course-selection

[proven leaf]

A lot of people agree ap gov exam was easy this year tho, just not as much on frqs

[lone lion]

ok

[snow charm]

guys i’m doing 7 APS next year - AP CSA, APCSP, APUSH, AP LANG, AP French, AP Physics, and AP Calc

any tips?

[foggy jolt]

woah thats a lot

ap lang and csp are pretty easy in my opinion

cus i took them this year

but csa along with physics and apush might be a bit rigorous

but if your passionate abt it then u can def do it

calc ab or bc?

[deft maple]

Why APCSA and APCSP at the same time?

Also what kind of physics are you taking?

And what is your major?

[snow charm]

physics 1

[snow charm]

comp sci

[snow charm]

because i’m majoring in CS that’s why

[deft maple]

You need physics 1 for comp sci?

[deft maple]

Yeah but CSP doesn’t really help though

[snow charm]

i’m taking it as an easy period

because i’m taking so many 😭

i need the gpa boost too

[deft maple]

What about physics 1

[snow charm]

physics 1 is required in my school

[deft maple]

I ain’t know you need it for comp sci

[snow charm]

yeah but it’s a core schedule so

[foggy jolt]

physics 1 is rly useful for comp sci

[snow charm]

it’s a core class in my school so u have to take it

[deft maple]

What kind of school requires students to take APs

[foggy jolt]

and then take phys c

[snow charm]

schools in north texss where competition is at an all time high

[snow charm]

that i’m not abt to do thars gonna kill me

[deft maple]

Do you need physics 1 experience to take physics c?

[deft maple]

Ya’ll don’t got regular public schools 😭

[foggy jolt]

once u understand calc its pretty doable tbh

what calc r u taking btw

[snow charm]

bc

[foggy jolt]

oh cool

[snow charm]

yeah

[foggy jolt]

so youve completed ab

[snow charm]

nope

ap pre calc

this year

[foggy jolt]

i think youd be able to handle phys c then

oh

wait so ur skipping ab

[snow charm]

my school lets u choose between ab or bc

[snow charm]

yeah

[foggy jolt]

oh what

[snow charm]

u don’t have to do it in order

[foggy jolt]

oh how r u feeling abt that

[snow charm]

i think it’s manageable

[foggy jolt]

do u think u can do well in bc

[snow charm]

esp cuz i have khan academy

and all those

[snow charm]

yeah pre calc is light for me

[golden bronze]

what math should i take senior year

im taking ap precalc rn

next year about/bc

ab*

[foggy jolt]

so if you do good in bc and physics 1 then u should prob take physics c

mechanics and e&m

[snow charm]

okay

[snow charm]

alright

[foggy jolt]

its looks good on transcript

[snow charm]

yeah cus cs

[snow charm]

got it

[foggy jolt]

and makes u stand out as a cs major for college

[snow charm]

ohhhhh got u

thank you so much

[foggy jolt]

have u taken any other aps before

just wondering

[foggy jolt]

if you do good in ab then def take bc

calc bc just makes ur transcript shine

[golden bronze]

no like im taking both

finish ab in first sem

[foggy jolt]

for pretty much any stem major

[golden bronze]

and bc in the next

[foggy jolt]

oh thats cool

yeah do that

[golden bronze]

so finishing both aps in one

yeah what bout senior then

senior year*

[foggy jolt]

stats

[golden bronze]

taking next year along with ab bc

[foggy jolt]

or u can do dual enrollment at community college

like diff eqs, multivar calc, linear algebra

[golden bronze]

im taking ab bc ,stat, ap physics 1 and 4 duals

[golden bronze]

oh ok

bet

[rare hill]

im gonna be taking 8 or 9 ap courses going into junior year (im not sure yet) and some other ap tests alongside that (self-studed), my goal was to genuinely take every ap class offered (which is like 40 now or something), would college admission officers care whether or not i take every ap class, like is there a difference between 39 aps and 40 aps (cause to my knowledge i would be the first to do so)

also i didnt mean to soujnd like big ego caus i kinda soujnd like that now that i read it, i was genuinely asking

[cobalt trench]

take as much ap as you can

if you are able to handle the workload

[cobalt trench]

just a reminder that officers love an individual who are very interested in a certain field so taking prior knowledge courses of your major will be adequate and not just random but overall taking anything at this point will help your acceptance

[rare hill]

i heard that, but besides ap chem bio calc and physics or wtv else, wouldnt that be the max

so im doing the max rigor for the subjects related to premed (which is what i wanna do)

and im taking hte max rigor for subjects even unrelated

[rare hill]

to wtv i major in

[elfin hill]

So I want to go into pre law
I’m not sure which of these electives should I take

• Business applications(semester)
• finance and investing(semester)
• Business Law and Ethics(semester)

I have to pick 2 I’m not sure which one to do

[solemn hamlet]

No, and self studying won't even 'count', not that there's much point to a wgpa above a 4.7

Don't do that many APs, especially self studied, if it's gonna take away from your ECs or even gonna be stressful, mental health is important, trust me.

It's not just about filling the box of taking 40 APs

[solemn hamlet]

Ask around for which ones are taught better or are just easier, or just look at the course material a bit or choose on instinct, it's really kinda upto you

[rare hill]

would a 3.8 uw and a 4.6 w look better than a 3.9 uw and 4.4 w?

[solemn hamlet]

The prior

AOs look at wgpa first and foremost, they do look at uw and coursework but that's mostly in case of red flags (most of the things besides the important ones, though those can vary between colleges and AOs, are like this)

[rare hill]

i was thinking that 3.8 plus is kinda the range where you dont get admitted because of an outstanding gpa but you also dont get rejected because of a subpar gpa

[solemn hamlet]

No

You never get admitted because of an outstanding GPA.

[rare hill]

wel it helps if ur ecs or standard test scores r weaker

no?

