so it just depends on what you think you’re capable of and what you want to accomplish

Make sure you have time for EC’s and college apps! Otherwise I really like this schedule—my school doesn’t offer like half the stuff on your schedule 😭

Ex: surgical tech, pharmacy tech, etc

is apes worth it?

wet vigil
#

I’m gonna be a freshman at hs next year, there’s an option to take World History over the summer. Is it worth it?

bright turtle
#

Is there ap world that you could take over the summer?

#

Or does your school offer ap world

vestal nimbus
#

Wdym by worth it? What are you looking to get out of it

languid ruin
vestal nimbus
#

Oui

bright turtle
#

I guess ap es depends since for me, I want to go into stem, and since the only ap science classes offered to sophomores at my school are ap physics 1 and ap es, so ig these are my only options :/

vestal nimbus
#

The college credit can be a bonus (taking academically rigorously classes help boost apps)

polar plaza

+teaches u how to handle more rigor

bright turtle
#

Ok thx even though I wasn't th dude that asked if it was worth it

vestal nimbus
#

Oops

Welp, hopefully this helped you anyway haha

#

apes is generally considered an easier ap

vestal nimbus
#

Um… it really depends on how well you can handle the course load too

polar plaza
#

so its good for gpa boosting

vestal nimbus
#

If you take on a bunch of APs and then do badly in it…

#

Then it’s not recommended to take so many APs

vestal nimbus
polar plaza
#

my school has never offered 😭

vestal nimbus
#

You should take it if you want to take it

#

I think it was a really fun class too

cursive prawn
#

ok bet thanks mate

It was one of the easiest APs for me

languid ruin

yeah

it was during the covid years isnt it right

vestal nimbus

I basically self taught most of my APs…

short burrow
#

so if i dont have like,,, room in my schedule for science APs but i wanna go into a science major is that. ok

#

i was gonna sub science classes with internships + gifted research since those r both offered at my school

#

and i figured

#

itd make up for the lack of ap science

vestal nimbus

Some admissions officers may wonder why you don’t have any room tho

What classes are you taking rn?

#

@lavish shale ?

Do you still need help?

# vestal nimbus What classes are you taking rn?

im in 8th but my elective plan (ROUGH DRAFT ALERT JUST SPECULATION) is 9th: chorus/ap compsci/french 2 honors 10th: french 3 honors/gifted research 11th: ap french/gifted internship 12th: ???/gifted internship

#

i guess ?? i could fit a science elective in senior year

#

i already took my 4th science

#

i dont wanna overload myself since ap bio/chem/phys r hard as shit ive heard

#

in place of my science class (since i already took it) senior year i was gonna do ap psych (relates to my major)

#

i wanna continue w chorus but. yo no tengo space </3

vestal nimbus

#

elective plan

#

since i really wouldnt have space elsewhere would i

vestal nimbus

Oh I see

#

I think your courses are good the way you planned it rn

thank u

#

i wanna do chorus so bad but like. internships and research would be so much more beneficial

And ap psych

College Board recognizes that there are some occasions in which students may be prepared to take an AP Exam prior to ninth grade. Because students are not required to take an AP course before taking the AP Exam, secondary schools may choose to administer AP Exams to students of any grade level, so long as the restriction against use of the AP label on courses and transcripts prior to ninth grade is observed.

For any CS people, should I take CS principles or CS A for my freshman year (high school)? I’ve heard that most good colleges don’t take CS principles as credit, but I haven’t learned Java yet for CS A (I currently take a CS class and may be learning Java in the spring). Anyone got any suggestions?

low igloo
#

wait

#

dont take csA immediately

#

take cs1

#

or pre req for csA

#

is there no pre req?

#

or anything

#

like that

#

i think CSP is mostly theory

#

thats what i heard from one of my friends taking the class

#

so if ur more interested in theory take csp

wooden fox
low igloo
#

if u wanna code then do csA

wooden fox
#

Alr ty

#

Also these are the descriptions for the classes (not sure if they’re helpful or not)

#

Is there any college people in here that know if CS principles gets credit in good colleges compared to CS A?

ionic crane
#

are there any AP’s that are just so terrible it’s not worth taking?

sharp plover
#

i'm in 8th grade and i'm gonna do ap capstone 9th-12th grade and I want to try to get into MIT eventually (trying my hardest)
I think this will be my 9th grade schedule:
English Honors, (Recommended by current teacher)
Integrated Math 2 Enhanced, (Already doing integrated math 1)
Robotics 1, (Hobby/Elective)
AP Computer Science A, (skipping apcsp bc i've already done 2 years of robotics)
AP World History,
and PE (i think PE is required in my school)

#

anything you guys think should be changed?

sharp plover
#

yea they build massive robotics

low igloo
#

wow

#

thats amazing

sharp plover
#

they compete in like FIRST roboitcs or smth like that

#

huh?

sharp plover
#

idk why

low igloo
#

ap seminar

is it like half of the class per year

sharp plover
#

they require 4 ap's

low igloo

#

now im curious

#

lol

#

my schools ap seminar and research classes are both 1 years long

#

there are no classes that are half year

#

what else is part of capstone?

