[deft maple]

There’s CLEP for communications I think

[deft maple]

But you have to self study CLEP

[cinder gorge]

AP gov, lang, lit, a debate class its like trial sm

[deft maple]

So I would prioritize those APs then CLEP then other APs not on the list for your gen eds

[vernal coral]

Do these subjects sound good for next year? (Year 11)
Planning to study Medicine or Engineering
-Specialist Maths
-English
-Biology
-Chemistry
-Physics
-Visual Arts Design [Still deciding about this, might change to Chinese or something]

[solid comet]

do you have your 4 credits in world language?

[tranquil plume]

The general prerequisites for medicine is a strong foundation in pre-university/pre-college/sixth form chemistry and maths with the addition of biology or physics as supplementary science subjects. But preferably, you'd go for Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology at the bare minimum.

[tranquil plume]

Whilst performing well in the prerequisite subjects is important, you still need to factor in extracurriculars and cocurriculars that show your passion, commitment and dedication to Medicine.

Since you are going to Year 11, now is probably the best time to pursue out-of-school activities.

[tranquil plume]

Overall, I think this list will do you well in terms of coverage for both medicine and engineering.

[cinder gorge]

What are the best classes for law

[sullen hearth]

social studies & ap gov and econ

[cinder gorge]

Very short list micro or macro, gov, US History

What other classes should i choose

[sullen hearth]

then take the ones u gotta take

are you asking me micro or macro?

or is that what ur taking

and later take ap lang it’ll help with your other classes, and your gonna need to know how to argue

[cinder gorge]

Prob not taking since they are my options for senior year only have 1 year for them so prob gov

[sullen hearth]

oh ok

[cinder gorge]

Your right on that doing both of those on my junior and senior year what else?

[sullen hearth]

Mmm

do whatever you want, take more like government and economic classes if your school offers it

and just take the classes you have to

take APUSH, APWorld, APEuro and maybe aphg not sure if that’s necessary

[cinder gorge]

Yeah but helps me to get to get in gov and more

[cinder gorge]

APUSH is important for law im still taking these

[sullen hearth]

ye

[cinder gorge]

Im taking AP Human Geography since it gives me access to plan out my classes

[stiff socket]

would you say debate helps

[sullen hearth]

yea

i forgot about debate

[brittle acorn]

yo is E and M good for people who want to major in CS

[coarse sigil]

Heck yeah

[swift sundial]

Is AP csa hard?

[brittle acorn]

aight

[cinder gorge]

According to my brother, not really

Especially if u did some type of comp sci before

[swift sundial]

I have taken apcsp last semester

[cinder gorge]

Then you’ll be completely fine

There’s people who just jump straight into comp sci A

[vernal coral]

I'm sorry but what are credits?

[vernal coral]

Yeah this was what I was told

Maths, eng, bio and Chem and the requirements

[vernal coral]

Are extracurriculars a huge weighting?

I do have some extracurriculars, but are unrelated to medicine

[vernal coral]

Do you have any suggestions?

[vernal coral]

Thank you

[unborn torrent]

im in 8th grade and want to pursue medicine. since im going to hs, what classes should i take?

[vernal coral]

The minimum usually is
Maths (idk what level in America)
English (compulsory anyway, at least in Aus)
Biology
Chemistry

I think

I'm not sure about ap classes and whatnot because I don't live in America

[unborn torrent]

thank you

[vernal coral]

No problem.

You might also want to do research yourself about the requirements, etc

[stiff socket]

im also in 8th and ive been looking up classes that are required by my dream college

[tranquil plume]

The weightage varies depending on the medschool

[tranquil plume]

You can either start a personal projects or go volunteer in a healthcare setting, eg: a medical scribe role, shadowing doctors in the hospital, volunteering at a hospice or special needs centre, being a caregiver

[tranquil plume]

Thats fine too

They also want to see that you are an all-rounder and that you are capable of having a life outside of medicine

It shows them you are capable of taking care of yourself while handling the course

[forest spoke]

I took academic history this year. It’s a little too easy for me. Do you think it would be okay to go up to AP Push ? I took pre-ap history in 9th grade got a A-?

