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

dusk venture

for free

#

:(

solemn hamlet
solemn hamlet
#

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
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

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!

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?

No

#

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

hollow rock
#

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

it’s Walmart NHS

and it’s also hella pricey so yeah

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

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.

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

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

You're surviving on fast food??

Oh wait it's fafsa

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

😂

solemn hamlet
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

Press windows key plus H.

#

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

solemn hamlet
weary atlas

#

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

hollow rock
# solemn hamlet So you're eating fast food to survive after all?

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
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
#

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
#

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 😭

like USB ABC2. three. All the same thing.

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

Perplexity AI

OpenAI has announced the formation of a new Safety and Security Committee, led by CEO Sam Altman, Board Chair Bret Taylor, and Board Member Nicole Seligman. This committee will make recommendations to the company's board on safety and security decisions for OpenAI's projects and operations. The committee's initial task is to evaluate and strengt...

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

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

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

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
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
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
#

And what's your class rank? 🤔

vapid solstice
#

they dont weigh honors because we only have honors in stem

solemn hamlet
vapid solstice
solemn hamlet

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
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?

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
#

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
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
#

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

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…

Would it be weird if an Asian applied for gender studies

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

cinder gorge
#

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

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

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

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

#

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

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
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
kind depot
#

just like an honors English but lots of extensive work

#

From what I’ve seen at least

sullen hearth
# kind depot hm what sets it in between

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 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
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
#

Thank you for the adviceee

#

I’ll definitely consider it

sullen hearth

kind depot
#

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

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
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
#

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
#

#

I’m doing better

I’m worried too difficult

Wont go well with other research and college apps

Major: finance and international relations

delicate grail

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
#

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
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
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

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

Grades are not the only factor though

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
#

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

urban widget
#

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

rare viper
#

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?

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
#

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

torn flint
#

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

rare viper
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

@torn flint what country u in

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
