[full tinsel]

I went to the bucees in St. Augustine

[coarse sigil]

they got restaraunts in bucees now?

[full tinsel]

And Florence for a school field trip

[short burrow]

it's not a gas station bro it's a sovereign state

they make brisket and fudge and stuff

jerky

[full tinsel]

And it changed ma life

[short burrow]

REAL

[full tinsel]

Koulaches

[short burrow]

they have bucees merch

[full tinsel]

I got the fruit sours

And damn

I might have diabetes!

[short burrow]

when in the bible belt u r never that far from bucees merchandise

have u had the beaver nuggets

[full tinsel]

Nah

I should've got some

I have the banana puddinf

Key lime pie

Some fudge

Iced coffee

Korean BBq jerky

Brisket taco

Ye that's wut I got for both stops

[short burrow]

should've tried the iced coffee

they're always like in the middle of nowhere

[full tinsel]

The town in georgia

Isn't that where it is?

I have been to Georgia twice

[short burrow]

OH

idk i went to the one in alabama

i don't wanna go to south georgia bro

[full tinsel]

Oh

[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?

[full tinsel]

For major?

I mean it ultimately depends on how u excel academically in that course

[coarse sigil]

Is a religion grade counted towards my GPA (Does it affect college?)

[pearl mesa]

For the most part, yes

[coarse sigil]

mf

[pearl mesa]

But ask your counselor to be sure

[coarse sigil]

aint no way

bruh

[pearl mesa]

It would make sense

It’s still a class

[rotund stag]

R the all the AP physics classes interesting

[stone hemlock]

Hi hi so next year im gonna be in a hs that offers both ap and dual enrollmet, but dual classes only last for a semster while the ap classes is for the whole year

Should I take like 4 ap classes and the rest dual enrollment or should I do all dual enrollment

And then I just study the ap tests, or nah

[errant stratus]

Every class I should take in high school if I wanna do Cybersecurity that is not a AP class

[stone hemlock]

Yeah so far I really like Ap Physics 1

[rotund stag]

Will I understand the concepts in it as a sophomore

[stone hemlock]

Depends on the teacher

Im doing it rn online and its ok, you do need to study at least 30 mins a day, usually more but ye

[solemn hamlet]

Really depends on your school, how can we know what it offers 💀?

[errant stratus]

Name everything and I'll find out if any of them is offered

They be releasing the course selection stuff soon so either this week or next week or week after that I think?

[solemn hamlet]

Well I'm not even American
🤷

[errant stratus]

Ok I'll wait for an American then

[errant stratus]

Lemme know anytime if ur an American

[modern jay]

I would suggest you take ap classes though

They are very beneficial

[exotic hamlet]

need some career counselling, can i dm someone PLEASEEEE

[languid ruin]

american here

[solemn hamlet]

My DMs are open

[errant stratus]

U know of all courses I can take that helps with Cybersecurity?

[languid ruin]

uhhhh im sorry

[solemn hamlet]

Tbh in general, the only thing that'd matter would be the computer science, maths and English courses for comp science major, no?
Most colleges don't have that specific course requirements iirc, and that depends per college too

Just my general opinion, as I've said I'm not American, but I've done research into us Universities

[exotic hamlet]

THANKYOU SO MUCHHHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAA

[errant stratus]

Oh ok yea a major in computer science with Cybersecurity or whatever it's called

[south cape]

CS1 Advanced
CS2
CS3
Artificial Intelligence

These are what my school offers

In non AP

[tacit lion]

hi is anyone online?

Im 14 graduating to high school soon is there anything I should know about course selection, clubs, or high school in general? i wanna pursue the career of programming, game development/computer science

wait might wanna ask this in #💡ㆍacademic-advice

[modern jay]

Yea

[south cape]

Take CS1, AP CSP, AP CS A and other related courses throughout your high school career

Also participate in coding competitions and Hackathons maybe

Create a coding passion project that is new and beneficial (like an app)

[tacit lion]

my project is a game

im really knew to classes and taking stuff and all of that

*new

[serene helm]

hhi people in a bit of a situation and could use some help with course selection and figuring out which colleges to app to if i can dm u pls lmk

[rich raven]

I’m about to start my sophomore year and I’m wondering if I should take on ramps algebra 2 or AAC algebra 2 on ramps is like a AP weighted class but u get 10 extra points to ur final grade and u get a trans script at UT Austin, but it’s just alot of self teaching

[steady hollow]

If I take 3 IB classes but the rest of my advanced class are AP (junior + senior year), would that look weird to colleges on my transcript/overall application?

[final helm]

No

[steady hollow]

Would I have to justify it on my application somehow? Or would it just not have any impact on the impressions of my application?

[final helm]

It wouldn’t have impact

[steady hollow]

Got it, thanks for the help

[modern jay]

on ramps would be more beneficial and algebra 2 is very easy if you find algebra 1 easy

[desert kelp]

hey i'm going into my freshman year and picking courses rn

[final helm]

Aight u need help?

[desert kelp]

My schedule rn is:

[desert kelp]

yes

please

[final helm]

With what

[desert kelp]

Honors Freshman Eng (P)

Spanish II (P)

Honors Algebra II (P)

PE Course 1

Health Education (P)

Biology (P)

Ethnic Studies (P)

and Concert Band

[rich raven]

Kinda struggled in algebra 1 at the beginning but I’ll just take on ramps if that’s the case

[desert kelp]

sorry the formatting is weird i copy pasted it

[modern jay]

Yea I would suggest it

[desert kelp]

im just deciding whether i should apply for school leadership or do a CTE pathway instead of something else on my schedule

CTE meaning career technical education, or career specific courses

btw health and ethnic studies r both a semester long

both those and PE r required

[rich raven]

What is school leadership at your school?

Like what do you do mainly

[desert kelp]

social media, planning school events, and then theres the ASB, so they take up roles like student body president, treasurer, secretary etc.

ive always kinda found it to be like a popularity contest of who gets in but

doesnt school leadership show comittment or something?

and do i continue band

[rich raven]

Yeah that’s how it always is, but I think the CTE pathway would be a better thing to start with

[desert kelp]

what would i take out of my schedule then rn

its full rn

and which pathway

[rich raven]

Go band It’s really good on applacations

[rich raven]

What pathways are available

[desert kelp]

i want to continue fs

[desert kelp]

intro to engineering, intro to bio med and some others

ill have to check

[rich raven]

I’m im the engeneering pathway right now and I feel like it’s really fun but also really creative at the same time I’m not sure about intro to bio med If your more leaning into the engeneering field I would go for intro to engeneering if you wanna go into the more medicine side of things go for intro to bio med

[desert kelp]

i'm gonna learn python or javascript over the summer, but i don't think i want to become an engineer when i'm older

i'd love to learn more about well

everything

but that means i have to sacrifice periods

[rich raven]

Well pick what suits you, what do you enjoy, what do you like doing in your free time

[velvet nymph]

I would recommend if your leaning towards engineering focus on taking as many math courses as possible and try to take electives that give you experience in engineering

@rich raven Could I also get some help with my schedule?