[real marsh]

Yea just lock in

[open crown]

Going to HS in August, I want to go into law and am not completely sure what classes to take
We have people coming to help us choose but I want to be prepared before then

[lone lion]

research urself

[glad vapor]

So I'm trying to study computer science
Im a junior and will be going into senior year
I've taken this year an intermediate video class, chamber choir, AP ab calc, apes, apush, Spanish 2x and ofc English

As of this year

I want this as a sample class schedule and I'm still deciding

Is this a good schedule
English
Advanced Video class cause it's a 3 year academy
Bc calc AP
Computer science AP
Physics ap
A banking internship my school has
Gov/eco

I've been told to take Spanish AP but I don't think it's quite necessary to take for a comp sci major

Any opinions on the matter?

[solemn hamlet]

Yeah, with AP Physics and Calc BC, might be better to not take AP spanish

[glad vapor]

Btw I'm a high school student

[solemn hamlet]

Who else take AP classes

[glad vapor]

Fair point sorry

Anyways I have another question

Do you think it's a good decision to quit my choir

This is my third year

[solemn hamlet]

Do you enjoy it?

[glad vapor]

Yeah but not really the people

Well sometimes they're so so

I do like singing and it's honestly helped me get a place as a lead for my schools musical so I do enjoy it but for my education I don't know if I should take it next year

[solemn hamlet]

i cant really give you proper advice if i know so little, but id just say dont quit it if you're thinking there will be a lot of course load and you actually like it, but if you don't, then you probably should

[cinder gorge]

has anyone taken gr.10 transport tech? if so how was it and has it helped

[bleak gyro]

it honestly depends. if you feel like it’s not worth staying a member of the choir because of the relationship you have with the other members, then quit. if you feel like you can overcome it for something that you love, then stay. sometimes it’s worth quitting, but other times it’s not. go with what your gut tells you.

[glad vapor]

See the thing is it's a win win cause it's something I enjoy and the other is being able to probably help me pursue better education blah blah

So it honestly really needs thinking

But thanks you two fr

[static grotto]

In the future i want to get a certificate Certificate II (Business Administration) but i don't know were to start

[solemn hamlet]

What's that?

[static grotto]

So were i live Australia that's pretty much a Busniess Degree

[solemn hamlet]

Welp from my experience, there aren't that many Australians here, might be better for you to research on yoru own and ask any more general questions here

[static grotto]

Alright one thing what subjects would help me develop my Business Degree ?

[rotund stag]

Statistics?

[coarse sigil]

Anyone take Ap chem yet

[unborn torrent]

do you think it’s a good idea for me to take gt biology in my freshman year and later in high school to take ap biology?

[polar plaza]

if that's standard for people taking ap bio in your school, then yeah

[bleak gyro]

yes!

[coarse sigil]

Easy or bad

[bleak gyro]

i’d say it’s somewhat challenging, but it depends on your skill set and capabilities. i suggest you try it out on your own.

it’s pretty fun though

[vernal coral]

Alright thanks @tranquil plume

[toxic bobcat]

dont take ap spanish unless ur a native speaker

[bleak gyro]

i took the AP italian test as a non native speaker and passed 💀

[toxic bobcat]

ig if you're really interested in the language u could but i just dont see the point

[bleak gyro]

i mean yeah if it doesn’t align with your major imo

[toxic bobcat]

im just taking 4 years of normal spanish bc of college requirement

i dont really like it tho

[merry thicket]

im in grade 10 right now and I want to go to waterloo uni for aviation but there are two aviation courses science aviation and geo aviation which one should I take I want to be a pilot and what are useful courses?

[cursive skiff]

Science aviation, you don’t need geo since you will be taught that as well, but taking science aviation will be a good prep

[merry thicket]

thank you

[cursive skiff]

Ye np

[warm cargo]

im in my junior year of high school and im not completely sure about what i want to do in college

[sullen hearth]

yea bio is easy

[bleak gyro]

hi! you can try looking into your passions a bit more or take career quizzes. bigfuture (collegeboard’s sub company) has lots of resources that’ll help you find what you want in a major.

[sullen hearth]

do whatever u like

[robust carbon]

physics probably

[bleak gyro]

it’s tricky to do what you want in this economy imo

[sullen hearth]

yea

inflation getting crazy

[bleak gyro]

im super lucky to like a high paying career

[merry thicket]

wb chem and bio?

[sullen hearth]

nice

[bleak gyro]

i like the arts but i love engineering a lot more

[sullen hearth]

what is ur career?

[robust carbon]

those are still good, but it would probably be better to take physics

[sullen hearth]

oh

[robust carbon]

i would take most of physics, and then some chem or bio (depending on which one you want)

[sullen hearth]

i don’t know what i want to do either, though i do want to go into medicine, or something with space.

