[hollow furnace]

Yeah, but I meant as an AP, mbd for not specifying! But that looks really good! I really hope you get in wherever you wanted to go!

[dusk venture]

[dusk venture]

[coral crane]

its only the test tho

[dusk venture]

dude im low income first gen immigrant if i ask for like 100 dollars my mom will guilt trip me lmao

[sly acorn]

same but not low income

[dusk venture]

i have money but i invested all of it into stocks and i'm too asian to actually spend money 💀

[sly acorn]

its for scholl and ur future tho

[dusk venture]

lol

[dusk venture]

In my personal opinion if you need to spend money to succeed you're not building the life skills early on

even if u get into better school

especially the kids that don't do work at home bro

they're so spoiled

[vast sky]

Then whyd you put into stocks to get more money TO SPEND

[dusk venture]

it's kinda annoying

[sly acorn]

i thot u wanted aa high ranking

become less asian

and spend more

[dusk venture]

Hmm i'll spend the money i have in stocks later perhaps in college or afterwards

muwahahaha

[deft maple]

Yo what APs have you took so far?

[dusk venture]

or be more asian and do it without wasting money sir

[sly acorn]

how are u going to be valedictorian if u dont commit with money

[vast sky]

no do it WITH MONEY

[dusk venture]

p2w is crazy

[vast sky]

exactly

[dusk venture]

bruh

[sly acorn]

y have to pay money for AP tests

[deft maple]

@dusk venture what APs have you took so far?

[sly acorn]

if ur poor colleger board will give u discount for AP

[sullen hearth]

u don’t understand people who are valedictorian get so much help. they probably have a private tutor for all there subjects

[dusk venture]

Yeah ik bro

That’s literally top 1 at my school and most kids

They have personal tutors bro so unfair

[solemn hamlet]

🤔

[lone lion]

stop thinking emoji

[wet bison]

yah crazy parents drop like 15k on sat tutors n stuff

i could never

it aint that serious, a degree is a degree

[vast sky]

Well I mean if u got the money

[wet bison]

Who tf got that money

[vast sky]

idk man millionares

[cinder gorge]

haha imagine we don’t do valedictorian in our school

[sullen hearth]

it’s fine u don’t need to be

[sullen hearth]

fr shit is paper 😭

[dusk venture]

so p2w dude

[dusk venture]

Fr i need to get it without spending money to exert dominance

[cinder gorge]

Does your school let you test out of courses???

[dusk venture]

yeah but it cost money + i dont get to learn the stuff

for free

:(

[solemn hamlet]

[solemn hamlet]

Time >> money

You can turn time to money at a much more efficient rate than it takes you to test out of a course

Plus there are tons of free resources to learn online

[dusk venture]

Bro that makes no sense because I still need to study for the course

[solemn hamlet]

so all you do in the class is study?

[dusk venture]

???

[solemn hamlet]

Ok nvm bro you should probably not even try to test out anyway

[cinder gorge]

We have to self study the course and then take a test for it at the end of the year we can take a test for free!

[cinder gorge]

That doesn’t even make sense

[dusk venture]

yeah right

[dusk venture]

i couldn't so im trying to find free options that give the course material + credit for free

[solemn hamlet]

[dusk venture]

bro y'all didn't even answer my question at all though 😭

just made me restated my question

[solemn hamlet]

have you tried DE at CCs online?

[lone lion]

type shit

[dusk venture]

those cost money bro

[cinder gorge]

Our school makes us pay for every little thing so I don’t know any

[dusk venture]

Alright thanks bro I'll keep searching

[cinder gorge]

Tell me when you do I think it will be helpful for me too

[solemn hamlet]

yes but it's not that much

🤔

[dusk venture]

Sure!!

[sullen hearth]

bro there is SO much information out there. Idk why u wanna test out so badly

[lean pollen]

idk ive looked into english literature and zoology, but im currently exploring more paths

[marsh wyvern]

guys if i were to self study ap spanish lang and culture would that count for ivy leagues as 4 years of taking a language

[deft maple]

No

When you self study APs they only give college credit, no high school credits

[loud vortex]

What’s NSHSS? I got an email from them about a membership.

[sullen hearth]

idk look it up

[loud vortex]

I did and it was pretty useless. It didn’t explain anything.

[cinder gorge]

should i go into Accelerated English

[coarse sigil]

i got it too

its pretty bad

dont do it

[vivid night]

lol u basically pay them for a car sticker 😭

[loud vortex]

Lame.

[south cape]

Your school might have dual credit programs located at a nearby community college or even within the school property. Otherwise there aren’t many free options. If you are in Texas, there is something called UTHS that allows you to take most core and elective classes for about $250 per semester, but it gets pretty expensive.

@dusk venture

[brazen trout]

spanish level 4

take up to Spanish 4, that's usually enough of a language requirement to get our pf taking it in college.

[civic sierra]

is there anyone here who has gotten into an ivy? I had a quetsion, im in 9th gave my first sat, expecting around a 1250+, probs around 1300, prepared for 2 weeks so ye mb, i got a very less score, but im thinking obut giving it once more in august, and then in 12th, should i do it or not?

[dusk venture]

does it offer financial aid

[south cape]

No

The dual credit at your school will likely be free, but UTHS offers nothing.

[hollow rock]

Trying to follow this, is this a CC, dual enroll, CTE? That they are asking about

I may have to scroll up further as I see you had suggested CC.

Okay they're still in HS?? If I understand correctly

SO, planck answered you quite well, though in regards of finances, as some will lift tuitions, depending on the course, it's up to them.

It doesn't hurt asking

[upbeat radish]

Same bruh don’t do it

it’s Walmart NHS

and it’s also hella pricey so yeah

[south cape]

It’s an overrated version of the National Honor Society with underwhelming benefits. You could join if you want, but it’s not that useful. It is a legitimate organization though.

[valid talon]

scam

[hollow rock]

oh psht, they still charge the $180 bs nowadays?

I remember those letters back when I was in freshman university, and even HS actually I started receiving those. didnt know that pest of a scam is around today still

As tbh, I have to agree with taut here, as there's much better out there i.e FCCLA

[main storm]

Does anyone have any good youtubers to watch for ap seminar, euro, precalc, and micro?

all ap

pls ping if u respond !!

[forest crystal]

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEHRHjICEfDWDNjJgvnNTHfUFv3Sgjgb6&si=EibFzNp7pGYjIuLi

[main storm]

Thanks

[forest crystal]

youre welcome, and lmk if someone tells you a youtuber for ap precalc i've been looking for a good one

[hybrid sail]

I would recommend The Organic Chemistry Tutor

[forest crystal]

okay, thanks!