[rich raven]

Sure

[desert kelp]

okay theres also principles of computer science

okay

thanks

[velvet nymph]

Precalc
APUSH
Chemistry+
English 10
Spanish 2
Gym/digital photo2

Going into sophomore year this is what I have rn

Would it be better to take gym and a fine arts class later and take APstats next year instead

[rich raven]

In my opinion I feel like you should just deal with the fine arts as soon as possible if your not in anything like band and orchestra

And take gym later

[velvet nymph]

I already have half a credit for gym and fine art so I only need 1 semester of each and my jr and sr year schedules are hard so I feel like those classes would be a good break

Bc I don’t want to stack APcalcAB, AP Economics, and AP Physics with APstats

[rich raven]

Then ig you could take gym and fine art sophomore year then

And u could focus more on the harder classes sr and junior year

[ancient hedge]

ok so the course requests for my freshman year just released. Ignore Aud-Vid tech and Healt, those arent what im taking. other than that how does this look?

[wintry sleet]

nice but ap gov is for senior year at my school

[wintry sleet]

i think ur schedule seems fine

[turbid arch]

Geometry 1 & Hon. Geometry 2 (they split our math classes into semesters)
APWH
Chemistry
English 10
Spanish 3
Theater 1 (1 Sem)
Sports Skill and Fitness aka Regular Gym (1 Sem)
Healthy Living/Health (1 Sem/ Required)
International Relations (1 Sem)
Does this look good for Sophomore Year?

[thick heath]

Should i take AP Physics for my junior year? Is it hard?

[vestal nimbus]

It depends on your priorities, do you want to take AP physics? Why? I think it’s kinda hard but if you stay on task and do all your work it’s feasible

[gloomy lotus]

I self-studied it last year - It really wasn't too bad.

Physics gets a bad rep because it's very different than what a lot of "brute-force" subjects are like Stats or Chem. Which is also why it's pass rate is extremely low

Part of it is memorizing formulas and using them, but understanding the concepts is what really makes or breaks your knowledge of the overall topic.

I highly recommend flipping physics on youtube and the princeton review "Cracking AP Physics 1" if you're able to afford it. If you do that on top of paying attention in class you'll do just fine

[cinder gorge]

Is anyone taking the IB Diploma?

[icy thicket]

I'm in eighth grade and I have been recommended for AP Human Geography, Honors English, Honors Biology, and Geometry for freshman year. What should I do?

[gloomy lotus]

I'm in my DP year 1!

[versed basalt]

hows ap euro

[coarse sigil]

what is bros name

[versed basalt]

mb

[cinder gorge]

Do you have any advice on doubling on IB Bio HL and IB Chem HL? 💀

[fringe barn]

Here are the 3 schedules I'm considering Plus ecs

In terms of grades I have all 96 and above for the first semester of freshman year, I need to choose sophomore schedule soon so which of those 3 will be best for a physics major

[gloomy lotus]

A lot of people in my class are double-sciencing and taking both Bio and Chem HL.

It's definitely a combination with a lot of work. From what I know, Chem HL especially is pretty hard - so you'd want a good introductory course to have already taken.

I'm currently in Bio HL and Psych HL as my science courses. Bio really isn't too bad in my opinion, if you're interested in the subject, I would recommend going for it.

If you're someone who really likes science/STEM, you can definitely go for it. But it will be a lot of work and I'm sure the IAs are going to be difficult in DP year 2; but definitely possible if you can manage your time

[cinder gorge]

o77, would you even recommend taking lets say 11th grade IB Bio HL and then IB Physics SL, then IB Bio HL 2 and IB Chem 1 (currently taking IB Chem SL 1 and have an A in the class)

Should I take AP statistics or pre calculus next year any recommendations, I struggled with algebra 2 last semester so not sure which would be best

[tacit valve]

AP maths
Ap science
Dash 1 Language arts
Dash 1 social studies
Options- we gotta choose options and number them from 1-8 here is what i took

Enterprise and innovation
Financial management
Marketing and management
Auto body and intro
General music
Sports performance
Electro technology
Aboriginal studies

Does this look good for my sophomore year or grade 10 if i wanna get into Ivy League universities or some of the best universities?

[coarse sigil]

whats HL?

[pallid trellis]

my guess is "honors level" or something like that

[vital olive]

higher level

it’s the adv level of ib

[coarse sigil]

ah

[vital olive]

my bad

not ap’s

[coarse sigil]

essentially like IB?

[vital olive]

ib

😭😭

[coarse sigil]

a

[vital olive]

it’d 1 am

i’m tired

[coarse sigil]

its like 12:51 am here

[balmy spear]

can anyone suggest some good colleges for a b.arch degree in europe?

[gloomy lotus]

It stands for high level

Two year courses and arguably harder than APs - the exams span two days, etc.

[fringe barn]

?

[solemn hamlet]

Yeah, colleges just want you to take the toughest courses that you can

[coarse sigil]

ong?

whats the difference between dual enrollment vs dual credit

[frigid vale]

What are good alternate courses for AP CSP?

[south cape]

CS A

CS1

[vestal crypt]

do they account factors like school policy, having too many ECs to do a lot of APs etc.

[solemn hamlet]

Yea, they generally ask you and consider the maximum number of APs that your school allows, and ofc considering holistic admissions if you have great ECs than low APs even with school choice can be excused

[south cape]

Is 20 APs over high school too much?

[solemn hamlet]

If you can handle them, and not like at the brink of collapsing handle but having ECs and being fine with life handle, then they're fine, but yeah colleges probably won't mind if you took some non-ap classes

[frigid vale]

Im listing that with CSP because im on the CS path way, and im taking CS1 rn

[frigid vale]

Bro idk why, but when I plan out my highschool career im taking 18+ aps

I just want to take at minimum 10

[coarse sigil]

My school doesn’t even have more than 10

[vestal crypt]

how is that even possible

with required classes and everything

factoring if you have other activities too

My Freshman Schedule 🔥🔥
Algebra 2/Trig Advanced
Biology Advanced
Percussion Ensemble
Phys-Ed 1/Tech-Eng Seminar
Theology 1
Global Studies 1
English 1
Spanish 2

all as advanced as possible, besides elective because theres “advanced” electives just my choice

oh and on level spanish, theres no advanced its just 1-4 and spanish 2 is normal for freshman

so if you were above level you would be on 3 or 4 because of prior experience

no AP options, school doesn’t offer APHUG because its just that useless

[normal ember]

Hey I liked ap hug ☹️

[frigid vale]

I'm taking 4.5 AP's sophmore year, 6 junior year, and 7 senior year, exlcluding summer courses

[frigid vale]

Tienes un gato?

