Upcoming Freshman, was wondering if it was worth doing College Level Courses in my Freshman year, or if I should just stick with AP classes

Whatever gives me the best chance for small acceptance colleges

[full tinsel]

College level and AP are equal

Stick to AP

[sturdy tendon]

I've heard that you can get hours towards your associates with College, still AP or if that's what I'm going for is College still obsolete

[full tinsel]

Depends on ur college plans

If ur going out of state do AP

Also check ur school district policies

[sturdy tendon]

Do not all Colleges and Universities take the hours or straightup associates degrees from these college level courses?

[full tinsel]

Usually in state does

But out of state doesn't

Whereas AP is universal everywhere

will u be taking the calc test too

because thats after precalc

[full tinsel]

Hmmm

[tight radish]

french or spanish 9 (from canada and have taken french from grades 6-8)

[lone lion]

english 9

[loud vortex]

This would be my sophomore year class schedule.

1. Pre-Calc (2 trimesters)
2. AP Stats. (3 trimesters)
3. Honors Global History (2 trimesters)
4. Honors English (2 trimesters)
5. Honors Chemistry (3 trimesters)
6. Spanish 2 (2 trimesters)
7. Either CAD or Business (1 trimester)

Any suggestions? The math classes allow for more APs in the future. The honors classes put me in AP Lit/Lang, AP Chem, and APUSH.

They further enable me to get into APs, and help me pursue my goals.

I’ve only taken one AP and one honors class so far because those are the only ones offered. But I’m pretty sure I can handle the workload.

All of this in total would also get me up to a 4. 27, as I’m at a 4.2 currently. So further putting me ahead of my class mates.

[night remnant]

should i chose economics or no

[halcyon rapids]

Hey is it fine to take ap phys c as my first physics class? Ill study physics 1 over the summer and alr took APs calc and chem

[rocky grove]

Make sure to study ap physics 1 and 2 if you want to do well

Not necessarily, but it will help and give you more background knowledge

[abstract gulch]

You’ll be fine

My school only has ap phys c

[sudden badge]

About to be 9th grade in August with 8 classes to take, 1 class in summer school, and 1 class took in 7th grade.

[robust carbon]

Is that a question 🗿 .

[tight radish]

french or spanish 9 (from canada and have taken french from grades 6-8)

no physics?

[jagged swift]

Thinking about taking chemistry spanish 2, pe, English 10, world history, art, and AP computer science principles as a sophomore

Any suggestions on if I should change something would help

[deft maple]

Should I take Calc 1 without taking pre-calc?

[jagged swift]

Maybe

[deft maple]

What your major?

Also I heard computer science principles is pretty useless

[opaque wedge]

Do you have a good understanding of the things that are taught in pre-calc?

[sullen hearth]

^, if you know algebra 2 and trig identities go ahead and skip

[opaque wedge]

Oh oops sorry! My school told me that I needed a very good understanding of the things taught in pre-calc to skip calc when I asked.

[deft maple]

I want to skip pre-calc but want to take calc 1

[deft maple]

No

[deft maple]

Yeah but I’m gonna need a couple refreshers

[opaque wedge]

In my opinion, I would retake it. However, in the summer if you study a lot on algebra 2, trig, and stuff like that, you can probably take it when school starts again for you.

[deft maple]

Alr

Is trig taught in alg 2. I remember doing some trig in geo

Also I’m taking a high school alg 2 course before I take calc 1

[opaque wedge]

It varies on where you go to school. I did a few trig things in geometry too. Right now I'm in an algebra 2 course, but apparently it's honors for me? The honors class teaches me trig stuff too but not that much.

[deft maple]

Alr, I’m pretty good at math so I’ll try to teach myself some trig over the summer

If it’s too hard I’ll just take pre calc

[opaque wedge]

Sounds great!!

[unborn turret]

Anyone mind giving me insight to determine if I should be EE or ME?

[sullen hearth]

Oh i mean i don’t know how your school does it but. From my understanding precalc is algebra 2 and trigonometry. Are you in algebra 2?

[ripe charm]

Im trynna get into politics and stuff to help my town and maybe even my state out. Any suggestions for majors?

[steady shore]

Does world history AP over the summer for a month sound do-able? Any advice?

[wet cipher]

im taking spanish 2 rn and my grade is NOT it, im porlly gonna do spanish 3 over sophmore year and call it quits but ik people saying i have to have 3 years in school (for ucs)

do u guys have any insight on that thxx

[sullen hearth]

if you like it even if your grade is a lil worse

[sullen hearth]

Why?

[wet cipher]

well u could say i strongly dislike spanish 🙂

so im prob gonna take spanish 3 over sohmore year

[vernal coral]

Should I take physics?

[placid nexus]

In my opinion I say don’t take physics

[nimble basalt]

hey I am aryan I am going to college can anyone help me with choosing the brach I am confused as to which branch to choose Electronics and Communication Engineering or computer science engineering or computer engineering pls tell

[patent geyser]

economic history

[weary atlas]

wait what

oh that was a week ago xD i thought did i just talk about this and get dementia

[opaque wedge]

Yes, I'm currently in algebra 2! You're probably correct about pre-calc! My school is very different from other schools in my area and operates very differently.

[main storm]

You probably shouldn’t skip calc

[sullen hearth]

oh ok

[gloomy jewel]

Hey I'm Vincent and I'm going into my senior year with my classes being as follows. I have a independent study in data science that should get approved and all the electives I was going to take just arent running 😭 . The thing I'm asking about is what I should do for math next year. I took multivarible calculus this (junior) year and though I would take a local linear algebra class as dual enrollment, but my school changed are schedule so know I am in an odd situation

1. I can drop AP research and take the CSU linear algebra class

2. I can take an online linear algebra class and keep the schedule as is

3. Do neither and just self study ap stats and call it a day

[tight wedge]

id drop ap research, its considered an easy class by itself but with your workload it could be a real pain as its providing extra weight 😭 the csu linear algebra class looks better (at least to me) than the ap research imo

