#

Ok so at my school all classes are very busy. Next year I am going to be take APUSH, English Honors, AP comp sci, pre calc honors, AP physics and normal spanish. That leaves me with one free period. Should I add ap pysch? My counsler is saying that would be very hard to acheive because of all the time these clasesss consume

#

and none of my teachers recommend me to do this but I have the option. In your opionion what should i do here

U have heavy course load but if u can manage ur time u should be fine

i heard its a lot of memorization and a lot of research papers

that is what i am afraid of

rotund stag
#

It’s not too bad

languid ruin

take that for what you will

#

the research papers dont really matter all that much

Is it better to take a AP classes (with a teacher a lot of people I know says he's bad) and get a B or a CHS (College in the high school classes with a teacher I like) and get an A?

#

hi, guys, I need some help should I pick Spanish for my 8th-grade year?

snow thicket
#

Yes, 100% if your good at the language and if not going into high school Spanish with no prior knowledge can be a difficult transition

#

But at the same time if you want to study on your own that’s an option too

#

Duolingo is a life savor

paper flint
#

I didn't pick Spanish this year so should I start with Spanish 1?

How likely are counselors gonna curve and give you a class like AP Bio which is for 11th graders to Freshman considering I have the nessesary knowledge, recommandation, parent support etc

#

also

#

My teacher told me that 30 weighted class is equal to a year in college so I can finish college early. Is this right?

arctic lantern
#

Just spend time with her before after and in between classes

No need to have classes with her

hi do you guys recommend i take OL ap stat or OL ap chinese for my senior year (im already gonna take ap bio & world) i wanna work in healthcare but not sure which ap i want to take 😭 and i feel like these aps will be hard

cinder gorge
#

APs in general are usually hard

#

i would suggest youu take AP stats

#

its the most useful AP and the most appliable and the most useful for medicine

#

also look into premed progams like medschoolcoach if you wanna be a doctor

#

also people say ap stats is easy idk what the hell theyre on, even though ive never taken it ive heard serveral people complain its extremely difficult at my school

#

that shouldnt demotivate you if those are youre only 2 options but its something to think about and you should come from a strong math background

robust carbon
#

most colleges recommend to have 3-4 (they don't have to be ap)

quick torrent
#

the way my schedule is orgainized, if I take anther school program which offer really hard courses with 2 weighted credits each I cant take any languages 11th and 12 grade

total?

yess

robust carbon

wait then why are you doing chinese?

worldly flume

cause i feel like itll look good on my transcript

you took chinese last year?

💀

#

do not do that lmao

worldly flume
#

whyy 😭😭

robust carbon
#

your gpa will drop

#

and you won't understand anything

#

ap chinese is like chinese 4 im pretty sure

#

you need tons of background knowledge

worldly flume
#

my parents speak mandarin and im learning and know most of the basics is that enough though

robust carbon
#

probably not

#

i would continue spanish, and if that's not possible, then try ap stats?

#

you don't have to take another ap if you don't want to

How is AP Stats as a class acc?

#

I've been thinking about taking it.

robust carbon
#

idk

#

might wanna search it up

worldly flume
robust carbon
#

best way would be to ask the teacher or people that've taken the class

worldly flume
gleaming ridge
#

Cause pre-calc is in between algebra and calc.

worldly flume

The only part of pre-calc I loved was trig.

I lokey wish I took AP Bio but the Bio 1 teacher was horrible and now I'm stuck in Bio 2 since it's been a month.

you can probably do your classes, and maybe have some time for ecs

worldly flume

yuhh 😭

gleaming ridge
#

Damnnn skull_cry

worldly flume
#

i could never

gleaming ridge
#

Ion even like math, the prob is that I can't take APs for science.

#

Cause I've alr started taking Physics 1 this semester too, and for AP at my school, you have to do it full year in your senior year.

