course-selection

[coarse sigil]

As much as you can but balance is key

[plain hemlock]

2

[coarse sigil]

Really depends on the school

[nimble trail]

economics

[nimble trail]

no but what be usual considering my schools opportunities

[coarse sigil]

Ooh thinking about Wharton?

[coarse sigil]

Honestly take the most rigorous classes

[nimble trail]

UPenn

[coarse sigil]

And only if u can manage them

same bro I’m planning to go to Wharton for finance

[nimble trail]

I am taking the most rigorous classes but we only get one ap sophomore year as a class

[coarse sigil]

Ah rip

Then take it

[nimble trail]

na I can self study aps tho

[coarse sigil]

I would do dual enrollment personally

I’m doing that for finance/Econ

[nimble trail]

That improves ur gpa as well right?

[coarse sigil]

Credit wise yes

[nimble trail]

w what ur stats

currently

[coarse sigil]

4x internships (law based)
2x club founder (FBLA and HOSA)
I got 1450 SAT but I’m retaking it this December
Varsity swim and JV tennis

It’s alright stats

[robust carbon]

4 internships 🗣️

[nimble trail]

u took the sat already. Ima take it next year

[coarse sigil]

Math is super light

[nimble trail]

why u doing finance lmao

[coarse sigil]

Well

My future profession is commercial real estate

Technically I don’t need to go to college

but

Yk

it’s Wharton ykwis

[nimble trail]

word. It’s the English sections that’s cooking me. I took a in person practice test got a 1500 but it felt to easy

[coarse sigil]

Yep

Atleast 1560 and you’re fine

Honestly ima just ED Wharton

[coarse sigil]

What state you from

[nimble trail]

ima ED Stanford or UPenn tbh

[nimble trail]

nj

Hard asf for scholarships

[coarse sigil]

Oh shit

[coarse sigil]

Dam that’s down there

I’m near fort lee type shi

[nimble trail]

what ur gpa looking like

[coarse sigil]

My school is different

it’s like weighted 5.28

Unweighted 98/100

[nimble trail]

3.9/5.25 or something

for the weighted it’s out of 6

[coarse sigil]

Ah

Cool

Honestly I’m just looking forward to growing my ec and awards section

[nimble trail]

I got like research, a co founded non profit, taekwondo(black belt), academy soccer(ima drop this maybe), and 200 hours through Boy Scouts rn. I need more business related ecs icl

[nimble trail]

my award sections looking dry asf rn😭🙏

[coarse sigil]

Aye gl tho

[coarse sigil]

Hardest part of the college process

literally

[coarse sigil]

Is the research private research? Or under prof

[cinder gorge]

hello guys I am starting practical nursing this fall and I need your help for selecting courses

[lusty ferry]

biology , chemistry, human anatomy

[quaint raptor]

Hey y'all, I'm thinking about maybe double majoring when I get to college. Does anybody know approximately how much workload it would be if I do ENG and MAT SCI?

[late aspen]

Join deca or fbla

Internships

[jolly granite]

business olympiad

i dunno if that even exists

[jolly granite]

start a profit busniess, money looks impressive and donate it to a charity of something

or you can keep it to buy a pink telsa

like my friend did for some reason

[worldly flume]

guys

ap stats or ap psych

[red pasture]

ok is this good for all of high school

ok are these classes good for high school in terms of APs?

Sophomore Year

• AP Human Geography
• AP CS Prin

Junior Year

• AP Bio
• AP CSA
• AP Lang
• APUSH
• AP Stats

Senior Year

• AP Chem
• AP Physics 1
• AP Gov
• AP Calc BC
• AP Lit

All my APs

[placid nexus]

Why take AP bio junior year and AP Chem senior year

[cinder gorge]

hey guys i have no clue what degree to go for, the uni will begin in a few weeks, anyone got any advice

[plush sierra]

What are you're interests?

[cinder gorge]

thats the problem I dont know

in terms of making money I want to end up as a buisnessman with a functioning buisness
but a buisness degree is pretty useless for that

[plush sierra]

What type of business? Also no a business management degree can be helpful for getting management positions to work as while developing your own business

So you have a job to fall back on in the chance that it doesn't go perfectly

[cinder gorge]

any type tbh whatever makes me money

[plush sierra]

Ah you should find something think about it

[cinder gorge]

I understand, thats why I am even persuing a degree

[plush sierra]

Like a product or if you have other interests like idk mechanics start your own car repair company that's an example but find an interest to start a business over

But the degree is still a good idea in case it's not success at first you still have work

Just thats all I can think of if it helps.