#

the diploma?

low igloo

#

because you said

#

4

#

but in college board its just ap seminar and research

idk my school is just build different

they’ll compare you to school curriculum and other students applying to the school

you could make up for it with strong ecs

I can’t give you a guaranteed answer but maybe it means that there’s still spots left in the course?

#

Also, what is a “university pathway”

signal merlin
vestal nimbus
#
  1. All based on your school policies tbh, I think you definitely need to wait for your guidance counselor to respond for it

#

You wouldn’t be barred from attending college based on the classes you take

vestal nimbus
signal merlin
vestal nimbus
# signal merlin ok ty!

I personally think that APHG is one of the best beginner class to take since it introduces you to how AP works and the testing style

lunar aspen
vestal nimbus
# signal merlin is ap classes better or dual credit?

It really depends, dual credit usually means that most of your state’s public universities should accept them in your state (check the policies)
DC also means that you just have to pass the class to get the college credit

But AP means you have to pass one singular test to get the credit

#

AP is usually much harder than DC too

misty zinc
#

i still rlly dont understand tho

vestal nimbus
#

Are you diploma bound?

misty zinc
#

?

vestal nimbus
vestal nimbus
# misty zinc

I guess open just means it’s a normal (probably on level) class

misty zinc
#

alr

#

Do you think i can like submit it later

vestal nimbus
#

Probably not if it’s due today

misty zinc
#

yea true 😭

vestal nimbus

If there’s any troubles, you can always email your counselor and hope that they can change it for you

If you enjoy psych, you will have a much better career than anything in stem

No?

You could easily do a stem major if you wanted

Well I don't know about the schools in your country/ area

basically if you do good like get a 3-5 on the exam u get college credit for that class and don’t have to take it in college which saves time and money, every college has different test scores that they take for credit you can look this up

(ping if you reply)

solemn hamlet
#

Make sure to manage your time properly everytime you get an assignment/ have a test, and plan such that the load is spread evenly, also try giving yourself more time than you need for maths and stuff where you will end up having more motivation due to having completed them before your set time and then having more free time/ time to work on your ECs (also should ideally have ECs that it feels fun to work on so it doesn't feel like you have no free time)

Does anyone know if I should take AP Chemistry or AP Physics?

solemn hamlet
ancient crown
#

and what previous classes u have taken

wet delta
#

I am taking Chemistry right now as a sophmore.

ancient crown
#

previous classes not previous class 😭

#

math, science, and english

#

mainly

wet delta
#

Algebra 2, chemistry, English 10, engineering

ancient crown
#

what math are u going to be in next year

wet delta
#

Pre calc

ancient crown
#

honestly jumping from a unweighted science and math class to a accelerated math and science class might be dificult so i would go ap chem then go to ap physics when youre in calculus

#

thats just me though

wet delta
#

Thanks

ancient crown
#

but keep in mind ap chem is a very hard class conceptually

#

and is one of the harder ap classes

wet delta
#

Would you recommend doing Honors Pre Calculus from regular Algebra 2.

ancient crown
#

if u take ap physics then yes

#

otherwise doesnt really matter

solemn hamlet
ancient crown
#

dumb ap if u ask me

#

and a lot of schools dont offer it

wet delta
#

My school doesn't offer it

solemn hamlet
ancient crown
#

so does a honors class

solemn hamlet
solemn hamlet
ancient crown
#

yes it does?

#

if u are not in us dont comment on gpa

solemn hamlet
ancient crown
#

in US ap and honors are both weighted at 5.0

#

normal is 4.0

solemn hamlet
#

Idk about ur school district, but colleges definitely weigh APs higher than honors classes

ancient crown
#

yeah colleges weigh them higher but its the same gpa?

solemn hamlet
#

So an AP is still bettet

ancient crown
#

still the same gpa, we werent talking about if colleges think its more impressive to take a ap or not

solemn hamlet
#

I mean just saying

wet delta
#

Would you recommend taking AP US History from regular history classes.

ancient crown
#

intended major?