[hollow rock]

I'll just throw it in here as I guess it's kind of core selection more or less doing. I need to call financial aid. because I think someones confused but completely flopped that last semester because personal reasons. Ended up finding a solution, got financial aid for 2024 2025 but I just got an email for exit counseling, but I'm enrolled for the semester. Little confused by that.

[solemn hamlet]

What 🤔

[hollow rock]

What as in you don't understand because I'm using voice typing but I got an email from the. university financial aid office saying that I need to do exit counseling. I'm not graduating or dropping. I'm enrolled

My grammar is going to be a little choppy. Apologize about that. If it was in response to I came off confusing or something. because my keyboard kind of just died. So I have to use the voice to type

[solemn hamlet]

Yes.
Email your counselor, how would someone here help

[hollow rock]

Ohh yeah, obviously I was just wondering if like I was seeking input basically like. should I just ignore it basically or maybe somebody has been through a similar situation type of question

[solemn hamlet]

Well if you wanna leave the uni then you might wanna ignore it 🤔

[weary atlas]

Fortunately (or unfortunately) haven't, sorry

Do you want to leave the uni or?

[solemn hamlet]

Like is it a mistake or did u enroll somewhere else for nest semester

Cus if you were looking to select some other uni, then that could be related to course selection

[hollow rock]

As. this has even confused my loan provider, which is why I kind of asked. because it's very confusing. and they're not very organized in that office. So I'll have to call my counselor. Well, that's the confusing part. They just like act like nothing happened. And instead of talking further with me. the actual financial aid office just told me to talk to the student service. It is just chaotic here, actually. because I have contacted the financial aid office. just not anyone else than that. Because what the hell is student service going to do? So it looks like I will have to call the counselor.

[solemn hamlet]

Cus u said it was related earlier 🤔

[hollow rock]

Oh no, I was talking about the channel because there's no channel that is like financial. I'm shocked that there's actually no financial aid channel

Though, to be honest, the fafsa this year isn't that hard, so probably don't need one

[solemn hamlet]

😭 what 😭

You're surviving on fast food??

Oh wait it's fafsa

[weary atlas]

💀

[solemn hamlet]

Mk yeah, it'd be best to just talk to your counselor and get it dealt with 🤔

[solemn hamlet]

They edited it 😡😔

[hollow rock]

I really can't wait until my new keyboard arrives. I made the fix. You can't make fun of me thats illegal. I fixed the typo. Why are you kicking me while I'm already on the ground? My my keyboard's broken. I can't even do an emoji. 😭 Never mind. I found out how.

[weary atlas]

Yeah, sounds like calling the counselor would be the best way to go tbh

😂

[solemn hamlet]

Can do emojis and edit even tho ur keyboard is gone 🤔?

[weary atlas]

How'd you send the message without a keyboard? 😭

[hollow rock]

Yeah, I'll have to do that. certainly. And the fast food too. Obviously. Yes. you can try it Very awkward to do, though. Go ahead and open your voice to text on windows and say frown face or something like that. I have mine just set to sad emoji.:(Oh, there we go. I figured it out.

[solemn hamlet]

but how do you even voice type on a computer 🤔

[weary atlas]

i can't figure it out 😭

[weary atlas]

Is easypeasy

[hollow rock]

Press windows key plus H.

In my case, I have a program called voice access It's with Windows eleven

[solemn hamlet]

So you're eating fast food to survive after all?

[weary atlas]

How's windows 11 treating you? Everyone tells me 10 is better than 11

[solemn hamlet]

Eh it's pretty subjective

11 isn't that much worse, windows 10 makes me puke

[hollow rock]

It really depends on your preference. I would say it's. very just visual to be honest, the performance I wouldn't say as someone who develops you can install windows 11 but select the international United States keyboard and it comes with no bloatware. I don't play video games, so this doesn't really matter to me, but you have the most latest direct X drivers on 11.

[weary atlas]

Hmmm makes sense yeah

[solemn hamlet]

Do you even know what DirectX is?

[hollow rock]

Let me go ask Socrates now. Do you ask any philosophical way or? a literal way? Because we can go philosophical on this.

Because the true question is, does anyone truly know what directx is? Or who directx is.

[weary atlas]

Tell Socrates I said hi

[solemn hamlet]

Windows 10 is deprecated software, you definitely shouldn't use it now, but if u don't wanna use 11, switch to linux

[solemn hamlet]

What 😭

Why is DirectX related to philosophy

It's a freaking graphics API 😭

[hollow rock]

Well, yeah, I'm asking a nonsensical question to a nonsense question.\

[solemn hamlet]

It's not a nonsense question though 😭

DirectX doesn't have drivers, it's not a piece of hardware

Do you even know what a driver is? And don't talk about vehicles 😭

[weary atlas]

screwdrivers ‼️

[hollow rock]

like USB ABC2. three. All the same thing.

[solemn hamlet]

Screw you 🗣️

😞

[solemn hamlet]

ABC2?

[hollow rock]

split u like 2 and 3 from 5

[solemn hamlet]

What 😭

[weary atlas]

Reject modernity, embrace Windows XP 😎

[hollow rock]

You heard me. Ok, maybe I'll calm down on the physics jokes

[solemn hamlet]

💯

[solemn hamlet]

How is this related to particle physics 😭

[hollow rock]

Good question. Actually, the electrons. it's always the Electrons in the Magic Blue smoke

[solemn hamlet]

The.. magic blue smoke? Do you mean the electron quark plasma?

[weary atlas]

I'm so done with particle physics after getting leptoquark questions on the exam

[solemn hamlet]

Makes sense.

Weren't you doing CS?

Particle physics elective or smth??

[hollow rock]

At least you don't have to tutor someone who's in high school that. is taking a business class after you literally just failed a university business class.

[weary atlas]

Well yes but I'm in the middle of A Levels exams so~

[weary atlas]

LOL that's trauma

[hollow rock]

To be honest, not that shocked. Like I'm doing social services with nuclear.

[solemn hamlet]

My mum had to tutor to survive when she was in college 😔

[solemn hamlet]

Ohh rip. This is why IB is better.

[solemn hamlet]

Social services with nuclear? Do you mean nuclear families?

[hollow rock]

a much more broad they're very broad, so it kind of allows for several options to be honest Just wait until I tell you about my development. I'm a python developer too

[solemn hamlet]

What... 😭

[hollow rock]

You can tell what I'm doing with my life, can you?

[solemn hamlet]

You're developing yourself in python??