[bleak gyro]

im also interested in international relations, but that would probably be a minor/concentration

[sullen hearth]

that’s cool

[sullen hearth]

I think take physics C

that’d help a lot

i think specifically mechanics

[warm cargo]

i dont have much that i like

thats my problem

[robust carbon]

^

[sullen hearth]

do you have any subject that you enjoy

or are u passionate about anything

[stray roost]

Hii new here 🤗

[robust carbon]

you gotta put factors in too, like salary, work experience needed (education), workly hours, etc.

[robust carbon]

wassup

[stray roost]

@robust carbon studying for tomorrow's exam you say?

[warm cargo]

i like photography, and although im not currently DOING them, im interested in art and music

[robust carbon]

no?

got nothing tmmrw (thank god)

[merry thicket]

so rn I have physics freench geo english and im taking religion in summer what else should I take idk what math tp talke

[stray roost]

@robust carbon what?

[robust carbon]

im not studying for any exam tmmrw

[stray roost]

Ooh good for you

[robust carbon]

your in 10th grade?

[robust carbon]

ikr

[robust carbon]

i mean, you would probably want to take the most advanced math you can take

[sullen hearth]

You could pursuer a fine art like, photography and music

[stray roost]

I'm in 12th grade studying physics

Rn

[robust carbon]

i was asking @merry thicket , but thats cool too

[warm cargo]

OH i also wouldnt mind videography, like recording stuff

[robust carbon]

hmm

[cursive skiff]

Become a cameraman

[stray roost]

I know u were asking to @merry thicket

[robust carbon]

k

[robust carbon]

movie director (producer), cinematic/brand photographer

?

[warm cargo]

that doesnt sound bad

[robust carbon]

you would probably want to research more; just don't feel hurried, as this is probably gonna be the most important decision you make lmao

(no pressure)

[merry thicket]

yes

[warm cargo]

i pulled this up

[robust carbon]

theirs probably a ton more tho

it depends on what you want

[coarse sigil]

if u dont mind me askin

what you get on the ap exam

[robust carbon]

ap chem

[coarse sigil]

takin it sophmore year

[robust carbon]

hehe boi

precalc with ap chem

(i assume)

[glad vapor]

got it thanks bro

[warm cargo]

i know im just checking out the popular options

i want something that i can enjoy and that can get me somewhere financially.

[robust carbon]

👍

[obsidian trench]

AP physics as a sophomore?

[coarse sigil]

[robust carbon]

[coarse sigil]

bro knows my schedule

[robust carbon]

any other ap classes you have

you could probably handle it tho, it's just a rigorous subject with a lot of things to do

[coarse sigil]

hes going to die

[robust carbon]

bluds taking precalc with ap chem

[coarse sigil]

and ap euro

[robust carbon]

teehee

[coarse sigil]

thats free

[robust carbon]

[obsidian trench]

I’m probably taking AP HUG

[robust carbon]

with ap physics?

that might be doable

hug is very

unrigorous?

[obsidian trench]

I mean I’m in World right now and its hella easy

[robust carbon]

dang nice

[obsidian trench]

I’ve heard HUG is a lot of memorization

[coarse sigil]

ap world?

[obsidian trench]

Yeah

[cinder gorge]

Gohar can you help me

[robust carbon]

who is ghost

💀

[verbal jackal]

whats the difference between computer science and computer engineering

[robust carbon]

gohar normally doesn't help people

i can try tho?

[granite berry]

Course ideas for someone pursuing fashion

Fashion designer fashion merchandiser and fashion buyer

Like which classes should I take

[rotund stag]

Cs is coding ce is making computers????

[wet delta]

Does anyoune recommend taking AP US History as a junior without taking any previous AP classes?

[solemn hamlet]

well, i wouldnt personally recommend that as your first AP, but if you like history, then you can probably manage

[polar plaza]

can prolly be fine if youre a good student

i loaded on 4 aps junior year without any prior ap experience

apush wasnt that bad

[wet delta]

Would you recommend taking AP Computer Science Principles without much programming experience before?

[solemn hamlet]

AP CSP Isnt even a programming class

its basically a free 5.0 unless ur teacher is idek

[wet delta]

Thanks for the advice

[golden grotto]

im planning to take the following aps the next 3 years (i cant take any as a freshman)

10th:
AP CSP

11th:
AP bio
AP calc BC
AP lang
maybe APUSH..?