[tight wedge]

okay so im in a dilemma rn im taking like 5(?)6(?) ap classes next year not including ap calc bc which i want to take next year (all these ap classes bc my school only offers ap classes typically when you finish the entire subject through honors so as a senior ill be finished with practicality all my courses if that makes sense) my precalc teacher told me she highly recommends me to do ap stats as i told her i wanna major in polisci 😭😭 or if anything take ab with is the rational choice but im an idiot so my way of thinking is that i could either
a. take ap calc bc as a dual enrollment (another school is offering it as dual enrollment credit so if a fail its not gonna affect gpa or my credits) and take maybe ab or stats during the school year
b. take calc 1 during the summer and take ap calc bc (i was told under normal scenarios with me this would work but considering that im taking a bunch of other aps..)
c. take ap bc until college apps are done then take ab and report it to schools
the class thats really providing a huge problem with whatever i pick next year is ap bio but i have to take another science class and ive already taken all the non ap ones offered and id rather take bio than an ap physics or ap chem. 🤕

[opaque wedge]

Oh, I'm not going to skip calc!! Thank you though!!

[main storm]

Oh ok mb

[cold pecan]

Is 6 credits a good amount for Junior year?

College credits I mean

[golden bronze]

yeah any number of creduts helps

[sullen hearth]

yip yap

[lone lion]

what is yip bro

😭

[grim wind]

theres no need to take calc ab if u gonna take bc first

the decision is up to you

If you think you can't endure it then why not take ab during your summer so can decrease the workload before the school year begins?

also ap stats is a joke, read your prospective university's ap credit policy to see if it transfers

For example I read on Quora that AP Stats doesn't transfer to one of Purdue University's CS tracks

[ornate shuttle]

What are some classes that a sophomore should take?

[solemn hamlet]

Precalc, a stem ap, am elective ap?

[forest mural]

is AP physics 2 worth taking just for the gpa boost

i want a 5.0 for my senior year just for fun

im majoring in CS if that is an issue

[ornate shuttle]

What is a stem ap?

[deft maple]

Any AP in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics

These include, chemistry, physics 1, physics 2, physics c mechanics, physics c electricity and magnetism, biology, calculus ab, calculus bc, statistics, computer science principles, and computer science a

[deft maple]

What do you want to major in?

[deft maple]

If it benefits your major yes if it doesn’t then don’t. It’s senior year, go and have fun.

[deft maple]

6 credit hours? If yes how many courses is that?

[ornate shuttle]

Computer science or biology

[deft maple]

Are you trying to get college credits sophomore year?

[ornate shuttle]

Yes

[deft maple]

So for you I would recommend AP Computer Science A and AP biology

And if you think you can handle a harder course load, I would recommend AP chemistry too

AP biology and AP chemistry will help towards a biology major and Computer Science A will help towards a computer science major

If you ever decide to major in computer science do not take AP computer science principles because that class will not help you

Wait actually save AP chemistry for junior year unless you have taken a high school course in chemistry

Same thing with biology

[ornate shuttle]

What’s the main differences betweeen AP computer science principles and AP computer science A

[deft maple]

Computer science principles is easier but it doesn’t really help computer science majors since it doesn’t show up on college graduation requirements

Btw have you taken biology or chemistry yet?

[ornate shuttle]

No chemistry will be next year. (Sophomore year)

[deft maple]

Are you fine with three science classes? If so you should take AP biology

And AP computer science a but I’m not sure how difficult the class is without any computer science experience. Might have to ask someone else

[ornate shuttle]

I still have not taken a ap class yet. I’m taking ap human geography and ap seminar next year, also thinking of ap computer science but idk how difficult the class is

[deft maple]

Does AP human geography or AP seminar benefit your major or gen eds?

[ornate shuttle]

I was told to do ap human geography because it’s a class that will help my intro into APs

Seminar no

That’s why I want to find a class that does help me

[deft maple]

So it doesn’t benefit gen eds or major?

[ornate shuttle]

What is gen Eds?

[deft maple]

General education (gen eds for short) are courses required for all students at a university to take no matter the major

Do you have a list of colleges you want to go to?

[ornate shuttle]

Yes I’ll list them

UCLA
USC
Duke
Unc
Washu
Calstate
UofO

[deft maple]

Do you know how to access graduation requirements for specific majors and their general education requirements?

[ornate shuttle]

No, that’s one of the reasons for joining this discord

[deft maple]

Alright that’s fine

Go to google

And search up the university name and graduation requirements for what ever major your interested

[ornate shuttle]

Alright

[deft maple]

And for gen eds just search university name and general education requirements

You might want to write down whatever you find important on you research for graduation requirements

And send me a DM for any more questions

[ornate shuttle]

Okay 👍

[cold pecan]

1...5? Courses for 6 college credits

[solemn hamlet]

What

[cold pecan]

It's a weird situation cause the course gets me 3 but there's an additional mini-course at the end of the year for another 3.

This class also gets replaced by internship at some point?

It's a weird situation.

[elfin hill]

I need your opinion on something

I got confirmed for ap lang like on Friday

So it’s gonna be my first ap next year(junior year)

Idk if I’m going to do it though I’m just scared loll + my current English teacher said once I’m in the class I can’t drop out

[solemn hamlet]

have you asked anyone who took it with the teacher about the courseload

[elfin hill]

Not yet I am about to tho

I’ve been told

2 teachers for ap lang at my school

They’re both good at teaching the material

[solemn hamlet]

one good, one horrid?

[solemn hamlet]

ok good

[elfin hill]

1. Really hard teacher 2. Strict grader that’s it

[solemn hamlet]

hard teacher?