[solemn hamlet]

Wdym 😭

That's not how hollistic Admissions work

[rare hill]

im genuinely asking caus i barely know anyt abt

college admissions

[solemn hamlet]

They expect, from a median admittee, a standard level of ECs, grades and essays, doing bad on one can't be compensated by doing on the median level in smth else

There's no compensation involved anyway

A 1600 won't compensate for a 4.3 wgpa, an amazing essay won't 'compensate' for medicore ECs, you don't need it to compensate for anything, you can still get in with a 'below median' application but it's not about compensation

[rare hill]

is 4.3 wgpa

below avg

like say for a t25

[rocky grove]

each school does wgpa

differently*

highschool

[rare hill]

isnt it always 1.0 boost

ap

[rocky grove]

no

[rare hill]

or de

[rocky grove]

At my school, advanced classes are also on a 5.0 scale

Which means anyone can get a 5.0

[rare hill]

mm

thanks

[worldly flume]

our aps are also on a 5.0 scale but no one has ever reached 5.0 before, 4.6 at max n she took like 11 aps 😭

[rocky grove]

lol even I'm taking ~18 APs

I thought that was about average?

[worldly flume]

WHAT ure crazy 😭🙏

[rare hill]

18 aps is like crazy work

already

[worldly flume]

fs not

[rare hill]

no?

[worldly flume]

yea i was gonna say

[rare hill]

like above 12 is crazy

[rocky grove]

I made a huge mistake freshman year, I only took 2 APs and I had the opportunity to take maybe 4 if I pushed

[rare hill]

i took none

[rocky grove]

It's in the past now 😔

[worldly flume]

real

[rare hill]

when i finish school id take like

20

courses

but its so

[rocky grove]

I yearn to take as many AP classes as possible

[rare hill]

liike

weighted at the end

caus i did nothing freshman

yr

[worldly flume]

u should

[rocky grove]

I'm only taking 6 sophomore year, it's basically the max I can take

I know a few taking all 8 tho

[worldly flume]

ONLY

NAH

[rocky grove]

I don't even go to the competitive school in my city, there they're truly crazy

they come in at 6am for an extra class every day, so people take 10 APs a year

[worldly flume]

ur school is already competitive though compared to mine

[worldly flume]

..

[rocky grove]

ngl that program is a teensy bit crazy

6 APs seems like a good balance

[worldly flume]

not teensy, extremely 😭

[worldly flume]

we only have 5 classes

[rocky grove]

total?

[worldly flume]

yeah like throughout the yr we only have 5 periods

thats what i meant to say 😭🙏

[rocky grove]

huh interesting

[worldly flume]

hbu

[rocky grove]

usually 8 in the usa

8 here

[worldly flume]

damm

how long are they usually?

[rocky grove]

1.5 hours

[worldly flume]

what

[rocky grove]

4 classes a day

??

[worldly flume]

huh

im so confused

[rocky grove]

That's the national standard afaik

[worldly flume]

OO i get what u mean

dont aps take 2 semesters though

its year round for us

[rocky grove]

Yeah all of our courses are full year courses

[worldly flume]

how are u taking sm aps then

if u only have 4 classes a day 😭

[rocky grove]

A days and B days

[worldly flume]

OH

WTF

thats interesting

[rocky grove]

I thought all of the US was like that lol

[robust carbon]

Surpisingly not.

[worldly flume]

no def no

[rocky grove]

Interesting

[worthy goblet]

anyone knows Parsons School of Design

[forest crystal]

im trying to get like you😭

we can only take two and i can only take one

[rocky grove]

Oof

[forest crystal]

but i wanna take ap psychology online to make up for the one i cant take

[rocky grove]

Try to convince your conselors that's all I can say tbh

If you have a perfect gpa you can usually get some deals made

[forest crystal]

ohh bet

i got a 4.0 unweighted so i should be able to convince her

[rocky grove]

Yeah, try to take AP Seminar or an AP social studies

something like that

[forest crystal]

do you mind me asking which aps you're taking?

[rocky grove]

Sure, I'll just list all my courses for next year

AP Bio
AP World
AP CSA
AP Sem
AP Calc AB
AP Stats
Chemistry
French 4

[forest crystal]

calculus as a sophomore is crazy😭 i'm taking ap precalc next year

impressive classes tho ty

[rocky grove]

I'm taking Precalc over the summer because I need to get ahead in math to be a good applicant for aerospace

Unfortunately my school makes us do AB before BC but I'll try to skip ahead to BC early next year

[forest crystal]

oo we're in the same boat but im taking algebra 2 this summer

[rocky grove]

Nice

[forest crystal]

isnt it the same thing? but bc has a couple of more units

[rocky grove]

Essentially yeah

AB is a waste of time, I'll try my hardest to convince them

Then I can also say I was the only one in my entire grade (probably) to take BC as a sophomore 😎

[forest crystal]

good to know for my junior year i'll just skip to bc

[rocky grove]

If you can

[forest crystal]

yeah thats an awesome flex

[fringe barn]

AP CHEM (with calc based physics DE) vs AP physics 1

I was planning on doing AP Physics 1 but I realized that the credits don't do much, I also have more friends in AP chem, so I'm wondering if I should do AP chem with calc based physics DE which would be very difficult but would probably look better or if I should just do AP Physics 1 for the easy A

[worldly flume]

do the first option imo

although its gonna be hard its gonna look good on ur transcript n if u think u can do good, go for it

[fringe barn]

I have all 97 pluses rn but no APS (all honors though)

[worldly flume]

ive heard ap chem is hard but i think u can do it

its def a step up but u could always change ur schedule if u dont like it

[fringe barn]

Calc based DE should be pretty easy considering I already know a lot of the material USAPHO studying

All right, thank you!

[worldly flume]

yeah exactly you’ll thrive

[worldly flume]

anytime!

[coarse sigil]

ap bio or ap chem next year? (I have a 96 overall in bio so far (unweighted), and my math grade is 100 YTD average)

is chem usually taken as a sophmore?

[onyx sandal]

Chem is harder

[coarse sigil]

alr

[abstract gulch]

Ap bio and normal chem in 10th

[coarse sigil]

got it

[obsidian trench]

Could i self study for ap comp gov

[violet dagger]

not in my school lmao

[deft maple]

What do the numbers and dashes mean on the AP course ledger

[south cape]

These are my course selections for 10th grade:

AP Precalculus
Anatomy & Physiology
AP Chemistry
AP Physics 1
English 2 Adv
GT Humanities (AP World History)
Spanish 3 Adv
Academic Decathlon (class)

How much homework/studying per day do you guys think I will have? I know it varies per teacher, but give me a rough estimate. Also note that my classes are split in an A/B schedule with 4 on each day.

[south cape]

What math are you doing?