[solemn hamlet]

No i really can't 😭

[hollow rock]

Yes, as a large language model. In fact, I am

[weary atlas]

LMAO

[solemn hamlet]

AnalaGPT? 🤔

[hollow rock]

GPT has no cool anymore Like, actually, speaking of that, did you guys hear about that guy that was fired or? he was either fired. He just left. He was the one that made all the restriction decisions on GPT.

[solemn hamlet]

Also why do u have a bash command in your name when you use win 11 🤔

[weary atlas]

Who?

[solemn hamlet]

The safety committee for openAi?

[hollow rock]

I don't think they even had a committee. It was just one guy. I'm looking for the article right now Give me a second

[solemn hamlet]

I wonder if I need a safety committee for my non-profit 🤔

At least mine isn't owned and controlled by a for profit 🤔

[hollow rock]

As I look for that, what sort of nonprofit do you run? Or do you just find out that I have an llc and three nonprofits below it? Oh, wait, what?

(seriously I am genuinely interested in hearing what you do)

[solemn hamlet]

Yeah, i did just find that out, that's cool
I've just got a nonprofit company in my country raising awareness for nutrition, still working on the beginning and haven't done much yet, but mainly cus I can't really find any competent members 😭

[hollow rock]

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/OpenAI-dsafety-8B03WzQCQVa3yo1Qz10yuA#1

[solemn hamlet]

Yep, so it's definitely not just one person 😭

[hollow rock]

And yes, of course I use perplexity. but that person, it seems it's not the article. I just forgot. I loved that on and I'm too lazy to turn off. I guess you can ask it for an article now. And yes, definitely also found out I cannot read

[solemn hamlet]

You could also just have a chief safety officer if you wanted tho, couldn't u

[hollow rock]

Yeah, you can just have pretty much anyone. But it depends if. well, if you're a charity or just a 501c3 Which status are you aiming for? Because if you're an LLC, well, your limited liability. So your choice, I guess.

[solemn hamlet]

I mean the board member who leads the committee would usually be the chief safety officer or director of safety anyway, wouldn't they 🤔

[hollow rock]

Or if you're a big corporation like Openai, well, the answer is "yesnt"

so yes but no but yes

[solemn hamlet]

Well, I'm not American, we only have a single type of non-profit private company where I live

[solemn hamlet]

What 😭

[hollow rock]

Dad look into your country's laws because in the United States they can be quite nasty if you violate that. But that is actually pretty awesome With the nutrition is full. on registered right now. because that's actually pretty awesome. I used to be interested in pretty much that. which country by chance you live in?

oh just american corporation jokes. I use to work in corporate

[solemn hamlet]

Grammar truly falling apart.

[hollow rock]

I swear on my heart it's not me. It's literally this damn voice to type feature. II might as well just get on my phone and use voice messages. Does this server allow it?

[solemn hamlet]

Only for us regs I'm afraid 😔

[hollow rock]

Ah darn it. so I am unfortunately stuck like this until 5:00 PM. It looks like or. I guess should I say whenever Amazon feels like it because this driver has been like 12 stops away for like an hour now.

I'm just going to yoink one from resources real quick.

[solemn hamlet]

Where do I go and find the country's laws that are relevant to me 😭

[vapid solstice]

Has anyone here ever self studied 3 APs in one year? I am considering doing that with AP psych, AP environmental, and AP stat but I am wondering if it is too much

[solemn hamlet]

Why do u wanna tho

[hollow rock]

i'll go brb yoink keyboard now. Be back when I can speak english.

[solemn hamlet]

[vapid solstice]

because right now, I only have room for 3 AP classes in my schedule, and I wanted to take more anyway

also all three of these subject are interesting to me and i heard they are not that hard

[solemn hamlet]

AP class isn't equal to AP exam 🤔

[vapid solstice]

yea sorry, i meant to say that I wanted to take the exam not the class

just like if i self studied for it

[solemn hamlet]

The only benefit you get from an AP exam is skipping a college course, if you've got enough credits to skip your intro courses alr, there's no point 🤔

[vapid solstice]

yea i thought abt that as well

but will it look bad to colleges if i only take 8 aps in all of high school?

[solemn hamlet]

How many are offered at your school? What'll your WGPA be?

[vapid solstice]

at my school there are around 20 offered, but thats not the problem because I still have some pre requisites to fill since my school requires 3 years of a foreign language and 2 years of fine art

i tried to skip a math level but they didnt let me

my school gives an extra .33 to weighted gpas for AP classes

[solemn hamlet]

Just calculate your wgpa if honors A was 4.5 and ap a was 5 🤔

[vapid solstice]

they dont give weighted for honors, just APs, so the max I could get is 4.4 weighted

because the highest possible would be 4.66, but i am only taking 3 aps

[solemn hamlet]

Do you not have honors at your school or do they just not weigh honors?

And what's your class rank? 🤔

[vapid solstice]

they dont weigh honors because we only have honors in stem

[solemn hamlet]

Colleges still will, tho 🤔

[vapid solstice]

my school, doesnt have that 😭 so i dont know , but I do have high honor roll

[solemn hamlet]

Do you go to a prep/ feeder school 🤔

[vapid solstice]

yeaa

[solemn hamlet]

Then I wouldn't worry too much 🤔

[vapid solstice]

idkk because a lot of ppl dont get into top colleges like what i am aiming for

[solemn hamlet]

Sooo not a feeder? 🤔

[solemn hamlet]

Even at feeders, your ECs and essays are important

[vapid solstice]

i honestly dont know, it is a prep school, but only a few get into ivies each year, and most people just go to mid universites, i also heard that the people in my school aren't that ambitious so maybe that's why no one is really aiming for top colleges?

[vapid solstice]

yeaa im trying to work on my ECs as well

[solemn hamlet]

So you have time after getting T20 level ECs to self study APs 🤔?

[vapid solstice]

I haven't really found any good ECs right now, i just play tennis once a week, and I volunteer, so thats why im still looking for something

[solemn hamlet]

And you think you'll get into an ivy by self studying APs? 🤔

Ever heard of competitions or passion projects? 🤔 Impact? Initiative?

[vapid solstice]

i feel like it might improve my chances, since I want the ap scholar with disction award hopefully next year

[solemn hamlet]

Everyone and their grandma has the AP Scholar award 🤔

[vapid solstice]

yea, in my senior year I am working on the gold award, which is supposed to be a passion project to the community

[solemn hamlet]

Awards only matter if they're hard to get and prestigious, which AP Scholar is not

[vapid solstice]

ohh

so its probably not worth it?

[solemn hamlet]

School level stuff only matters if you go to a feeder.