[elfin hill]

Ig

[solemn hamlet]

Hard how

[elfin hill]

Idk if it’s the pacing or material tho

[solemn hamlet]

besides grading, how can they be hard

[elfin hill]

I’m just nervous lol

[solemn hamlet]

Youll be fine

[elfin hill]

Of the pacing

[solemn hamlet]

dw

[elfin hill]

3 kids who are in honors english 2 said it’s gonna be mad hard for me

I’m in accelerated english 2

[solemn hamlet]

don't listen to ops

[elfin hill]

The level under honors

Ik it’s hard obv but I know how beneficial it’s gonna be

There’s skills that will help me with the sat and stuff

[solemn hamlet]

Does your schoool really not let u take APs or honors unless you're the cream of the crop 😭

[elfin hill]

Eh

[solemn hamlet]

you can defo do sat rw without ap lang

[elfin hill]

Can I list you the requirements

[solemn hamlet]

yes

[elfin hill]

To take ap lang

Okay

[solemn hamlet]

also what's the average wgpa at ur school

[elfin hill]

First of all you can’t be in regular English you have to get to accelerated or honors first before having a chance that’s just self explanatory

A in english 2 accelerated or a B in english 2 honors
PSAT reading and writing score of 590-760 there’s cutoffs so if I got a 500+ or above I’m still good or sat 640-800

• teacher recommendation

[elfin hill]

Yeah but there’s skills that will help you more

In lang

[solemn hamlet]

youcan get an 800 without those skills

anything above 750 is luck anyway

[solemn hamlet]

not bad but kinda unnecessary 😭
How large of a school u in??

[elfin hill]

I think it’s medium size

Bro same

It’s unnecessary

It makes me mad

[solemn hamlet]

it's not exactly hard to do, it's just like ...what?

[elfin hill]

The science supervisor rejected me of ap physics 1

So I have to do physics honors now

Like are you serious

[solemn hamlet]

[elfin hill]

Because of my psat score

Like who gives a shit

[solemn hamlet]

💀

the psat doesnt even have science

[elfin hill]

Math

[solemn hamlet]

yes ofc

[elfin hill]

I’m good tho

I got approved

Even tho my psat score was shit

[solemn hamlet]

Idk, why tf do they care about psat scores

[elfin hill]

I was out of the English requirement

So my teacher mentioned my name in a email with a bunch of students who are in the same situation

And they all got approved and good but they are firm on once you get on no dropping out no matter if it’s hard

[elfin hill]

Look

I get where they’re coming from

But seriously bro

[solemn hamlet]

no i dont

its dumb

[elfin hill]

680 math or higher is one of the requirements for ap physics 1

Like why

If you’re gonna make a req like that

Make it 500 or above at least

[solemn hamlet]

Why do you need to be able to get an a to do a class

[elfin hill]

No that’s self explanatory

Can’t be struggling in english 2 accelerated with a C and wanting to do ap lang

You will probably do bad

I have an A+ in english rn tho

But anyways

Just nervous yk

First ap next year

I still have time by the end of the school year to decide between lang or english 3 honors

[clear pulsar]

That’s a good requirement

[lucid gate]

Okay I'm tryna figure out if im getting way over my head, im already planning to take 4 APs next year (Lang, Calc BC, Physics 2, and APUSH) and two intensive dual enrollment classes plus a free period, im considering switching out the free period for AP Psych, is this too much

[elfin hill]

Bro ig

Kind of annoying tho

[elfin hill]

Yes it is

I heard calc bc takes a lot of time

Outside of school

To keep up with the class

[lucid gate]

okay thank you!

[elfin hill]

Like

I’m not saying don’t do calc bc

But from my perspective

You don’t want a lot of ap classes

Because you already have hard classes that will take up your time

Lang and bc

And apush

Like physics 2 will be extra work

With all the others

[solemn flicker]

Do you guys think it'll be too hard to self study AP chem??

For extra info I took ib chem sl this year

So idk if I want to self study and then take the exam orr

[glacial onyx]

Yes

[glacial onyx]

I think having a class to do ap chem is so beneficial so I wouldn’t recommend it but that’s just me

[summer jacinth]

so this fall im going to go into grade 9 (freshman year of high school) and i wanna have a basic understanding of what type of classes i should enroll in. I dont have a lot of time on my hands after school and want classes that are somewhat interesting/fun but also have a good amount of merit? any help is appreciated, thank you

@here

[violet dagger]

choose useful classes that you're interested in (AP CSP, graphic production, etc)

choose some hard classes, but don't overdo it

also its gtk what restrictions ur hs has for classes, go talk to a hs student there abt that

ig my hs doesn't let me hv any electives this year but it might be diff for u

and make sure that ur filling all ur hs credits. check ur districts hs grad reqs and what classes woudl fulfill which reqs

[summer jacinth]

ok thx alot

[worn shard]

Do ya’ll think taking 5 ap classes is too much? Cause I’m trying to take calc BC, Physics 2, APUSH, Lit, and Bio

[amber meteor]

ok so im tryna be a surgeon when im onlde

r

what courses should i take in grade 10-12

[turbid arch]

is this a good schedule for next year?

[deft maple]

What is algebra 3/4?

[deft maple]

AP biology, AP chemistry, AP anatomy and physiology (if college board releases it)

[golden bronze]

i think like precalc

idk

[rich turret]

Guys I wonder what subjects to choose to study after 10th grade. I wonder between Math & IT and Geography and History

[opaque wedge]

I believe algebra 3 is trigonometry and algebra 4 is precalc.

[turbid arch]

alg 4 for us is general statistics, or for me, honors stats

we then take pre-calc after that, then calculus

[opaque wedge]

Ohh, it's different at my school then. For us, it's precalc, calculus, then statistics. My apologies!!

[turbid arch]

yeah, we have pre-calc, calc ab or bc, and even adv calc 2 or 3

[opaque wedge]

Ohh, I see!! My school is also way different from other schools and is pretty small so we don't have a lot of math classes.

[turbid arch]

our school has about 2-3k students attending, so we a lot of students taking advanced math

[opaque wedge]

Wow, that's a lot!! Our school has less than 270 students

I think we have calc ab and bc too though now that I think about it.

[high birch]

hi

i need some help convincing my parents to do chem over the summer

i’m doing geometry over the summer

already

and they think it’s too much since i have a internship im doing on friday

[worn shard]

.

[lilac condor]

Hi guys, I'm an incoming freshman doing geometry honors and pe 1 a and b and pe 2 a and b over summer. My tris a English honors 2 tris. Bio and chem 4tris. Spanish 3 2 tris. Architecture 2tris. Algebra 2 honors 2 tris. Engineering 2 tris.

