if you are planning more medical then do chem

[modern jay]

If you have no clue what you are going to do in the future then take all 3

[south cape]

Take AP Gov + Economics + English & also Seminar + Research

[lilac remnant]

im going to freshman what are good electives to take

[hot summit]

I’m taking gov and Econ and human geography sophomore year

Idk if I can take seminar or research

[valid osprey]

My advice is to take any prerequisites you can related to your interests / future career- then when you’re able to as a sophomore/junior/senior you don’t have to worry about not taking the right classes

And anything your school requires for graduation that you can take now, like PE, financial classes, etc

[south cape]

I highly suggest it, but you can do without it

[final helm]

2nd one because the first one has a lot of physics. If you are very passionate about physics it’s okay, but if u want to explore different subjects to for 2nd one

[inner stratus]

guys what science and math ap should I take

[feral lava]

You can take lang and lit if you dont have it as well

[main plume]

physics or chem

[vestal crypt]

What did you take last year? also depends on what major you think you will be

[plucky fern]

I'm not taking honors bio or honors English fresh man year do you think I still got a chance for MIT I am taking ap world and ap cs prin

Also I am taking geometry honors

[deft maple]

Why do you have to take a class to join a sport?

[fathom anchor]

Actually let me ask my counselor about that

But uh

A question have right now

Is that should I take health science or computer science

Because I’m interested in both

But can only choose one

I might have to check my college for that

[deft maple]

Wdym?

Like one this year

[fathom anchor]

I don’t have enough space to take health science and computer science

No all the years

Except for 10th

But I won’t have enough time

[deft maple]

Is computer science credit required for graduation?

[fathom anchor]

No

Both aren’t

Both count as elective credit

[deft maple]

Honestly that’s up to you to decide

There is no right or wrong answer

[fathom anchor]

Do you think a computer science programs outside of school good enough for school resume

[deft maple]

Just follow your heart. There’s not much I can do to help you

What do you want to major in?

[fathom anchor]

Neuroscience and Tech

I want to make devices that can help find cure for brain diseases

[deft maple]

Uhhh

Check college entry requirements

[fathom anchor]

Oooo yeah

[deft maple]

Because most colleges require you to get at least one physical education credit

[fathom anchor]

You right

[fathom anchor]

yeah ik

[deft maple]

Yeah so take health science, PE, or JROTC if you need physical education credits

I also I know some colleges require computer science credits to so I would check that

[fathom anchor]

Alright got it

I’m gonna do soccer for my PE credit though

It can replace

[deft maple]

Oh

Well then you don’t really need to take health science

If sports cover it

[fathom anchor]

Nah it doesn’t

Health science is an elective

It not required

I want to learn about the science of health

[deft maple]

Wait is the computer class an AP class?

[fathom anchor]

Can be

[deft maple]

From what I’ve heard from other people

Classes that you take in high school that are high school level don’t really do much

For example if I want to major in engineering, I don’t have to take engineering in high school

Because I’ll just relearn it in college anyways

But take this with a grain of salt, I don’t know if this 100% correct

Also this doesn’t apply with college level classes. Taking college level classes in high school will definitively give you a significant advantage

[fathom anchor]

Oh really?

Oh okay that takes a lot of pressure off

[deft maple]

I’m not exactly sure

[fathom anchor]

Yeah I will go check

[deft maple]

So I would get someone’s opinion on this

[fathom anchor]

Yeah I’m gonna talk to my counselor tomorrow

But you don’t have to know anything about a major in college to be in that class?

let me search

[deft maple]

Depends

Some classes do have a placement test

This is usually used in math classes

For example I score low on my math placement test the college will make me take algebra

So if I take algebra in high school instead it will help me get put into a higher math class

This happened to a friend of mine

They had to take algebra 1 but they talked to their counselor and said that they already took it in high school

So now they’re taking statistics

Oh and placement tests are also common in foreign language courses and I think English classes also

So unless your trying to get into a specific class I wouldn’t worry too much

Idk about health science courses so check your college requirements

[quasi prawn]

does ap music theory give you a fine arts credit and is it easy

[torn furnace]

Fine Arts Credit ✅

Easy? Depends,on your prior level

Have you taken music theory?Are you enrolled in a music class?