wet delta
#

Engineering or Computer Science

ancient crown
#

if u want to do engineering id do physics over chem

#

if ur leaning to comp sci doesnt matter which

#

in terms of apush

#

if u have time for it

#

i would take it

#

because if u get a high score you can probably earn some college credit

deft maple
#

Is it good idea to take DE US History. I want to apply to some out of state colleges and I’m afraid they won’t accept the credit so to make sure I get the credit I want to take the CLEP exam during or after that DE class. Is this a good idea or should I just take APUSH?

ancient crown
#

no idea what de is, or what the clep exam is

deft maple
ancient crown
#

dont take de us history

#

save de for math courses or fun electives

deft maple
#

CLEP exams are exams offered by College board for college credit

#

Almost like AP

solemn hamlet
deft maple
#

But little bit less universal, easier, and you have to self study the exam

solemn hamlet
#

Tons of colleges don't even accept ap credits

ancient crown
deft maple
deft maple
#

AP credits are almost universal in the US

ancient crown
#

majority of colleges accept credit

#

some better schools will only takes 5s/4s

deft maple
#

Wait why is it a bad idea to take dual enrollment US history?

ancient crown
#

honestly its not that its a bad idea, i just feel like its better to take US history on your schools curriculum

deft maple
#

Ok

#

Thanks for the help

cerulean peak
#

Should I take 4 aps next year? I have 7 classes total

deft maple
cerulean peak
#

I will take those courses in 10th grade

#

Ap calculus, ap Computer science a, ap biology, and ap us history

deft maple
#

Do you have any prior experience with biology

ancient crown
#

u going to a weird school if kids are taking us history and ap calc as a sophomore i aint gonna lie

sinful wave
#

what schools are you going to

#

our honor classes are on a 4.0 scale

cerulean peak
deft maple
#

But let’s talk about that AP bio first

ancient crown
ancient crown
#

as long as u have time for hw

sinful wave
deft maple
sinful wave
#

#

so his gpa rn is a 5.0

ancient crown
ancient crown
#

so he didnt get beat out by a freshman

sinful wave
#

yes

#

he did

ancient crown
#

he just has a higher gpa

cerulean peak
#

No

sinful wave
#

the freshman is a senior credit wise

#

bro

ancient crown
#

which makes sense because he has been there for less years?

#

not hard to understand

sinful wave
#

bro

deft maple
sinful wave
#

are you slow

#

he can literally graduate

ancient crown
#

ok

#

?

#

doesnt matter

sinful wave
#

omg

deft maple
#

Have you gotten all your necessary high school graduation requirements?

sinful wave
#

yes

#

im to busy doing side quests

#

sigh

deft maple
#

Not you

#

The other guy

sinful wave
#

#

asta

deft maple
#

No the guy talking about the 4 APs

sinful wave
#

its funny cause yunos better

#

oh mr prfssor

deft maple
#

Yeah

sinful wave
#

idk

#

but my schedule for next year looks like that except replace apush with ap phys and ap calculus with calculus through a college

deft maple
#

@cerulean peak have you gotten all high school graduation requirements regarding electives?

cerulean peak
#

I’m a freshman as of now so no

deft maple
cerulean peak
#

7

deft maple
sinful wave
cerulean peak
#

Yes

deft maple
#

Wait 7 per semester???

cerulean peak
#

Yes

deft maple
#

So 14 per year?

sinful wave
#

we can do 8 i think

#

6 usually tho

cerulean peak
#

No sorry I misrepresented that

deft maple
#

Bro my school does 4 per semester

sinful wave
#

wtf

cerulean peak
#

I take 7 classes per year

sinful wave
#

oh

deft maple
#

Ok

sinful wave
#

see

deft maple
#

So you can’t take 4 APs

sinful wave
#

homie

#

he could take 7

deft maple
#

I would push back APUSH for junior year

sinful wave
#

i think he means 7 all year classes

#

apush is for freshman?

cinder gorge
#

Who had taken AP Physics C?

deft maple
sinful wave
#

i havent

sinful wave
deft maple
sinful wave
#

our school does apush freshman, ap world sophmore, ap gov, senior

deft maple
#

I would take APUSH junior year

sinful wave
sinful wave
#

so we get 6 classes per semester

#

12 classes total

deft maple
#

You mean APHG for freshman

sinful wave
#

but most classes are both semesters

sinful wave
#

its not bad

#

i mean he rated it drop out

#

but

#

like

deft maple
#

I’m talking about APUSH

#

Not APHG

sinful wave
#

no

#

i am to

#

ap us history

#

deft maple
#

???

sinful wave
#

#

bro

deft maple
#

What state?

sinful wave
#

michigan?