I might try to self study for spanish three over the summer too, but I don't have any Quizlets and stuff. Does anyone have tips on what I should be doing

[golden bronze]

whats a tris

[full tinsel]

Do u mean doing spanish III over the summer?

[opaque wedge]

Just a suggestion, but I wouldn't do chemistry online if that's what you are saying. Chemistry, along with other sciences, are very hands on learning and you would need to be in an actual lab to learn things in my opinion. For what it's worth, my biology teacher told us that it's also quite difficult to learn/teach online sciences. If you are doing summer school though and are taking chemistry in that summer school, I would go for it.

[lilac condor]

No, actually there is a very cool thing which lets native speakers advance faster onto the Spanish pathway, so my idea was that is I study enough for Spanish three, especially since Ive already done Spanish 1 and 2, I could take such test, hopefully pass it, and take Spanish 4 which is actually weighted for us.

[golden bronze]

bud u dont have to rush

take ur time

u dont need spanish 4&5 for ap spanish if thats what u trynna do

[lilac condor]

Sorry, for us it's very different. It's Spanish 1, 2, 3, 4 honors (which gets you the seal of bileteracy) and also AP Spanish though most just take the AP test instead of also taking the class.

[lilac condor]

I'd love some more suggestions

Thx for all the help

[golden bronze]

it’s required to do all 4?

[lilac condor]

Colleges prefer 3, but at that point you should take the gpa boost of Spanish 4, and then you basically are also totally prepared for the AP Spanish test

[golden bronze]

thats a bad idea

spanish 3 is more than enough for spanish test

take ap spanish instead

if ur gonna take a spanish course like spanish 4 u might as well take ap spanish which give u a bigger gpa boost

[lilac condor]

Lots of kids say that the AP test should be light with that yeah.

[golden bronze]

so dont take spanish 4 take ap spanish then take ap test

[opaque wedge]

What's a tris?

[golden bronze]

no one recommends taking a ap test without the course

idk who told you that

[lilac condor]

Although for us to take ap Spanish u do need spanish 4. And Spanish 4 is kinda a light ap

[golden bronze]

thats not the norm whatsoever

[golden bronze]

slanish 4 is not an ap lil bro

spanish*

[lilac condor]

Mb I meant to say weight

then wait till u take ap spanish to take the ap test

[golden bronze]

idk bout ur school college grade them the same

[lilac condor]

Not worth. From lots of other students telling me AP Spanish is def not needed to take the test

[golden bronze]

ur gpa dont increase based of course level only increases if its ap

[solemn hamlet]

Is spanish 4 honors 🤔

[lilac condor]

Yes

[solemn hamlet]

So it's still weighted but not as much as an ap yeah

[lilac condor]

Gtg I'll reply later. Nice convo

[golden bronze]

i mean go ahead i wish u the best but its a language course and requires a lot of practice

[lilac condor]

Also please use ping

[sudden badge]

I am a tad concerned about my high school classes as 8th grade winds down

[golden bronze]

bro highschool is light ur fine

[solemn hamlet]

What math ru on

[opaque wedge]

Why are you concerned?

[golden bronze]

holy shit how long is bros message 😭

[sudden badge]

Here are my classes, but keep in mind, I am going to a Catholic high school whose classes are a little different. By the end of the year, I should have

Algebra 2 Honors
English 9 Honors
Spanish 2 Honors
Physics Honors
AP Computer Science Principles
Intro to Engineering
Health
PE
And 2 religion classses.

Granted, by the time I start high school, I would have Intro to Engineering and Health down.

[lilac condor]

Not tryna dismiss u. I have a friend who did your kinda pathway with all that Spanish 5 and all that. Our school prepares us a lot better for Spanish especially since of the amount of native speakers here.

[solemn hamlet]

That's good

[lilac condor]

Other feedback would be great

[solemn hamlet]

You shouldn't really be worried

[opaque wedge]

Oh, I go to a small Catholic high school too!! Those classes look great!! I think you'll do amazing in them!

I'm a freshman right now and I took/am taking similar classes to what you're going to take next year.

However, do you need a history credit next year?

[lilac condor]

I'm not the most knowledgeable but maybe if they offer it try something like bio or chem or something in that sort of field. That's what I'm doing right now to see what I want to do later in life. But if you're set on that, all good.

[sudden badge]

My school is physics first ok

[lilac condor]

I need to do history credit next year too.

[lilac condor]

I see. All good 👍😊

[opaque wedge]

Okay, will a history class fit into your schedule?

[lilac condor]

I'm taking it over the summer cause it's a ton of reading

[opaque wedge]

I recommend taking one this year so you won't fall behind and have to double up in the next few years.

[opaque wedge]

Alright, that sounds good!

[lilac condor]

I think we only have to do three years and I'm taking all of them over three summers

[opaque wedge]

Okay, that makes sense!! At my school we have to do it all four years and we aren't allowed to take any classes in the summer.

I mean we can, but it just won't do anything for us at school and we would have to still take the course in school.

[solemn hamlet]

Rip 😭

[solemn hamlet]

What 😭

[lilac condor]

I see. We're only allowed 40 credits or around 4 classes during summer

[solemn hamlet]

Can you do DE in the summer? Have you asked your counselor 🤔

Or like does DE and stuff simply not count towards ur hs transcript 😭😕

[lilac condor]

What's da

*de

[solemn hamlet]

Dual enrollment, you do college classes at a community college at the same time as hs

[opaque wedge]

Yeah 😭

[opaque wedge]

You're lucky!! I wish I could do that and it would count towards my education at school.

[lilac condor]

Yeah that's a thing but since we're only allowed 40 credits we'd rather do it over the summer to lighten up the load. Also I'd rather focus on extra curriculars

[solemn hamlet]

Makes sense yeah

[lilac condor]

I'm sorry. I would say contact your counselor if your interested in summer classes and see if there is a path or way.

[solemn hamlet]

Are you volunteering volunteering or spending your time in non competition clubs btw

[opaque wedge]

Our school counselor just got fired 😭

[solemn hamlet]

💀

[lilac condor]

Yeah I'm volunteering for some robotics teams.