[final helm]

Bro who takes algebra in college what

[jagged swift]

I’m going into my sophomore year and I have no clue what classes I should take or what classes I need to take can someone help?

[south cape]

Take the applicable math course for your grade (preferably Honors); AP World; English 2 (Honors?); AP Physics/Honors Chem.

You choose the electives based on your major

[maiden marlin]

I'm going into junior year and I was planning on taking Ap Chem, Ap Physics, and honors Precalc together (Precalc H is one of the hardest class to take)

I don't know what the limit should be

because these courses are really difficult and idk what to do

I was thinking maybe instead of Ap Physics, I could take Honors Physics, but what do ygs think?

[tropic wadi]

Im into aviation so which degree should i take

[jagged swift]

I’m in high school so I don’t have a major

[south cape]

I mean like what you plan on doing

[buoyant vapor]

bro there is definitely no way

you are doing that

its literally impossible so to say

ap chem and ap physics 1 are the two hardest ap courses

if i were u i'd only take one of the sciences

what other classes are you taking

[maiden marlin]

Everything else is more basic

Like Ap lang, Ap Spanish, Apush, biotech, choir

Those are the 3 hardest courses I was deciding on

[buoyant vapor]

blud

ok what'd you take this year

[maiden marlin]

Only Ap was euro

Ik...

[buoyant vapor]

i dont get why people think they need to take a million aps

what major do you want to do

if its english or literature istg

[tropic wadi]

bruh

[languid ruin]

it does help you speed through your distribution or other sciences requirements or go through the graduation tracker

however, it all depends on the college you go to

[short burrow]

ik u need like. to take honors chem before taking ap chem but for 8th grade im taking like?? an introduction to physics and chem for a 4th science

would that be enough

like chem knowledge to be able to do ap chem

[lilac breach]

hiii, i was wondering if it’s better to take 3 years of lote or an ap class in your major? i’m from california and i’m a hs sophomore

[tawdry anchor]

physics 1 is easy

[buoyant vapor]

🙄 ok bud

ok tbf i havent took it yet so i wouldnt know

maybe i'll be like super good at physics

[tawdry anchor]

the ap scores are really low cus a bunch of people take it randomly

and in their like senior years

[buoyant vapor]

have u taken it??

[tawdry anchor]

i’m taking it right now and had a 97 last semester and a 93 this semester cus I didn’t try on one of the quizzes

[clever carbon]

Should I take AP Human Geo or AP World? I can’t take both and im going into sophomore year

I got recommended for World History but idk if I should take it

[short burrow]

ap world

[final helm]

Ap world

[south cape]

AP World

Can I get into an IVY with these grades and GPA

Or is it a good mile point for freshman year?

[final helm]

Yes great start

[muted lion]

I'm taking the same courses in 8th grade

nice

[golden grotto]

hi im currently a freshman in high school and im aiming for t20s and ivies. im also currently in spanish 3 honors and im planning to take spanish 4 (not honors) as a sophomore next year. It required in my school to have 2 years min of language and im also planning to do 2 years as its my worst class and is bringing my gpa down. i know a lot of the t20s and ivies want at least 3-4 years of foriegn language, but i really dont want to take spanish as a junior as im worried about its effects to my gpa. im planning to major in a STEM major also.
do u think i shud take spanish 5 as a junior and possibly lower my gpa or take spanish for only 2 years if i want better chances of getting into a t20 or ivy?

[muted lion]

have you already taken spanish 1 and 2?

[golden grotto]

i did it in middle school

but it doesn't show on my gpa or transcript

[muted lion]

oh what grade are you in?