#

bro

deft maple
#

Oh that’s why

sinful wave
#

whats that supposed to mean

deft maple
#

Schools in the North are always smarter

#

And better

sinful wave
#

el oh el

#

our school average is a 1.6

deft maple
sinful wave
#

which shouldnt even be possible

deft maple
#

What’s the point of AP courses if their gpa is horrendous

sinful wave
#

idk

#

its unpreportional

#

id say a little less than half the school ahs a 4.0 or higher

deft maple
#

Wait what happend to @cerulean peak

sinful wave
#

ik rn minimum for top 10 is a 4.198

#

idk

deft maple
sinful wave
#

nah

#

i fell tho

#

sigh

deft maple
#

It’s alright

sinful wave
#

no

#

its not

deft maple
#

Colleges don’t care about that too much anyways

sinful wave
#

my college transcript is gonna carry anyways

#

since im transferring

#

breh mit isnt as much as a reach since their transfer rates are higher

#

tho its by like 2%

deft maple
#

MIT definitely not gonna focus too much on class rank

sinful wave
#

nvm

#

its less

deft maple
#

They get thousands of valedictorian applicants

sinful wave
#

like 2%

#

breh

#

praying robotics is enough

#

i dont got any international awards

#

i got jokes and music tho

deft maple
#

What instrument?

sinful wave
#

instrument is crazy

#

i dont wanna sound racist

#

but im asian

#

i play 8 instruments

#

deft maple
#

W mans

sinful wave
#

deft maple
#

You make regions or state?

sinful wave
#

if i was w mans this girl wouldnt be saying im too nice for herrrr

#

#

deft maple
#

Orchestra/band/chorus

sinful wave
#

#

#

ahahahaha

#

i could never

#

no hate

#

deft maple
#

You don’t have any awards?

sinful wave
#

our band kids got a bad rep

#

#

#

deft maple

cinder gorge

For music though. Your cooked 💀

sinful wave
sinful wave
cinder gorge
#

Should i take AP physics C?

sinful wave
#

no

#

take ap physics ab

stiff socket
#

i don’t think colleges really look at jh💀

deft maple
sinful wave
#

wait

stiff socket
#

if you’re r

deft maple
cinder gorge
#

Law but i want to also take different advanced classes

sinful wave
#

sorry i saw that as calculus c

#

mb

cinder gorge
deft maple
#

Don’t take AP physics

#

C

cinder gorge
sinful wave
#

tho for that just see if your school will pay fro both the ap calc ab and bc tests

deft maple
#

It’s gonna be useless

sinful wave
#

youll just have to be taking ap calc at the same time

#

hey bro

#

im trying to into law

deft maple
cinder gorge
sinful wave
#

tho my bachelors gonna be in engineering

sinful wave
deft maple
stiff socket
#

if i wanna do law should i do stats or calc

cinder gorge
sinful wave
#

i alr have most my college credits from middle college

cinder gorge
#

I heard comp and lit

sinful wave
stiff socket
#

middle college?

sinful wave
#

ap gov probably helps

cinder gorge
stiff socket
cinder gorge
sinful wave
cinder gorge
#

I heard gov helps since law

deft maple
sinful wave
#

but my high school pays for your college until you get your associates degree

#

that on top of aps

stiff socket
#

bruh what

#

that’s so lucky

deft maple
#

Idk to much about law majors

sinful wave
#

literally all my college classes are transferable to umich or msu

deft maple
#

I could help you more if you were into engineering

cinder gorge
#

Whats the hardest classes yall have taken?

sinful wave
#

and their all prequisites that theyll take

deft maple
#

Took in elementary

cinder gorge
deft maple
stiff socket
#

caseoh💀💀💀

cinder gorge
sinful wave
#

breh

#

apt would look incredible

cinder gorge
sinful wave
#

espescially if you win comps

stiff socket
deft maple
#

@cinder gorge you can get credit for gen Ed requirements too

stiff socket
deft maple
#

I would look into that

sinful wave
#

ap econ could be helpful

#

depending on the law field

deft maple
#

But focus on the credits related to your major first

stiff socket
#

ive heard about teen court too

sinful wave
#

ap comparitive gov too

sinful wave
cinder gorge
#

I saw it

sinful wave
#

basically you take a segment in time

deft maple
#

Also since your not a stem major if your taking an AP math class I would go with AP Stats instead of AP Calc

sinful wave
#

and you debate on it

stiff socket
#

ooo that sounds fun

sinful wave
stiff socket
#

im taking debate so

stiff socket
deft maple
#

I wouldn’t be too worried about getting a math credit though

stiff socket
#

i wanna go to an ivy tho

deft maple
cinder gorge

Mostly AP Lang, lit, and mostly history like us history, psychology too