[cinder gorge]

As I said, anything that makes me money
the idea of business itself is enjoyable, I LOVE the work itself and its very easy for me and I also have lots of connections and people who can help me with this as well

a few months ago I started selling animals, basically buying them for bulk for cheap and then selling to butchers, slaughter houses, etc
it worked quite well untill i had to return to my homeland to visit my sick grandparents as they probably wont live for much longer

[cinder gorge]

Ik a degree is a good idea but particularly WHICH ONE

I dont know how valuable a buisness degree
i dont know how i am going to get hired if i have one
etc etc

[plush sierra]

I understand that, who doesn't want money XD and I've thought of the same but I have other plans in mind in life.

My aunt breeds pure blood dog breeds and cats and sells them. Not to bad of an idea or raise live feed or stuff like live mice all good ideas. And im very sorry to hear that :(

Also my dads working on a business management degree basically helps you get hired in management positions

Like a store manager

[cinder gorge]

does it pay well

if i am gonna work for someone atleast
AT THE VERY LEAST 100k$ a year

[plush sierra]

Well I live in the US

Guess it depends on what management position for which company you get in

You could probably do your own research into it

[cinder gorge]

hmm

i was currently

thinking of computer science

[plush sierra]

Bruhh everyone does at some point

[cinder gorge]

I am good at it+ its easy+ it seems to pay well

[plush sierra]

Ehh

[cinder gorge]

it doesnt pay well?

[plush sierra]

AI starting to develop so fast people aren't gonna be hiring computer science experts as much if AI can do it easily, better, and free

[cinder gorge]

yeah thats the problem

as to why i am not taking it

[plush sierra]

Stuff like medicine or management though is more human based or requires the human mindset to do

I'm going into psychology or plan to

It will be extremely difficult for AI to take over that

Because people want to talk to people, not an automated voice

I write code for uh minecraft mods XD so I've thought of it to just to me seems kinda of a waste

[cinder gorge]

after talking to computer science graduates who work in a good space, they said that ai will only replace the simple and low end programmers, more competent once who need to take into account other nuances will most likely work along side ai rather then be replaced by it

[plush sierra]

Ehh

That's now currently

[cinder gorge]

mmmmmmmmmm

[plush sierra]

Look at how much AI has developed in the past few years? Imagine 5 years from now how much it'll be

[cinder gorge]

true true

[plush sierra]

You never know

Can't predict it

[cinder gorge]

yeah

[plush sierra]

I'd rather know for certain on something

[cinder gorge]

the uncertainty is annoying

[plush sierra]

Mhm

Nah 6 am here I've had trouble sleeping for 2 hours now xD

[cinder gorge]

keeping the phone next to you so makes sense why u cant sleep

literally lock ur devices somewhere else and give the key to ur parents

lay on the bed and after a few minutes you'll automatically go to sleep (unless ur sleeping schedule is messed up)

[plush sierra]

Oh no I have um..mental problems sleeping nightmares and stuff

And nah I'd rather not have them go through my phone

And it's a complicated reason why I do

Sleep with it lol idk my sleep schedule is actually good though

I fell asleep earlier so I woke up earlier

[cinder gorge]

I've had the same issues
insomina (sucks)

[plush sierra]

My mom has that sounds like it sucks

[cinder gorge]

literally cannot sleep

ur body and brain is begging for some sleep

but somehow u cant

[plush sierra]

Neither can I

Fear of paralysis or dreaming

Or break-ins from trauma

Ocd so I get up almost every our to check the lock on my door

It's a nightmare

[cinder gorge]

same here
this is gonna sound weird but I became religious and started doing supplication to god and now I am fine

[plush sierra]

Nah

[cinder gorge]

not tryina make u join a cult just saying what worked for me lmfao

[plush sierra]

I have trauma from religion.