[golden grotto]

9th

[muted lion]

ok

i suggest taking spanish the two years necessary if you just want space for electives

but if you REALLY want to impress colleges then maybe take spanish again

im in 8th grade and im taking Spanish 1 right now

my school requires 3 years of language so thats all im doing

[golden grotto]

ohh okay

is it a red flag if i only do 2 years?

cuz i think if i do 3-4 years, my gpa will decrease as im bad at spanish

[deft maple]

People that are less academically inclined

[cinder gorge]

is it still possible to get into ivy legaue if you choose to take free periods junior and senior year

[coarse sigil]

and also hs top athletes

they train their body rather than their mind

if ykyk

[vestal crypt]

dont schools have graduation reqs?

high schools?

mine requires algebra 2/trig minimum

[sand pebble]

HELLO anyone a ECE student here?!

[clever carbon]

I think as long as you have taken three spanish courses you will be okay.

If you really want to you can take spanish 4 but I suggest taking a different elective that interests you

[clever carbon]

Are these grades/courses a good start for a top college? Im a freshman in HS

[robust carbon]

uh

yea

def

[robust carbon]

wait are all of these reg

[rotund stag]

Aim to go higher in math classes I was originally supposed to do geometry but I was able to move in algebra 2

[short burrow]

is that really necessary ?

you should know geometry it's a foundation for a lot of math

my plan is accel geo -> precalc/alg 2 -> calc bc -> idk what after

[vestal nimbus]

AP Calc BC?

I think that’s usually the highest HS math you can take in a public American HS tbh

[vestal nimbus]

I personally think you shouldn’t skip foundational math classes

[unborn vault]

Linear algebra and multivar is after

[craggy sky]

ap stats if you wanna go for that after

[vestal nimbus]

Pretty sure those are college courses? Calculus is usually a college course too. It’s just available to take in HS through AP

[clever carbon]

English, History, and science are honors

[lilac remnant]

my school has multivar calc

but not ap

[clever carbon]

Ive already taken biology and Geometry is a step ahead of the regular math 9th graders take

[lilac remnant]

i am going to freshman next year and taking algebra 2

[clever carbon]

Thats good

What are you taking sophomore year?

[lilac remnant]

Pre calc ap

[clever carbon]

Nice

[rotund stag]

It’s not skipping I just took it during summer

I’m doing pretty well in the next class

[vestal nimbus]

You didn’t say that to them tho

So all I read was that you were able to move into Alg 2 instead of taking geometry…

which is not advisable since the higher level maths need a foundational understanding of geometry

[rotund stag]

Oh my b 😭

[short burrow]

my school has multivariable too

and i did mean ap calc bc

after that I could take multivariable/ap stats/dual enrollment but it's js too far in the future lol

i don't see a point in taking geometry over the summer and i don't have the money anyways

[south cape]

Some American high schools offer Dual Credit Calc 3 or Linear Algebra, which is above BC (1 & 2)

[final helm]

In my school geometry in 9th grade is normal

[final helm]

No, sometimes they let u take multivariable calc or linear algebra

[short burrow]

in my school geo is 10th

[vestal nimbus]

So….college courses lol

I didn’t want to mention dual credit / enrollment classes because each affiliated college is different from one another and might not offer those

[clever carbon]

I see

[clever carbon]

Yeah same

[clever carbon]

Yeah, usually thats the case

[tidal glacier]

Geo is not bad in 9th grade tho

Those a real good grades

[indigo crag]

I Got a question so I am taking algebra and George at the same time and my counselor offered me the chance to take college algebra so it covers my algebra 2 credit but I am aiming for a 1500 at least in my SAT should I take the opportunity or no

[brave rapids]

Can you handle doing everything?

[coarse sigil]

whats the letter to percentage?

[radiant bone]

dayum heck yea

[deft maple]

Colleges around me just say 4 math credits. Doesn’t matter which math because some people may not excel at math and are in special education classes.