[hollow shard]

Wow, thats hardcore.
Ok so taking both AP Chem and Physics is going to be a lot of work. Depending on your school's AcDec class, it could be fun, or mentally damaging

AP precalc is easy, but make sure u study outside the class with outside-class resources

my teacher didn't teach a lot, and my 2nd semester was new topics, so I got a B :/
(I did study a LOT for the AP, so the AP + class final was VERY easy)

[coarse sigil]

Pre calc

[coarse sigil]

Ap physics and ap chem is borderline suicidal

[split kettle]

Should I take

A level maths, physics, chemistry

Or maths, fm, physics

[solemn hamlet]

Where do you wanna go to uni, and what fields do you wanna do

There's no objective way to choose

[split kettle]

Aerospace engineering

[solemn hamlet]

Isn't there specifically an engineering a level

[lusty thistle]

Hey guys! I’m struggling to decide what AP courses I’m going to take next year. I’m only going to be taking 2, and one of those is definitely APUSH, as I ended APWH with a 103 last year. I can’t decide on my other, but I’m leaning towards AP Lang. Any others I should consider?

[solemn hamlet]

What other courses are you taking? What APs are available at your school? What ru interested in?

[lusty thistle]

So, I actually don’t know what’s available. I’m switching schools. I’m going off what my friends in the area have told me, but I haven’t lived there since 5th grade

I really like history, and I’m okay at math and science

ELA is also something I’m good at

My old school only offered APWH to freshman

[solemn hamlet]

It's not ideal to choose APs without asking at least one person about the teacher, cus some teachers assign a lot of coursework or just teach it badly

It's probably best to wait to decide

[lusty thistle]

I appreciate it. I’m going to email the counselors and ask around!

[split kettle]

No

There is a level 3 course equivalent tho

I do engineering gcse

[dusk venture]

really? 14 year olds be taking that at my school

• ap chem + ap physics + they self study some ap courses too

i feel so dumb lmao

[lusty thistle]

those kids seem like they got it together, but there sacrificing so much for academics

Anytime spent learning in any way is time spent well

[dusk venture]

Hmmm

[lusty thistle]

I limit my AP courses because I want to have time to practice violin and run XC/track

Skills are so much more important than that extra 5 on some AP course

[dusk venture]

Oh yeah, that sounds like a great idea! Nice.

[lusty thistle]

7 AP’s and sports generally aren’t in the same scentence

[lusty thistle]

😂 I saw that edit

[dusk venture]

LOL

[lusty thistle]

I don’t want to hold you back. Absolutely go for it if you want

[dusk venture]

but if it works out the only hard aps i will take is ap calc bc, ap chem, and ap physics the other ones people say are 'Easy"

idk

also i need to be valedictorian bro

[lusty thistle]

Hey, that sounds like a good idea

[dusk venture]

I need to take ap courses for the gpa boost lmao

[lusty thistle]

I’m also going for valedictorian

[dusk venture]

nice gl

[lusty thistle]

You too!

[dusk venture]

my current valedictorian has an average of 100 in classes 💀

that's why i need to spam ap courses

[lusty thistle]

HAHAHA

[dusk venture]

my gpa is .08 behind him currently

xD

[lusty thistle]

I’m going from a top 500 school in the nation to one that’s much less competitive

[dusk venture]

at my school they take off .1 for each number less than 100

[dusk venture]

:O LMAO my school is top 2500 or something 🥲

[lusty thistle]

NO SHOT

[dusk venture]

I live in small city

[lusty thistle]

That might work in your favor

[golden bough]

Should I take computer science for college my entire family is forcing me to to take it dispite the fact I don't wanna take it and seeing chat gpt pretty much replace alot of things in the it sector?

[deft maple]

Don’t take it if you don’t want to take it

If you force your self to do something that you don’t enjoy it’s not gonna last

[lunar summit]

I’m going to be a sophomore next year and I’m taking 5 APs is that too much? I haven’t done an ap before

[deft maple]

It’s a little unrealistic

Because you have to manage extracurriculars on top of that

Btw, what APs are you taking?

[rare hill]

i took 5 ap classes 6 ap tests this sophomore yr

it snot that bad

but also yea depends on which ons

i took the easier ones

ap precalc, ap csp, ap micro/macro, ap world history, ap spanish

[lunar summit]

Ap physics 1 , Ap science research, Ap euro, Ap comp sci, Ap pre calc

[rare hill]

wth is ap science research

[lunar summit]

It’s a pre med class for studying micro biology and writing research papers

[rare hill]

thats not

an ap class

is it de or smt

[rare hill]

o

ap seminar

[lunar summit]

I don’t know what that means

[rare hill]

idk how hard it is

also which ap cs

ap precalc is easy, but dont stop trying for later units bc the first unit is

so

easy

its easier than the end of alg2

unit 3 gets a little harder

[lunar summit]

Thanks

[rare hill]

the others i cant speak on unless its ap csp, but if it is then, its as easy as everyone says it is

[deft maple]

AP classroom

[fringe trench]

the guy behind me is like .02 lol

for now.

the gpa hasnt updated yet I think

[valid talon]

youll be fine

comp sci is relatively light, research is ridiculously light, euro

is also easy

and pre calc is barely an ap

just study up for phys

[nova sleet]

yall, how hard is ap spanish lang, am i cooked for next yr

[coarse sigil]

weighted?

[lone lion]

uhmm actually 🤓

depends on teacher and level that they are at

[lone lion]

depends on how confident u feel with spanish, the teacher

idk why yall ask here most ppl r gonna say its easy 😭

[dusk venture]

No I’m just talking about his percent grade in class

[coarse sigil]

yeah ik, is his percentage weighted or unweighted

[nova sleet]

i can write but i cant listen 😭

[lone lion]

okay so itll be tough

cause any lang class req u to speak/write/listen etc

[nova sleet]

gotta lock in then, trust

[lone lion]

type shit

[dusk venture]

Sorry I don’t understand your question it’s our percent grade in class out of 100

[coarse sigil]

but isnt honors like times 1.1 or something

[dusk venture]

I’m just talking about the grade I guess it’s unweighted then

[craggy ruin]

is anyone here taking (or has taken) HL chem, bio and psychology for ib? im in grade 11 next AY and im hoping to do those subjects. id appreciate advice!