I went to a school that abused me for mine

[cinder gorge]

yeah forced upon religion is never good

[plush sierra]

Now I want no part of any

[cinder gorge]

yikessssssssssss

[plush sierra]

Idk I've found stuff that helps though

[cinder gorge]

thats good thats good

[plush sierra]

Which is why I sleep with my phone, I leave it on a chat message screen with my friend and I fall asleep it acts like comfort

Not sure why

[cinder gorge]

loneliness

you dont feel alone

when u are on a chat message with another human

[plush sierra]

:(

[cinder gorge]

like try sleeping with someone you'll realize

that you arent scared anymore

[plush sierra]

I cant sleep with anyone in a room with me that's the problem

That's why I don't get it

[cinder gorge]

why though

[plush sierra]

Trauma

[cinder gorge]

whats the reason

[plush sierra]

Or I just trust this 1 person

I can't even trust my siblings or parents

[cinder gorge]

even if u have trauma, sometimes we humans do need another person to be by our side
someone who'll not be reminding u of ur trauma

[cinder gorge]

I don't wanna stick my nose in but I do want to ask why

[plush sierra]

And that's what they do :( idk I've never been hurt before by them the only reason I can

Idk they're very controlling go through my texts and stuff without asking and yell at me for hours on end every day

Over dumb stuff

I'm 16 and not allowed to have discord either

I have no irl friends

Not allowed to go outside

[cinder gorge]

honestly understandable
I can understand both sides tbh

from what I can see, they are worried/scared of external influence

[plush sierra]

But like it's controlling

If it weren't for online stuff I'd forget other people exist

I'm not allowed to go to public school either

[cinder gorge]

they are parents, its kinda like their job to be controlling

but its probably too much

yeah they are a bit too paranoid

[plush sierra]

Yeah

[cinder gorge]

but we have been given these parents and atleast they dont beat you with whips or soemthing
So first of all I'll be greatful for that

2nd, theres nothing we can do, you try to make them understand (by first understanding them and their worries) or if that doesnt work just live with it

Most of trauma is kinda self imposed

I am no therapist so I cant give you the slow and steady solution to being mentally healthy again but I can give a different perspective of mental issues
its not something like dementia where its an actual brain problem
here its you not being able to handle overbearingly controlling parents

[plush sierra]

....no I've been hurt before by them. And no any time I talk out loud I get yelled at I have to be quiet or only talk when im allowed to. I've become anorexic too over this it's pure hell. I've kinda stopped trying irl now

I just try to help people online until im too tired

Anymore

[cinder gorge]

by hurt you mean physical abuse?

[grizzled geode]

i have a doubt

[cinder gorge]

whats up

[grizzled geode]

my parents beat me with belt

[plush sierra]

Yeah they tell me it's normal lol that they were too as well

That it's "discipline"

[grizzled geode]

what happened

[cinder gorge]

I can kinda see what they mean
in their own minds they think they are discplining you

[plush sierra]

But now I'm too scared to do anything in fear

[cinder gorge]

if they actualy are or not is a different topic

[plush sierra]

Just got beat

[grizzled geode]

i wanna pursue aerospace engineering as an intl students but apparently its tough to get a H1B visa

[grizzled geode]

i get beaten every day 💀

[plush sierra]

With anything or just with fists

[grizzled geode]

even today

belt and slippers

[plush sierra]

Yeah :/

[cinder gorge]

beating is never the option

actually making kids "discipline" by beating them only works for like 5/100 kids its not even worth it others will just get trauma

[grizzled geode]

if i talk too loud

[plush sierra]

I'm not allowed to talk

[grizzled geode]

i get beated using a slipper

they hold me by my hair and throw me on the ground

[plush sierra]

:/ that's happened before too

[cinder gorge]

yikes

I've rarely been beaten

[grizzled geode]

lucky

but i dont rlly care

i still love them and they love me

[plush sierra]

Honestly just good for you

Good for both of you

I can't

[grizzled geode]

i wanna pursue aerospace engineering as an intl students but apparently its tough to get a H1B visa

in us

primarily in space engineering

[plush sierra]

I'm struggling with a really bad disorder right now and they refuse to get me help or acknowledge it. That's neglect

Any way you see it

Anyway im gonna go back to sleep or try to im dead if I wake up late or tired

And if im caught awake at this time-.-

[grizzled geode]

@cinder gorge

[cinder gorge]

yes

whats up

[grizzled geode]

i wanna pursue aerospace engineering as an intl students but apparently its tough to get a H1B visa
in USA
primarily in space engineering

[cinder gorge]

unfortunately I am not knowledgable in that department, keep asking that question untill someone replies

sorry

[grizzled geode]

k

[stuck trench]

Should I take AP statistics or AP calculus AB/BC my senior year

Or just chill and take Honors analysis (which I’ve heard for my school is basically pre calc but they don’t offer AP)

[next ember]

I think you should do AP calculus AB/BC

[stuck trench]

Should I do AB or BC

I’m usually strong in math but I got one B+ (the last marking period) in algebra 2 and then the rest A’s

[rotund stag]

What ru majoring in

[rotund stag]

I think what he means is that u take both in the same yr, idk if ur school has that

[rotund stag]

If ur comfortable w ur school counselors try talk w them and see if they can provide help and support

[plush sierra]

Tf

Bro I don't go to public school

I have no counselors

My parents are principle teacher punisher and "support" if I can even call it that

[rotund stag]

Ur private school doesn’t have any???