[worthy jay]

Is it worth doing less AP classes to pursue other extracurriculars. Since I’m currently an All State Selection in band and likely playing JV for football. I don’t know if I can handle doing so much school work to keep up with those.

(Freshman are in middle school in my district btw so I’m currently taking AP hug as the only AP I can, also taking Sec 2 level math)

[vestal nimbus]

I think so yeah, it’s unnecessary to take so many AP’s if you can’t even keep up with it

EC’s are also pretty important, if your skills are in your EC’s then you should also focus on that

[rotund stag]

What instrument

[vestal crypt]

do you do NYSSMA?

[buoyant vapor]

💀 "cause i didnt try"

nvm then i guess what i meant is that ap physics is hard for the AVERAGE person

[coarse sigil]

Ap bio or AP chem during my sophmore year? (Im planning to do a business major)

[worthy jay]

Bass clarinet

[worthy jay]

idk what that is lol

[buoyant vapor]

blud where in new york

[buoyant vapor]

bio

also what else are you taking

[vestal crypt]

rahchestuh

[buoyant vapor]

LMFAO WHAT

[vestal crypt]

if you are from NY

you know what i mean

[buoyant vapor]

i think i know

[buoyant vapor]

anyways if u dont like science u should put more time into extracurriculars instead

like join fbla or something

[coarse sigil]

We ain’t got that

[buoyant vapor]

make one fr

[indigo crag]

Ye cause the college algebra course is over the summer

[coarse sigil]

for junior, physics 1 or AP chem?

[vestal nimbus]

Whichever one you prefer to take

[coarse sigil]

.

[vestal nimbus]

I think you should take physics

[coarse sigil]

whats the rate of getting. a 5 on that

like 5%?

[vestal nimbus]

On AP chem?

[coarse sigil]

phsycis

physics is harder arguably

[vestal nimbus]

Oh I thought you meant regular physics

[coarse sigil]

ap

[vestal nimbus]

You didn’t say AP physics in the original message

[coarse sigil]

u right

[vestal nimbus]

AP physics % for 5 is 8.8, AP chem % for 5 is 16%

[coarse sigil]

mb

[coarse sigil]

awh man

[vestal nimbus]

I didn’t like AP chem lol >.>

But I never took AP physics either so I can’t comment

[coarse sigil]

pass rate for a 5 is wild

for both

[vestal nimbus]

It’s interesting

[coarse sigil]

did u ever take ap geography?

arguably the easiest ap?

[buoyant vapor]

physics

i hate chemistry

[vestal nimbus]

Yes

[coarse sigil]

we all do

[coarse sigil]

easy?

Im going to self-study is bc my school doesnt offer it

[vestal nimbus]

I think AP human geography was extremely easy

[buoyant vapor]

actually though

i dont hate chem

[coarse sigil]

.

[buoyant vapor]

its just too much work

its kinda fun though

[vestal nimbus]

A lot of it felt like common sense

[buoyant vapor]

ikr

[buoyant vapor]

tbh

i dont think you shoudl self study for any ap

[coarse sigil]

other ap u recommend during my freshman year?

[buoyant vapor]

use that time for extracurriculars instead

[vestal nimbus]

“Why do immigrants move?”

• career prospects and money
• war and inhabitable areas
• political unrest

[buoyant vapor]

if you truly do not need it you dont have to take it

espically if ur school doesnt offer it

[buoyant vapor]

lmfao

cartograms 🤓

[coarse sigil]

would be a jumpstart over my competitors at school

[buoyant vapor]

the thing is though

[coarse sigil]

?

[buoyant vapor]

if u spent it on extracurriculars thats what would give u a headstart

i regret not doing anything freshman year

its ur choice but what i would do is spend the time on extracurriculars instead

[coarse sigil]

my ecs are stacked

[buoyant vapor]

ok bud

[final helm]

Uhhh I mean

[errant stratus]

Name every course that's good for Cybersecurity I can see if my school offers it

[final helm]

What do u enjoy more ap chem or physics

[final helm]

Bet.