[lilac condor]

Nah that's crazy 🤣

[opaque wedge]

They told us we won't have one until next school year if we are lucky 😭

[solemn hamlet]

The best ECs are something you start on your own initiative like a passion project, and/ or something that shows your competence and passion through quantifiable impact and the prestige of competitions/awards

[lilac condor]

Any of y'all know how to start a national science bowl club

[golden bronze]

thats alr a thing

[solemn hamlet]

Unless you really enjoy volunteering for the robotics teams and only that, you could redirect that effort 🤔

[golden bronze]

u cant just make smth liek that

[lilac condor]

That's the club I'm tryna start. It's basically like the science Olympiad

[solemn hamlet]

Bro's dumb or smth?

[golden bronze]

yeah

i am

[lilac condor]

My school does t have a club for it so I could start it

[solemn hamlet]

Are you trying to make a team for the NSB for your school?

Yes makes sense

[lilac condor]

Yes please if you have any help on how to do that

[solemn hamlet]

See, competition clubs and making clubs, that's impactful

[opaque wedge]

Ohh, I would go for it then! It shows leadership and if it's your passion, then that's good too!

[solemn hamlet]

What kinda uni do u wanna go to btw

[lilac condor]

Thanks 👍 I'm pretty stoked if that would happen

[solemn hamlet]

You just need to register it in your local qualifying competition

[opaque wedge]

I'm sure it will!! You got this!

[solemn hamlet]

And you need to get the members and register it at your school first ofc

[lilac condor]

Bro if there's any way for u to help me start a club at my school for it that would be clutch

[solemn hamlet]

As you would with any club

[golden bronze]

wait thats all u gotta do to make a national club

[solemn hamlet]

Registration for the 2025 regional competitions will open Monday, October 7, 2024, at 12:00 noon Eastern time.

[lilac condor]

I see, if you don't mind using ping reply that would be great to kinda keep track of stuff. Sorry for being petty

[solemn hamlet]

For now, all you can do is make a club and start preparing
(#course-selection message)

[golden bronze]

@solemn hamlet

[solemn hamlet]

It's not a national club though, what 😭
It's your school's club for the nsb 😭

[solemn hamlet]

And yeah, to make it an official team you just need to sign up as a team for your regional competition

[golden bronze]

he said he wants to start a national science bowl club

[opaque wedge]

Oh, guys I have a quick question!! Do things such as being a Student Ambassador and Council of Academic Integrity member count as an extracurricular?

[solemn hamlet]

I can understand taking things that are phrased incorrectly literally, but that's literally phrased well

[solemn hamlet]

Like student council?

It's pretty common atp

And it's useless and menial work 🤔

[opaque wedge]

No, it's different from the student council!

[golden bronze]

whats that supposed to mean

[opaque wedge]

Oh, so being on the student council is a common extracurricular?

[golden bronze]

yeah

[humble meadow]

@old crag
Next year

AP Seminar
AP US History
AP Computer Science Principles
AP Computer Science A

im taking apush and seminar

[old crag]

WWWW

[opaque wedge]

The Council of Academic Integrity at my school basically is similar to a court/judge thing. If someone cheats or violates our honour code in any way, they have to go before our council. The Council discusses amongst themselves the punishment of the student who broke the honour code.

[old crag]

then I think you're set tbh unless you want to take ap comp sci

[golden bronze]

y u taking csp and csa the same time

[old crag]

they ain't lil bro 😭

[humble meadow]

but what for junior and senior year i was thinking about Ap Bio, Ap Anatomy, and Ap Chem

are there any others i should consider

[old crag]

oh yeah, you're gonna need those for bio

not sure about anatomy since it covers human anatomy mostly

but definitely ap bio and ap chem

[humble meadow]

alr

what about

Ap maths

[golden bronze]

oh hes takin one at a time

or wat

[humble meadow]

this year

hhih

[old crag]

what have you done so far

like forget aps

just what course did you take this year

[humble meadow]

honors alg 1 (im a freshman)

[old crag]

guessing you're a freshman

bet, then take alg 2

[humble meadow]

yea

[old crag]

and then ap precalc

and then either ap calc or ap stats

[humble meadow]

in my shool we need to take geomatry 1 b4 precalc

[old crag]

oh fuck i forgot about that

honestly, geo is so easy 😭

[humble meadow]

should i ask my guidence counseler about self study?

bc i could take alg 2 and geo 1 at the same time

[old crag]

oh you def can, i did and i got a 98 in geo and 95 in alg 2

geo is so easy, i never studied except for like one unit

geo repeats what you've already learned and adds a few new formulas but overall it's intuitive and easy

[humble meadow]

what about Ap Psych is that important?

[old crag]

nah, you're going to major in bio so no not really

unless you want to take it for funsies

personally i loved the class

[humble meadow]

I heard its kinda easy in my school

but tysm you were a massive help in getting what i needed straight :DD

[old crag]

ofc!! i bullshitted my way through high school and had to learn the hard way about everything sekjbfhjbdfj ik how confusing it is

[humble meadow]

but one last thing for ecs Im on varsity tennis and I do a lot of orchestra stuff and is the founder of a club what else should i go for?

student council?

[opaque wedge]

Oh! Is AP psych and intro to psych the same class or is it different?

[lone lion]

why principles

and A

💀

[humble meadow]

im not taking it

💀

[lone lion]

huh

[old crag]

probs different

[lone lion]

so whyd u say next year

😭

[old crag]

lil bro you dont know context 😭

[lone lion]

oh

"lil bro" shut up

[humble meadow]

😭

[lone lion]

using lil bro gotta be the most overused thing

[lone lion]

diff

[opaque wedge]

Okay, thank you!

[opaque wedge]

Thank you!!

[old crag]

lmao idc but aight

[lone lion]

💀 ok buddy

[old crag]

ofc!

[opaque wedge]

I want to take another AP class next year, but the only other AP class offered to incoming sophomores at my school (besides AP World History, which I will be taking) is AP computer science. I want to take it but I don't like the teacher who teaches it. What should I do?

[lone lion]

take dual enrollment

trust

[old crag]

dual the loml

[opaque wedge]

My school doesn't let us do that until junior year!

[old crag]

fair, it needs early release and shi

[opaque wedge]

I will definitely do that though when I'm a junior.

