course-selection

[south cape]

I’m one grade ahead

[fathom anchor]

okay

[south cape]

Friend me

[fathom anchor]

so

i prefer we talk in here

[south cape]

Ok that fine

That’s

[fathom anchor]

for comp sci, i dont know if i can fit it on my schedule, so do you think if i take a program, outside of school. Colleges can accept that

[south cape]

Your courses are pretty good; almost identical to me, except I went the academic sweat route instead of sports

[torn ingot]

yooo class of 2027 🔥

[fathom anchor]

do you think programs outside of school good for colleges

[south cape]

Depends, but it should preferably be for HS/College credit

[fathom anchor]

yeah

[south cape]

Sup

[fathom anchor]

but is it required to take it as an elective

so like

if i dont take comp sci in high school

can i still take it in college like boston university

[south cape]

Yeah

[torn ingot]

yes but you should take it in hs if you want to major in it in college

[fathom anchor]

hm alright

i might as well take health science in highschoo

and take

comp sci as a program outside of school

during summer or something

[fathom anchor]

i dont think there enough space

[south cape]

You should get to at least AP CS A in high school

[fathom anchor]

unless

if i take soccer out

oh

i can take that in 10th

but i dont know if im allowed

because i might need to take Comp sci 1

to take that

in that case

[south cape]

Check your course catalog

[fathom anchor]

i can just get rid of soccer for 2 year

and put that in

[south cape]

Also, if you are willing, you can take courses over the summer

[fathom anchor]

i heard i can do that

my sister said i cant

but my friend is doing that

[south cape]

I’m taking Chem Honors to skip it and doing AP Chem in 10th

[fathom anchor]

gotta ask my counselor

I feel like i should take a fine art or health and speech over summer

to leave me with more room

can i take a elective course over summer?

Or is it only core classes

[south cape]

Depends

[fathom anchor]

yeah gotta ask counselor

[south cape]

Yeah

Alright I have to go

[fathom anchor]

alright bye

[south cape]

Bye

[south cape]

Here are my course selections

Humanities 1 is English Honors & Humanities 2 is AP World History

Also American Studies is APUSH & AP English Language

[fathom anchor]

alrightr let me check it out

[south cape]

But these are selections for an aspiring med major, so switch out the med courses with Comp science and maybe skip a few APs

[normal ember]

Everyone gets AP Physics 1 but me 😭

there's a school near me with AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, and AP Physics C but they're 30 minutes away

[vestal crypt]

my school has 1 and 2 but not C

I dont get freshman APs 😡

mfs be talking about human geography and seminar, my school doesn’t offer them because they are just that useless

i guarantee thats the reason i would get if i asked

[rotund stag]

What’s the point of taking AP physics 1 in sophomore year if ur not taking 2 or c in junior yr

[rotund stag]

I have everything but 2

[south cape]

I have to have Bio in Junior for college applications

[rotund stag]

O

[frail flax]

0

it doesnt matter unless you are on varsity team

[random crown]

Do you think I can get into CALTECH if I don’t take AP chem? My school only offers honors chemistry

[muted lion]

depends on what you major in

there may be other AP courses more inclined toward your major and you could take those

[robust carbon]

colleges normally understand if ur school has restrictions

[formal charm]

I doubt AP chem will make or break a cal tech admission

[muted lion]

yea

I just took a major entrance exam for a extremely high ranked HS near me

Idk if I'll make it

will it look better to colleges if I get decent grades at this school or very good grades at my traditional high school?

[random crown]

Okay thanks!

[south cape]

State it in the section where you give excuses & stuff

[robust carbon]

isn't that addtional info

[coarse sigil]

I was going to take Ap chem sophmore year but that rate of getting a 5 is almost sub 10%, so ima stick to ap bio

[south cape]

Sorry, Im only in 9th and haven’t started my applications yet

So I just went off of what others said

[coarse sigil]

physics 1 and chem sophmore year is wild

2 hardest ap classes in hs (arguably)

[south cape]

The kids in my school are super sweaty

Some are taking 3 APs in freshman

And have a 5.4

[coarse sigil]

man im dead

[azure palm]

Yo idk what class to not do honors in next year. I dont think i wanna max out my classes so ill drop 1 honors.