[plush sierra]

Bro

It's not private school

they buy me books I read them and my mom makes the tests

[rotund stag]

O

[plush sierra]

I have no set classes and stuff

no structure

[rotund stag]

My b misunderstood

What abt relatives could u talk to them?

[plush sierra]

All dead

Or not allowed to know them

Its just me and my parents who live in this state, all the realatives I do know don't live here and I don't have a phone number

Lol yep fun life

[rotund stag]

Damn will u be able to go to college?

[pulsar falcon]

Would u recommend doubling up in sophomore or junior year? Im a new freshman and despite many schedule change requests I didnt get the doubling up I wanted so I was wondering if it’s fine to do it in these years

Either in science or math btw

[rotund stag]

Do u could do in both that what I plan to do

[pulsar falcon]

Like both sci and math?

[rotund stag]

No I meant in both yrs

[pulsar falcon]

Ohh ok

Ty

[stuck trench]

I wouldn’t be able to fit both but isn’t BC both semesters of college calculus and AB is first semester

I think that’s what I heard

[stuck trench]

I might major in biology

[rotund stag]

In my school they do ab s1 and bc s2 but idk if u have that option

[stuck trench]

Just AB and BC separate

[rotund stag]

Oh Alr

I think u should take bc then

If ur going into stem they is a decent chance of heavy math work

[stuck trench]

Alright thanks so much

[late aspen]

Yes

BC is AB but with 2 more units, unit 9 and 10 include calculus 2 content

[barren moss]

what should I avoid during a college essay?

[stuck trench]

Trauma dumping from what I’ve heard

[stuck trench]

Thank you

[barren moss]

alright thanks

[dusk harbor]

Should I do Spanish or ap physics? Tryna go into something physics related like engineering. Im a junior and can do physics next year, but isnt it good to do Spanish every year of your high school?

[near quail]

Can you not do both?

[placid nexus]

I’m doing Trigonometry next semester

[mossy stratus]

I recently dropped out of a business diploma

need help

[placid nexus]

Ok

[dusk harbor]

No my schedule doesn't fit. So eaither Spanish or physics.

[plush creek]

does your school have a language requirement to fulfill?

[dusk harbor]

I already fufilled it

But I heard 4 years of Spanish is good for like college and stuff

[plush creek]

are you doing ap physics 1 next year?

[storm steeple]

What is this?

[gilded token]

idk what course to choose for uni like I'm a science stream student

[fringe quiver]

guys any of u in a private school ,and do u have courses in it?

becz im in private school since 10 years and still they didnt give us any courses or any help for SAT

im in grade 10 now

if u have a good course for sat tell me pls

[abstract goblet]

Hello, I’m an incoming high school freshman, do you guys recommend taking a foreign language? I want to get into the t20s

Or is it required for t20s?

[errant geyser]

i think some or most competitive colleges require a few years of foreign language in highschool, but you'd have to check the requirements for specific colleges as they can vary

[dusk harbor]

Yeah I can

[golden cobalt]

does anyone know of any dual enrollment opportunities in saudi arabia? preferably riyadh

[grizzled geode]

I'm so confused

I wanna pursue aerospace engineering

But it's tough to get internships and jobs as intl

[golden cobalt]

cold emails!!

[grizzled geode]

No that's the thing

You won’t be able to practice anything. Aerospace engineering is regarded as vital to national security

Hell, even if you go to MIT, employers wont take you as an intern unless you’re a national. Even if you had a green card, which you don’t. You’re a fully international student. You’ll get zero internships and zero opportunities for work until you become a US citizen

I'm thinking maybe I should major I'm CS or smth
But I hate CS although it's the easiest to get H1B Visas

Ps I would earn the most

[fair dagger]

so ya'll do you think my counselor is gonna be pissed at me and whether I should actually do this or not?