12th:
AP chem
AP stats
AP psych
AP lit
AP art history or AP european history..?

im most likely going to be a premed in college and i was wondering if the classes i listed above were gud enough for colleges but also easy to manage and get an A in

[solemn hamlet]

bio and calc bc and chem and psych at the same time might get a bit difficult, but yeah its manageable

[lone lion]

why do u need ap euro for pre med-

[solemn hamlet]

u dont need any of those for pre med

u could take 0 APs and do premed

[lone lion]

major correlation wise it doesnt make sense

also ik u dont need any of those for pre med lmao

[solemn hamlet]

AP CSP also doesnt correlate to pre med

[lone lion]

hes better off taking a Dual enrollment course

that correlates with pre med which seems better

[solemn hamlet]

eh

you dont need to like only your major

maybe they do want to take AP euro just to take it

plus isnt de inconvinient

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/854207201160724500.webp?size=64

[lone lion]

no

[solemn hamlet]

dont u have to take courses at a uni

[lone lion]

community

[solemn hamlet]

yeah

so you need to go there

[lone lion]

no

online

[solemn hamlet]

oh like online DE

then ofc yeah

[lost prairie]

how big is the workload for honors chem and honors precalc

[lone lion]

depends on teacher

school

overall its rigorous

[lost prairie]

how much harder is honors precalc than alg 2

[lone lion]

well keep in mind

wait

reg alg 2?

[lost prairie]

ya my school only offers regular

and accelerated which is alg 2 and precalc in 1 year

[lone lion]

well honors is a weighted course which is therefore much harder

reg is like a reg class so theres a great deal of difficulty

pre calc introduces u to concepts that are used in calc

so id say yes a big jump

then again depends on the teacher and school

[lost prairie]

ok ty!!!

[lone lion]

[fiery bane]

I need help

for course selection

please someone

[solemn hamlet]

https://dontasktoask.com

[fiery bane]

sorry you are right i just didn't want to type out a whole paragraph if nobody was online and i was planning on sending a dm

[solemn hamlet]

you wouldve been helped by now

[vernal coral]

If you just ask the question, you will generally recieve a quicker reply than asking 'i need help' on a channel (and server) that's meant for helping people

[digital cargo]

Hi all! I have had a weird math edu, and I have a few questions.

In 6th, I took alg 1
In 7th, I took geo
In 8th, I went to a rly weird school so in effect (long story)I didn’t take any math courses
During 8th, starting at about now, I have stated talking a one on one class for alg 2 through a program near me

At this point, I worry I have forgotten so much on alg 1 and geo. My question is: should I shit focus to filling in gaps and take alg 2 freshman year, or should I continue with alg 2 and use outside resources to fill gaps so I can take pre calf freshman year?

[unborn vault]

Do that

[solemn hamlet]

Use outside resources

Taking calculus early frees up your schedule later

[digital cargo]

Got it

Is khan academy trusted?

[solemn hamlet]

Yeah

[digital cargo]

Great!

[fiery bane]

oh okay yeah

so basically I am a sophomore and I am currently taking normal pre-calc, ap csa, chem, spanish 2, world lit, and world history (core classes not a combine studies class) and so I am choosin gmy classes and this is what I was thinking

ap bio, ap calc ab, film and design, intro to engineering and design, apush, and (honors) american lit

ap calc ab and ap bio i know are ap's but are the only option i have. all the junior year sciences are ap and the only math i can take is ap calc ab or bc and im taking ab

and since im taking ab i was going to take "hamlit" and apush, but hamlit has a REALLY hard teacher and she is REALLY mean, and she is the only teacher so do you guys think it a wise choice

i am also going to take spanish 3 at my community college becaeu I fulfilled my two highschool requirment for it and now I just need the college credit for the uc requirements

I wanted to take AP csp, but they won't let me beaceu I already to ap csa this year which is why I am taking intro to engineering

but instead of that I could ask to ta for my cs teacher

[coarse sigil]

is it recommendable to take physics honors before ap physics

[fiery bane]

Depends on the school like ours recommends taking chem honors before ap chem but many people take it either way

So you could probably be fine if you study over the summer

[gloomy cipher]

Do I take ap world or adv world

[quasi nexus]

take ap

[bleak gyro]

im currently taking it lmao

[coarse sigil]

are you dying

[bleak gyro]

not really 💀

it’s challenging but I like that it is

[coarse sigil]

ruh roh

and you're taking it senior year?