This is my schedule this year
World history H (school doesnt have AP)
Band
English I (could be taking honors)
Geometry H
Gym/free period (alt days)
APES
Spanish intermediate I

[south cape]

I live in the outer areas of DFW Texas, so there is a lot of competition

[robust carbon]

which ones are honors?

[azure palm]

Im looking at taking AP bio next year, honors ush, algebra 2 H, band etc. I just dont know if i shohld take honors english, honors spanish? Or both

[azure palm]

The ones that say H

[south cape]

Just saying, there isn’t too much of a difference between honors and on level

[robust carbon]

prob. both

[south cape]

Usually it’s just 2-3 classes faster

[robust carbon]

looks better than the normal class

[azure palm]

Yeah but weighted gpa

At my school i feel like it lowkey is

[robust carbon]

all schools and courses are quite different in syllabus and intensity

[azure palm]

My unleveled english class is the freest sht ever but ppl in honors get mostly b+s

[south cape]

Oh

Then I would suggest taking English on level and keep the rest as honors

[azure palm]

K

Cuz i wanna start my own club and do scioly and science fair and on top of that i alr have scouts on wednesdays and jazz band on tuesdays

So packed with ecs

[coarse sigil]

what major?

[azure palm]

Blud im in hs whst

[coarse sigil]

u can plan for your major

[azure palm]

Ohh like what do i wanna major in

[coarse sigil]

yes

[azure palm]

Envsci or some bio thing

[fathom anchor]

should i take soccer 11th and 12th. So i can have space for comp sci in 9th and 10th

[short burrow]

id love to take 3 aps but my elective spots r both taken lol

can only take 1

[coarse sigil]

Can anyone tell me if this is a wise choice
Im currently taking geometry High Honors, (Algebra 2 and Pre Calc over the summer), Calculus Honors as sophmore?

[vestal nimbus]

Are you good at math? That’s a lot of math crammed into two years

[coarse sigil]

Im well fit

98 percentile on the HSPT

[vestal nimbus]

Especially when you’re double mathing in the summer? I would imagine the course content is much more brief than if you took it in school

If you think you can handle it then go for it

[coarse sigil]

but the calculus 1 is dual enrollment

bruh

[vestal nimbus]

Oh

I would suggest to take precalc normally and then Calc your junior year then

[coarse sigil]

alr

[vestal nimbus]

There’s really no rush to take so many maths in two years
Plus, there’s a lot of content for dual enrollment Calc

[full tinsel]

Eh the only thing I need to worry abt is LEQ and DBQ

Handling APUSH like a champ

[cedar sparrow]

guys is this a good schedule for 11th grade for me?

I'm doing 5 aps is it too much

if so should i take normal english or normal physics

[full tinsel]

Nah

U'll be fine

[cedar sparrow]

im not the smartest student either

[coarse sigil]

dawg, how you get em business electives

[cedar sparrow]

im majoring there so

[coarse sigil]

my school only offfers so much

[cedar sparrow]

ya

[coarse sigil]

what?

wdym majoring

[full tinsel]

R u majoring in busniess

[cedar sparrow]

like during college

ya

[modern jay]

Physics at 11th grade is a little off

[full tinsel]

Why u taking physics then?

[coarse sigil]

why?

[cedar sparrow]

because I need to do a science

[full tinsel]

Ah

[modern jay]

Do ap bio

[cedar sparrow]

hell no

[modern jay]

Or apes

[cedar sparrow]

hmm that might be it

[modern jay]

Oh

[cedar sparrow]

ap environmental

[full tinsel]

Yea do Bio ot APEs if u can

Yeah

[modern jay]

Because physics 1 is similar to physics 2

[full tinsel]

APES is the easiest science AP

[cedar sparrow]

actually

[modern jay]

You are basically wasting a class

[cedar sparrow]

aight bet ill doit

[full tinsel]

Unless ur good at math

[coarse sigil]

dawg what

I'm trying to major in business as well

how is it a waste?

[full tinsel]

If u suck at math do APES

[cedar sparrow]

what do i need to excel in apes or ap physics

[full tinsel]

Idk about APES

[cedar sparrow]

is it gonna look weird if i do ap physics I in 12th grade then?