[south cape]

Guys, being valedictorian actually isn’t that important. Most colleges don’t take rank into account and convert your GPA to a 4.0 scale. If you don’t want to hear it from me, my cousin who went to UPenn Wharton said the same thing (best business school in the nation). Just focus on keeping a decent GPA and extracurriculars along with getting experience in your field.

[lusty thistle]

Of course I’m still going to have a balanced life. I’m not going to take 1 krillion AP’s a year. Valedictorian is just a goal to keep me on track. I don’t really care if I actually get it

However, I do agree with what you say, there are certainly more important things than valedictorian

[pearl mesa]

any thoughts on AP research? just finished AP Seminar this year

[wet vortex]

Is a physics major good for job markets?

[bronze canopy]

Next year I’m going to be taking AP Chem, but I’m worried that the new teacher isn’t going to be that good so I want to be a little prepared and take an AP Chem course over the summer. Any online course suggestions?

[turbid ivy]

jo

[robust carbon]

Bro what

[placid nexus]

Right now I’m going to community college then I going to study at Upen Wharton for business because I really want to Get in the business field

[valid talon]

planning to transfer?

keep in mind that wharton accepts a very small number of transfers

[solemn hamlet]

You do not need a degree to start a business

And if you wanna go into admin, master's matters way more, doesnt it

[glacial turtle]

In my sophomore year, should I take AP Comp Sci A? I was able to snag a spot in AP Comp Sci principles through a special request in my freshman year, but I am contemplating whether I should take AP Comp Sci A. I want to become the valedictorian, so the extra AP might help, but I have some junior friends who say that the coursework is rigorous.

I am taking 4 APs aside from it next year already

[hollow shard]

https://apresources.notion.site/AP-Chemistry-0956286486e940309d242c9100f40e44
I got a list of resources

[narrow tinsel]

Hello, I'm currently a freshman and ik its a long way until I apply for uni but I'm currently debating on law or biomedical. I do know biomedical is undergrad and I can apply to law even though I have an undergrad in biomed. But I can't decide for hs if I want to put my ap classes more in language or science and math.

[median sail]

In your guys's opinion, would it be better if I take 6 dual-enrollement courses with 4 AP's or 9 AP's with one Dual Enrollment course? I am hoping for top UC's and Ivies(emphasis on hope)

[abstract gulch]

In one year?

[median sail]

No across all 4 years

[abstract gulch]

Oh lol

Erm

It depends

But most

Thinks that dual>aps

[median sail]

alr thanks!

[abstract gulch]

Np

[worldly flume]

if ivies are important to you then aps definitely though

[median sail]

ok

[buoyant ravine]

im thinking about dual enrollment next year

is taking 3 too much

3 dual enroll and 3 aps too much

i took 5 aps this year so compared to that

and with college apps and my competitions too

[molten trench]

I'm taking like 6 aps next year smh

i should lowkey calm down but like i need a 5 on certain exams

[sullen hearth]

dual is better

U can take dual and a few aps, most of them aren’t even that hard

idk about dual though

[valid talon]

what do you like more? I'm a pre-law and I've always leaned more towards subjects like english and history rather than the hard sciences

[buoyant ravine]

6 dual enrollments insane bruh

thats like full time

[valid talon]

goddamn

you're gonna have no time at all

I took 7 APs junior year and that shit took a year off my life

[deft maple]

Are you interested in computer science?

[foggy jolt]

bro literally same

i took 5

and it was suicide

i dont what i was thinking just randomly signing up for 5 aps like that

and i couldnt drop out in the middle either and it was trauma pulling through the entire year

exam season in may was hell

thank god its finally over with

im feeling nauseous just by thinking of it

[worldly flume]

i would lean into more science n math

[deft maple]

Taking an AP language class is still helpful since it’s a gen ed at most colleges

Wait are you talking about AP lang? Cuz idk about foreign language ones

[foggy jolt]

and even with all that hard work im still not gonna get into my dream college cus my school is highly competitive its actually so sad

[deft maple]

Damn, no extracurriculars to compensate?

[foggy jolt]

i mean idk

i do speech and debate

and some volunteering

but idk if thatll be enough

[deft maple]

Are you aiming for Ivy League?

[foggy jolt]

kids at my school are casually landing internships and getting into summer cosmos program, rsi, and isef and stuff

[foggy jolt]

nah ucsd

[deft maple]

Is that a prestigious school

[foggy jolt]

not prestigious

but its really good

great education, research programs, beautiful campus, close to home

i rly wanna get in

[deft maple]

Unless your really good at speech and debate this extracurriculars are lacking

[foggy jolt]

also its like the top school for my major

[deft maple]

It’s not too late to sign up for a sport ig

[foggy jolt]

i qualified for states

[deft maple]

Your course rigor is definitely impressive though

Again idk how hard ucsd is since I never heard of the school

[foggy jolt]

im not interested in sports 😭 and also even if i did a sport colleges dont rly care abt it unless u were rly good at it like on varsity level

[foggy jolt]

wait youve never heard of it

where u at

[deft maple]

Yeah but it’s healthy for you

[foggy jolt]

oh

[deft maple]

South Carolina

[foggy jolt]

yea i try to workout like hit the gym often

[deft maple]

I think the at counts as an extracurricular

Since it’s your hobby

[foggy jolt]

nah but just mentioning that you worked out or played a sport as an actitvity wont do much to your application

they wont care abt it

[deft maple]

Better than nothing 💀

You only got speech and debate 😭

[foggy jolt]

it has to be smth you made an impact in

i like spending time with my grandparents a lot

and helping them out

my great grandma

shes rly old

[deft maple]

Potential essay topic right there

[foggy jolt]

shes like 95 i think

[deft maple]

You could write about family values and stuff and how you apply it in everyday life for your college essay

[foggy jolt]

and shes like in bed all the time right so i help take care of her, feed her, talk to her and like spend time with her bc she gets depressed and sick a lot

[deft maple]

Or sumn along those lines

[foggy jolt]

i think that counts as an activity right

[deft maple]

Idk

But it’s definitely a good essay topic

Colleges will definitely see you put that hard work in

[foggy jolt]

also i like working with children i volunteer at the library and i lead like the storytime and crafts activites for little kids

[deft maple]