[vestal crypt]

4.5??

[frigid vale]

Yes

[vestal crypt]

how tf does is 3+ even an option sophmore

also do even have ECs

[frigid vale]

u can take as many as u want in freshman year but i took none

[frigid vale]

yes

[normal ember]

No hablo Español

[vestal crypt]

wtf i want that

[south cape]

I’m taking 5 in sophomore

[frigid vale]

[south cape]

What’s tea

TSA

[vestal crypt]

thats not much

[normal ember]

It's a portuguese gato anyway

[vestal crypt]

[vestal crypt]

7-10, car rides, my school has flex time, offseasons, weekends

[frigid vale]

what time does ur schools start

[vestal crypt]

[frigid vale]

oh

then 10-5:45 is less than 8 hours of sleep

[vestal crypt]

5:45 wakeup

well

[frigid vale]

thats like 7 hours and 45 minutes at most

[vestal crypt]

i cant do anything about it

[frigid vale]

oh well

are u advanced in math btw

I try to go to bed at 9-10, and wake up at 6am and then get back home around 3

and I do bjj on fridays and saturdays

[snow canyon]

Bruh thats crazy my school only has ap cs and wh freshman year

[frigid vale]

Lol

[cinder gorge]

My freshman schedule

[robust carbon]

Does your school offer ap's?

[sullen hearth]

what else should i take

[robust carbon]

APES is fine mainly

[sullen hearth]

Should i take anything else?

[robust carbon]

Do you think you can handle chem and physics?

[sullen hearth]

Uhhh

[robust carbon]

(if you have physics AP)

[sullen hearth]

i know for sure i can do chem

idk about physics

i havent taken a physics calss before

[humble crow]

ap chem is hardest ap

[sullen hearth]

nah im pretty good at checm

[humble crow]

or bio

[robust carbon]

[humble crow]

have u done practice ap chem b4

look up previous tets and do sum problems

[sullen hearth]

No but my teacher says she recommends students to take ap chem if they have at least a 85+ in honors

and i had like 95+ al year

[humble crow]

bruh💀

[robust carbon]

dang

[humble crow]

ap chem is crazy hard but do it if u wanna

[sullen hearth]

Alr

Whats hard about it

we just took the moles test and the teacher was like its so hard

[robust carbon]

idk, i think it's the amount of things in the course and the memorization

but it's probably way more than that

[sullen hearth]

oh

have u taken it?

ill ask my chemistrty teacher tmrw

[cinder gorge]

Me?

[sullen hearth]

cuz she teaches ap

and honors

[robust carbon]

yes

[humble crow]

moles are the easiest part of ap chem 😭😭

[cinder gorge]

Not in 9th

[sullen hearth]

no in honors

[cinder gorge]

But there’s like 26 or 28 in total

[sullen hearth]

idk why she was sayin that

[robust carbon]

ok

[humble crow]

yes ik

im jus sayin

[robust carbon]

looks good to me, but maybe the bio could be honors bio?

[cinder gorge]

There’s no honors bio sadly 😦

[robust carbon]

[cinder gorge]

I wish i survive

[robust carbon]

other than that it looks good!

[cinder gorge]

Thank u!

I’m nervous for hon english

[robust carbon]

you'll be fine

[cinder gorge]

All the freshmans say they have a B or C

[sullen hearth]

but like

[cinder gorge]

Ok, I’ll hope it is

[sullen hearth]

i gotta take it either way

[humble crow]

yea

take it but just be warned its difficult

[sullen hearth]

Ok

[robust carbon]

APES is ez right

[humble crow]

yes

[robust carbon]

yass

[humble crow]

super ez

[sullen hearth]

can u tell kme what else is hard or easy

[humble crow]

oj

ok

like which classes?

[sullen hearth]

Bro moles was the easiest unit in honors lol

yes

[humble crow]

yea

[fringe barn]

Can someone look at this?

[humble crow]

not bad

[errant stratus]

heyo found my course selections which shall i take if i wanna do cybersecurity as my future career? (taking finacial literacy as thats required but what else?)

lemme know anytime

[vestal crypt]

well what have you decided on yourself vs what you arent sure about

[errant stratus]

theres also computer information systems, computer engineering 1 and 2,

[errant stratus]

wdym by this?

[vestal crypt]

Which options have you decided on yourself already

and

which are you unsure about

[errant stratus]

i've taken cybersecurity 1 and now taking 2, i've taken computer programming 1 and i think 2? or maybe it was just year 1 of computer science
anway im not sure on year 2 and 3 for computer programming, computer engineering 1 and 2, computer information systems

[sullen hearth]

How much harder is ap pre calc then honors allg 2

alg 2

[forest mural]

easy 👍

[sullen hearth]

easier?

[forest mural]

well maybe im not the right person to ask

i should be in calc ab / bc but I was lazy and didnt take pre calc over the summer

the class is pretty easy so far

i havent had to study anything

[sullen hearth]

im not doing great not doing terrrible in alg 2 rn i have a 95 but usually its like 93 or 92

[forest mural]

you should be fine

[sullen hearth]

alr

[forest mural]

not sure why they made pre calc

an ap class though

[hexed raft]

hey, a rising junior here. Only have taken 1 ap so far in hs and was looking to possibly take ap lang but I just wanted to know if its worth the time or if it isn't as crazy hard as it seems for those that have taken it especially cuz i apparently would have a difficult teacher

[coarse sigil]

not as hard as ap lit

you should be fine

[wintry sleet]

ap pre calc is doable

[wintry sleet]

how hard is ap lit

[coarse sigil]

hardest reading aP

[wintry sleet]

cause im in ap lang rn and gonna take ap lit next grade

[coarse sigil]

If you're looking to skip into AP pre calc, i wouldnt say its worth it. you learn less in AP pre calc than in normal pre calc

[coarse sigil]

I mean thats doable

all depends on the teacher tho

[sullen hearth]

wdym normal pre calc

[coarse sigil]

better not have a crappy teacher

[sullen hearth]

like i learn more in regular pre calc

then whats the point of takiujng ap

[wintry sleet]

i heard our teacher is pretty chill

[wintry sleet]

this is true, im in ap pre calc rn and my teacher said normal pre calc covers more stuff

[coarse sigil]

Its bc that course is designed for students that are maxing out at ap pre calc

nthing higher

[sullen hearth]

Oh

[coarse sigil]

so senior year would be ap pre calc

but

[sullen hearth]

ohhh

[coarse sigil]

if u want to take ap pre calc sure why not

but u learn less

[wintry sleet]

im doin calc ab next grade

[sullen hearth]

that is applicable to ap calc ab correct?