[solemn hamlet]

Definitely, you shouldn't even have to mention it (like you should have better awards)

School < District < State < National < International

This is how Harvard ranks ECs

[vapid solstice]

I am doing the science fair too this year and currently im brainstorming ideas

[vapid solstice]

this is rly helpful, thanks!

[solemn hamlet]

Some clubs can be good, but only when they're competitions that can get you into higher levels, besides that, local level stuff is generally low impact

[vapid solstice]

that makes sense, so generally school clubs arent that helpful?

[solemn hamlet]

The way to make passion projects better is by reaching more people, like followers for a social media channel, profits for a business, readers for a novel

[solemn hamlet]

Yep, basically, and volunteering has the double whammy of being super cliche and low impact at the same time

So does sports unless you're good enough to win

[vapid solstice]

i was thinking of starting a business, but I kind of gave up on that since it seemed too hard

[solemn hamlet]

😭

Give up on going to an ivy, it's hard for u 🤔

[vapid solstice]

💀

[vapid solstice]

thats probably why ppl from my school dont get into top schools, because this is all they rly do

[solemn hamlet]

Exactly

[timber verge]

How difficult is CS Principles?

[glass heron]

How many AP classes is recommended to take in high school if you want to get into a selective college?

[spice crown]

It changes from college to college but i recommend start with 2 or 3 and then increase it if you feel confident and believe you can balance them

[glass heron]

So far I took 1 in my sophomore year and then plan to take 3 or 4 in my junior year, thanks for your response!

[timber verge]

Easy or hard?

[forest crystal]

easy

[spice crown]

you're welcome!

[worldly flume]

pretty easy

[warped spade]

This is my plan guys. (im also taking Algebra 2 Honors, Chemistry Honors, AP Computer Science Principles thru online classes. and ill take more next summer like AP Computer Science A and i think that would be it)

My Major is Computer Science

[glass heron]

I'm no expert at this but I think you're all set!

[valid talon]

I'd personally take BC instead of AP if I were you

also why so many business classes as a cs major

[full tinsel]

Is this a good schedule as an Astrophysics Major?
(Fin Lit and Weight training are grad reqs) (I wanted to take AP Chem but I'm taking Adv. Topics in Chem second semester as thats when it was only offered)

Since I couldnt take AP Chem, I choose to take AP Music Theory cuz I kinda like music

Also AP Physics I or Physics Cs couldn't fit in

AP Lang is also a grad req

[south cape]

Honestly having AP Human Geo in 12th isn’t really necessary, I would suggest taking AP Physics instead.

@warped spade

Sorry, I shouldn’t have pinged due to time zone differences.

[warped spade]

i like business, and even tho im into cs my future is making tech companies.

[warped spade]

I think physics would be too much

but ima think about it

[warped spade]

also its fine i don’t have notifications activated (study tips)

[south cape]

Physics has a little correlation with computer science, so it will be somewhat helpful maybe (simulations).

[tired moon]

Am i better to load up on classes monday, Wednesday, and Friday so that i have less on tuesday and Thursday (i speculate imma struggle with the longer lectures), or should i go for more on Tuesday and Thursday so i have less throughout the week

[cinder gorge]

Does anyone take IB Board here?

[coarse sigil]

when is ap mandarin usually taken?

[worldly flume]

i think it was may 9th

[coarse sigil]

grade wise

[worldly flume]

uh for me it was soph-senior

for our school

alot junior though

[coarse sigil]

if u take ap classes senior year, doesnt show on app for college?

[worldly flume]

it will dw

[coarse sigil]

o

[worldly flume]

i recommend taking it junior yr though

yea

[coarse sigil]

dam bro

[coarse sigil]

but the scores reported will only be from 9th to 11th?

[worldly flume]

for the scores the college will probably accept the credit later if u do good but that depends on the college u go to

[coarse sigil]

thanks elle

[worldly flume]

the scores dont come till july 😭🙏

[coarse sigil]

right

[worldly flume]

yea i gotchu

[worldly flume]

even in 12th grade j to clarify 😭

[coarse sigil]

i was worried bc im planning to take ap bio my sophmore year. However, i already took bio this year and colleges require physics, chem, and bio. I could've took chem next year but i heard it was hard

and since I have to take chem senior year, i cant double up nothing for other aps

if yk what im saying

[worldly flume]

oh gosh

well in my experience chem rly wasnt that bad

tbh i felt like it was alot easier than physics

[coarse sigil]

our chem honors is equivalent to ap chem in other schools

[worldly flume]

yeah ik what ure saying dw 😭

[coarse sigil]

so i just backed out

my intended major is irrelevant to science

[worldly flume]

HONORS CHEM YEAH BLESS UR HEART 😭🙏

alr

thanks

[worldly flume]

i think ure fine 😭🙏

more than fine

yes

[coarse sigil]

my school is light

[worldly flume]

NO

we almost made it

we’re like top 10

i think idk

wbu?

[coarse sigil]

our football is no 1

for state

um

basketball 8th

swim 6th

soccer 4th

yeah

[worldly flume]

oh wow

ur school is very competitive sport wise

whcih state is this?

[coarse sigil]

so our course curriculum is not that strong academic wise

[coarse sigil]

nj

[worldly flume]

i think ours is somewhat balanced but yeaa ik what u mean 😭

[worldly flume]

oo okok that makes sense

[barren lotus]

Should I take ap comp sci A sophomore year. I already know Java and I don’t want to take principals but I’m also taking 4 other Aps

[wraith scarab]

is taking 3 aps (calc ab, physics c mech, and chem) good if my school offers 17

i plan on majoring in engineering

[solemn hamlet]

What kinda uni do u wanna go to?

🤧

[wraith scarab]

purdue (instate so higher acceptance rate)

[sullen hearth]

take like physics e&m and calc bc

[solemn hamlet]

Yeah it could work, especially if u have a high uw

[wraith scarab]

cant take them since my school requires ab before bc and mech before e&m

[sullen hearth]

oh

when are u taking the aps?

junior year or what

[wraith scarab]

senior year

[sullen hearth]

ahh ok

it’s fine lowk don’t worry abt it

[wraith scarab]

alright

i didnt plan my courses right since i started caring more about school sophomore year

[sullen hearth]

oh

[wraith scarab]

2.6 gpa freshman year vs a 4.0 sophomore year

[sullen hearth]

4.0 out of what

[wraith scarab]

4.3 uw

[sullen hearth]

cuz gpa at my school is out of 6

[solemn hamlet]

Wdym vs?