So like spring of sophomore year I picked out some classes for DE

I've already dropped one of them bc I decided I wanted to do Japanese as well

but the classes I chose were so i could get a certificate in phlebotomy but this past summer my entire family has convinced me that it's not worth it

and most of my family are healthcare workers so I believe them bc they said that phlebotomists don't get paid that much, like more than minimum wage in MA but still not that much, apparently the phlebotomists are weirdo's and I should hang with people my own age when I'm a college student, and it'll be hard to find a hospital or something that would hire a newly certified phlebotomist who'll be a full time student and needs to be part-time employed

And they convinced me that being a waitress or bartender was better and easier to achieve

so fine, I'll take a bartending course in senior year. But also, I just realized that i can't transfer over any of these phlebotomist courses from DE to uni bc I'll be majoring in business

but also, that uni I wanna go to says they won't pre-evaluate classes so I don't know if I can transfer over any business credits either to make getting my degree cheaper

So, my big final idea and question is: should I just drop all my phlebotomy classes, change my intended DE major, and take a risk by doing business classes? Potentially pissing off my counselor bc they're new and will have to do some more paperwork for me

like I know that theoretically taking business classes before going into a business degree at uni is probs a smart idea but like, the classes I'll be taking are business major requirements like general accounting and finance that are kinda gen-ed for my degree and that might not even transfer over

[fair dagger]

shit it might be too late to sign up for some of classes bc they're full now 😭

[visual aspen]

got my schedule

sophomore

[static acorn]

which class is the hardest on here

[fair dagger]

usually they're taken together

like in the same period and class

bc they're rly similar

they're considered to be the easiest ap's available

[static jetty]

I NEED HELP

[orchid plover]

yes

[static acorn]

?

[limpid rivet]

I’m going to be a sophomore in high school should I take calc ab or bc*

[static acorn]

go for bc i would say its basically ab but with more content

for ab is fine as well

[visual aspen]

prolly ap world cause of the teacher

[static acorn]

ah okok

[vagrant basin]

I got mines recently as well

But in my school I only take four classes at once here’s my sophomore schedule

[vagrant basin]

Both

[near quail]

You definitely want to take a foreign language

[sage onyx]

Hi i am in a kind of dilemma rn, I need to decide my engeneering major ASAP.
I am initially thinking of applying to EE beacuse it's more board. (The major has like 15 different subfeilds ,infact CE&SE r considered branches of CE&SE) and I can easily switch to Computer/Software Engineering, if I wanted to however switching from SE/CE to EE will be hard.
Also I heard an Eelectric E can work as a S.Engineer/C.Enginner if they just take programming as a hobby while studying.
I am also choosing EE over CE/SE beacuse I am not sure what I want to do with life and if Programming is the thing I want to spend my life doing. (I have a passion abt technology but idk if i can excell and outsand in it)
I also heard u can still work as a Software or Computer engineer with a EE degree and u can even take masters in either fields with an EE degree.
So what do u guys think? All suggestions are appreciated.

[peak fiber]

is 9-10 APs a good amnt

[plush creek]

depends on the amount of aps offered by your school and how many you can take each year

although thats a lot

[peak fiber]

they offer 32

@plush creek

[plush creek]

how many can you tak each year

[peak fiber]

1 freshman

2 sophmore

2 and 1 dc junior

and 3dc and 1 ap senior

dual credit has same weighting as ap so i js count it as ap

[plush creek]

i think thats a solid amount

[peak fiber]

these the ones im taking

and took i am gonna take gov and pol too

[grim wind]

skip principles and take cs A

[peak fiber]

i alr took principles for gpa boost

and i hate cs now

not for me

[jolly granite]

Generally people interested in CS do well in the class and ap exam for both CSP and A

Quick story: Peer got 100 on every test and finished the course with 2 months to spare

Was flexing claiming he got a perfect ap exam score

Then he got a 4

[harsh loom]

pls what's the difference

[jagged quest]

ab is more easier than bc

depends what class you took

most schools offer bc to students that took honors trigonometry/precalculus

but if you take something like regular integreted math 2 you might not do as well or your conselors may not recommend it

they both count as 1 semester of college classes so just depends on how you want to invest your time

[grizzled geode]

Don't take pre calc

[limpid rivet]

Calc ab has 2 less units

[limpid rivet]

I took pre calc honors and got a A and got recommended for bc

But my school only goes up to multi variable

And if I finish that junior year I will have to take a course at princeton university

