its actually crazy

solemn hamlet
#

but they do nothing with it

#

just make it

#

no campaigining, no products, no actual community service

#

or at most like cleaning up a beach with their friends

dapper valve
#

does ur passion project necessarily need to benefit others

#

Off topic but do colleges care if u get a congressional award

dapper valve
#

whats that

frigid dust
#

It’s like an award given by a congress member or smt

dapper valve
#

oh yeah thats significant

#

only award thats given out by congress

#

dont expect it to carry ur profile tho

frigid dust
#

Ok

dapper valve
#

essay is arguably the most important part

#

a lot of ppl do all these ecs and have good grades but have no personality

i am a current 10th grader. My current unweighted gpa is a 4.0 and weighted gpa is 4.06. I would appreciate some feedback on my course selection for 11th grade(is it challenging enough for a top 100 school, are any of the classes really challenging etc.)

AP BIO

AP COMP SCI A

Even T20s I'd say, just in terms of coursework, but you need great ECs too

#

is AP Chem and IB Chem SL rly similar

#

content wise

#

and AP Physics and IB Physics HL

solemn hamlet
#

It's a higher level of course offered in the us

#

If I get a score of 3-5 on the ap lang exam is it worth taking ap lit

#

If I get a 3-5 on both lit and lang do colleges only look at one or both

#

Should I also take ap env if I get a 3-5 on ap bio

#

If I get a 3-5 on ap env and ap bio do colleges look at one or both

#

AP euro im def taking cuz i got a 2 and 1 on ap world and ap human

#

And I’m doing apush rn so if I get a low score which is likely then ap euro is probably a good thing to take

lone lion
#

Apush is even harder than euro

willow mesa
#

Well I’m doing apush rn since they didn’t give a choice for euro in my selection for 11th grade

For a school like UCSD engineering or computer science, would these Senior classes be good?

AP Calculus BC

AP Government

AP Computer Science A

AP Literature (not taking exam)

Principles of Engineering Honors

My school just allows you to take any AP class without the exam, I honestly thought that applied to all high schools

Where do you live

oh that’s probably why I’m in Tennessee

I still think that's a bit weird though
Unless your school has a strict policy that says so, you shouldn't get penalized for taking an AP Class without the test

#

Idk it might have something to do with college board I’m not sure why it’s rqyirwd

#

Either that or the school itself requires it

#

should I do calc ab then bc or precal then bc?

gloomy lotus
#

BC is only a few units ahead of AB

cursive panther
#

i want to take bc no matter what, but would ab prep me better or would precal prep me better

#

cause at my school, taking bc gives you like a math completion with honors award and it would be kinda nice to get it

lone lion

well yeah how else can u get a 5.0+

pseudo raptor

#

different weighted systems

pseudo raptor
#

ok

lone lion

Hi, I am a high school student in Georgia and looking to apply to the University of Georgia or Georgia Institute at Technology. I wanted to take dual enrollment courses over the summer and emailed my counselor with 5 courses I wanted to take.

My counselor said she will add them but advised me against doing it because colleges will look at it and assume I am playing a GPA game. Additionally she said that colleges are a business at the end of the day and if they see that I already have course credits then they will see I will finish college early and not spend as much money at their college and UGA and GT will reject me for taking all those courses.

I wanted to get advice on this and whether I should be taking 5 DE courses as additional courses over the summer. I took 4 last year.

Feel free to ping me to reply

lone meadow
#

my school doesn't let me take aps in freshman year

magic orbit
#

can you separate them on what grade ur taking what aps?

lone meadow
#

yea sure

#

10th- ap pre calc bc, ap cs a, ap world, ap seminar

11th- ap calc bc, apush, ap econ, ap bio

12th- ap gov, ap stats, english dual enrollment, cs dual enrollment, physics dual enrollment

#

also i was wondering what else aps or what i should switch to be better for a cs major

Along with Spanish 2 and Geometry

Also another question for biology in 8th grade

My counselor told me that I would need to drop an elective to take biology since high school runs on A and B days and I would need to provide my own transport to and from the high school. He also said I could test out of Biology at the end of 8th grade which I do not want to do and he said he would look into the online Bio option in the high school but hes never seen it.

What should I do? Is it worth it?

I’m doing running start (Bellevue college) and I’ll be a senior next year, what courses should I take at my high school? I’m thinking of majoring in business or math or cs. I was debating whether to take AP statistics at high school and/or concert choir (I’ve taken this since sophomore year and I kinda enjoy it)? I can take up to 3 courses per quarter at Bellevue college as well.