[sullen hearth]

oh

he’s showing he cared

[solemn hamlet]

Wdym 4.3 uw 😭

[sullen hearth]

in sophomore year

[wraith scarab]

just comparing

[wraith scarab]

my school does a 4.333 scale for unweighted gpa

[sullen hearth]

that’s so weird

[wraith scarab]

A+ is 4.333

[sullen hearth]

why such an odd number

[solemn hamlet]

So it's not a 4/4? 😭

[wraith scarab]

probably not 😭

[wraith scarab]

improvement from a 12 point scale

[solemn hamlet]

I mean its prob fine anyway

[wraith scarab]

yea it will raise up in later years

[open olive]

ap world worth it or no

[full tinsel]

Worth

[open olive]

have you taken it

is it hard because some ppl told me its one of the hardest ap courses and its hard to take with extracurriculars

[coarse sigil]

Nothing compared to chem and physics ap

[wraith scarab]

its easy

[turbid ivy]

ez

[wraith scarab]

class is pretty much common sense. its all about eating healthy and staying away from bad stuff

[lyric orchid]

should i take ap stats next year

cause it seems intresting to learna hout

[worldly flume]

yes fs

[deft maple]

Does it relate to your major?

[sullen hearth]

it’s interesting i liked it

do it if u like history

[lyric orchid]

Kinda, I may wanna do Econ

Somthing around there

[sullen hearth]

i’d take

[deft maple]

I would check your desired college’s graduation requirements for econ majors just in case

[deft maple]

Depends if the credit benefits your major or gen eds

[lyric orchid]

Bet

[wraith scarab]

around 85-90% no studying

[merry thicket]

what are good m/u level courses in grade 11 that I could take I want to be a pilot?

[slate nest]

My dream college is princeton and I want to study law there. Are there any classes or extracurriculars that I could take to help my chances?

[full tinsel]

Write a law paper

[full tinsel]

Take AP US Gov, Comparative Gov, AP Lang, and probably both AP Seminar and AP Research

In terms of APs

If ur school has a dedicated class on Law then I would take it

[coarse sigil]

princeotn has a journalism summer program thats really really prestigious

should check it out

and also

Princeton prize in race relations is one the best awards you can get

check that out too

[full tinsel]

My dream university is Princeton as well

Departamento de ciencias astrofisica

[inner tiger]

Does Ap Pre cal really matter? I’m a rising 9th grader going into algebra 2.If I stay in the route, I’ll go into AP Pre-cal in 10th
However, I want to ap cal bc by 10th instead, and the only way I can take it in 10th is to take a test to give me the credit for on-level precal
So should I self tutor myself (I also have friends going into pre cal could give me hw problems and such) instead? Or is ap precal important to succeed in ap cal bc…

Btw the 2024-2025 school year is the first year my hs offering the course

[sullen hearth]

no

[lapis sage]

Which course is harder mechanical engineering or immunology, I know they are vastly different however I just love both so much and don’t know which career path to pursue

[sullen hearth]

know trig tho

[inner tiger]

Do you recommend any yt channels for precal?

[ornate steppe]

I've heard that mechanical engineering is harder-

[inner tiger]

Any courses, books, etc?

[sullen hearth]

organic chemistry tutor

[lapis sage]

Thank you

[inner tiger]

Mkay, ty!

[sullen hearth]

u can search up fill precalc course too

[ornate steppe]

💪🏽

[sullen hearth]

full*

[coarse sigil]

princeton overrated

upenn better

[full tinsel]

If I can't go to Princeton, I'm considering UPenn

My family is from the Philadelphia Area, so it's in my blood

[coarse sigil]

ED upenn wharton

[coarse sigil]

light work then

i live in nj lmao

[full tinsel]

I think it depends on major

[coarse sigil]

just apply for gender studies

and change majors

lmao

[full tinsel]

If I wanted to major in economics or busniess than Wharton is my top school

[coarse sigil]

good stuff

[full tinsel]

Oh ywah I'm vising Princeton and Penn this summer

[valid talon]

had a friend that did this

tuned all of their ecs towards african american studies or some shit

got into harvard and yale and then immediately transferred majors

[valid talon]

Meche but it also has significantly more job prospects

if I was ever to major in engineering I would fs major in mech

[coarse sigil]

To?

what major

He big brain

Would it be weird if an Asian applied for gender studies

I mean African studies

[valid talon]

they were blasian

transferred to econ i think

[coarse sigil]

That’s pretty smart

[coarse sigil]

lmao

for harvard btw

[hollow ermine]

what if they dont let you switch

majors

[coarse sigil]

Dam

you got me

[cinder gorge]

lol switching majors for harvard is literally pressing a button

[coarse sigil]

well I don’t know

Yale!

[cinder gorge]

Yale!

[coarse sigil]

Stats pwease?!?

[cinder gorge]

3.9/4.5, 16 hunnidddd

[coarse sigil]

Are you being fr?

1600?

[cinder gorge]

yuh

[coarse sigil]

how

[cinder gorge]

lots of practice

and I retook it 6 times

[coarse sigil]

O

[hollow ermine]

how about other universities

like my biggest fear is not being able to switch if i do apply as some weird major

[cinder gorge]

for yale it's also basically just pressing a button

i'd assume similar for all other ivies

[hollow ermine]

can you switch to like a comp major like cs?

[cinder gorge]

however at state schools like the UCs I'm pretty sure you have to apply

[hollow ermine]

i assume it would be harder

[cinder gorge]

yup cs is the hardest to transfer into

[hollow ermine]

hmm ok

[hollow ermine]

yea

[cinder gorge]

basically impossible to transfer into cs at big cs schools like mit, gtech, cmu, etc

[hollow ermine]

yea

[coarse sigil]

what about finance/econ?

[cinder gorge]

definitely not as hard

[coarse sigil]

alr

[hollow ermine]

what should i apply as to those big schools then?

💀

im thinking of doing cs

[cinder gorge]

computer engineering

basically the same stuff as cs but less competitive

and better job outlooks

[hollow ermine]

hmm

ok

thanks

do u think i would have a chance to switch to cs after applying as ce

or nah

[cinder gorge]

i'd stay as ce but if you want to try by all means go for it

[hollow ermine]

alright

thanks

[placid nexus]

I’m planing to do college honors classes my second semester but continue with my real estate major

[sour smelt]

Is there anything i need to learn before studying Biomedical Engineering?

[coarse sigil]

What major is the best for real estate? That’s is what I’m trying to go into

[lapis sage]

I really want to work in Formula 1 and I’m curious what is the best major do to so

[full tinsel]

Busniess

Donald Trump got a major in busniess

Nvm economics

[weary atlas]

I'm not entirely sure but perhaps Mechanical/Electrical Engineering?