[wintry sleet]

yes pre calc is required

[coarse sigil]

yes

[sullen hearth]

no like in regular pre calc we learn more which we use in ap calc ab

right

[coarse sigil]

algebra 1 --> Geometry --> pre calc --> calc

[sullen hearth]

alg 2

[coarse sigil]

yes

[sullen hearth]

?

[wintry sleet]

alg 2 is after geometry

[coarse sigil]

oh yeah mb

squeeze that in rq

[coarse sigil]

why not aim for calc BC?

why AB?

[wintry sleet]

there is also ap stats too which u can take instead of pre calc

[sullen hearth]

Ill look into it

[coarse sigil]

harder than AB

[sullen hearth]

Im pretty sure i gotta talk to my counselor though

because AB is a pre req for BC

[coarse sigil]

good

ah

take AB over teh summer

[sullen hearth]

but i could take senior year bc

but i think ima take stats

stats seems useful

[wintry sleet]

then ur gonna max out at pre calc?

[sullen hearth]

no max out at ap calc ab

[wintry sleet]

oh same

[sullen hearth]

then senior take stats

[coarse sigil]

for me I plan to do dual enroll

[wintry sleet]

nice

[coarse sigil]

or multivariable

[sullen hearth]

im not great at math

im much better at science ngl

[coarse sigil]

always room for improvement

ah science

[sullen hearth]

and social studies

[vestal nimbus]

It is

A lot of majors require it

Even the ones you don’t think would need it

Like psychology, medicine, art…

[sullen hearth]

oh cool

idk i just think its very useful to know statistics

[vestal nimbus]

it’s just good to learn how to read / do stats in the first place

[vestal nimbus]

Oui

definitely take it

[sullen hearth]

yea

[vestal nimbus]

I liked AP stats

[sullen hearth]

mhm thats what i was gonna do

Have you taken ap euro

[vestal nimbus]

Unfortunately that wasn’t offered at my school

I took the social sciences AP’s I took were AP human geo , AP World Hist, AP US Hist, AP Gov, AP Macro Econ, and AP psych

[languid ruin]

i see you @vestal nimbus

[languid ruin]

i took a lot of ap social science classes

however the only one that was useful to me was ap gov

[vestal nimbus]

[languid ruin]

all the other ap credits for me was useless

[vestal nimbus]

Oh! I forgot abt that

[hexed flax]

Does anyone know if AP Biology is worth taking

I chose Physics instead

[coarse sigil]

Quick question, whats the best major for real estate? I'm stuck between economics, finance, and business administration

literally all of them seems like a good major for real estate

cant really differentiate

[main plume]

theyre all good

[coarse sigil]

all of them are so similar yet so different

[vestal nimbus]

I think all of them are good, you get trained when you become a real estate agent anyway

[coarse sigil]

nuh uh

i despise agents

"investor"

[vestal nimbus]

So it’s good to have a general understanding of the economy

[sullen hearth]

Should i take ap us history next year( sophomore year) then just take ap gov and econ junior or take apeuro sophmore and apush junior

[vestal nimbus]

I guess economics would be a good major?

[coarse sigil]

alr

[main plume]

buisness administration

[coarse sigil]

.

[vestal nimbus]

Depends on your priorities

[languid ruin]

it depends on your schedule

and teachers

and priorities

[sullen hearth]

Can i show you?

[languid ruin]

sure

[vestal nimbus]

I really liked AP bio but then again I’m a biology major lol

[main plume]

personally id go with buisness administration

[hexed flax]

I chose History 101, and a Dual Honors math class which is Trignometry and Algebra II

[vestal nimbus]

Your priorities like what field you want to go into / majors in mind / do you like the subject?

[hexed flax]

My school removed APUSH and AP Literature for some reason

[main plume]

but depends on the school and what their best programs are

[hexed flax]

I want to have some sort of Computer Science or programming major

[coarse sigil]

alr bro, ima choose this

[vestal nimbus]

Oh I see, welcome to the server btw

[coarse sigil]

but some ivies dont have business administration?

[hexed flax]

Thanks

[sullen hearth]

This is what i got for sophmore year i still lf one more credit just confused in the history aspect

[hexed flax]

Should I stick with Physics?

[main plume]

right, depends whats offered

[vestal nimbus]

I think AP physics would be a better choice then

[coarse sigil]

ah so second choice is going to be economics

thanks bud

[main plume]

gl bro

[hexed flax]

my school doesnt offer AP Physics 💀

[coarse sigil]

[hexed flax]

keep up the grind

[vestal nimbus]

Normal physics is also fine

[hexed flax]

I see you have AP Chemistry I heard thats a super difficult class

[vestal nimbus]

Or Honors, whatever it is

[vestal nimbus]

AP chem was the bane of my existence

And I’m really good at chem

[hexed flax]

I hate chemistry so much, I get super lost because the teacher talks super quick

[main plume]

high school ap chems difficulty is overexaggerated imo

[vestal nimbus]

Have you taken chem yet? Or are you jumping straight into AP chem??

[coarse sigil]

suicidal class in fact

[vestal nimbus]

If it’s the latter case then I would suggest taking HS chem first…

[sullen hearth]

Ofc i’m in honors chem it’s a pre req lol

[vestal nimbus]

Oh okay good

[sullen hearth]

YeH nah lowkey i’m chillin in chem

it’s light

[vestal nimbus]

I thought I just witnessed the downfall of a student

[main plume]

honors chem is lowkey overhyped

not even on the same level as calc

or lit

[vestal nimbus]

They’re… different subjects :?

[sullen hearth]

Wdym overhyped

[main plume]

difficulty wise

[sullen hearth]

it’s not

and

that’s an honors and those ap

[main plume]

ap

[sullen hearth]

compare ap chem to those

oh

[vestal nimbus]

It depends on the school and curriculum

[opal peak]

Does anyone have advice for choosing HL courses for the DP program (IB system, not AP/Honors classes)?

[main plume]

my hs chem was through th euniversity of washington, and some just regular hs classes were harder

[coarse sigil]

for me, i can jump straight into ap chem next year, taking bio rn. its like a 95% dropout rate. it started with 54 kids and only 5 remaining

[vestal nimbus]

I’m not too knowledgeable on it but I do know it (went to an IB school)
What do you need help with?