# timid field I’m doing running start (Bellevue college) and I’ll be a senior next year, what ...

It depends on what job you want. There are jobs that require a bachelors of those specific degrees. statistics can take you into data analysis(statistics for business) and scientific studies in different types of fields(Geology such as Geotechnical or Biology, biochemistry, any science related jobs). Cs (computer science) can get you into business(if you want to be a ceo) and data analytics, programming, A.I etc.) There is a course here in the country I’m in that combines Data Science and Computer science so there are a lot of Computer scientists that is also a Data Scientist/Analytics.

Would it be better for me to take College Precalculus at my local four-year or AP Precalculus (rising Junior)

Should I take AP Physics C or OnRamps Physics (which is basically dual credit from Univesity of Texas at Austin) if I am trying to major in Comp sci. both classes are weighted the same.

#

Also does anyone know anything I can do over the summer related to computer science that will help me get into an ivy league school?

Is it also okay if I took Comp sci 1 my freshmen year, didn’t take any comp sci classes my sophomore year, and then take comp sci 2 my junior year and comp sci 3 my senior year. do you think ivy league colleges would still accept that?

lone lion
wraith scarab
#

should i go from taking all regular classes this year to taking all honors/AP if the regular classes are too easy? I do not want to be overwhelmed with too much word but also want to be challenged

Honors

# tawny rapids Honors

Honors are advanced high school courses that cover the same material as regular classes, but at a faster pace and with more depth. Honors classes can help students develop critical thinking skills, a strong work ethic, and effective study habits. Some high schools also offer additional weighting for honors classes, which can boost a student's GPA.

#

They help you increase your gpa and colleges like Stanford love you are challenging with harder courses

#

they are same as regular class in terms of content, but you have to put more effort

#

guys which college is better for computer science /computer engineering Asu or Uic because i’m gotten offers from both of them

tawny rapids

But what if I chose my classes already

I am planning to major in computer science/AI and want to go to an ivy league university or Stanford/MIT. Should I take an artificial intelligence/comp sci course from Stanford or Harvard? Which one would look better on my college application?

dull adder

neither will look better than the other

blissful ingot
#

Class of 2028 and it is time to choose my first ever high school electives what should I choose?

wraith scarab
#

i dont recommend taking electives only because your friends are taking them

#

you probably take electives based on what you might want to be after high school

#

Personally, I would say to do it for the Tech credit, but it won’t help much in a CS Major

#

Classes like CS A are a lot better for this

lone meadow
#

bro for my school it counts as an elective credit 💀

#

but yea that's why i thought tbh, there's another cs class i can take instead which will prob be a lot more useful

teal geyser

Idk what ib econ is

ik what IB is

I'm an incoming sophomore this September and I have the option to take a few APs (though sophomores in my school can only take 2). I have a choice of AP World History and AP Comp Sci Principles (my district has a 2-year cycle of ap comp sci that switches between Comp Sci A which is really advanced and principles which isn't so I got unlucky I guess.) I also have the chance to take both. What should I do?

coral crane
#

Take both

cinder gorge

I scheduled an appointment with my guidance counselor for choosing my classes for senior year. Here are my choices
English: English 12, English 12 Honors, AP Eng Lang, AP Eng Lit
Science: Chemistry, Chemistry Honors, Physics
Math: AP Calc BC, AP Statistics, AP Comp Sci Principals
S.S: AP Government, Government and Economics, Government and Economics Honors
Language: AP Spanish Lang, AP Spanish Lit, AP Chinese
P.E: set, possibly with a semester of Health
S.L.C: Architecture
I want to major in mathematics/applied mathematics, my school allows 3 APs max/ 4 with permission from the principal. My school offers dual enrollment course (College now) that I can possibly sub for architecture. I am currently taking Spanish III as a junior.

calc bc

#

maybe ap spanish lang or ap eng lang because colleges may have a general education requirement

#

depends where you want to go to

#

take the classes that would earn you credit for your desired major

old rain
#

AP Lang vs Lit based on difficulty, usefulness and weight

#

at my school there is no requirement to take one before the other

lone lion
#

theres a difference between them in terms of what u analyze

#

if u favor poetry and that stuff take LIt

#

overall LIT is still harder

weak token
wraith scarab
#

take lang

lone lion
#

lang is more useful

#

LIT shows more rigor

weak token
lone lion
#

and a higher level of english

weak token
lone lion
#

eh still very good

#

ivy league track is u take lang and lit lol

wraith scarab
#

oh

#

im good at reading i dont have the motivation to read more than a couple of pages

lone lion
#

lmao i aint either dw

wraith scarab
#

i lose track and get lost in the pages

#

i got around 85% percentile on psat reading

#

but theyre short stories as ap lit is full books which i am not good at

old rain
old rain
lone lion
#

sure if u have enough background

#

otherwise take lang first

#

idk why u would skip to lit

old rain
#

Bc I didn’t take lang this year

#

And I only have one more year left

lone lion
#

just take lang

#

unless ur strong at english

How do i categorize colleges between target reach and safety? Also what’s the best way to look for colleges

solemn hamlet
violet dagger
violet dagger
#

sorry @sour zenith i was wrong

solemn hamlet
#

Unless you have a 2.0 GPA and no extracurriculars you'll have more safeties than a CC