[lone lion]

screw ur school 🔥

[opaque wedge]

What's early release?

[opaque wedge]

Fr I don't like it 😭

[lone lion]

type shit

[old crag]

lawd, if you want to take it but think it might tank your gpa then i wouldn't risk it

[old crag]

like you can go home early

our dual cred class times are different and only juniors and seniors are allowed early release

[lone lion]

ok

[opaque wedge]

AP computer science?

[lone lion]

if it doesnt have any relation to ur interest

dont take it

?

[opaque wedge]

Ohh, makes sense!!

[old crag]

mhm

[opaque wedge]

I want to take it to boost my GPA

[lone lion]

😂

[opaque wedge]

It's the only other AP class offered to sophomores

[lone lion]

aight u do u 💪

[opaque wedge]

But I'm not sure

[lone lion]

what ru not sure abt

its either boosting ur gpa

[opaque wedge]

The teacher who teaches it doesn't really like me I don't think and I don't like her

[lone lion]

or a free period/diff class

ok so dont take it

[old crag]

i wouldn't take it

don't risk the gpa tank

[opaque wedge]

What should I take instead?

[lone lion]

idk ur course offerings

[old crag]

what all is offered

and what are your interests/plans for college

[opaque wedge]

I want to go into a medical field position.

[lone lion]

they spelled psychology wrong

sue them

[opaque wedge]

That was my old school counselor who just got fired

[lone lion]

lol

[old crag]

psych, or like actual medicine with like diagnosing flu and shit

ykwim

[opaque wedge]

I want to take that too but the thing is, the teacher who teaches that is also teaching AP computer science so idk 😭

That was going to be option #2

[old crag]

😭

[opaque wedge]

We don't have any medicine classes besides forensics science and anatomy, which I can't take until junior year

[old crag]

psych was super fun for me but this is your schedule ofc

[opaque wedge]

It seems super fun!!! I love learning how the brain works and all that

But y'know it's the teacher that ruins it for me

I had her for this freshman seminar class that was mandatory and so useless

And she was not good at teaching, took a useless class so seriously, and was a little racist towards me

The reason why she hates me is because she hates my friend

Well, I think she hates me at least

[sturdy oar]

0_0...

[old crag]

then i wouldn't risk it

if she doesn't like you, she'll grade harder

[opaque wedge]

That's what I'm thinking

What do you recommend I take instead?

I'll be doing band next year, which satisfies my fine arts credit for next year.

[old crag]

I'd take econ/personal finance

it's good to learn it and it will def help you a lot in life

[opaque wedge]

Ooh, okay!! I heard the teacher for that is really good!

[opaque wedge]

Yes, I heard that too!! Thank you for your help and advice!

[old crag]

also bc taxes will be so real in a few years

[old crag]

ofc! good luck <3

[opaque wedge]

Frfr 😭

[opaque wedge]

Thank you!!

[rich turret]

Guys should I study Math & IT or History & Geography. I like all of those subjects so I have to decide, but I don't know which ones to pick.

[opaque wedge]

Which field are you going into or what are your plans for college?

If you're going into a field that involves a lot of math or computer science, I would say study math and IT stuff. However, if you're going into a field that revolves around history or geography, then I would say study history and geography.

[coral crane]

choose the subject(s) you like more

[median arch]

Never pick all at once

[devout tinsel]

Guys should I take 6 AP's JR year

[solemn hamlet]

Unless you're taking the 6 easiest or hardest APs available, yeah

[devout tinsel]

Im taking AP Physics : Mech, AP LANG, AP US History, AP Calc AB, AP Comp Si, AP Macro

Is that good

[solemn hamlet]

If u can handle it yeah

[devout tinsel]

Oh, cause I barely took any this year: 2 🥶

[solemn hamlet]

And which were those 2?

How did u do on those

[devout tinsel]

AP EUro, and Micro

[devout tinsel]

Really well in class

For Micro, I did like 8 practice tests and got 5's on all of them, but I could have sold a 5

Im not sure tho

[solemn hamlet]

AP exam scores don't matter
Have you asked anyone who took the APs you're gonna take with the same teacher and ones you've taken to compare difficulties and ensure any of them don't have crazy course loads (some teachers do that)

[devout tinsel]

Like most of the teachers are good, except 1 of the Calc teachers, but the APUSH teachers are really intense

Like other than that the teachers are good

[solemn hamlet]

Well, sounds good then, what ru worried about

[devout tinsel]

The amount of time im gonna have

to do other ecs and stuff

and SAT, im trying to get a 1550+

[hollow shard]

damn hardcore!

keep up the work

[devout tinsel]

thx, Im gonnna try to grind it

Rn im at like mid-high 1400's

as per practice tests

[hollow shard]

nice

I'm going for a 1500+

🙏 I get it on my practices

[robust carbon]

Why put your goals so low?

I say your goal should be a 1600!

[hollow shard]

💀

[solemn hamlet]

Noone cares about a 1600
Tis a waste of the time 💀

A 1600 vs a 1580 or 1550 or 1540 is not much better, time would be better spent on ECs

[devout tinsel]

yea, but I hate when I make a dumb mistake on MOD 1 and it dropps my score so much

[robust carbon]

Dang.

My wisdom juice ran out.

[solemn hamlet]

Eh i mean fair 🤔
1600 hits different

[devout tinsel]

Yea

[burnt wasp]

hey there everyone i recently joined this server

[devout tinsel]

and the amount of merit scholorships that you can get is crazy

[devout tinsel]

Yo

[burnt wasp]

hey

[solemn hamlet]

💯

Merit scholarships are still stuck in 2006

[ornate sundial]

Which is a better course a Major in Comouter Science or a Major in Data Science or AI & ML?

[sharp plaza]

Which is better AP Bio or AP Chemistry. I want to go to med school

[devout tinsel]

Depends on your interest

[robust carbon]

Probably Bio, although you would want to do both.

[timid mountain]

AP Bio

[lone lion]

both

[vernal coral]

Don't you need both?

Oh wait

It probably works differently in America

[lone lion]

u dont "need" it

[vernal coral]

I meant as perquisites?