That’s an extracurricular right there

It’s good one too since your showing impact throughout your community

You can also get letters of recommendation from that library

[foggy jolt]

and then im passionate abt mental health and spreading awareness and im planning on leading a mental health awareness club at my school where i provide a safe space for people to vent out about any struggles they are going through, have group discussion, coloring therapy, mindfulness/meditation and self care activities etc... this one is rly meaningful to me bc i personally struggled a lot growing up with social anxiety and making friends and putting myself out there and fitting in, at times when i was desperate all i wanted was a place for me to share out my feelings and so i wanted to create that space and potentially help others that are struggling

[foggy jolt]

oh UC schools dont require letter of recs so we good 😆

like they dont take letter of recs

[deft maple]

I don’t even know what a UC is

[foggy jolt]

the UC colleges

UCLA

Berkeley

have u heard of them

[deft maple]

Since your interested in that you could get internships and job shadowing opportunities at local mental health clinics

Or you could get a part time job as a suicide hotline worker

[foggy jolt]

uh idk of any mental health clinincs

😭

[deft maple]

LinkedIn

Wait no

Is that how that works idk

[foggy jolt]

there is a local hospital that many ppl volunteer at

[deft maple]

Google it

[foggy jolt]

but like thats super common

like half the school does it

[deft maple]

Yeah but that’s like physical health

[foggy jolt]

so it wont be anything unique

[deft maple]

Bro you have 2/10 extracurriculars rn

You need 8 more

Anything helps

[foggy jolt]

theres not a set number of ecs that are required right

[deft maple]

Common app has 10

[foggy jolt]

also quality over quantity is important

[deft maple]

You don’t have to get do all 10 but it’s better if you do

[deft maple]

Yeah

[foggy jolt]

im not using common app

the uc system doesnt use it

[deft maple]

What is UC?

[foggy jolt]

University of California

bro have u heard of ucla

[deft maple]

Yeah

I though every college uses common app 😭

[foggy jolt]

yeah those are ucs, UCLA, Berkeley, UCSD

i rlyy wanna get into UC San Diego

[foggy jolt]

lol

[deft maple]

Wait so what do colleges in California use?

[sullen hearth]

damn…

[foggy jolt]

the uc system uses this application for all 8 campuses which gives u space to fill out 20 ecs, there are 4 personal insight questions which you have to answer you choose 4 prompts out of 8 (basically the essays), and then you jsut fill out academic history, test scores, etc

[deft maple]

That’s even worse you have 2/20 extracurriculars 😭

[foggy jolt]

bro u dont have to fill out all 20

most people actually dont

[deft maple]

But 2 tho 😭

[foggy jolt]

they say its better to have 1 or 2 ecs that your rly good at and super passionate about instead of a bunch

the ucs count basically anything as an extracurricular

like if you took care of ur younger siblings at home

that counts

[sullen hearth]

bro does it rlly matter doing 20 that you don’t care about

[deft maple]

Did you place at state for speech and debate

[foggy jolt]

no

but ive made finals at all the local tournaments

and also i lead the team as well

i help them come up with ideas for topics and mentor and edit speeches and stuff

[deft maple]

You should put gym as extracurricular tho fr

Show off your muscles to the college interviewer

[foggy jolt]

but thats so basic

i dont rly care abt it

i just do it for exercise

im not trynna be like a hardcore champion working out building muscles or anything

[deft maple]

But like what’s better 2 ecs ur good at or 2 ecs ur good at and 2 ecs that are meh

[foggy jolt]

i have mental health club, grandparents, tutoring, mentoring young kids at library, speech and debate, coaching a science olympiad event, calligraphy club

[deft maple]

W

So you extracurriculars aren’t that bad then

You made it sound like you had 2 💀

So you got good course rigor and extracurriculars

I think you’ll make into UC

[foggy jolt]

i rly hope so bro

[weary atlas]

uc has 20 slots

😭

[valid talon]

these are all great

especially the calligraphy and mental health clubs, don't think I've ever seen those before

[weary atlas]

^ i agree

[weary atlas]

you got this dwdw

[undone spade]

question

i have an oppurtunity to take AP Computer Science Principles in ninth

but i would have to learn over the summer

should i use part of my summer for prep? or just take foundations and move on

[thick dew]

I learned ap csp in 1 day

gonna get 5

[robust carbon]

Bro what

[thick dew]

bro its common sense

[undone spade]

so i should go for it and get a free A?

[robust carbon]

1 day though.

[robust carbon]

Is that your only AP?

[thick dew]

at that day I solved a practice test

[thick dew]

getting 5 is not easy but passing it is piece of cake

because boundaries are so high

[undone spade]

😀

nice to know

should i take ap us history?

[thick dew]

are you aiming for 5 or just 3+

[robust carbon]

APUSH and APCSP?

[undone spade]

im aiming to get as many aps as i can under my belt

[undone spade]

yea its a little reckless

[thick dew]

passing ap exams are so easy

getting 5 is challenging

[undone spade]

actually i just looked at the course outline and requirements

im not taking apush

[robust carbon]

[undone spade]

i qualify but its a lot of work

reading and writing heavy

and yes apcsp might be my only ap

[lone lion]

womp

[undone spade]

bruh what

also should i prepare to take the psats?

[full tinsel]

I took those two this year

It wasn't that bad

[forest crystal]

with a 4+? or 3+

[nova sleet]

5+, trust 😭

[past hatch]

Not the psat, prepare for the SAT

[valid talon]

unless they're going for national merit

[past hatch]

National merit is difficult imo

My friend got a 1400 on the psat but unfortunately wasn’t high enough for the merit

[stuck rapids]

[queen hound]

Just wondering, is this a good schedule for Junior year?

[robust carbon]

That's a lot of AP's....

You'll have to balance that with the college search just so you know.

And ECS.

I would probably drop one or two.

[queen hound]

I'll probably drop AP CSA since I already took AP CSP

Also I am currently disputing on AP Chem or Physics

[solemn hamlet]

What's ur intended major?

[full tinsel]

If I'm going into Astrophysics is AP Chem worth driving 5 mins down to another school to take for a semester?

Along with AP Physics I and the AP Physics Cs

[queen hound]

Either Chemistry, Spanish, or Journalism.

[solemn hamlet]

Huh?