[sullen hearth]

gl

[coarse sigil]

ima take ap bio

thats light

[sullen hearth]

bio is light

[vestal nimbus]

Lol

[sullen hearth]

like the easiest science

physics hard i think

[vestal nimbus]

Haha

[coarse sigil]

ap physics 1 > ap chem?

[main plume]

fs

[sullen hearth]

prob

WAIT GUYS

[opal peak]

Well I'm considering how many HL courses to take and how much it would affect acceptance to colleges. To ge tthe full IB diploma I need to take a minimum of 3 HL classes, but it is possible to take 4, although not recomended and usually teachers say it isnt worth it, but I can't find any info on if doing the extra course really affects acceptance to a good school?

[coarse sigil]

ai

[sullen hearth]

y’all didn’t answer my questions

[topaz wyvern]

Im in the same boat as you. Let me know if you find anything useful

[main plume]

what were they

[sullen hearth]

^^^ ap euro or apush

[main plume]

flip a coin

both are boring

[sullen hearth]

honestly

i will

[main plume]

lose lose situation

[vestal nimbus]

There’s a multitude of factors that go into increasing your acceptance rate

In this case, I would recommend for you to take 3HL courses and do well on them rather than overload yourself and take 4 then proceed to do subpar

[sullen hearth]

bro i’m in ap world

and i just sleep the entire class

it’s so boring

[vestal nimbus]

3HL & A’s > 4 HL & not A’s

[opal peak]

Thanks! that is what I assumed but I really wasn't sure.

[vestal nimbus]

If you think you can handle it then I will always encourage you to take more

just don’t bite off more than you can chew (like I did lol, 8 AP’s in one year)

[sullen hearth]

Wait my friends says i should take apush sophmore and ap gov one semester and econ 2nd semester to satisfy my social studies credits

should i

[main plume]

thats smart

[vestal nimbus]

Looking back, if I spaced out my AP’s, I could have gotten a better score on them

[sullen hearth]

So should i

[vestal nimbus]

Do it if you want to

[sullen hearth]

Is ap euro hard

[coarse sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/kurt-kurt-angle-100-yard-stare-what-are-you-serious-gif-4081464694509837388

[vestal nimbus]

And if you can handle it

?

[vestal nimbus]

No not really

[main plume]

apush is harder

maybe not harder but its one big snooze fest

[coarse sigil]

yap session

[opal peak]

Yeah. I think I will continue to aim for 4 but be ready to drop one down to an SL. My school is a bit odd and doesnt have many options, and some of the options are a bit convoluted, so for example my 4th HL (that im considering but unsure) is HL Math, considered the hardest HL course in the IB, except my school has never offered it until this year, where a group of students including myself basically made an afterschool group to study the content in order to be able to take the class in senior year (as an actual class), so what I'm thinking right now is to continue with that and if it becomes to much I can drop it. One of the advantages for this is that its separate from school so it hasn't affected my grades, and I don't have to fully decide on my HL's until August next year....

[vestal nimbus]

This is a good plan

Good luck Glowface

[opal peak]

👍

[deft maple]

Is there any other college credit programs other than AP, IB, dual credit, and CLEP?

[plain hemlock]

Any suggestions

[merry spade]

my guy, these photos are barely readable

[plain hemlock]

lol mb

[merry spade]

what do you like though?

[plain hemlock]

Comp sci but im doing that for dual enrollment

[merry spade]

then AP computer science, java, and robotics?

[plain hemlock]

I just elective suggestions for second choice

Alr taking java and robotics this year

And im self studying ap csp next year

[merry spade]

well i would suggest asking someone else for another perspective

[plain hemlock]

Ok

Thx

[merry spade]

np

[dreamy canopy]

Should I take apes or regular physio and anatomy next yr (senior yr)

[plain hemlock]

wht ur major?

[dreamy canopy]

Bio related. I might need the gpa boost tho but apes isnt related to my major

And my mom keeps saying it's useless

[merry spade]

oh AP is never useless

[plain hemlock]

whats ur current gpa?

[plain hemlock]

ye

[dreamy canopy]

It's like a 3.8

Around that

[plain hemlock]

why not take honors physio? isnt it weighted

or is there any weighted bio class?

[dreamy canopy]

Our honors courses aren't weighted at our school 🥲

[plain hemlock]

lol same with us

[dreamy canopy]

I'm taking AP bio this yr

So

[plain hemlock]

do u think that will bring it up to a 4.0 or something

[dreamy canopy]

If I get straight As senior yr it would

Go above that even

[plain hemlock]

i mean apes is kinda related to bio, and its an ap so i would go with that

[dreamy canopy]

Ok ok thank u!

[plain hemlock]

u might wanna ask others too

[somber umbra]

I just picked my junior year classes, how does this look:
American Literature Honors
Algebra II/Trigenometry Honors
History 101/102 (Dual Enrollment)
Chemistry
Drawing
AP Psychology

[main plume]

looks solid

If you have a little more in you I would reccomend taking advanced chem if your school offers it, but obviously not if that feels like too much

[plain hemlock]

That looks good

[somber umbra]

I wish we did but our school is kinda small so it was either chem or physics

And if I want to pick an AP science senior year I need chem so yeah

[spark parcel]

y'all how hard is AP bio?

[heavy quiver]

Does anyone know what general classes you would need to take in Year 11/12 in Australia to get into an aerospace engineering degree

[tawdry pewter]

YALL does anyone know if anatomy/physiology counts towards UC science requirements? pls lmk asap i gotta pick classes tommorow

also if you respond can you ping me

[heavy quiver]

Also Software Engineering Degree

[quick saffron]

Should I take honor or regular geometry I currently have a A- the other point is usually mistakes

I haven’t asked my teacher recommendations

[vestal crypt]

yall know how some schools have these insane docs explaining their whole course selection system and a disorganized sheet

schools should do it like this:

[errant stratus]

Lemme know anytime if and what I should do for the classes I'm not sure about

[vestal crypt]

-Course selection sheet per grade, has each category then under the category classes with a checkbox (check = do that class)

Course description book: Starts with explaining some academic policy + graduation requirements, then lists classes (by category) with the class description and pre-reqs

[wraith elm]

Hey everyone this is what my schedule for next year (sophomore year) is looking like:

AP Precalculus
Spanish III
AP World History
Chamber Orchestra
STEM/Gifted Chemistry
10th Grade Comp/Lit
Scientific Research

In the future I want to become a computational neuroscientist. My heart says to keep with Spanish and orchestra until graduation, but my brain says to drop one of them for AP CSP.