extra ruh roh

[bleak gyro]

😭

it is what it is

im taking 5 AP classes so it’s not like it’s gonna hurt me more 💀

[gloomy cipher]

is 4 ap as sophmore bad + 1 adv + 2 classes inbetween adv and ap (weird school) + 1 dual credit

[robust carbon]

i mean

it depends on you

and the difficulty of the aps

[dusk vortex]

the limit for my school is 3 aps for sophmores so I would say thats pretty good

[gloomy cipher]

no like will i die under work

[dusk vortex]

oh k

[fallen marsh]

hello

#course-selection

Bro Im tryna graduate early like at tenth grade, but I don't know what to take. I'm gonna go to the eighth grade, so I want to know what classes to take early on before high school, can anyone help me?

[robust carbon]

what

you tryna graduate at tenth grade from high?

[fallen marsh]

ye

I heard it was possible

[robust carbon]

i thought that was only in the old days

idk, it might be allowed in your school

you would probably want to take the most advanced subjects you can

[fallen marsh]

my school allows, spanish in MS so yea, im taking that

[robust carbon]

nice

[fallen marsh]

I'm only in honors english and science

[robust carbon]

oof

if i may ask, why do you wanna graduate in 10th

and would you be planning to get a degree after that too?

[fallen marsh]

I'm trying to enter the workforce earlier, and skip a bunch of the things that i won't nessciarly need

[robust carbon]

you know what job you're going into

[fallen marsh]

yes, well no

[robust carbon]

"field/area"?

[cinder gorge]

i want to be an enginner when i grow up and work hands on know any good jobs for that?

[fallen marsh]

I'm thinking a sherrif deputy, U.S Marshal, or an FBI special agent

[robust carbon]

you should probably research those, and im pretty sure those need a good degree also

criminal justice or something

[fallen marsh]

thats what i Was thinking

[robust carbon]

hmm

[robust carbon]

you want us to help you find a job 🗿 ?

[fallen marsh]

no

[cinder gorge]

not a job

um what course can help me with that

sorry i misunderstood this!

[robust carbon]

uh

[fallen marsh]

I asked what courses to take in Highschool

[robust carbon]

nah ur good

[fallen marsh]

ohhhh mb

[cinder gorge]

or any good enginnering colleges

[robust carbon]

we talking general engineering or specifically, like civil, aeronautical?

[cinder gorge]

Hi

[solemn hamlet]

You could self study AP classes and use those to fulfill your HS's requirements, but that doesn't work everywhere

[fallen marsh]

hi

[robust carbon]

i need backup luke

[solemn hamlet]

Or CLEP and DE

[cinder gorge]

So I’m in 6th grade so

[fallen marsh]

oh, I mean my school do have those

[solemn hamlet]

Like DE?

[solemn hamlet]

No I mean do them yourself

[robust carbon]

you would have to find out those, depending on your factors like price and distance

[cinder gorge]

whats that short for?

[fallen marsh]

wait, I can do them myself?

[solemn hamlet]

What diploma requirements does your school have
Yes you can

[solemn hamlet]

Dual enrollment in a uni during hs

[cinder gorge]

hm

[robust carbon]

college certified teacher teaches you

i think

[fallen marsh]

3 years of spanish, 2 fine arts, and everything else, i forgot, but I fit with the grad requirements

except the 2 years of fine arts

and I have two years of spanish left

[solemn hamlet]

Everything else? Like 4 years of maths, science and English?

[fallen marsh]

Yup

[solemn hamlet]

So you've done precalc and stuff?

[fallen marsh]

not yet

[robust carbon]

[fallen marsh]

I haven't gone into those yet

[solemn hamlet]

So wdym you've completed 4 years of hs maths

[robust carbon]

hs and ms maths are wayy different

[solemn hamlet]

That means 4 years of hs maths, not middle school maths

[fallen marsh]

No, Im in MS So im saying When I do grad i'll be fine, since i will have already of done those

ohh

[solemn hamlet]

[robust carbon]

but you can't since if you graduate in 10th, you won't have 4 years

[fallen marsh]

what

[robust carbon]

if only it was that simple

[fallen marsh]

im going into 8th, so rn im in 7th

[solemn hamlet]

Depending on your school, you could load up on DE, AP or CLEP to make the school take those as years of maths, but that depends on your school, most don't let you grad early even with those

[fallen marsh]

7, 8, 9, 10, thats 4 years no?