[queen hound]

Undecided but between those 3 majors

Only 1, not all 3

[solemn hamlet]

No but that's crazy specific 😭

Like how do you like those three and only those three if you're undecided 😭

[forest crystal]

yeah i think it is

[weary atlas]

if it's possible sure whynot

[cinder gorge]

Um guys so the college I’m planning to go to is uh, and in the required courses it states that I need ENGL 1301 and 1302. When I’m checking the ap credit policies it says that if I get a 4 on ap lang I can get credit for those 2 courses. But a score of 5 on ap lang translates to credit in ENGL 1303 and 1304. I was wondering if I would be able to get credit for 1301 and 1302 even though I somehow manage to get a 5

[sullen hearth]

whats uh

[full tinsel]

Is doing DE multivari calc or linear algebra in my senior my worthwhile than doing an AP not related to my major? Major is astrophysics

[coarse sigil]

University of Hawaii????

[rotund stag]

Is this a good schedule for sophomore yr

[deft maple]

Send an email

[deft maple]

What’s your intended major?

[deft maple]

Do DE

[deft maple]

I would say so, just make sure you find a side hustle for gas money. You could mow people’s lawns and stuff. Doesn’t necessarily have to be an official job.

[deft maple]

Chem

[rotund stag]

Debating between physics cs or aerospace

[deft maple]

Why do you need csp and stats?

Or physics 1

And is world a gen ed?

And why do you need pre calc?

For the majority of people for your major for sophomore year is, any APs that go towards gen eds. Then junior and senior year is when you start putting APs that benefit toward your major

[rotund stag]

Idk it just helps me get ahead because the year after I plan to take things like bc calc and physics c

Wdym by gen ed class

I don’t see the problem w taking things related to my major

CSP is useful because it is part of the cs pathway at my school and cs is a big part of physics and engineering

And stats is also pretty big in physics

Correct me if I’m wrong this was just what I thought

[full tinsel]

Ummmm

Should I be concerned that my local college's DE Precalc course consists of Algebra II stuff and trig?

Or is that normal and I shouldn't be freaking at 11:14 PM when I should be sleeping?

[coarse sigil]

lmao

[full tinsel]

So?

Is this concerning?

Should I put my tinfoil hat on and prepare to be destroyed by AP Calc AB come next school year?

[coarse sigil]

nu uh

[full tinsel]

Alr

[coarse sigil]

consits of... doesnt account for all

my spelling oml

[full tinsel]

The thing that ticks me off is that we arent learning abt parameters and matrices and vectors

[coarse sigil]

email the college

ask for clarification

best choice

[full tinsel]

Well I looked over the syllabus

2 units on trig concepts

I think one is on the unit circle and solving trig equations and the other is on graph trig functions

Here is the course content per day according to syllabus

[rotund stag]

Anyone?

[jagged pewter]

save ap physics or ap stats for next year

[rotund stag]

Ya I was just thinking over it I might take out stat

But is everything else good

Considering what I want to major in?

[quasi vector]

would it look better on an application to be in jazz band two years or basketball team manager three years?

[sullen hearth]

what grade are u in

Just do whichever you like better, Manager is better

[solemn hamlet]

Participating in clubs or any other in school activity is a very low impact EC.
Being in a leadership position is a way to make it mid impact, so being a team manager would be objectively more impactful

[forest crystal]

is the apush exam really hard? and trying to balance it with a math exam

im not worried about the class being hard its just the exams

[sand garden]

Well. I had the same ideas. I want to double major in music and computer science, so I went ahead and took AP calculus and CSP. But think about it. AP classes mimic college course rigor, they're not identical. The Calculus One class at your college is likely a tad different from your AP Calc class. Do you really want to hop in to Calc 2 in college while missing some of the things from that college's Calc one class? I know the actual courses might not line up with your situation, but you get the concept. Same with CSP. You likely took a class that would count for the intro or base class in college. But the next class in the sequence will be tailored to the people who took the course at the college, not the AP class. You can still take the classes, I took Stats and Calc and CSP this year, and I'm likely going to have to take them again in college. But they'll be an absolute breeze, plus the APs look good for course rigor.

[sand garden]

You have a good schedule, I agree on the Stats thing. I took stats senior year and breezed through it. Me and my friend literally played video games the entire year, fairly confident in a 5 on the exam. waiting to take stats until after precalc makes it a joke of a class (which is nice to have in junior/senior year)

[sand garden]

Nah, from what I remember it was a tad difficult but not too bad. I took it junior year, I have a good memory and a decent mind for history, walked in there with basically zero studying and got a 5. Not something to be worried about (maybe study a lil more than I did tho)

[sand garden]

Which math exam?

[forest crystal]

nice, thanks!

[forest crystal]

ap precalculus, i heard it was easy too

[sand garden]

That didn't exist when I took precalc, I took it honors and yeah it was pretty easy. Not sure how AP is different, but cna't imagine it would be too much harder

[tranquil oyster]

What classes should i take junior year? I’m a freshman rn but here are the classes i plan to take/have taken: 8th grade:
math 1
world history
spanish 1

9th:
math 2 honors
english 1 honors
biology honors
AP government and politics
spanish 2
pe
health science careers honors
sports marketing 1 honors

10th:
math 3 honors
english 2 honors
AP seminar
chemistry honors
spanish 3 honors
AP art history
AP computer science principles
sports marketing 2 honors

[forest crystal]

whats math 3

and do you know what you might want to major in?

[solemn hamlet]

Probably some sort of integrated maths

[solemn hamlet]

What are you thinking between, what's offered at your school, what's your intended major, what type of University do u wanna go to

[safe lagoon]

Hey, I'm a freshman looking to take two dual enrollment classes next fall but I can't decide between
General Psychology or a class learning to write a short story that are offered at one university
And
Intro to Ethics or Critical thinking offered at another university
Does anyone have any advice? They all seem fun but I want to make the right decision.

[south cape]

Depends on your major. TBH, I would probably take Psychology.

[inner summit]

I need help. I’m starting secondary soon and i have no clue what to pick - but i can say i like math

[rancid merlin]

It depends on your major

Gen Psych is the only one I've taken. It's so easy most people could pass that class with their eyes closed

[safe lagoon]

I see

Psychology is offered for the spring as well

I'm more conflicted on taking Critical thinking versus Intro to Ethics

[deft maple]

Join a bunch of clubs and find what interest you the most

For example if you like deca or fbla, you might want to major in business and take business related classes.