And I despise chem because my teacher ruined my Chem 1 marks so 😃

We only have 12 AP classes at my school, not including Apes

gleaming ridge
#

The insane thing is that my counselor told me that someone's taking 7 AP exams this year when we only have 12 AP classes...

worldly flume
gleaming ridge
#

And we only have 8-9 diff classes a year...

worldly flume
gleaming ridge
#

So their whole schedule is bascially AP...

#

Yep

worldly flume
#

or trimesters

gleaming ridge
#

4 in each

worldly flume
gleaming ridge
#

and 1 morning class

#

The problem with Stats is that it's a full year morning class before the regular school day starts.

I just finished it last semester.

First AP exam I'm doing 😭

worldly flume
worldly flume
#

wait same

#

im lowkey so scared

gleaming ridge
#

Me too, we had to do a test in class.

#

And I got like a 70 smth and I freaked out until the teacher said it was unweighted.

#

No one had an A without weighing it, so mine went up like 14% after.

#

An A is 80% here for context.

worldly flume
gleaming ridge
worldly flume
#

would u say its harder or easier to maintain a good gpa with how different the grading scale is

gleaming ridge
#

We don't use the GPA system until university.

#

So the grade requirements prob aren't as high.

worldly flume
gleaming ridge
#

So like an 85% in my province is 89% in other provinces and a 93% in the US.

#

So the highest requirements for undergrad would be like low 90s for nursing.

#

Like AP and DE?

#

mnm_shrug yeah

#

Yea

dull adder
#

ik tufts alumni

#

good school

#

unweighted is 4.0

#

thats universal (kind of)

#

well do they look at both

solemn hamlet
#

Yeah most colleges consider your gpa by weighing courses

#

But also uw

dull adder
#

they usually weight it themselves

solemn hamlet
#

Some colleges might consider grades differently than on a 5.0 scale i suppose tho yea

dull adder
#

you cant take algebra 1 senior year

#

no you cannot

solemn hamlet
#

Depends on your school district doesn't it

#

If they allow you to pass and repeat a course

dull adder
#

depends on state reqs

solemn hamlet
#

Depends on uni

#

?

#

Colleges don't consider middle school

#

They probably consider 9th and 10th grade ib myp courses tho

#

You don't get the choice to submit middle school grades do you?

dull adder
#

fm and sm year are starting ground

solemn hamlet
#

Oh hs creds

#

But yeah no

#

You won't submit that to colleges

dull adder
#

only high school credit go to colleges

solemn hamlet
#

Colleges will see if you do alg 2 in freshman

dull adder
#

its whats on the transcript

solemn hamlet
#

But they won't care about what you did with it in ms

#

Will they be on your hs transcripts??

#

Then yeah

#

If they appear there, they'll be able to see them

dull adder
#

what backwords ass school do you go to

solemn hamlet
#

Like I said

#

depends

#

But you won't be at a disadvantage either way

dull adder
#

even if you take them and it shows up on your transcript its not like theyll look at em or take them into consideration much lol

solemn hamlet
#

Yeah

#

They don't even care about freshman or sophomore grades that much

dull adder
#

yes for high school

solemn hamlet
#

Most T20s have an algorithm that trashes anything below a certain gpa and standardised score yes

dull adder
#

in hs

solemn hamlet
dull adder
#

yes

solemn hamlet
#

That's what they meant

dull adder
#

they look at your hd gpa

#

hs

#

not ms

solemn hamlet
#

Less time for ECs tho?

#

Take as many APs as you can
That'll look good, but you should probably put your priority on ECs unless you want to waste your effort with those

#

Haven't you done hs credit classes alr?

#

Which APs?