I could either drop one or the other (not sure which one) or keep both. What would yall recommend. I’ll ask my counselor as well before finalizing anything.

[wooden vector]

Hi everyone this is my current schedule for sophomore year next year

Ap Chem
Ap Calc BC
Ap CSA
Orchestra
Hrs English 10
Ap or Hrs world history?
Spanish 3

I was wondering if I should take AP or Hrs world history and if I should replace orchestra with an engineering course -- they both hold the same weight. What would u recommend?

[modern jay]

Ap world history is better

It’s not that much harder

Also keep orchestra

[modern jay]

AP CSP is not as much useful as Spanish and orchestra

Because a lot of colleges don’t even accept the computer science principles credit

[magic orbit]

APCSA > APCSP

[fervent jasper]

How hard is AP Physics 1?

[modern jay]

Really hard

Just study a lot

[fervent jasper]

Here’s the rest of my schedule for next year, would you recommend I take it?

English 3 (non honors)
Precalc H
Spanish 4H
APUSH
AP Gov
AP Econ
Orchestra

[chilly lance]

This is what my schedule for 7th grade looks like

How much work is lang?

[errant stratus]

Available anytime today for an answer so from now at 10 10 am to 4 28 am tomorrow

[coarse sigil]

I wnat to take ap calc AB next year for sophmore

however my school wouldnt let me bc they said taking 2 maths over the summer (algebra 2 and pre calc) isn't doable

what counter arguement can I come up against that?

[modern jay]

I haven’t taken it but I’ve heard that it is useful and it is not as bad as lit

It’s way easier

[modern jay]

You need algebra 2 to take pre cal

Try to learn algebra 2 to do a credit by exam to take precal

If you really desire it

[coarse sigil]

Im taking algebra 2 over the summer

but they wont allow me to take pre calc too

double math

[modern jay]

There is algebra 2 stuff in precal and you need to know that before hand

It is a prerequisite towards precal

That’s why

[vague ocean]

wanting to be a business major, do you think going into junior and senior year it is better to continue taking science and history for 4 years (APush, AP human geo, hon physics, AP chem) or swapping out human geo and AP chem (i already took hon chem this year) for AP stat and hon economics

[sullen hearth]

is it ok i’m doubling science sophmore year, ap chem and apes i wanna take apes cuz i don’t think it’ll be that hard and itd just be a free ap am i right?

[sullen hearth]

Answer above, this is my current schedule:
AP Pre Calc
AP Chem
APES
APush
English 2 Honors
Floral design
Life time wellness (PE)

[modern jay]

yea but ap chem is the hardest ap in all of high school

[prime sierra]

Hi I'm in 8th grade about to go to high school so I just want to know whether an IB school is better or a magnet school is better because I got into both

[sullen hearth]

Alr but how much hw will i get from apes and from my entire schedule?

[cursive prawn]

yea its rough

[opaque pivot]

depends on your school, but at mine the ap classes are project after project with a lot of hw

[sullen hearth]

Is it like hard?

also what ap classes

[opaque pivot]

that's based on your skill level, but they're meant to be really challenging

[sullen hearth]

this is what i’m taking sophmore year i got 3 free class

[modern jay]

I have no clue

But it’s pretty easy from what I have heard

[robust carbon]

I've heard it's pretty easy

[sullen hearth]

Alr

[robust carbon]

But you might gets lots of homework from calc and chem

[sullen hearth]

Yeah thats fine

Our chem teacher is pretty chill

and she is a good teacher

[robust carbon]

dang

hopefully i can relate soon

[sullen hearth]

i know because

i have her for honors chem and she teaches ap too

[robust carbon]

dang

[sullen hearth]

lowk only calss thyat has been hard for me is geometry

i be strugglin

[robust carbon]

[final helm]

Subjective

[modern jay]

Yea it could be

[full ivy]

Is AP computer science principles hard?

[final helm]

Nope

From what I’ve heard it’s free

[proven sparrow]

classes for freshman

english 1 adv
geometry adv (plan on taking credit by exam so alegbra 2 ig)
biology adv
APUSH

spanish 2
soccer

[full ivy]

APUSH?

[proven sparrow]

ap us history

[craggy sky]

taking it right now

[full ivy]

Ah

[craggy sky]

did the whole curriculum twice in like 4 months

easy gpa

[full ivy]

So I should take it?

[craggy sky]

i did use code.org and codehs so your mileage may vary

take it if you know little to nothing about computers or if you aren’t very logical

[full ivy]

I learned c++ for like a year and took off school courses (On c++) does c++ help at all with the class?

[craggy sky]

but if you already have a good foundation you should prob take AP CSA

i did python and javascript, so i can’t vouch for how it’d go

[full ivy]

Whats the class about anyway?

[craggy sky]

but knowing basic logical structures and frameworks would 100% help

the course is on a programming language of the teachers choice

along with how the internet works

[full ivy]

I should read the class's description

[craggy sky]

yeah

also go talk to other people who took the class and see how they did

[full ivy]

"AP-Computer science is a college level computing course that introduces students to a blah blah blah" Theres no language here :/

[final helm]

APUSH in freshman is wild

[full ivy]

How did you get a AP class in freshman year?

[proven sparrow]

is that a no

[final helm]

I’m doing ap human geography

[proven sparrow]

my hs lets us take it

[final helm]

Nah it’s just that usually apush is taken by juniors

[robust carbon]

lucky highschool

[final helm]

Very challenging course

To take in freshman

[full ivy]

what schools do yall go to 😭 My school only allows AP classes in sophmore year minimum

[proven sparrow]

im scared-

[proven sparrow]

thats kinda wild

[full ivy]

No not really

My friend is somehow taking Calc in freshman year

[proven sparrow]

woah

[full ivy]

Im still here tryna learn alg 1

[proven sparrow]

my alegbra teacher is so bad like i have to teach myself

[blazing hawk]

yall schools offer ap classes? lmao

[full ivy]

My algebra teacher is good but I dont get the subject 😭

[full ivy]

Yours dosent?

[blazing hawk]

australian lmfao

[proven sparrow]

your school offers like none?

[blazing hawk]

none

they dont do advanced classes really past yr 9

[full ivy]

I wana get into MIT but with me only going into Geo (Normal not advanced) im not gonna get accepted*

[proven sparrow]

idk if colleges would like that..

[craggy sky]

whats up with that anyway?

i dont undertsand the obsession with ivy's

like does it really matter after like 5 years?