[solemn hamlet]

7 and 8 are hs?

[robust carbon]

only high school math

[cinder gorge]

Hey guys I’m in 6th grade and I picked for 7th grade Spanish for high school credits and I have been trying to learn on duolingo and I picked intermediate band because this year I was in beginner band and pre-algebra math because this year I was in advanced mathematics. So what do you think

[solemn hamlet]

I can't even ask why you don't know how to count cus ur still in ms

[fallen marsh]

Idk, but my school lets us grad early if we want, we just the counslers we want to skip

[solemn hamlet]

So your middle school

[robust carbon]

[fallen marsh]

we ask the counslers

[solemn hamlet]

Allows you to do that

[fallen marsh]

yes

well

[cinder gorge]

Yes

[fallen marsh]

Im in a school for Ms And Hs combined

[cinder gorge]

I’m in middle school

[solemn hamlet]

Ohhhh

[cinder gorge]

Oh

[solemn hamlet]

So what courses are you doing

[cinder gorge]

Me or??

[solemn hamlet]

What do you want us to think

[fallen marsh]

for Ms, right now, spanish 1, math, english honors, science honors, p.e, world history,and Cadet core

[cinder gorge]

Idk

[cinder gorge]

Cool

[solemn hamlet]

So none of those are hs courses

[fallen marsh]

I thought spanish was?

[solemn hamlet]

Everyone takes spanish 1 in ms

[fallen marsh]

really?

[cinder gorge]

I have to pick

[solemn hamlet]

Pretty much

[fallen marsh]

ohh

well thats what i take

[solemn hamlet]

So how will you grad early

If your school allows you to, ask them

[fallen marsh]

I have to talk it through with my counslers

[solemn hamlet]

We don't know about your school 😭

[solemn hamlet]

Then do

??

That's the name?

[fallen marsh]

yup

[solemn hamlet]

Why would you even

[fallen marsh]

my mom

[solemn hamlet]

Please lil bro don't talk about your school's name here

[fallen marsh]

oh mb

[solemn hamlet]

Your mom 😭

Ok please

Find out about this from your mom then

[cinder gorge]

[solemn hamlet]

I thought she worked there or smth

What were u gonna mention 😭

Well anyway

Go to your counselor then

[fallen marsh]

aight

see yall later

[lost prairie]

should i take ap stats and honors precalc at the same time as a sophomore or wait to take ap stats

[robust carbon]

i would wait, but if all your other classes are doable in sophomore, then it might work

[stone hemlock]

Hai so I’m not able to do AP or dual for this semester but would honors still be considered as good

And if so how many would be I guess impressive

[stiff socket]

are your honors a 5.0?

[stone hemlock]

Nah 4.5

[stiff socket]

ok well that’s still good

[stone hemlock]

But they’re the most advanced I can take till summer

[stiff socket]

and yea that’s impressive

[stone hemlock]

Oki yey

[stiff socket]

i mean I would take wtv i could

[stone hemlock]

How many would be good though for a top 20

Like I’m taking classes either way but might as well take honors

[stiff socket]

idk tbh

[stiff socket]

mhm

[stone hemlock]

It’s all good

[polar plaza]

all

top 20, you need all honors at a minimum

[stone hemlock]

My current place offers like 20ish and I already finished 6 so far

[stone hemlock]

Wait but if it’s extracurriculars I can do normal right

Mines doesn’t have honors extracurr

Like art/theater

[polar plaza]

if your school doesnt offer that many rigorous classes, it's even more important to max out course rigor

[solemn hamlet]

me chan

[stone hemlock]

Will do

[stone hemlock]

Haii

[polar plaza]

if it's electives it's less important that it's honors

[stone hemlock]

Also thank u ry and chai and everyone 🙏

[solemn hamlet]

ok well the others already said everything

[stone hemlock]

Ah ok gotcha

Cause I want to take guitar but don’t wanna 🦇

[solemn hamlet]

but moar importantly, honors definetely cant be compared to APs even if they're similar in your school's weighing when it comes to how college sees it

[short burrow]

is it normal for honors classes to not be weighted at all

[polar plaza]

cuz you need to prove to the admission officers that you can handle a heavy courseload and your ambition, which is tough at schools where there arent many aps and stuff

so maxxing out honors and what few aps are available is very important