[lapis sage]

Thanks!

[weary atlas]

Data Science works too btw!

[lapis sage]

Awesome possum

[cinder gorge]

mechanical engineering or automotive engineering if you want to do grunt work with the cars

[merry thicket]

what are good m/u courses for grade 11 for pilot?

[icy swift]

wrong channel mb

[meager summit]

Yo does anyone know what the numbers after the course mean for registration?

Im looking at my math classes and there is a math 141-4, 141-6, 141-38 recitation, and a billion more

And Idk what the differences are

Or what a recitation is

[kind depot]

hai hai guys

I’m an uprising junior

I’m going to go into a medical field so I wanna finish a few of my requirements for courses

I’m taking ap lang, ap pre calc, ap stats, and ap wh, but I also am considering ap chem

Should I do it

[sullen hearth]

obviously ur going into med

[kind depot]

so that’s a yes?

[sullen hearth]

yes

[kind depot]

I’ll consider it

I was thinking about taking it senior year

[sullen hearth]

did u take bio

[kind depot]

With bio and physics

ap bio and ap physics and ap chem senior year

But I feel like that’ll be too much

[sullen hearth]

do not do that

[kind depot]

No I’m finishing sophomore

[sullen hearth]

that’s a lot of work

[kind depot]

oh ok

[sullen hearth]

Yeah u can take bio in sophomore or no?

[kind depot]

No

Not offered

So do you think I’ll be able to manage 5 aps

I’m a teeny bit scared

[sullen hearth]

If you are

[kind depot]

I’ve taken honors and duel enrolled tho

[sullen hearth]

i recommend dropping one ap that you don’t really care about

[kind depot]

so I think I have enough experience to try it out

I care about all of them so I do wanna take them

[sullen hearth]

I mean aps aren’t that much harder

[kind depot]

it’s just a lot of work

[sullen hearth]

Oh ok gl

[kind depot]

hm

I might drop stats

[sullen hearth]

Ok three of those ain’t that bad imo

[kind depot]

is ap stats hard

[sullen hearth]

Stats, whap, and pre calc are all easy

[kind depot]

lang and precalc are gonna be easy

yeah

yeahhh

[sullen hearth]

Stats is not easy but not hard

[kind depot]

Lang is so easy

I love writing

it’ll help too

[sullen hearth]

Idk i haven’t taken lang

[kind depot]

hm what sets it in between

[kind depot]

It’s usually a lot of non fiction and writing

just like an honors English but lots of extensive work

From what I’ve seen at least

[sullen hearth]

idk it depends if you get a good teacher. i mean this can be said about any subject, however i really do think stats is hard to understand if you don’t have a good teacher because it’s like a logic puzzle

[kind depot]

we have an amazing teacher but he’s leaving so we’ll have a new one

[sullen hearth]

sometimes it’s hard to conceptullay understand unlike algebra

[kind depot]

I’ll self study a lot tho

[sullen hearth]

where you don’t have to understand u just solve

Oh you should be fine

[kind depot]

Yeah

A lot of my hs teachers didn’t teach freshmen year and this year

So it was hard

But that’s why we buy textbook 😻

I have so many

[sullen hearth]

i haven’t bought any

[kind depot]

It’s the Everything You Need To Know To Ace series

It’s a good one

[sullen hearth]

i can’t stare at a text book ima go insane

[kind depot]

Very useful

[kind depot]

It’s not really a textbook

It’s more of like

Notes

[sullen hearth]

oh

[kind depot]

Lemme send u a page here rq very easy to use too

[sullen hearth]

i mean i mostly don’t struggle with courses but if i do i go in during “office hour” we call them tutorials or i just watch videos online

[kind depot]

me too!!

[sullen hearth]

that’s good

[kind depot]

it’s a good way to utilize your time and to efficiently learn

doing things alone can be easier than doing things with others

but for me I do both

[sullen hearth]

same

[kind depot]

yeahh

Are you a sophomore too ?

Or junior

[sullen hearth]

organic chemistry tutor been carrying me on his back

[kind depot]

let’s gooo

[sullen hearth]

nah i’m a freshmen but school ended so ima be a sophomore soon

[kind depot]

chem teachers are always w

[kind depot]

goodluckk

Lmk if you ever need help

[sullen hearth]

aw thanks

[sullen hearth]

he teaches like everything

like all the maths, and chemistry, college chemistry and more

[kind depot]

Ooo

That’s awesome

college chemistry??

woah

I wish I had a teacher like that

[sullen hearth]

he’s on youtube

organic chemistry

!

[kind depot]

lemme see

The Organic Chemistry Tutor??

[kind depot]

Woahh

Thank you for the adviceee

I’ll definitely consider it

[sullen hearth]

yw

[kind depot]

I think over the past two years I’ve been able to endure a lot of experiences on balancing work

I’ll definitely seek for a lot of advice too :p

[sullen hearth]

first semester was kinda rough for me but 2nd semester was easy

first sem was rough cuz i was gone for a month so

[kind depot]

youch

[sullen hearth]

im@also taking ap chem and pre calc with u next year

[kind depot]

make sure to communicate with teachers and professors

Ooo okayy

We can definitely talk about itt

[sullen hearth]

they made it hella easy for me, they were super lenient which i was grateful for

[kind depot]

precalc is a new ap at my school people say it’s hard and easy but I’ll see how it goes

[kind depot]

Yesss

I love when that happens

[sullen hearth]

all my teachers were chill this year

[kind depot]

Currently what’s happening to me rn is the mental health and life balance battle but I think I’m figuring it out

[sullen hearth]

oh damn

[kind depot]

Balance isn’t easy to learn but very easy to do

Yeahh

my physical health too but that’s alright

It’s all part of the learning process

[sullen hearth]

yup

[kind depot]

I think this year I learned that you should have self priority when you need it

I never really considered it and only onlyyy focused on school

But it’s okayy

[sullen hearth]

oh

[kind depot]

I’m doing better

[kind depot]

Yess

[sullen hearth]

i lowkey barely study for my classes

[kind depot]

Freshmen year for the win

[kind depot]

Dw I didn’t either freshmen year

I mainly memorized it

[sullen hearth]

Yeah

I just do my homework

For whap

do you know heimlers

[kind depot]

yess

Heimler’s History is great

[sullen hearth]

yeah that’s all i used for whap

i took it this year

i was super surprised by the ap test because it was really easy

dbq was a little hard for me

but

it is what it is

anytime i have to write stuff i just yap

[kind depot]

loll

Me tooo

But hey

As long as it’s relevant yap

🗣️

[sullen hearth]

fr

[kind depot]

alrighty I’ll go do my thangg

[sullen hearth]

alr bye

[kind depot]

I’ll be able to talk again if you need any help ping me:3

when u need it!!

