What’s the difference between HL classes and SL classes?? 🤔

Hi! Currently I am a freshman and I take French 3 as my language course. Last year I took French I in the middle school (and was accelerated past level 2 to level 3 upon entering high school). After French 3, I am on track to take French 4 and then AP French. I was concerned because I am noticing that most colleges prefer 4 years of language in high school, but because I was accelerated, I am only able to take a maximum of 3 at the high school. To compensate, is it a good idea to take ASL or some other language course?

Probably because everyone including the people who don’t care about school are required to take it

will that put me in a disadvantage in apps for good colleges?

But if your school has French 5 take that which in this case I don’t your school has

Plus if you're taking it until ap French that's gonna be fine

Yo before i accept this college application, should i stay at community college and finish pre reqs for CS major? for context im a dual enrollment senior in HS and im graduating with my AA DTA in the summer but i decided to go for CS instead of biology 2 months ago. I need calc 1 & 2 and two programing intro classes

#

this might be the wrong section to ask this my bad

#

I am planning to apply to UC colleges, and noticed that there was a fine arts req. I emailed the admissions people and they said that you could take ap music theory instead to fufill the req. I have alr been playing piano for quite a few years so I don't think it will be impossible (even though I dont have too much formal music theory practice). What this work and be a good idea? (i dont realy have space in my schedule for fine arts stuff atm)

It’s not hard but the basis of all of more advanced math is from it

If you can read sheet music then it’s much better

Chemistry feels a bit like it's taken the backseat in modern science 🤔🤔

Honestly yeah, it's just there to help out innovations in biology and physics

#

I feel like biophysics has more happening then chemistry right now

solemn hamlet
#

Like there's biochemistry

#

But besides that

#

There's very little activity in chemistry

#

Particle physics should be a chemistry field 🤔🤔

fringe barn
#

I mean physical chemistry probably has stuff happening

#

But then again physical chemistry is pretty much just Qm

solemn hamlet

Like if chemistry doesn't even contain particles then it's just such a shallow field overall 🤔

You can make the argument all fields of science are just applied physics

question: do you think it’s best to take a foreign language or a heritage language? like a language that your parents speak from where they came from

grim wind
#

You may choose to prioritize practical considerations and opt for a widely spoken foreign language
OR
You can prioritize your heritage and deepen your connection to your cultural roots and heritage

silver temple
#

understood, but do you think colleges would care?

#

like if you take a foreign language they can see that you’re pushing yourself to something new

grim wind
#

Demonstrating proficiency in any foreign language is advantageous

#

Let me ask you this: what is the difference between heritage language and foreign language? @silver temple

silver temple
#

What do you mean by poisted?

grim wind
silver temple
#

i wasn’t sure how to word it but like a language that your ancestors speak

#

for heritage language

grim wind
# silver temple for heritage language

If a student is, let's say, Chinese, and they don't know if they want to deepen their understanding of Chinese or learn a new language like Spanish or French; the short answer is colleges don't care. Chinese, French, Spanish, etc. are all foreign languages

silver temple
#

So colleges wouldn’t think that the student is trying to get a free 100 for taking Chinese?

grim wind
#

From a practical standpoint, learning a widely spoken foreign language increases your marketability in the world. Preserving the language spoken by your parents or ancestors can also preserve your own culture, its values, customs, traditions, etc.

silver temple
#

Got it

grim wind
silver temple
#

Alright thanks for the help

grim wind
# silver temple Alright thanks for the help

It also depends on the depth of study. For example, if a Hispanic person who is fluent in Spanish takes AP Spanish, then college admissions are still impressed because of its AP status

Is calc bc wise without having done calc ab prior?

Is it wise to self-study for AP Calc BC while taking AP Calc AB in the classroom? My school does not offer AP Calc BC. A friend of mine told me you’re given a score for AB when you take the BC exam anyway, so what’s the point of even taking the AB exam?

Hello, im an upcoming sophomore and I've taken honors biomed principles for next year, but I'm also given the option to skip straight to Health Science. I believe in pursuing a degree towards biomedical engineering and applied sciences. Should I skip straight to Health science or continue with principles of biomed?

Alr so I’m a sophomore rn, my school runs on a block schedule so we have 7 classes in total. Next year, I’m thinking of taking Apush, Ap stats, Ap lang, Ap gov, Ap Econ(micro/macro), h-physics, dual enrollment in business (online), then at home as an extra I was going to take Ap spanish online… am I cooked?