#

Don't take like ap bio, ap chem and ap phy 1 altogether 😭

#

But if you take the 'easier' APs, they aren't that difficult

#

You could probably manage another one

dull adder
solemn hamlet
#

CSP is free

dull adder
#

ez

solemn hamlet
#

HuG and ES aren't very difficult courses

#

Yeah

#

Oof 😭

dull adder
#

neither is princ

solemn hamlet
#

CSP is literally a free 5.0

#

Unless your teacher

#

It's not coding

#

CSP is algorithms

dull adder
solemn hamlet
#

You don't even touch a coding language

solemn hamlet
#

💀

#

Why

dull adder
#

💀

solemn hamlet
#

APs don't matter that much but it's not like a threshold

#

Yeah but doing 10 isn't like all you need

#

More is always better

#

Anything you do in ms would evaporate then

dull adder
#

my school didnt offer freshman aps

#

3 sm aps

#

education state my ass

#

bio

solemn hamlet
#

AP precalc is just a honors class but with the ap name tbfh

#

Don't even worry about it as an ap

#

It's not college level

dull adder
#

do you know like what you wanna do

#

what do you enjoy

solemn hamlet
#

Probably wanna figure that out

#

And your ECs
(Me speaking from personal regrets)

dull adder
#

so some science

#

engineering

solemn hamlet
#

What

dull adder
#

heavy science and math then id suggest

solemn hamlet
#

Like a singular passion project

#

I'm working on quite a few projects

dull adder
#

uhh

#

i do some projects from time to time

#

my goal is either polisci or international relations degree

solemn hamlet
dull adder
#

no

solemn hamlet
#

Well i was gonna say the tradition of choosing a major before a career but like I'm dumb but what do you even do with an international relations degree 😭

dull adder
#

no

#

grrr

dull adder
solemn hamlet
dull adder
#

working for the government

solemn hamlet
#

zz

dull adder
#

or private organizations

solemn hamlet
dull adder
#

real

#

yep

solemn hamlet
#

You really want to find out

#

Like your exact career

#

As soon as possible

dull adder
solemn hamlet
#

No eh

dull adder
#

ita important in shaping your courses

solemn hamlet
#

No

#

It'd important in shaping your hs life

dull adder
#

you dont need an exact major though

#

just a general idea

solemn hamlet
#

ECs, college apps, college choices, expectations, everything

solemn hamlet
#

It'll be best if you find out your exact dream career as soon as possible

dull adder
#

no you do not

solemn hamlet
#

Or you're gonna possibly waste your entire undergrad

dull adder
#

plenty of people are fine mostly undecided

solemn hamlet
#

Or be stuck to smth u never wanted

#

Or get a useless degree

dull adder
#

then you should have an exact major by like sm or jr

solemn hamlet
#

Major is never good
Career is
Like a psych major without looking at career is yikes

dull adder
#

i mean i had a major in like seventh so doesnt really apply but

solemn hamlet
#

Yeah

#

But if you want law, that's great

#

Make sure you want law

#

Start looking into law

#

No no

#

Don't push it off

dull adder
#

law is fun and boring

#

van be both

#

scratch that

#

not fun, interesting

solemn hamlet
#

Depends doesn't it

dull adder
#

no point in getting grad degree in law if youre not gonna do anything related to it

solemn hamlet
#

You're getting a useless degree then but yeah you could for most law schools

dull adder
#

yes but unless you want to pursue law as a career its pointless

#

you said you wanted stem career

solemn hamlet
#

AI is overrated

dull adder
#

dont need to

#

architecture a w

solemn hamlet
#

😭

dull adder
#

i mean things change

#

lol

solemn hamlet
#

I wonder how our jobs will look in a decade

#

AI might just be somehow restricted

dull adder
#

georgism moment

#

but uh

solemn hamlet
#

AI automation should be illegal 😭

dull adder
#

if a long term restriction were to happen it would need to be worldwide to be effective

#

like geneva convention for ai

solemn hamlet
#

😡

dull adder
#

otherwise you can't limit it because it limits your nations potential

solemn hamlet
#

My goal is any American universities tbh 😔

#

Third world life out here

dull adder
#

i mean you need people to program ai

solemn hamlet
#

Statistically you don't really

#

Indian cousin?

dull adder
solemn hamlet
#

No it's a causality thing

#

IIT students are good cus the uni is hard to get into

#

Not because they went into IIT

#

Yeah

#

He probably got into a better uni

dull adder
#

where is he going

solemn hamlet
#

That happens?