[vast wharf]

im going into high school next year and im taking english 1 honors, journalism, geometry honors, AP computer science principles, biology honors, and spanish

is that a good start

[velvet depot]

There's an English 1 honors?

[vast wharf]

my school has it idk about urs

[velvet depot]

Depends on the school. At some schools, the title of honors is just flavor text, and doesn't actually matter. Idk what your school is or how it works, but you should be making sure to prepare to raise or lower the relative difficulty of classes depending on first semester

The faster you get a groove, the higher your gpa will go

[velvet depot]

We had a thing called freshman Composition💀

[sullen hearth]

yewa i took it this year

[vast wharf]

well that seems like flavor text if i have ever seen some

[vast wharf]

alright

thank you

[velvet depot]

At my school, the word honors doesn't mean anything in the science department. Literally every class is honors, as if they're trying to comfort us for not getting the AP class

Honors in math does mean something tho

[delicate grail]

Hey

[sullen hearth]

good advice

[vast wharf]

sounds kinda scummy to do that but idk what my school does because im not even at that school yet lol

[delicate grail]

Class Schedule:
AP Physics
Calc AP or BC
AP Micro
Dual Credit English
Social Science Research
AP Stats

I’m worried too difficult

Wont go well with other research and college apps

Major: finance and international relations

[velvet depot]

Ap physics 1 or C?

[delicate grail]

1

[velvet depot]

You probably need AP Macro and maybe gov to get into AP Micro

[delicate grail]

State Required we take it

I took macro and gov this year

[velvet depot]

Ah

[delicate grail]

I also have 4 credits for language and so don’t think it will help that much

[velvet depot]

You only need 3 credits for language or 4?

Or is it 6?

[delicate grail]

We need two in our state but I took 4 to be safe

[velvet depot]

Ah

Nice

[delicate grail]

4 levels

Yea Ty

[velvet depot]

Go for electives that deal with foreign governments or nations

It'll help show demonstrated interest

If you're overwhelmed, you don't have to

AB is less intensive then BC, but BC is more prestigious

[delicate grail]

Okay I have both AP Govs and and AP Econs (next year with macro).

okay gotcha

My school is stem focused

But I’ll try

[velvet depot]

AP comparative government's, Geopolitics, foreign relations, or whatever else could help with the international relations aspect

[velvet depot]

Relatable

[delicate grail]

If I have 4 credits of English should I drop this years English and keep stats, calc, physics, research, and Econ

My college consuelor said it would be fine but also I feel like English is a core class

I could also take BC and drop stats but for finance idk

[velvet depot]

If you don't need more English, don't take it. Is there a single credit English xourse?

[delicate grail]

Yea a few

[velvet depot]

Keep stats if yiu can

[delicate grail]

okay

If I get hard teacher for AB I’ll move to BC easy teacher

Id rather have a B in a harder class

Granted currently have a 4.0 but no one makes a in that class

[velvet depot]

The teacher can make or break your grade

[delicate grail]

yea fr

Especially aiming for top 20

Don’t want to screw it up now

[velvet depot]

How many periods per day does your school offer?

9?

[delicate grail]

It’s a college scdheule

5-6

It’s boarding school all taught by professors

[velvet depot]

Ah

[delicate grail]

Which is why the classes are ROUGH

[velvet depot]

Then idk how to help lol
Sorry

[delicate grail]

my old school I could handle a lot more but my school is really difficult

[velvet depot]

I'm a public school kid

[delicate grail]

No problem you’ve been a lot of hemp

It’s a public school

Free tuition

But jsut a really weird competitive one

[velvet depot]

Stuyvesant hehe

[candid crow]

On average, how much homework do you get?

[delicate grail]

2 hours per class

4 classes a day

but we also have labs

granted we have a lot of free time during the day

[sweet vigil]

In my school, the classes are the same for everyone so you can't pick what you want... unless you already took a class in your previous years, usually bc one was in a different school. My class has a health (s1) and nutrition (s2) class this next year and since I already have the credit, I'm thinking of changing them for microbiology in semester 1 and genetics in s2 (specialized biology classes). Is this positive for a college application to an ivy league or a school like Caltech?

(I would have them at the same time as physics and another science class I don't know yet)

[hot pendant]

i would do for my class is 1 art and 2 tech ed and 3 fine arts and i would do is choir too

and gym too

[shadow steppe]

How good do your grades need to be (percentage wise) to be considered for good schools?

[hot pendant]

my grades need to be (percentage wise)

and good schools

[edgy acorn]

Baseline 96+ or atleast top 10%

Grades are not the only factor though

[urban widget]

I'm a rising senior and want to ED Columbia but do I have a shot based on academics?

GPA: 3.85 UW (my weighted GPA is average for a school like emory or nyu but like 0.2 points below average for ivies) (3 B's in freshman year because I was a lazy kunt but straight A's since)

Course rigor: 9 APs, almost most rigorous courseload possible (only taking Calc BC next year and not multivariable calculus, took history honors instead of AP World in 10th grade)

SAT/ACT: 36 ACT and likely national merit semifinalist (I got 1540 SAT, should I also submit that or nah?)

Also my dad got his MS at Columbia but does it help at all in admissions?

[rare viper]

for ur dad part ig cuz i mean if they thought ur dad was an amazing student they would prob accept from u

plus u could have ur dad put a good word for u

[urban widget]

nah thatd be hella nepotism and they would laugh at it

maybe if the researcher likes me he can write me a letter of rec though

[rare viper]

ig

it looks good then

but like one of gohars vids say that if u r too good like perfect sometimes they won't let u in

in ur case ur not perfect but ur good so i think that there might be a high chance of u getting in

when r u planning to apply?

[urban widget]

in the fall this year

[urban widget]

that is definitely a problem i do not have but would love to have 😭

[torn flint]

I’m currently a rising freshman but have made the choice to go on the traditional path and not the engineering path in highschool, it isn’t to late to change but I would have to do it incredibly soon. Currently
I am thinking of a business related degree such as finance or economics but people keep on telling me I should take the engineering track as it would be helpful for finance or to just complete ignore finance and pursue engineering. For context I am good at math and win numerous competitions each year, I enjoy literal thinking and problem solving, and my father and tons of his friends majored in finance and make serious bank(but so do enginnering majors). I’m not sure what to do someone please give me some advice.