But since college courses are set dates like every Monday and Wednesday and my school works on a A B day schedule so one Monday I will have math class and the other I won’t

So it’s so hard to take a class there in high school for that reason

My sister tried it but the school said she would have to drop a Ap so she didn’t take a math class at princeton senior year

So that’s why I was thinking about taking ab this year bc junior then multi senior

[jagged quest]

sounds good

[queen thistle]

u can do bc sophomore year then stat junior year then multi senior yr

[lofty minnow]

Hello I need help with picking to do Spanish 3 in eather Apex or BYU. I want the easyest one anyone know what i should pick? Thank you

[vagrant basin]

What are those

[lofty minnow]

this you can do over the summer so you don't have to do in the school

[hollow shard]

why

the AP exam was nice and chill

[late aspen]

Good gpa booster but doesn’t grant credit at many colleges and doesn’t even give a credit that most people would use

So pretty bad if you have a packed schedule

[hollow shard]

yeah

[hollow shard]

Seems pretty open to me

GPA boost for sure though

Except it kinda tanked my UGPA cuz I'm dumb

I figured out how to study effectively like May

💀

meaning the exam was super easy for me, but anything before May I didn't do great on

[late aspen]

You colleges have APs affect your gpa?

[hollow shard]

?

[late aspen]

Wait I’m dumb

[hollow shard]

To clarify, UGPA -> Unweighted GPA

[hollow shard]

Haha you're fine

[late aspen]

I was thinking of university gpa 💀😭

[late aspen]

I’m in a discord with a bunch of engineers maybe you should ask them?

I’ll send you a DM of the invite

It’s called engineering tree

[wraith elm]

hey yall i’m a sophomore who’s wanting to pursue neuroscience (either computational neuroscience or neurology) after high school and I really want to get either junior marshal (or hopefully val/sal but that’s seeming a bit unrealistic)

… more in next message so I don’t write an essay

So far I’ve taken 7 normal classes and 2 DE classes. At my school we give a .5 quality point to DE classes and 1 quality point for APs. Unfortunately, I got an A in one DE class and a C in the other.

I’m currently taking 2 APs and 5 regular classes. What should I do next year AP wise and all do that in order to get as high as possible in class rank?

Junior Year
AP Calculus BC
AP Spanish Language and Culture
AP United States History
Chamber Orchestra
AP Chemistry
AP Seminar
AP English Language and Composition

Senior Year
DE Linear Algebra ~ Multivariable Calculus
AP Government ~ AP Economics
Chamber Orchestra
AP Research
AP English Literature and Composition
AP Psychology

This is my current plan but it seems I’d be really susceptible to burnout

Keep in mind I will have to take Calc BC and Seminar next year regardless of what I do

That goes for Research during senior year too

For comparison, there are people in my class who took 1 AP + 6 regular classes last year and are taking 4 APs + 3 regular classes this year

[full tinsel]

....

[silent sierra]

Hello, Top student here

Although it is burnout prone, if you want to be valedictorian or salutatorian its wise to take as many AP classes as your school offers. One way to avoid burnout is to learn a school life balance (easier said than done). Of course to do this you have to sacrifice some time in your personal life to study

If you want to at least get top ten, then you can take at least 5 ap classes and you will do good.

[coarse sigil]

Seems like from the DE you tend to underestimate the rigor of some courses, speaking from the grades you got.

And also wayyy too early for burnout

[silent sierra]

I would say they might hit burnout around junior year or senior year. I really hit burnout during that time between work school and college aps

[rotund stag]

Yo if u doing neuroscience definitely definitely consider taking AP bio and ap chem and anatomy

[lofty minnow]

I need help with picking to do Spanish 3 in eather Apex or BYU. I want the easyest one anyone know what i should pick?

[proven lion]

Hello, whats the name of the collage that when you get the degree you become a personal sports doctor?

[late aspen]

?

Do you mean what med schools offer a doctorate in sports medicine?

[proven lion]

Like you know footballers have personal doctor or the whole team has a special doctor

[late aspen]

Idk, don’t play football

But you can google what colleges offer degrees in sports medicine

[proven lion]

Its kinda separate from med school, its really close to natural remedy college

[proven lion]

Ok you know how people with spine problems dont always go for lab medicines but they go for natural medicines like swimming as a remedy for they’re spine? Well they gotta have a doctor to help them and this collage specializes in that

[onyx galleon]

yo guys what AP courses should I take for my sophomore year I’m taking AP Seminar

[true olive]

So after Geometry and Alg 2, should I take Trig/Probability and Statistics (one course) or AP Pre-Calc?