Or if you like hosa, than you’ll probably want major in one of the pre-med majors and take classes like health, bio, or chem

Since you like math, I would look into extracurriculars related engineering, physics, or finance

But explore stuff outside of math too

[deft maple]

I believe it’s the hardest history class

[sacred goblet]

is this a good schedule for sophmore year:
classes already taken from ms/9th: algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, biology, chemistry, english 1, english 2, spanish 1, spanish 2, pe
classes im thinking for sophomore yr: pre calc, spanish 3, marine science, ap psych, ap csp, ap lang

[sullen geode]

Guys anywhere i can take precalc over the summer online and get credit? My school isnt helping here

[rancid merlin]

use your state online school

example florida has flvs

[random bear]

chat is this a good schedule (im intending to major in the business section of things like or like accounting or finance or economics and the (ap)ush means im still debating on apush or not)

[real hatch]

I’d do apush if I were u

[random bear]

is there any benefits to apush tho

cus the class at my school is really hard and apush itself is also hard

[valid talon]

the fact that it's hard is a benefit

it shows that you have the capacity to take one of the hardest and most notorious APs

[random bear]

alr

[undone spade]

good morning 😎

[robust carbon]

Morning?

[glad oriole]

can you just not take ss in ur first year in your school

[solemn hamlet]

If it's hard at your school, AOs won't know that, so it's probably not worth it

You do need to take us history but considering extracurriculars, it might be more valuable to just focus more time on ECs and take other APs with less course load

[vast sky]

The college wont know if its hard or not so i dont think its worth it

[solemn hamlet]

When it comes to WGPA (and only wgpa), No. of APs > the apparent difficulty of any one, AOs don't know about how APs were at your school when you took them

For ECs it's the opposite, but that's why the better ECs are ones that AOs know the difficulty of/ are easy to describe the difficulty of

[vast sky]

Hey btw do you still want volunteers for your non-profit?

[solemn hamlet]

Oh yeah I saw your DM mb I forgot to respond, I'll do that now

[vast sky]

Its ok thx : )

[bold peak]

@proven elbow

I’m confused what do I do here?

[proven elbow]

Ask ur question here again

[bold peak]

Oh ok

I wonder if there is a chat that can show me a list to get for next year and for college:3!

[hollow furnace]

You could have micro and macro as AP’s, and maybe even statistics (if you can), but overall, that looks really good!

[random bear]

i alr have stats

[coarse sigil]

but are they good stats

[ornate nest]

guys I am not sure if engineering will be replaced by AI

what yall think?

[solemn hamlet]

AP stats is being talked about here 🤔

So no, not good stats

[coarse sigil]

Ooooh

[hybrid mauve]

Is astronomy a good major given that I am good at science and pretty interested in that but Im also quite interested in playing soccer/football and I dont want to let that die out also I kinda also want to make money and have a good work life balance not be having white hairs at 30. I live in india I also kinda wanna study abroad and settle cuz of personal reasons

[hybrid mauve]

JOJO REF?!?!

@cinder gorge

[cinder gorge]

Honestly, no way you can keep into soccer in India unless you go to a real real good college that actually has club system

Astronomy can be great if you really like it that much

[hybrid mauve]

That is one of thr reasons why I don't want to be in this shirry country 😭

I want to study abroad wbt

BRO SAY SMTH 😭

@cinder gorge

[cinder gorge]

Sat

The easiest way

Is to give sat and move out

[ornate nest]

guya I need help choosing my major

[hybrid mauve]

Where tho

Im thinking of germany n stuff

Will i be able to handle both my astronomy and football interest there

[cinder gorge]

Sat is for usa and canada I guess

[hybrid mauve]

Nah 💀🤚

[ornate nest]

guys if I wanna be a cyclist should I study in europe or usa?

[hybrid mauve]

...

[cinder gorge]

Just study wherever you want and pick a sports club

[ornate nest]

but Im not sure about the major

[cinder gorge]

Idk bout Germany bro, look up some college entrance exams

[cinder gorge]

Physical education

[hybrid mauve]

Im scared tho like both astronomy and football go together 😭

[ornate nest]

nah

[hybrid mauve]

Can they both go together

[hybrid mauve]

CS

C

[cinder gorge]

CS is also great

[ornate nest]

but what about AI Azlat?

[hybrid mauve]

Thatz good too

[cinder gorge]

Good too

[ornate nest]

no I mean if I go with CP in the near future AI could take away my job

[hybrid mauve]

Cp?

What

That sounds wrong my guy

[ornate nest]

sorry CS

[hybrid mauve]

Dotn say cp again bro 😭

It doesnt mean good things 😭

[ornate nest]

I meant computer programming sorry

[hybrid mauve]

K its ok

Ai is also good and stuff

[cinder gorge]

Devin is already here

[hybrid mauve]

Also abt to grow

[hybrid mauve]

BROTHER ANSWER ME

[cinder gorge]

Ai engineering is the only good option in IT branch

[hybrid mauve]

CAN FOOTBALL AND ASTRONOMY GO TOGETHER TELL ME 😭😭😭😭😭

[ornate nest]

exactly

[hybrid mauve]

PLEASE

[ornate nest]

come down yes they can

[cinder gorge]

I have no idea on that

[hybrid mauve]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[ornate nest]

bro just get into the best college you can and play soccer

its not hard

[hybrid mauve]

Yea but ppl say astronomy is hard n stuff

[cinder gorge]

That's what I told him

[hybrid mauve]

Like its gonna eat all ur extracurricular interests

Type shi

[ornate nest]

you are overreacting

[cinder gorge]

Nothing is hard

[ornate nest]

MED is certainly harder to balance

[cinder gorge]

Tru tho

[hybrid mauve]

I HOPE 😭😭

I REALLY HOPE 😭🤚

[cinder gorge]

Enter JEE

[ornate nest]

lol

[hybrid mauve]

Nah that thing is worse 😰

[ornate nest]

guys but really if I want to make money what major should I go with

[cinder gorge]

That's where I'm headed

Still I'm chill

[hybrid mauve]

Same thats where every india has to go fr

[ornate nest]

JEE is tough

[hybrid mauve]

Very

Tough is an understatement

Esp adv

[cinder gorge]

Sat is always an option but my mom is telling me to just try once so ya

[ornate nest]

bro sat is easy for yu

[cinder gorge]

Tough is not the correct word, it's just hard

[cinder gorge]

Hella ez

[ornate nest]

guys answer me

[cinder gorge]

Sat top is equal to JEE fail

[hybrid mauve]

Yea

Sat is ez

[cinder gorge]

Money? Just put everything you got in your major

[hybrid mauve]

But i kinda wanna try jee

Cuz i lub challenges

[cinder gorge]

I'm also just trying my luck

I'm not serious on its prep

[ornate nest]

I dont know the major. The thing that is making my choice so hard is AI

[cinder gorge]

Just work with AI

[hybrid mauve]

Then ur wasting money hon 🤚

India has 1billion + ppl

[ornate nest]

which major should I choose for that?