#

Huh

dull adder
#

bruh

solemn hamlet
#

Another reason I hate India

#

(not racist, the country not people from it)

dull adder
#

xenophobia

solemn hamlet
#

No I love Americans

#

Lmao

#

Opposite of xeno phobia

dull adder
#

you hate india

solemn hamlet
#

Yes

dull adder
#

thats xenophobic buster

solemn hamlet
#

??

#

I'm Indian

solemn hamlet
#

No racism please

dull adder
solemn hamlet
#

Still racist

dull adder
#

shouldve specified

dull adder
solemn hamlet
#

I live in India 😭

#

We don't have gpa

#

We dont get choices

#

Yeah

#

Our transcripts just have a percent

#

They convert it

#

I've got a 4.0 gpa right now if you convert it with the college board method

#

(which a lot of unis use)

#

Yeah

#

We don't have any weighted classes

#

For those who do IB, all of their courses are IB

#

No weightage

#

Colleges do consider IB like you have a good GPA

#

No?

#

AP courses are generally only in the us

#

Exams are

#

Not courses

dull adder
#

uw 4.0 is max

#

uw doesnt take honors ap or ib into account

solemn hamlet
#

Rhetorical

dull adder
#

they look at uw and weigh it themselves

solemn hamlet
#

And international students don't have lower or higher level courses

dull adder
#

they dont care about how your school weighs it

solemn hamlet
dull adder
#

???

solemn hamlet
#

Yes

dull adder
#

that is how they go through admissions

solemn hamlet
#

But international schools don't have weightable courses

#

Look at it this way;

dull adder
#

i wasnt talking about international students bruh

solemn hamlet
#

We were

#

I thought you were too

dull adder
#

just in general for us applicants they look at uw and rigor

solemn hamlet
#

Yeah same

dull adder
solemn hamlet
#

They compare it without considering any number

#

Just the courses you take and their difficulty

#

That's wat i meant

dull adder
#

yep

dull adder
solemn hamlet
#

They do

#

But they don't really care

dull adder
#

they do just not as much

solemn hamlet
#

Say that in uw

#

OwO

#

💀

#

So like Ms senior or hs freshman?

#

8th grade isn't hs 😭

dull adder
#

solemn hamlet
#

Are you even in hs

#

💀

#

Doesn't matter 😭

dull adder
#

they look at hs transcript only

solemn hamlet
#

Tons of students take Geometry in 8th grade 😔

#

dull adder
#

solemn hamlet
#

#

dull adder
#

hate ib system

#

ap on top

solemn hamlet
#

Me whose only choice is to be stuck doing stem subjects with 0 choice

dull adder
#

good

#

aps are fun

solemn hamlet
#

I want APs 😭

dull adder
#

doesnt matter though cause its specific to your school

#

unweighted

#

ib doesnt change unweighted

solemn hamlet
#

Apparently cancer rates are gonna be as high as 77 percent in our life time 😭

dull adder
#

unweighted is purely the percentile

solemn hamlet
#

Bruh

#

Wdym no 😭

dull adder
#

ib changes weighted

solemn hamlet
#

Btw how was this ever course selection

dull adder
#

wide shuttle
#

should I take AP Calc

without taking Pre calc first

unique marten
#

No

#

Is it a dealbreaker to colleges if I only take two years of world language

solemn hamlet
solemn hamlet
#

You could do the pre calc concepts yourself, without taking the course

radiant bone
#

I think you should take ap precal first and then ap calc bc or ab

wide shuttle
#

No?

#

Ok

#

I was thinking I can sort of like

#

self study precal first

#

then ap calc

radiant bone
#

ohhhhh

#

ok

#

If you are really good at ap precal

#

then you can take ap calc ab/bc

#

alr

wide shuttle
solemn hamlet
#

Not taking precalc is one more AP you can load on, but if ur taking AP precalc in junior year or earlier, you might as well tbh

meager fractal
#

My school doesn’t offer honors

#

Only IB and AP

solemn hamlet
#

How would you know about honors precalc anyway

#

I'm just saying it's not that difficult