[coarse sigil]

never took it so I dont know

[final helm]

Business applications
Cybersecurity
Programming in Java
Programming in Python
AP Comp Sci Principles
AP Comp Sci A

[final helm]

What sounds more appealing, chem or physics?

And have u had any experience with either in the past

[errant stratus]

Ty

[coarse sigil]

no experience whatsoever

[final helm]

Damn well then

It’s not like I can choose for u

[coarse sigil]

alright

[full tinsel]

Should I double AP Chem and AP Physics I

[errant stratus]

ik i've taken now once junior year ends in May or June i'd hve cybersecurity completed so ima try the others

[rotund stag]

It’s probably gonna be hell but if ur determined and passionate u should

[full tinsel]

Uh ok

It can't be hell

Ppl are saying APUSH is hell and I got a 99% on both 1st and 2nd Quarters

[vestal nimbus]

It’s the test you should worry about

[normal ember]

Original Choices:
AP Physics 1
AP Computer Science A

New Choices (Not Including Dual Enrollment):
AP Chemistry

AP Statistics
AP Psychology
Baking & Pastry 1
Game Simulation Foundations (Game Design 1)
Leadership Skills Local Honors (Student Government)
Principles of Entrupreneurship

[normal ember]

(My school, for some reason, failed to get AP Physics and AP Computer Science A this year)

y'all tell me what you think I should take instead of those 2 calsses

(I want to major in physics and/or comp sci at MIT)

[bleak gyro]

hey, if you don’t mind me asking, what year are you in?

[vestal nimbus]

Besides MIT, what else are you looking at?

[normal ember]

Caltech, Berkeley, Princeton, to name the ones on the top of my mind
and UF for in-state

[rotund stag]

Bro same

[rotund stag]

This is my schedule

[normal ember]

lucky you have ap physics

I'm so mad that my school didn't get it

they lost it because the old physics teacher went to go start a drug empire

or some shit

I forgot the story

[normal ember]

I'm a sophomore btw

[normal ember]

(this is for junior year, I'm currently a sophomore)

[serene jacinth]

LMAO

[rotund stag]

That is my sophomore schedule I’m currently a freshman

[rotund stag]

U could take it online

[covert canyon]

Hello, I am having trouble in my Algebra 1 class, if anyone is willing to help teach me, it would be much appreciated

[rotund stag]

What is it specifically

[bleak gyro]

i’d say ap chem and honors physics, but i’d try to talk it over again with parents and explain my goals

[covert canyon]

Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Graphing

That is the lesson title

[normal ember]

Flvs got rid of ap physics 1 too 😞

[normal ember]

My parents are not in the equation

[bleak gyro]

sorry to hear that!

[normal ember]

Nono

They're alive

They not dead

Not out of the equation like that

I love them They love me

I'm saying like

They have nothing to do with my class choices

[bleak gyro]

oh i didn’t mean to come off that way 😭

[normal ember]

It's fine

My mistake with the wording

[bleak gyro]

i meant to say why they didn’t agree with ur class choice?

[normal ember]

Oh has nothing to do with that

My school doesn't have ap physics 1 or ap csa

Which, they were supposed to get it for next year

Guess not though

The "new choices" are my top choices from the rest of the classes on my course card

[rotund stag]

Do Yk how to graph linear equations

[rotund stag]

Those r so important for physics u got hella unlucky

[covert canyon]

Ya im not great at it tho

[normal ember]

Yeah :(

[rotund stag]

So when u graph the two equations the point where of intersection is the answer

[covert canyon]

ok

[rotund stag]

Do u need help w the graphing part

[clever carbon]

93-97 is an A
98-100 is an A+

[normal ember]

I'm so glad that my county doesn't do A+

[coarse sigil]

some states do A+

btw

[normal ember]

well

all my transcript will ever show

is A

we don't even do A- 😁

[normal ember]

which I'm even more ecstatic about

[south cape]

Most schools I’ve went to have this percentage:

90-93 = A-

93-96 = A

97-100 = A+

[coarse sigil]

this is correc5

[south cape]

Also, do you think it’s still possible for me to snag the valedictorian title at the end of senior year if I got Rank 12/422 in the first semester of freshman year?