Also for some additional info, if I do the engineering path I will lose an elective class in ninth and tenth so that means I would have to take those electives in junior and senior year which is when I would be grinding APs since I can’t take them in my freshman year.

[torn flint]

Also in ninth grade I have an required finical literacy class where I can get a feel for finance and economics but if I don’t like it and want to do engineering it would be to late

[violet dagger]

if u want engineering then go for it

its not too late hs is the time to explore

[torn flint]

The thing is I’m not sure if I would enjoy it or not it’s just everyone that I know keeps on saying that it would be right for me

I took gohars quizzes for if a major is right for me and I only matched for finance and engineering

So that’s all I’m really basing it on

[deft maple]

You should join DECA fr

[torn flint]

I was gonna start it at my school but we have fbla😭

[rare viper]

Ur thinking of finance in this economy? For something like thst u should prob go to China or Japan

[torn flint]

Why tho?

Isn’t there job opportunities for finance all over, regardless with somewhat type of business degree my parents said I could take over their business which would make more than engineers based on what’s online for the average pay that engineers get

So idk

[deft maple]

Finance careers are still in demand

[torn flint]

Fr

[deft maple]

And plus this guy is a rising freshman so he still has time

[rare viper]

@torn flint what country u in

[torn flint]

Also for the engineering path if I do it for all of high school it means I lose two classes but they are still honors so I can still be Val, but is it worth it to do it

[torn flint]

🇺🇸🇺🇸

🦅🦅

[deft maple]

Why do you lose two classes?

[rare viper]

Oh ok I was thinking bout canada lol

Our economy is dead

[torn flint]

It’s because they give us an Edd class for the certificate and there some other class

[rare viper]

What state?

[deft maple]

What is an edd class and why do you need a certificate?

[torn flint]

Sadly … lousiania

[rare viper]

💀

At least ur not somewhere like idaho, montana, indiana, maine or anywhere depressing like that

My cousin from Vancouver is studying there rn

Fresh out of grade 12

[deft maple]

@torn flint Wait what was your problem with finance and engineering again?

[rare viper]

But prob dont come to canada for finance

Wait

[torn flint]

It’s an engineering deisgn and development class and our school offers it because once you complete the program you get a certificate that helps with getting jobs out of college

[rare viper]

@torn flint

Did u look at London School of Economics?

[deft maple]

So what does your freshman schedule look like?

[rare viper]

They got an amazing program for the stuff ur interested in

[torn flint]

I’m not sure if I should do it since I’ll have two extra classes and if I don’t like it then it’s hard to quit (for engineering)

[deft maple]

What does your freshman year schedule look like tho

[torn flint]

Currently in trad path

I have
English two
Geometry
Biology
Civics
Spanish one
Finical literacy
Pe 1

Spanish two

Currently

If I switch to enginnering then I’ll have

[deft maple]

Why do you need civics?

[torn flint]

English two
Geometry
Biology
Civics
Spanish one
Engineering class
Edd class
Finical literacy

[torn flint]

It’s required

[deft maple]

Oh

[rare viper]

Is spanish required for graduating in america?

[deft maple]

Depends from state to state

[torn flint]

I think we just need two courses for my high school ivys usually want four courses I’m pretty sure

[rare viper]

In Ontario, we got an option to drop out of French in Grade 10 even tho its the second official language of Canada

[torn flint]

lol

[rare viper]

Im in grade 8 right now and for some reason I can still get my hours in this year

[torn flint]

So do you think it would be worth it to take engineering

[rare viper]

What do u think I should do?

[deft maple]

Does your school allow you to take sports as a PE credit?

[torn flint]

Nope, I do soccer and starting another sport next year tho

[deft maple]

I would go with your second schedule tbh

[torn flint]

My school is the number one highschool in lousiania but they are strict

[deft maple]

It’s better to find out what your truly interested in early on

[rare viper]

Private school?

Is it IB?

[torn flint]

No it’s public

[rare viper]

For some reason my school leaving IB sadly 💀

[deft maple]

Does that interfere with getting the second schedule?

[torn flint]

Wdym

[deft maple]

At least there a bunch of other college credit programs out there

Oh wait your Canada

Nvm

[rare viper]

Ye I think ima go to a better school in Grade 10

[torn flint]

No I can still get the second schedule the only down side is that if I don’t like it then its hard to quit the enginnering program also that I have two extra classes cause of the program if I stay in it

[rare viper]

Most likely islamic school cuz they are better than normal private schools in Canada

[deft maple]

Wait why won’t they let you drop a class?

[rare viper]

And their curriculum is better

[deft maple]

Yeah but don’t you have to take religious classes and stuff

[rare viper]

Ik but it may look kinda good on an application and they also got amazing curriculums

[torn flint]

You have to take them almost to graduate for the enginnering program

Even if you were able to test out they wouldn’t let you

For the enginnering program

[rare viper]

Thats kinda dumb

[deft maple]

If you don’t like engineering then don’t get a certificate

[torn flint]

It’s a required class in ninth grade so I get it no matter what if I join

And if I quit it’s chill but I would still have took an extra class

[deft maple]

Your school requires all students to get the certificate?

[torn flint]

Yeah all that are in the enginnering program

[deft maple]

That’s fine at least you confidently know what your interested in

[deft maple]

That low key sound like a private school or sumn

[rare viper]

Ok guys ima hop off cuz its 11PM where I am and I got school tomorrow

Cya

[rare viper]

Fr

Is it AP?

[deft maple]

There’s no way your school is in line with state standards

[deft maple]

Nah AP is offered at public schools too

AP is like IB

[torn flint]

True true, there is one factor I haven’t mentioned, my brother is in the school and is a senior they told him all the same things that he can quit after a year if he wants to but they didn’t let him and he’s going into senior year

So like what if I’m stuck in it 😭

[deft maple]

Bro switch schools or sumn

Your schools sound fishy af

[rare viper]

What grade u in

[torn flint]

You can just search up best high schools in lousiania it will be teh first one

[rare viper]

12?

[deft maple]

Is it a private school

[deft maple]

College admissions don’t really care about that

[rare viper]

Caddo Parish?

[torn flint]

I mean if you want more info

[deft maple]

Is your school private or public?

[rare viper]

Public he said

[deft maple]

Bro there’s no way your school aligns with state standards

That’s so weird

[deft maple]

What kind of public school forces children to become engineers

[rare viper]

Also guys I'm in Gr 8 rn and I can get some hours in so what do u think I should do?

[torn flint]

In lousiania we have pariahs so you schools have to fit with the standards in that parish