[full tinsel]

But for Physics u need the atrong math background

[modern jay]

It’s a waste because there is no point of doing physics 2 because it’s very similar to physics 1

It would be better to do all 3

[full tinsel]

Physics 2 is E&M plus theoretical

[modern jay]

It depends in some school

[full tinsel]

Physics I is more newtonian physics

But then again it depends

[modern jay]

In mine physics 1 and 2 and the same thing

Then everything new is at physics C

[full tinsel]

Naw nothing weird with take certain APs

Just if u suck at math take APES

[coarse sigil]

Ap chem senior year is a wise choice right?

[full tinsel]

If u have the strong math background, then just take AP Physics I

[coarse sigil]

my current path is Bio Honors --> AP Bio --> AP physics 1 --> AP Chem

[full tinsel]

Ye nothing wrong with it

[coarse sigil]

ight

[full tinsel]

I'm take Adv. Chem then AP Chem next year as a junior

[coarse sigil]

gl

heard it was extremely hard

[full tinsel]

Maybe AP Physics >

I

[coarse sigil]

.

man im dead

[full tinsel]

Cuz of short staffing

So one year they offer AP Physics I, then the other year they offer AP Chem

They might do both next year since there has been increased interest

[cedar sparrow]

my parents are forcing me to do ap physics

they are saying no more than 4 aps

[full tinsel]

Yeah well wat about APES?

[coarse sigil]

dream school?

[cedar sparrow]

texas a&m

or ut austin

[full tinsel]

That's an AP

[cedar sparrow]

?

[full tinsel]

AP environmental

[cedar sparrow]

but my parents are saying physics will help me in college and shit

so

[modern jay]

yea it will

[full tinsel]

Yea

Just take it

[cedar sparrow]

so ill do it

[modern jay]

You are required to do a math and science class

[cedar sparrow]

and then instead of ap lang

ill just do normal lang

[full tinsel]

Ur already doing Precalc

[modern jay]

Take ap lang though

You have to take english in college

It will help

[cedar sparrow]

actually?

[modern jay]

yes

[modern jay]

My dad has been in college for 32 years and he says english is always required

[cedar sparrow]

i dont have anybody who has gone to college nor do ik

so

ok thanks for telling me that

so ill do lang then

[modern jay]

and he went to texas a & m

[cedar sparrow]

ik history, math, and egnlish are pretty damn important

[modern jay]

yea

[cedar sparrow]

thats my dream school

especially if i pass the exam

[modern jay]

nice

[cedar sparrow]

so 5 aps u think i can handle?

[modern jay]

I want to go to ut or texas & m

[modern jay]

Yea for sure

[serene jacinth]

Isn't it easy to get in to?

[cedar sparrow]

more is out of the question

[serene jacinth]

I would consider it a saftey.

[cedar sparrow]

not necessariyl

[modern jay]

no its like in the middle

[coarse sigil]

Dam

[serene jacinth]

The acceptance rate is only 64%

[coarse sigil]

31% for UT austin

[cedar sparrow]

ya that will be the hardest

[serene jacinth]

I feel like if you're overall a well-rounded student you can easily be accepted.

[cedar sparrow]

so what should my schedule feel like next year

[serene jacinth]

Well

Their admissions are honestly kind of odd

[cedar sparrow]

is this too heavy for me

[serene jacinth]

You don't need to be a well-rounded student

[coarse sigil]

nothing compared to my dream school ngl

[modern jay]

how many science credits are required for graduation for you

[cedar sparrow]

im not like a very intellectual student either

[cedar sparrow]

4

[modern jay]

Because you can get an off period next year

[serene jacinth]

You legit just need to be top 10% of your class for automatic admission.

[modern jay]

oh

[coarse sigil]

thats doable

[modern jay]

yea thats true

[coarse sigil]

for many

[serene jacinth]

Top 6% to get your major gaurenteed

Idk about UT

[cedar sparrow]

hmm

[serene jacinth]

I think it's a good school but I don't know about the culture

[modern jay]

mit is really hard to get into for engineering

[coarse sigil]

i mean thats the top of the top

[modern jay]

i want to go there

[coarse sigil]

T10 schools

[serene jacinth]

Guys

I kind of loaded up my senior year schedule

[modern jay]

yea but I think I have the ability to try

[coarse sigil]

U got Caltech @modern jay

[serene jacinth]

I need advice for if I should change it or not

[modern jay]

maybe

My parents already paid for college in texas so I am probably going to ut

[coarse sigil]

bro what...