#

Targets are stuff that's easy to get into, depending on your stats, and that you would wanna go to

#

And reaches are T20s

violet dagger
#

oh ok

#

thanks

azure palm
#

safety=probably will get in usually a state school
target=would be content going to and you think you have a good chance at getting in
reach=college you could potentially land with enough luck but don't expect getting in

sour zenith
#

Alright, thanks for the help everyone

sullen hearth
#

will colleges take credit for ap seminar test

cursive panther
#

safety- <75% in GPA & SAT/ACT

#

target/match- ~50% in GPA & SAT/ACT

#

reach- >25% in GPA & SAT/ACT

#

I also meant percentile not “%”

harsh hedge
#

did someone reply to me last time

harsh hedge
vestal crypt
#

percent is a score like 93%

#

percentile is how many people you scored better than

harsh hedge
#

oh

vestal crypt
#

so maybe with that score you are in the 93rd percentile

#

i used the same number but it usually isnt

#

like you maybe score a 50% and are in the 20th percentile

wraith scarab
#

should i go from all regular classes to all ap/honors next year if i have a 4.0 unweighted this semester

cinder gorge
#

The harder the courses the better

#

I think Ivies and stuff prefer slightly worse grades but harder courses vs easier courses and better grades

#

harder courses demonstrate your ability to handle challenges

wraith scarab
#

not taking any electives so that might be easier

cinder gorge
inner dew
#

is taking pre-calc over the summer to take AP Calc in sophomore year a good idea?

#

will colleges care?

cinder gorge
#

Even if you can, I'd still recommend you do like a year of calc in scohol

#

maybe not pre calc, but some calculus foundation would be better than jumping into, say, ap calc bc

inner dew
#

wait, im definitely not skipping calc over summer

cinder gorge
#

like if you can cover pre calc during summer, then go into calculus

#

taking ap calculus would definitely be easier in jr year

inner dew
#

i definitely have the option of taking pre-calc over the summer

cinder gorge
inner dew
#

I have no idea if I can 😭

cinder gorge
#

do you have bad consequences if you fail?

inner dew
#

fail pre-calc?

#

if I do bad in pre-calc I can just drop the class as if I never took it

cinder gorge
#

oh ok

#

then do it

#

nothing bad can come out of it

inner dew
# cinder gorge nothing bad can come out of it

actually, my bigger worry is jumping to AP Calc. My Alg2 (who is also an AP Calc) teacher said that "6 weeks is not enough to cover all of pre-calc, which is important for AP Calc." Is this true? I dont have any clue of how hard AP Calc is

cinder gorge
#

That way you will have a better foundation for when you do take AP calc

inner dew
#

oh wait, you were suggesting I do normal calc before AP

#

but is it not the same thing but less intense?

weak token
#

not normal calc but rather the fundamental concepts

cinder gorge
weak token
#

AP Calc AB is really easy if you know the methods well and is strong with algebra

cinder gorge

#

oh, okay will try. and thank you for your help

solemn hamlet

plucky hemlock
solemn hamlet

How can a degree be of that type

plucky hemlock

DU is an abbreviation for delhi university

solemn hamlet

My sister goes there

plucky hemlock

#

Tie up

solemn hamlet

#

If they dont get an autonomous/university/deemed university tag by the UGC, the college would rather just give a delhi university degree and follow their syllabus

#

Idk how good delhi universitys course is but Mumbai University sucks

solemn hamlet
#

yeah, it's not the most up to date course in any way of the word

#

trust me, id know

#

they don't talk about anything related to technology or anything

Have a science fair project in progress for IRIS too

Wait is it worth going to a more recognized university

for exapmle Like if University of Michigan is ranked 3rd and Princeton ranked 10

#

is it worth going to princeton or somethin?

well more ppl are going to know princeton than indiana wesleyan university even though wesleyan is a better liberal arts school

harsh hedge
#

Is it worth it tho?

#

not about how many people for there for the major

#

if it's gonna help you get a better job

#

Also one thing that just blows my mind is how tf are there Remote jobs listed for engineers?

#

Only one that makes sense is archeture

all engineers need to do is CAD and the manufacturers will handle the rest