#

My school makes it a little easier on aps making the A’s easier to get

#

But still

magic hornet
#

Isnt Ap gov and econ for 12 grade?

#

maybe wait

bold urchin
#

We can take any Ap whenever

magic hornet
#

I guess its fine but idk how difficult Apush will be

lyric orchid
#

So my school doesn’t offer Econ or computer science so I have to take them online. Idk if the computer will let me take both at the same time. I am also taking apgov, stats?, Spanish, and then either honors physics or Apes. Idk if that’s too much for me ( it’s my senior year next year and I’m used to only 1 ap)

#

So my question is

#

Should I take Econ or CSP

#

I really want to take Econ becuase I’m intrrstdd in it, but I might wanna go into a major in cs

For me, I had to create several representation and did extensive research on two of the UNSDGs. When nearing the AP exam, we were all tasked to create a portfolio containing seven items that helped us study for the exam (practice tests, projects, research, flash cards, FRQs)

#

And also APCSP is way easier than APHG if that makes it more convincing

can someone please tell me what AP lang is like. i really want to take it next year and im also wondering if it'll give me an advantage on sat or if English Lit is more that? #course-selection dont think i should tag..

Does anyone know the benefits of DP business management or DP Visual arts? I can only choose one of them and I don’t know which why

I feel like i should take AP Lang for my junior year but english is my weakest subject and it’s might be to much with( BC, psych and econ ) APs . With Dual enrollment wit US History and Independent Research Science

#

Everyone is talking AP lang

much harder

#

like honors we have no hw

and they don’t care about grammar

#

in honors

Take the honors then, at worst you get like 0.05 less wgpa

#

give some suggestions

#

and what extracurriculars i could do in summer

solemn hamlet

#

It’s probably one of the easiest AP exams

#

I feel like the reason that many students complain is because they take it during their freshman year, and most of them overestimated their own abilities for rigorous AP coursework

# solemn hamlet What 😭

in all my classes i get like no hw. Maybe one assingment from geometry and one from algebra but they aren’t long to complete. I also get one smartbook assingment that we have over a week to complete for world history.

If I was in a time crunch, I would strictly only study the FRQs

The content itself is easy, it's just a large quantity of content

makes sense

i find it easy though

Does anyone know if I should take this program where you can earn your associates degree during high school? I feel like It has its cons if I do decide to go out of state like when applying to colleges the college credits might not transfer or like it would decrease my chances of being accepted to out of state colleges. This is a great opportunity but I have mix feelings as I still want to take AP classes during my highschool years but I don't want to risk losing out on being accepted if I do take this program if that makes any sense?

hollow ermine

its good

#

grade and prep wise

wraith scarab

have an A in normal english too but considering ap lit

solemn hamlet

How much does the exam matter to you tho 🤔

The grade matters more for most metrics 🤔

#

U can prep for the exam urself for the credit, plus u only need a 4 that's easy enough

Management can pretty much be boiled down into one core skill and then skills for whatever you 'specialise' in as a manager

#

Have you handled any kind of teams or done smth on ur own initiative?

#

Like a passion project or competition team or club

umbral jackal

but dont u think business is too saturated

Lang & Lit HL
Spanish B SL
Psychology HL
Biology HL
History SL
Math AI SL

ive contemplated taking visual arts instead of histiry but in the end i prefer history more.
im still not sure about biology. i took bio only bcs i can handle bio HL more than chem. if i switch to chem, it would be SL. idk which one is better for teh course and in general i score pretty much teh same in both, so im not sure.

Hey everyone, I wanted your inputs on something. I'm a rising senior and I'll have completed 7 AP/IBs by the end of my junior year. I am currently selecting courses for the next year, and here's my dilemma----I'm currently taking two IB classes which are HL (meaning they last 2 years in duration). From a college admissions standpoint, would it look better to take two APs instead of these IBs? I'm trying to hit around 10 AP/IBs, and what I'm confused about is that if I continue these two IB classes, can I count 9 total (Current 7+2 of senior year) or will colleges still view it as 7 AP/IBs throughout high school as I'm continuing the same IB courses again. If this doesn't make sense please let me know, I'll try to explain it better as I may not have explained it best here

My school requires us to take PREAP psych alongside AP psych now to better prepare for the AP exam.
I want to take the AP exam. My summer courses offer AP psych as a semester course ,
So is it better to take that summer course and self study for the AP exam or just take it during school?