[modern jay]

??

[coarse sigil]

pre-paying for college is wild

[serene jacinth]

I'll be taking these classes my senior year

AP English Literature and Composition
AP Calculus BC
AP Environmental Science
AP U.S Government
AP Macroeconomics
AP Physics
AP Chemisty
AVID Senior Seminar

AP Gov and Macro will be just one period since they're half credits

[modern jay]

Well its common

They paid it when I was really young

[coarse sigil]

all APs

[serene jacinth]

Yes 😬

But by the time I'll graduate I'll have taken a total of 13 or so APs

It's good for my resume

Also

[coarse sigil]

u just loaded all the hardest aps in one year

Ap lit

Ap chem

Ap physics

[serene jacinth]

Okay now you're scaring me

Isn't AP Lit easy?

[coarse sigil]

hardest english AP out there

[modern jay]

Its the 3rd hardest class

or 2nd

[coarse sigil]

dam bro

[serene jacinth]

Well it's the last so probably

[modern jay]

maybe 1st for some peoiple

[full tinsel]

How does this look for next year?

It isn't completely fleshed out

[cedar sparrow]

holy damn

you are smart af

i could never

[serene jacinth]

Classes don't equate to intellect lol

[modern jay]

im doing calculus bc as a sophmore next year

[full tinsel]

I'm thinking of dual enrollment over the summer to jump to calculus

[serene jacinth]

To determination? Probably 😭

[coarse sigil]

^

[full tinsel]

Our school has a policy in which we must do AB and BC in the same year

[modern jay]

That's a weird rule

[full tinsel]

So instead of Precalc and stat, I would do AB and BC

[serene jacinth]

Isn't that just BC?

For us BC covers both AB and BC in one class

Calculus BC

[full tinsel]

Pretty much

There is a AB subsect on the BC test

[modern jay]

yea it does

[full tinsel]

Yea BC covers everything

Yet this county has this stupid rule that we must take both

In the same year

[modern jay]

yea I see

I have a bad district too

[serene jacinth]

I'm just going to need to study like hell my senior year

[frail flax]

ISNT APES a freshman course

[modern jay]

Our band is broke and we are 50 mil dollars in debt and they overfill schools instead of rezoning

[modern jay]

no

[full tinsel]

Where is this?

[modern jay]

fbisd

[serene jacinth]

Well

I think APES should be a blow-off class

[frail flax]

Pretty sure iTs a freshman or sophomore

[serene jacinth]

So will AVID

[full tinsel]

Yea well my dream school is Princeton

[modern jay]

freshman is usually bio

[serene jacinth]

For us we can take it whatever year

[full tinsel]

Or a school with an extensice astrophysics program

[frail flax]

????

[serene jacinth]

Hopefully I will be there this summer for the scholars program I applied to 🙏

[modern jay]

I see that you have a different system of science

[frail flax]

Yep for me the 3 aps I can take in freshman are APES ap human and AP comp sci prin

[coarse sigil]

50 mil in debt is abosoutely crazy

[modern jay]

yep

[serene jacinth]

My school doesn't offer Comp Sci unfortunately

[modern jay]

We keep buying stuff and we are not government funded

These are the courses I am doing for high school

[coarse sigil]

SIFP?

[frail flax]

how?

[modern jay]

math is going to be adjusted from summer school

[modern jay]

for texas a & m

[serene jacinth]

What's that?

[coarse sigil]

lucky, u got micro while we dont

[coarse sigil]

princeton scholars program

[full tinsel]

My theoretical senior year schedule

[frail flax]

What year is micro/macro?

[serene jacinth]

I'm doing it through another program.

[modern jay]

oh

[full tinsel]

How is it?