[full ivy]

MIT has a really good comp sci program

Y e s

[signal basin]

i think its just more of rep

[proven sparrow]

theyre overrated

[signal basin]

whenever your applying for jobs, which are getting more and more competitive, they usually choose the best applicants

ivy leagues are extremely hard to get into

[craggy sky]

yeah but is the rep that good?

[signal basin]

yes

they have a whole section

[full ivy]

If your an employer and you have 2 employees one who student went into MIT and the other went into the university of illionois

[signal basin]

dedicated to them..

[full ivy]

who u gonna choose

[signal basin]

they have the rep because they teach well

i mean u can do good regardless but

[craggy sky]

don'temployers care more about experience though?

[full ivy]

Im not making it into MIT at all tho

[full ivy]

Sorta

[signal basin]

u cant say that

u havent tried

[full ivy]

:-: its true tho

[signal basin]

"true tho" your basing the fact that you wont get into MIT because your taking alg 1 in 8th grade..

the regular start up for alg 1 is 9th

so your basically a year ahead

doesnt matter if u dont get it

just keep trying

[full ivy]

Yea but people who apply to MIT are people like my nerd friend who finished PRE CALC in 8th grade

how tf do i even compare to that

[signal basin]

i dont think thats even possible

wait

where are u

US?

[full ivy]

yes

[signal basin]

i guess just different school systems

[full ivy]

He finished algebra one in 5th grade :-:

[signal basin]

but why compare yourself to others?

just work towards yourself

by comparing yourself to others that creates doubt

[blazing hawk]

ikr its dogshit

essentially means im fucked if i wanna go to an ivy league or sum shit

[signal basin]

even if he took better math than u

that doesnt define if you're gonna get into MIT or not

[proven sparrow]

atp youd have a better chance if you were online or homeschooled damn

[blazing hawk]

my point exactly

[full ivy]

Ok besides that how would I even get into MIT? I have no guides no tips nothing

[blazing hawk]

im getting A+’s in all my. lasses because its fuckin easy

[signal basin]

you're in 8th grade

why are u worrying so much about it

rn

[blazing hawk]

australia’s education system is really fuckin lacking

[full ivy]

Because the moment I step into 9th everything begins to count

[full ivy]

The US's is terrible ngl

question

[proven sparrow]

frr also when tf am i going to need to know cos??

[full ivy]

why do we learn alg and higher if we gonna forget it in 5 years :I

[craggy sky]

the point isn't to maybe use it later in life

the point is to build logical and critical thinkinf=g

[vestal crypt]

basic algebra is simple

[full ivy]

Also looks good

[vestal crypt]

forgetting it is like forgetting how to multiply and divide

[full ivy]

I have no idea how people say that ngl

[vestal crypt]

finding variables is free

theres always a logical step to it

[blazing hawk]

is apush really that bad

[full ivy]

History is hard in itself

[vestal crypt]

school based

[blazing hawk]

ohhh

[full ivy]

Imagine AP US history in Freshman year

[vestal crypt]

imagine having APs freshman year

[full ivy]

Wdym 2 choices?

[blazing hawk]

i have all advanced classes and im a freshman lol

we have advanced class in yr 9 but in yr 10 they all just… dissapear

[vestal crypt]

my school doesn’t have most classes with an advanced option

[blazing hawk]

[vestal crypt]

or freshman APS

[full ivy]

Should I take AB/BC geo or normal geo?

[proven sparrow]

ap us history

[full ivy]

My schools way of saying 100% of the textbook taught

[proven sparrow]

mb thought you didnt know it

[full ivy]

Everyone says its like REALLY fuckin hard

[proven sparrow]

so am i fucked next year taking it

[full ivy]

Y e s

[vestal crypt]

AP HUG isnt real

no schools in my area offer it

[blazing hawk]

i mean you’ll probably be fine. history is mostly reliant on memory so if your memory is okay youll be aight

[proven sparrow]

pray for me

[proven sparrow]

wait my memory is so good

[full ivy]

Is browski taking it :I

[blazing hawk]

then youll be aigjt

[full ivy]

Isnt history debating stuff? like my history class is mostly us learning something (ww2) then either saying that it was like good for the US to step in late or etc

[proven sparrow]

still worried but if it gets hard ill drop out

[full ivy]

Dont you have like 5 days to drop out?

[proven sparrow]

first 6 weeks

[full ivy]

W a t

My school offers us 5 DAYS to drop a class

[proven sparrow]

5 days is crazy

[signal basin]

talk to your consuler about that- it can differ between schools

[full ivy]

D A Y S

TF YOU MEAN 6 WEEKS???

[proven sparrow]

i feel so bad for you

[full ivy]

If I take AP Us history and its fun for the first week and then its REALLY hard im cooked

Also whats the SAT/ACT?

[proven sparrow]

you dont have to worry about that rn but theyre college admission tests

youre cooked if you get an "average" score

[full ivy]

:I

[full tinsel]

Just study hard

[full ivy]

average is cooked?

[full tinsel]

Alr so I just finalized my schedule

AP World
AP Lang
AP Precalc
AP Physics I
Adv. Topics in Chem
AP Chem
Honors Wind Ensemble
Spanish IV
and mostly...
Honors New Mexico State Law (jk)

[full ivy]

What class are you?

Senior?

Sophmore???

or my math may be shitty

[full ivy]

Saul killed McGill

[full tinsel]

Your right

That was said at my court hearing

Anyways

Ye

I figured the Physics and Chem could work together

Just like me at Wexler-McGill 10 20 years ago

Heard it'll help in prepartion of PSAT

[full ivy]

Court hearing? (I didnt finish bcs

[full tinsel]

Uhhh

Anyways

Double AP science sounds fun

[blazing hawk]

sounds nightmarish

Hello,
So my school has been introducing the IB diploma and the courses with it. Im a sophomore and im honestly not completely sure about it. If i take it I will not be able to pick any electives since there is not time in mu schedule. I also heard some students talk badly about it. Is the IB diploma worth it?

Choose the ones that look most interesting to you

[fringe barn]

No one responded to my ideas which schedule should I choose for sophomore year of high school as a physics major

[novel ingot]

we don't know how much you can handle

if you're going for t20s or selective unis then go for as much as you handle

as a random internet stranger its hard to know a) your ability to handle challenging coursework and b) the difficulty of those classes in your area

AP chem might be good tho

[fringe barn]

Thank you

That's the one I've been told to do by most people so I'm probably going to go with it

[topaz wyvern]

I’m trying to get accepted into CS/software engineering in Uni. I am currently applying for HS. Do I take the IB program for one year and drop it to get in an environment with like minded students and gain study habits so when I drop it dash 1 would be easier for me or do I stick to dash 1? I will have to do extra work in IB rather than dash 1 and it will be harder for me to get higher grades.