[lone lion]

eh

i dont think so

its just nice to have

[vernal coral]

Oh

Ok

[round crypt]

look at the course units. And look at what you want to major in. I've taken neitehr of the courses so I can't give you good advice. But both seem pretty helpful

Also, for the STEM kids... would taking AP Physics C (Mechanics and Electrism), AP Calc BC, AP CSA, and AP Lit in my senior year be a bad idea?

people are saying that I should just kill myself because I'll want to next year

also whats the difference between AP Physics C mechanics and AP Physics 1?

[abstract gulch]

Ap physics C uses calculus and Ap phys 1 uses algebra I’m pretty sure

But u don’t need to do ap phys 1 bf ap phys C

[round crypt]

I already did physics 1

Just this year

You think it would help me?

[abstract gulch]

Yes

[cinder gorge]

im thinking about testing out of japanese and hindi (both self study) with a credit-by-exam, but it will hurt my weighted gpa cuz theyre both non-weighted credits.

should i still test out of them?

[tame pawn]

3.8 unweighted is not “absolutely horrible” at all

[lone lion]

Thats not bad thov

?

3.8+ is good

[weary atlas]

well depends on if it's out of 4 or 100 🧍‍♂️

e.g. the national curriculum here does unweighted (weighted isn't available) out of 5

[lapis island]

Yea ig but im kinda scared that it might go to a 3.7 this year so doing anything that would give me a boost would help me out a lot

[solemn hamlet]

What kinda uni do u wanna go to 🤔

[lapis island]

UCLA or Berkeley, Harvard is always the dream

[lone lion]

bruh its diff schools and colleges know that

So if u have a 5 uw then they scale it

[weary atlas]

i knoww xD

[pulsar torrent]

can’t speak for the other classes but csa is a fairly straightforward class and something i didn’t find very hard, runestone has an excellent curriculum if you need extra assistance also

[round crypt]

Is it free?

[pulsar torrent]

yeah

teaches you basically everything with multiple choice, coding and frq practice

[high birch]

I am trying to do Dual enrollment math in 12th grade. I started as a freshman in algebra one I am going into my sophomore year to geometry over the summer and doing algebra two in the school year then next year I’ll have ap pre-calc but in my senior year i’ll have AP calculus AB or BC, how do I get to my senior year with duel enrollment

[hollow ermine]

tbh 3.7 isnt even bad but its just inflation all around

the apps

everywhere

[lapis island]

But isn’t the avg for admits a 3.9 for t20 schools, 3.7 is super far from that

[hollow ermine]

yea ik

im not sure about it

ask @solemn hamlet

he probably knows

[lone lion]

hes questionably helpful

🔥

[lunar summit]

I am a freshman taking AP physics next year but some people are telling me to also take chemistry as some colleges require it

Is it a must do we need to take it?

[wraith scarab]

counselor allowed me to retake french 2 (i failed the class), but i would have to replace ap stats. should i still take ap stats or take french 2 next year and french 3 senior year (i want to major in engineering)

[robust carbon]

You need the language credits [for colleges], so yea, probably.

[lone lion]

french

[robust carbon]

oui

[wraith scarab]

alrlight ill email my counselor

[wraith scarab]

tres bien

i still know some stuff after not taking french for a year

[robust carbon]

you skipped french in 9th?

[wraith scarab]

10th

[robust carbon]

[wraith scarab]

i failed french 2 9th, had a shitty counselor that recommended an elective instead of retaking it

and once i realized i needed language credits i now have to retake it as a junior

[robust carbon]

Oof.

[wraith scarab]

i have a 2.9 weighted rn so it will raise my gpa to repeat a failed class rather than taking ap stats

[lone lion]

oh no

😭

[dim gorge]

As a fellow person trying to get into Eng, I wish you luck

[wraith scarab]

im talking the hardest math and science classes possible as well as dual enrollment for my junior and senior years

i need to increase my course rigor

[dim gorge]

Same…

[wraith scarab]

i think ap calc ab, ap chem, ap physics c, apush, dual enrollment english, and either pltw or ap comp sci will be good enough

in the course of two years

goal is 3.8 weighted

[south echo]

Can you tell me if I can do an English literature major if I chose MPC in my high school

[sharp plaza]

Is algebra 2 as a junior normal

[ember gust]

If I want to become doctor what should I major in

[void plover]

Question

bye bye

ok i dont kno how to respond to that

thats the reality most who apply have natjonal awards or smth equivalent

[solemn hamlet]

Define national awards

[coral crane]

ask him to define it🫤

national awards are def good but for a good chance at getting into an ivy u need the best national awards like isef fbla deca smth like that

cant be some random competition

[lone lion]

🤡🤡

[cursive panther]

are 7 aps in senior year too much?

like i don’t care much about like two of the ap tests but i want the gpa boost that it gives

[pale bloom]

my school doesn't even allow us to take like more than 4 💀

[deft maple]

Fr

[deft maple]

Bro why would you take APs that don’t benefit you 💀

[lone lion]

buddy u have 3 years left

stop worrying abt senior year 😭

[cursive panther]

lol

[deft maple]

Are you a junior rn?

[cursive panther]

no incoming fresh

lol

i should prolly stop worrying about senior year

[deft maple]

Ain’t no way 💀

[glacial solar]

hi people! i kinda have an issue, im in 10th grade rn and have to choose the subjects ill take next year but whatever i take will affect what ill be able to study in university. im interested in studying psychology but not 100% sure, i want to take all science subjects just incase i couldnt get into psychology but i personally dont think i can handle it. whenever i ask someone for help on choosing the subjects they tell me it depends on the requirements of the university but i dont know which one im going into yet since im only in 10th. what should i do?

[deft maple]

College board college search will help you find colleges

Btw are you aiming for Ivy Leagues or regular universities?

[glacial solar]

whats that ?

[glacial solar]

just regular

[deft maple]

Google it

[deft maple]

So I would recommend taking AP psychology and do job shadowing for any careers your interested in

[glacial solar]

my school doesnt have psychology anymore unfortunately

[deft maple]

You could self study an AP exam but it is a lot of work. Do you have a lot of time on your hands?