[normal ember]

Yeah my friend jumped from rank 9 to rank 1 after 1st semester sophomore

And he was less than 9 before

Well

More than 9, technically

[normal ember]

See my County has that for all the other letters

Just not A

[coarse sigil]

my school is valedictorian for only senior year

[coarse sigil]

u can definetly snag first place no matter what

ask your guidance counselor whose the number one, see and observe what he/she does. Like ask for studying tips etf

etc

[normal ember]

I'm so sad that I'd be rank #1 if I didn't screw myself in covid year (got a D for algebra 1, 7th grade)

That one D (everything else is an A) is dropping me to rank 13 ☹️

[pearl mesa]

Maybe, we couldn’t tell you

Ask your counselor

[cinder gorge]

Damn

[cinder gorge]

Physics for sure

Physics stays winning

[south cape]

Overall rank, or just for that semester

[frail flax]

is 3 aps (ap comp sci prin, apes, and ap human) in freshman year too much

and if i choose apes i have to do honors biology alongisde

[vestal nimbus]

You have to?

[vestal nimbus]

I don’t think it’s too much as long as you manage your time

[frail flax]

yea

[vestal nimbus]

APES had a lot of super fun labs
AP human is easy if you use logic imo

I haven’t taken APCS so I can’t comment

[frail flax]

i heard that APES has hard tests

[vestal nimbus]

The FRQs are certainly annoying

One question can give up to 5 parts…

1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e
i, ii, iii, iv etc

[frail flax]

in my county i got accepted for the IB highschool and also the IT highschool

i can take ap comp sci prin if i go to the IT one

[vestal nimbus]

USA?

[frail flax]

but which one do i choose

[vestal nimbus]

My school is also IB lol

[frail flax]

yea my cointy has highschools for diff interests

i got into IT and ib rejected from leadership and global economics

question for IB do the IB assesment grades go into thegradebook

im in a ib middle school and ours is exluced but ppl said it changes for highschool

[vestal nimbus]

Yes?

[frail flax]

not exlcided???

[vestal nimbus]

It depends on what your teacher wants to do with it tbh, usually it’s excluded I guess

[frail flax]

oh k

in ib you can get a 4.5 gpa bc every course is ib

even pe right

[vestal nimbus]

IB classes usually boost your GPA yeah, I’m not sure if it’s the same for every single IB class but it seems like it

[normal ember]

Does anyone else have concrete answers? I'd like more input

[indigo crag]

Are these courses good for 9th grade if I want to get into a school like MIT I'm taking dual enrollment first year college experience now for semantics and also I'm taking algebra and geometry at the same time and since I'm In florida AICE is like AP but it covers less college hours also my school doesn't give out A Pluses

[tender prawn]

Should I take AP environmental science or CAD (1 and 2) for my sophomore year, I have interest pursuing a degree in engineering

[final helm]

Well if u r already taking other ap classes take CAD

[tender prawn]

I am planning on taking AP US history,

[south cape]

If your going to MIT, take more engineering & computer science classes

*you’re

[elfin dagger]

Is business management or administration a good choice?

Like, do I have a chance to get admitted to them in case it’s very competitive and pays off well for my future career?