[hybrid mauve]

Most of them are dead serious 💀🤚

U need to have atleast sm lvl of seriousness cuz luck dies in jee 💀

[cinder gorge]

Nah I picked the most money efficient option, also no way I'm getting my mum to believe that JEE is not a good option for me, she just wants me in an Indian college and then work outside, I know it's not the most effective so I'm gonna give JEE and then instantly give SAT

[cinder gorge]

Software engineering and AI field in that

[ornate nest]

bro the thing is you gotta see the question, understand the question, and solve the question. Do it with every question and thats it

[cinder gorge]

Nah, most of them are like me, 1.5million go each year, still only 10k get into IIT

[ornate nest]

have you watched the nvidia guy?

[cinder gorge]

Yes

I'm taking AI as well

I was going for CS but then saw devin

Now going for ai

[ornate nest]

but AI will replace software engineering and also CS

[cinder gorge]

That's why we go for ai

We work with it

Making it impossible for it to replace us

[ornate nest]

oh ok

but is AI a major?

[cinder gorge]

AI is a branch of CS

[ornate nest]

do you think I can do neuroscience and engineering?

undergrad

[cinder gorge]

Idk bout that

Anyways I gotta go

Ttyl

[ornate nest]

ok

bye

[lean pollen]

should i still try and get into performing arts colleges even though I dont really have any experience?

I do have interest and passion when it comes to it

I basically practice on my own everyday but ive never had any professional training or took part in EC

related to it

if i dont end up getting in any ill just look into another major but im not particularly interested in anything else as much

[solemn hamlet]

what have you explored?

[cinder gorge]

is it a good idea to test out of pre calculus honors?

[solemn hamlet]

In most cases, yes

[cinder gorge]

If I test out I won’t fail calc bc right??

[sullen hearth]

idk

u can always self learn

[dusk venture]

hey guys

I need to skip english 2 and precal this year

I can skip precal using cbe

but I need like a free course that gives hs credit

for english 2

im sure there is a ton

but i just dont know

I need to do this so I can take 7 aps next year as a sophomore

So pls pls pls help me

i truly appreciate your help in advance

TYSM

<3

[rancid merlin]

Do a dual enrollment

[dusk venture]

Sorry I forgot to mention

Like paid options r plentiful

I’m looking for free options

[rancid merlin]

Wait yall need to pay for dual?

My hs gives free classes

[violet dagger]

I don’t

But my credit only applies to community colleges

[full tinsel]

Bruh

[rancid merlin]

Dawg you might be screwed then

maybe like a creative writing class?

[dusk venture]

yeah i need a hs credit

[violet dagger]

ikr

the system's a scam here

and i'll just end up being a broke college grad with thousands of dollars of debt

or ill have to join the military ig

[forest crystal]

try your states virtual school

[lunar aspen]

thoughts or advice on ap sem, precalc, and bio sophomore year?

[deft maple]

Dude how you gonna stay active with your extracurriculars and social life 😭

[dusk venture]

Ok but this is important though bro

Pls let me know

if u know places that give hs credit

for free

cause I truly need it bro

I need a better school rank pls

I dont want to get disowned bro

[deft maple]

7 APs is pretty excessive

And it’s not free either

[dusk venture]

ik

but do u know any free courses online

that gives free hs credit

🙏

[deft maple]

That’s a guidance counselor question

Also state curriculums range from state to state so a program like that most likely doesn’t exist

[dusk venture]

😭

[sly acorn]

W courses or nah?

[dusk venture]

Bro idk any at all do u know any from texas

pls help me brother

[deft maple]

Does your state not have an online school?

[deft maple]

Why are you taking AB and BC at the same time?

[sly acorn]

AB first sem, BC second sem

[dusk venture]

not that ik of

[deft maple]

Oh

[deft maple]

Go ask your guidance counselor

[dusk venture]

bro she doesn't know anything plus my school is too poor to have a counselor for guidance

just general counselor

💀

[dusk venture]

https://www.lumiere-education.com/post/8-free-online-credit-recovery-programs-for-high-school-students

wait does this work??

[deft maple]

😭

[dusk venture]

i searched it up and found this

[dusk venture]

Pls help me brother, I really don't want to disappoint my ancestors + get disowned

I need a higher school rank bro

Pls i can't afford outside housing rn 😭

[deft maple]

Sounds like it

[deft maple]

School rank is overrated

Shouldn’t be top priority

[dusk venture]

is it the same ??

it says credit recovery though

would that work if im tryna get ahead

[deft maple]

Idk send an email

[sly acorn]

school rank should come naturally as u work with rigiour

[dusk venture]

Yeah but not getting disowned is a top priority

[deft maple]

Literally or figuratively?

[sly acorn]

u dont have to focus on school rank to have a high one, just do hard classes and APs

[dusk venture]

literally bro

[deft maple]

Listen to this guy

[dusk venture]

not at my school bro u need to try

[sly acorn]

if ur gpa is under 4 then forget rank and focus on other stuff

[sly acorn]

yes U can try in CLASSES by getting good GRADES and doing HARD COURRSES

[dusk venture]

no, at my school they take off .1 from your gpa for each number below 100

[sly acorn]

THen get 100s

[dusk venture]

so the only way to gget maximum gpa is by getting all 100

and the valedictorian has a 100 average

[dusk venture]

:/

[deft maple]

It’s called a 5.0 scale

[sly acorn]

do u have letter grades

[dusk venture]

Yeah but i need ap courses for extra

[dusk venture]

no

[deft maple]

Colleges will readjust the gpa

[coral crane]

gpa is not everything so a gpa less than 4 could work, im only saying this assuming great ecs, great aps, and great ps

[dusk venture]