But in my opinion I would focus on extracurriculars

[glacial solar]

if its self study i could make time

[glacial solar]

like what ?

[deft maple]

Mr. Sinn videos will be a life saver for you 🙏

[deft maple]

Job shadowing or internships in psychology

[glacial solar]

ill check him out thankss

[glacial solar]

i see

what about school subjects for now

[deft maple]

Well what science classes have took so far?

You said your into science? What kind of science?

[glacial solar]

i take all of them now but next year i can choose which to take, except for physics since its mandatory in my school

[glacial solar]

biology mostly

[deft maple]

find out which career you most interested in. You said you weren’t 100% sure about psychology so how sure about psychology are you?

And how sure are you about biology?

[glacial solar]

likee 80%

[glacial solar]

70% ?

i like biology but it can get annoying

[deft maple]

Yeah so look into job shadowing for both fields

Do you have any connections to biologists or psychologist

Or any related field

[glacial solar]

you mean people ?

yeah

[deft maple]

Job shadow them

[glacial solar]

i asked the sister of girl studying psychology(since i cant get to her directly), shes one of the top students across all universities in my country

[deft maple]

Uhh idk if you can shadow students but do you have connections to psychologists or therapists?

[glacial solar]

she says if you get high grades companies n hospitals will reach out to me

[glacial solar]

unfortunately not

[deft maple]

Then start calling local clinics for job shadowing opportunities

Or start cold-emailing professors and ask if you can participate in research

You probably can get a student to vouch for you

[glacial solar]

i see

[deft maple]

Do you need a cold email template?

[glacial solar]

and then i submit my participation proof when i apply to colleges right?

[glacial solar]

that would be great

[deft maple]

Here let’s move to DMs it will be easier

[glacial solar]

alrightt

Hi, Would you guys recommend a DE or AP CSA?

[lone lion]

ap

[deft maple]

There’s pros and cons for each

Are you planning to go out of state?

[jagged kernel]

Nope

[deft maple]

Is your schedule flexible?

[jagged kernel]

Im having 5 classes in school with ONE decision period then senior priv

[deft maple]

DE is usually one semester and AP is usually two semesters

[jagged kernel]

Yeah, ill take two DE classes

one each semester

[deft maple]

In some states DE costs money btw

[jagged kernel]

Not for me, its fre

[deft maple]

Also I would check if the AP course or DE course transfers to your desired college

[jagged kernel]

AP CSA does the same as AP CSP

for me

which ive already taken

[deft maple]

Your DE will probably transfer to most colleges in your state but I would double check just in case

[solemn hamlet]

How can u reply to that with a straight face 💀💀

[lone lion]

shut

[plain hemlock]

Should i take leadership?

Or business?

[golden bronze]

sure

[vast sky]

I mean it might not be good for their major ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[solemn hamlet]

No that's not it 😭
I was clearly joking when I asked for MiT when it was about Columbia 😭

[empty pagoda]

the “clearly” is crazy

[opaque shell]

hey guys what do you think is the best pre med major for someone who wants to become an anesthesiologist

[violet walrus]

Where can I learn to code?

[golden bronze]

what language u wanna learn

[golden bronze]

emory id best i think

i dont know a lot about med but thats one of the best for med in general

[opaque shell]

wat is dat lol

[golden bronze]

the college

☠️

or washington uni

minnesota, oregon

top 3 i thjnk

and theres always harvard so yeah

[opaque shell]

im asking for the major

not the school

[deft maple]

Just take courses that a required for med school

Some people I know major in biology, microbiology, and biochemistry

[opaque shell]

yh fs but im looking for something that is relatively easy to acheive a decent gpa in

[deft maple]

But you can have any major as long as you take courses required for med school

[opaque shell]

yeah what abt mcat tho

[deft maple]

I guy I know is majoring in biochemistry and he’s gonna take the mcat

And another majoring in micro biology

[opaque shell]

oh

sure then

thanks

[deft maple]

The guy I know said biochemistry is more like chemistry than biology

So beware of that if you don’t like chemistry

[hollow shard]

What are the easiest AP Exams to self study?

cuz I feel like class is very beneficial to the understanding of concepts

so

[uncut jacinth]

AP comp sci principles is super easy in general

[onyx sandal]

Should I do ap bio and acc physics at the same time

[violet dagger]

prob not, unless if u have rly good time management

[hollow shard]

true, but I am unlikely to go into that field

I might take it as a GPA boost though

[uncut jacinth]

Sure, comp sci will definitely help you in todays world no matter what you do career wise

[hollow shard]

true true

thanks

My high school’s honors freshman english teacher is really strict, and I will have her next year, and my brother said that 95% of the class passes with a C, while the normal english teacher gives out A’s. Do you think I should try honors english? My dream college is Yale

[dusky seal]

Current course selections: AP Calc AB, DE ISR, AP Lang (i want to take but i still have to talk to my counselor if i can take it instead of honors), civil eng + arch PLTW, discrete math semester, APUSH, and DE latin .... am i going to die my junior year?

sophmore year i kinda fell of my straight a student role and i still have a's but my gpa went from 4.29 to a 4.01 because i had b's for some quarters 😭

only like one or two

[grim wind]

Look at the outstanding students who took honors English: did they do well? If they did, that means it’s most likely a student issue.

[abstract gulch]

My brother said the highest achieving student got an 83(B)

[grim wind]

Damn

I think the teacher just sucks then

[abstract gulch]

So I don’t think it’s the student issue

[abstract gulch]

So do u think it’s worth going for hon eng?

[grim wind]

I personally think if not taking honors English will prevent you from taking more advanced classes later on, then you should still take it

[abstract gulch]

hmm ok

I’ll consider it since i’m not sure if i’m taking ap lang/lit

[proven leaf]

Ap gov

This years exam was super easy and I didn’t even take the class

[hollow shard]

Huh! Interesting, I thought that class was hardcore no?

[proven leaf]

Idk how the actual class is like. I took an alternative government course and it helped but even without it the mcqs were really easy

At most all I did was review required docs and cases and watched heimler videos for the topics I didn’t know

Oh yeah and khan academy