[vital olive]

it's one of the worst possible majors you could choose

it has practically no use irl and is heavily, HEAVILY overmajored

[final helm]

R u taking any ap science classes

[elfin dagger]

Damn

[indigo crag]

I am planning on taking CSP at the local community College in my area

And Ap physics junior year I am also trying to see if the aice coordinator will let me take an exam for a class I am not currently taking so I can get the credit

So that I can take AP computer science principles junior year

[tender prawn]

No

[south cape]

Instead of business management, you could take economics or finance

Idk too much about this, so do some more research

[muted lion]

u dont need to post it in every channel

[coarse sigil]

no way bro

[final helm]

I mean take cad but I reccomend u take ap physics if u wanna be engineer

[tender prawn]

Okay Thanks

[torn ingot]

question

[pearl mesa]

answer

[torn ingot]

should I take calc 2 or math electives if i want to go into economics -> VC? I don't rlly like finance I prefer the entrepreneurship side but that's an option and a useful one

[final helm]

Calc

[formal charm]

Calc 2

[torn ingot]

that is NOT what i wanted to hear 💀

[formal charm]

It’s better to finish both semesters of calc imo

[torn ingot]

each is one year

AB/BC

[frigid vale]

Is on ramps chemistry 1 and lab an alternative for advanced chemistry? (Not the ap)

[formal charm]

Calc 2 is hard but you can do it

[formal charm]

Ah ok

I dunno how that stuff works I just did it straight up at community college

[torn ingot]

actually my school does honors instead of ap (stupid asf idk why) but it aligns 100% w ap curriculum for all of them to make it look like the students self-studied 💀

[formal charm]

I see, so what would you learn in your calc 2, is it like more integral stuff and solids of rotation, or would it be multi variable stuff

[rotund stag]

How can I make myself stand out as someone who wants to major in physics/astronomy

[formal charm]

Research is probably your best bet

[formal charm]

Along with some strong classes like uni physics or high level calc

[torn ingot]

I'll be honest with you I havae zero idea, I'm just on the track at my school that's

Freshman: Accelerated Geometry with Algebra II
Sophomore: Accelerated Tigonometry with Algebra II
Junior: Accelerated Calculus I
Senior: Calculus II / electives (I would do finance/statistics, since theyre both semester lnog)

[formal charm]

Ok thats fine

it looks like it will fulfill any calculus requirements that may have been in place.

[torn ingot]

Even if I don't do calc II?

[coarse sigil]

Ap calc BC covered calc 2

and calc 1

[formal charm]

I mean I can only recommend that you do calc 2, because thats the best action, but if you really dont want to dont force yourself, especially if you dont plan on doing engineering or anything like that

[formal charm]

Ok, so maybe his calc 2 is going to be like 3d calc

[covert blade]

Is this a tough course load as a junior? AP Comp Sci P, AP Seminar, AP Lang, AP USH, French 3 Honors and Alg2/Trig regular

[formal charm]

Yes

[covert blade]

I’m taking Chem Honors, Pre-Eng 1-2 Honors, French 2 Honore, Geo Honors, Civics/Western Civ and E2H rn

[formal charm]

with the exception of math I'd bet you are going to have a tough time

When the APs start APing

[covert blade]

Dang

[covert blade]

Real

What should I change

[formal charm]

I hear AP USH is a pain in the ass

but its up to you

I never did take AP classes so I wouldnt take my word for it

I just did Dual Credit stuff

[covert blade]

Ahh did u take USH Reg? If so, how is it?

[formal charm]

I took US History I and II at a Community College, it was a little rough but I got A's in both and was never too worried

[covert blade]

[hybrid axle]

Is it worth it to get an associates degree while in high school from dual enrollment

[formal charm]

Oh yeah

[hybrid axle]

Bet

Ima do that

[formal charm]

I'm looking to save anywhere from 40-60k on college expenses

but if you do do it you can only get your credits to Reliably transfer at an in-state public university

Fortunately for me Texas is the king of good public engineering colleges so it works out amazing for me, but if you live somewhere with not so great public universities it might be less ideal

thats calc 3 for us

[formal charm]

oh ok nvm then, you probably will do like some basic diff eq stuff and solids of rotation in calc 2 then

and dont forget integrals