[modern jay]

12th

[short burrow]

hi gang i have a question about like. ap courses??? i don't really have a lot of space to take aps bc both of my elective spots r taken up until junior year and even then i only have 1 spot

[serene jacinth]

It's aimed for first-generation students with a diverse backround.

[short burrow]

so idk what i should do

[serene jacinth]

It's 5 weeks

[modern jay]

double up on science

[full tinsel]

Well wat is ur schedule

[frail flax]

Why are they taken until junior year.

[cedar sparrow]

thats a little too much ngl

especially for senior year

[short burrow]

?

[cedar sparrow]

what normally people do is

1 ap- freshman
3- sophmore
4-5- junior
3-4 senior

[short burrow]

im doing chorus all 4 years and french freshman and sophmore

[cedar sparrow]

bro im so scared 5 aps is too much for me as a junior 😭

[modern jay]

some part of it

[frail flax]

First semester I think

[serene jacinth]

My school doesn't offer many APs so I have to try and take as many as I can.

[short burrow]

if i enjoy it ill do ap in junior

[serene jacinth]

They see the first semester ones

[cedar sparrow]

ap lang, ap seminar, apush, ap pre cal, and ap physics

[modern jay]

you are going to be fine

[coarse sigil]

"Quest-Bridge"

[cedar sparrow]

which are gonna be the most difficult ones for me

[short burrow]

freshman year i literally only have space for one ap

[cedar sparrow]

im guessing ap physics and apsuh

[coarse sigil]

which I am part of?

[modern jay]

I'm doing all ap in senior yaer

year

[frail flax]

That’s how much most ppl take

[cedar sparrow]

i cant handle all that

[short burrow]

yeah but still

[modern jay]

physics and chem

[full tinsel]

So wat is ur schedule

[coarse sigil]

right

[full tinsel]

We're gonna need to know if u want help fitting it in

[cedar sparrow]

soiim not diong ap chem

[frail flax]

ISNT IB way advantage over regular people in college admission? I got accepted yesterday should I go

[cedar sparrow]

im not doin ap chem

[short burrow]

honors 9th lit/honors bio/accel geometry/either ap human or ap wh/french 2 honors/chorus

[serene jacinth]

I'm excited for AP Chem

[cedar sparrow]

these are the ones im dion

[modern jay]

ok thats good

[serene jacinth]

I feel like I'll have a love/hate relationship with that class

[full tinsel]

Wat APs can u take as a freshman

[short burrow]

im just worried about like later hs years like i won't have enough aps u know

[serene jacinth]

APHG

[cedar sparrow]

so physics ap, pre cal ap, apush, ap seminar, and ap lang

[modern jay]

yes that's good

[short burrow]

im not sure ? ap human and maybe ap world

[cedar sparrow]

physics and apush will be the most time consuming id think

[full tinsel]

(For ur school district)

[modern jay]

AP human geo

[cedar sparrow]

right?

[frail flax]

For most ap human Geo but in my case you can take apes and ap comp sci prim

[short burrow]

but it's not like i could take any others anyways im not taking ap bio freshman year i heard that was suicidal

[full tinsel]

Oh

[modern jay]

lit is a lot as well

[frail flax]

Do APSS

[coarse sigil]

lucky, my school doesnt allow ap classes first year

[short burrow]

u have to wait until 11th for ap compsci

[full tinsel]

My school it was AP CSP and AP US Gov

[cedar sparrow]

lang**

but ok

[modern jay]

oh yeah i forgot

[short burrow]

what !

[cedar sparrow]

lit is for the year after

lmao

[short burrow]

what is ss

[frail flax]

Apes

[full tinsel]

Naw for freshmen year, it's normal to take one AP

[cedar sparrow]

so physics and apush are the ones im gonna have to push myself

the other three should be hopefully 90+

ap seminar, ap pre cal, and lang

[short burrow]

?? im taking honors accelerated geometry

[modern jay]

yea but physics 1 is algebra based so it shouldn't be that hard

[full tinsel]

APUSH is memory based

[frail flax]

I take it rn

[modern jay]

same here

[short burrow]

idk it's like the highest u can do in 9th grade

i don't know what the difference is ??

[coarse sigil]

essentially high honors

[cedar sparrow]

actually?

u took it??