And also, do I take dash 1 in all classes or dash 2 for Social Studies because it is near useless for what I want to study.

[olive veldt]

Is AP bio hard and should I take it as a sophomore

[glossy berry]

Should I take ap computer science principles as a freshman?

[full ivy]

As a freshman?

[robust canopy]

yes

[olive veldt]

It is not that hard

[full ivy]

Depends what your computer knowledge?

[robust canopy]

easy class which I personally enjoyed

[olive veldt]

I have friends who take it and it is really light

[robust canopy]

you don't need any

[full ivy]

Ik but general knowledge wise

[robust canopy]

I didn't have any and I'm doing fine rn

[olive veldt]

Like if u do not know anything about computers then it is harder but it is easy

[robust canopy]

it's easy either way

if you know how to code already it'll be extremely easy

[olive veldt]

That is what I said

[full ivy]

Whats the difference (college wise) between taking an Accelerated course and normal course? (AC English vs Normal english for example)

[olive veldt]

AC

??

[full ivy]

Accelerated english

[olive veldt]

In English

I guess it is the same principle as math

[full ivy]

Yes? My school has an Accelerated english course and normal course for every year

Is there a difference like for colleges?

[olive veldt]

They cover more and go faster is that no just advance honors

[olive veldt]

No

Only ap and dual enrollment are like the classes that matter and other activities

[full ivy]

So colleges dont care if I take normal geo instead of advanced geo?

[olive veldt]

No

It is good if u do it get u better at time management and workload

I use to go to a regular school and the. Changed to magnet and did all advance honors and it took me a bit

[stiff zenith]

AP Lang MCQ is SAT reading but worse

[olive veldt]

Is ap lang the one u got to talk about book or is that ap lit

[full ivy]

So Ima take Advanced Geo prob thx

[stiff zenith]

i think Lit bc lit is fiction

[olive veldt]

But see if it is to hard tho cause u do not want to over go

[stiff zenith]

i mean i think it looks like maybe marginally better but it's not like the deciding factor for like one class, if it's like a pattern that's a little different

[olive veldt]

He is talking about college

[zenith ibex]

I suck at math, but I’m interested in a STEM career. Should I take AP statistics or pre-calculus?

[olive veldt]

The only data colleges give out is that and test scores

[stiff zenith]

Yeah that's what I'm referring to

[stiff zenith]

AP Stats is the social studies of math courses, do you like social studies classes

[frail flax]

is 3 ap classes too much for freshman year

i see ppl struggling with 2

[robust canopy]

depends on which APs

[frail flax]

ap comp sci prin, APES, and ap human

[robust canopy]

those aren't bad from what I've heard but I've only taken AP CSP

I think APES might be the hardest of those

[frail flax]

you took 1 ap through highschool?

[robust canopy]

no

Of those 3 APs

[frail flax]

oj

h

ppl say. that apes is the easiest science ap

[robust canopy]

yeah

then you're prob fine

depends on how hard your core classes are

[frail flax]

i have alg 2 honors eng 9 honors

those r my other core classes

[robust canopy]

sounds easily manageable depending on your teachers and what you're used to

[frail flax]

ohh yea

and honors biology

[zenith ibex]

For sure.

[frail flax]

go for it

college readiness

but im confused how u cant take a elective bc for us we have to take a arts and a langiage

and also ti boost ur gps

gpa

[stiff zenith]

Then take AP stats over precalc

[lone lion]

pre calc is a requirement

[odd canyon]

this year as a junior in highschool, i am taking CS, Physics, Chem, Mtahs and english is that enough or maybe more?

i will do languages thru sites and apps and i was hoping if i should do more to boost my college app?

[vocal pivot]

Hi everyone!
Does anyone know someone who applied to NUS (not Yale-NUS)? I want to apply there as an international student but have very limited information about the applications and scholarships

[blazing hawk]

best stem classes out of these?

[rigid gull]

why not methods

[vocal pivot]

personally, I'd choose biology or engineering)

[vestal nimbus]

Depends on what you’re aiming for, I will always say biology lol

[blazing hawk]

because im skipping a grade, and frankly? skipping a grade of the hardest )overall( math my school offers isnt something im keen on

[heavy quiver]

Maths is definitely the most important. Physics, Chem, Digital Solutions (or whatever one is CS) and Engineering are all great in my experience.

[steady shore]

my school offers ap us history at 10th grade.. good idea or no?

[sand shoal]

No because we have a 9 block period and if i take all the courses required i have 2 periods left. One of them is lunch and the last one is an advisory

[languid ruin]

yes

[soft shell]

Should I take a leadership next year or should I take an Ap instead?

[languid ruin]

why not both

[full tinsel]

Am doing it rn at ADX Montrose

Pretty interesting stuff

[coarse sigil]

real

[thick heath]

Uhh so my courses for my junior year look like this:

AP pre calc
AP comp sci
APUSH
AP phys

Eng 3 dual credit but i might take AP lang
comp sci 2 but i might do it over the summer

Does this seem manageable/reasonable or like way tm? I took my first AP this year and i feel like im doing a lot more.

[full ivy]

My selection of classes for freshman year is

Freshman English Accelerated
Geometry (Haven't decided if I should take advanced yet)
Biology Accelerated (I cant get into chem Accelerated cause that needs you to be in already)
World History and Geography (Required to take in either summer, 9th or 10th grade)
Computer programming 2 (Il take 1 in the summer)
Spanish 2

Is this good enough to take in freshman year?

These classes fulfill all of the 9th grade requirements.
My dream college is MIT. I'm thinking about a comp sci or engineering degree in college
I cant take any AP's until my sophomore year I'm planning to take AP computer principles or AP computer A there.
I'm also thinking maybe instead of programming I could take engineering as an elective or maybe intro to Business.

[viral hinge]

class selection for freshman year:
Honors English 1
Honors Algebra 2
Honors Physics
Honors World 1
Honors French 3
Study of Dance (required)
school name dance company

is this good?

want to major in engineering/bio/chem

[flat valve]

Is AP Physics-1 gonna be difficult if I'm also planning on taking AP Calc BC, AP Lang, and APUSH in the same year?

[gloomy lotus]

Yeah that's a pretty difficult schedule

BC and APUSH are pretty hard classes themselves; physics 1 is hard because it's really new to a lot of students (style of questions, etc.)

[frail flax]

no because i think you need to be good at math for MIT

geometry is average but i think for high level colelges like that most ppl take alg 2 in freshman

[polar plaza]

^

finish precalc by the time junior year starts