[full tinsel]

Taking it rn

[short burrow]

9th grade is either alg 1/geo/accel geo

[cedar sparrow]

i have some confience now then

[full tinsel]

Got a 99% in Q1 and Q2

Each

[frail flax]

Highest??? R u joking

[serene jacinth]

By the time I graduate I will have taken all of these 😢

[short burrow]

i am not joking

[frail flax]

oh Texas?

[short burrow]

im doing alg1 in 8th grade right now

no ?

[frail flax]

California

[modern jay]

I'm surprised you have that many dc avaible to you

[coarse sigil]

wth is DC

[full tinsel]

Wth is DC

[short burrow]

i mean if i took geo over the summer i could probably skip to precalc but i don't have the money

[modern jay]

Dual credit

[serene jacinth]

Dual credit

[frail flax]

Alg 2?.

[short burrow]

georgia

[serene jacinth]

If you pass the class you get college credit

[modern jay]

yea

[short burrow]

here it's precalc and alg 2 in one clsss

[serene jacinth]

Not AP though

[coarse sigil]

you're right

[coarse sigil]

[coarse sigil]

so you would take AP calc in 10th grade

[short burrow]

my pathway is accel geo/precalc & alg 2/ap calc bc/whatever after that

No ?

well if i skipped geo

then yes

[serene jacinth]

If I pass the class I get the credit and I'm still given the opportunity of taken the AP exam

It's a win-win

[frail flax]

Algebra 2 ?

[short burrow]

it's precalc and alg 2 in one class

[modern jay]

ap is accepted more

[short burrow]

i don't know that's what the website says!!!

[modern jay]

dc will get you a credit already

[short burrow]

im just trying to fit in aps

[full tinsel]

Alr

Then wut u doing past freshmen yea

Year

[frail flax]

Are you not in 8th grade

[short burrow]

hold on let me pull up my schedule

yes I am in 8th grade

[coarse sigil]

.

[cedar sparrow]

bro im already behind most ppl i jus realized

i took 0 aps freshman year
only 2 sophmore year

[full tinsel]

It's normal for one AP in freshmen year

[cedar sparrow]

and then 5 in next year

[full tinsel]

I took one freshmen

Two sophmore

[frail flax]

I can take 3 should I?

[modern jay]

im surprised you are talking about course selection in 8th grade. I would wait to see what upper classemen say

[full tinsel]

Jumping up to 5 next year

[short burrow]

i know it's normal im worried about the rest of highschool because ill have to squeeze them in my last 2 years

[coarse sigil]

thats what my path is

[short burrow]

they made us make our whole 4 years like 2 weeks ago

[frail flax]

U have to choose rn like our course selection finished a week ago

[modern jay]

you are not behind having aps is really good

[modern jay]

same here

[short burrow]

i don't know any upperclassmen

[cedar sparrow]

i mean only if you pass the exam it is

soo

otherwise no.

[frail flax]

Nope it can boost the GPa

[modern jay]

passing the exam is easy though if you pay attention in the class

[full tinsel]

Rn I completed AP CSP in the first semester and am currently taking APUSH yearlong

[cedar sparrow]

true

[modern jay]

that's wrong

[full tinsel]

Create performance task ez

[coarse sigil]

is AP CSP hard?

[full tinsel]

No

It's ez

[modern jay]

they shouldn't do that

[frail flax]

Freshmen course for me so I don’t think it is

[coarse sigil]

like self study easy?

[full tinsel]

U just learn badic coding skills and how the internet works

[coarse sigil]

ah

thats free

[full tinsel]

Yea

[short burrow]

shrug

[full tinsel]

The Create Performance Task is super easy

[short burrow]

dude csp is literally an 11th grade class for us

[coarse sigil]

[short burrow]

i wanna take it earlier but

[frail flax]

self studying ap comp sci principles is the dumbest thing you can do bc it’s just a gpa booster nor will you be getting any college credits from it bc basically none accept it

[full tinsel]

Yea

Just a GPA Booster

Although technically by self atudying it

[coarse sigil]

ah

[frail flax]

Should I take APES this freshman year??

[full tinsel]

U could make room for another AP that could boost ur GPA for a course that colleges care abt

[serene jacinth]

Yes