[static acorn]

ap precalc

[static acorn]

some science class

[onyx galleon]

@static acorn science?

[devout lantern]

like chem, bio, phys 1

[onyx galleon]

@static acorn tbh I’m taking pre-AP bio

[devout lantern]

whats pre-AP bio? we don't have that

[onyx galleon]

@devout lantern it’s a course that prepares you for AP courses

So for my sophomore year I can’t take AP bio

But next year then yea

[devout lantern]

ohh ok. i guess we just don't have that at my school. at my school they just have a prereq class in that subject like taking bio 1 before AP Bio and getting a certain grade

[onyx galleon]

Yeah I gotchu

But the problem is in the Middle East it’s different

[devout lantern]

ohhh, ok

good luck with that!

[static acorn]

thats pretty good

[onyx galleon]

For some reason my school removed Pre-AP bio for my freshman year which is so stupid

And it’s hard for me to take other courses

Like AP and whatnot

So I can only take 4 courses for my sophomore year

And I’m taking AP seminar, pre-AP bio, pre-AP algebra, and pre-AP English 2

[static acorn]

what is pre AP algebra

is it just algebra 2

[onyx galleon]

Yeah

[peak fiber]

im not taking the test

js the class

[coarse sigil]

would be like honors algebra 2 ig

[onyx galleon]

@coarse sigil no it is not honors algebra

[coarse sigil]

regular?

[onyx galleon]

No it’s pre-AP Algebra II

[safe granite]

Wtf is ap algebra 2

[onyx galleon]

@safe granite bro wdym

[safe granite]

I’ve never heard of ap algebra 2

[onyx galleon]

Its pre-AP

There is no AP algebra 2

[safe granite]

Oh

Mb

[onyx galleon]

No worries

[coarse sigil]

[robust carbon]

Nah you're fine for 10th.

[red pasture]

What abt future courses

[robust carbon]

They're tough, but possible with work yk.

[hollow shard]

Seminar is FUN!

[hollow shard]

Nope, you're completely fine this year

Junior should be somewhat harder, but still easily manageable (I believe in you!)

Senior is going to be rough, BC, SPanish, double science, and lit

gonna be really rough

[vagrant basin]

Which science? I’m curious 🧐

Idk what other schools do and stuff

[hollow shard]

not me, this guy

physics and chemistry together is WiLd

Like my friend took bio and chem, somewhat crazy already

[vagrant basin]

CHEM & PHYSICS?!

[hollow shard]

but physics and chem?

crazy shit

[vagrant basin]

Ngl I may be cooked next year but what’s the point in life if we don’t challenge ourselves, right?

[hollow shard]

what are you taking next year

[vagrant basin]

Here’s my incoming sophomore classes:

AP Physics C Mechanics
AP Physics C Electricity & Magnetism
AP Statistics
AP European History
Biology
Spanish 3
English 10
Health Education

[hollow shard]

the hell? Two ap physics?

also crazy

at least the rest of your schedule is normal

[vagrant basin]

Sophomore as wellll 😭😭😭

[hollow shard]

😭

GL

[violet iris]

jeez bro very impressive

completing calc is impressive as a sophomore

[vagrant basin]

Nah I did it freshman

My GPA kinda sucks thoooo…

I kinda bombed Calc 💣

[compact olive]

Guys, can I drop ap euro? I thought I’d love it and be interested but forgot that I fucking hated apush and this won’t be any better. I’ve got very possibly the best teacher at the school and one of my best friends in the class and I’m fs interested in euro but I can’t do 20 pages of reading a night on top of 4 hours of work and 4 other aps

For reference I’m trying for mit (trying not expecting) and have calc bc lit csa and physics this year. Senior this year and 5 aps last year with a 5 on the 4 tests I took, 5th I didn’t take a test for bc it was de at state college

[violet iris]

calc bc as a freshman is impressive

is what i meant

[vagrant basin]

Ohhh ok

Even if I got B’s?

[vagrant basin]

Yeah I mean if your not planning on majoring in a related field you already have plenty of AP’s

[vagrant basin]

What are your stats? I’m just curious 🧐

[grim wind]

Depends on your story

MIT recommends 2 years of history and/or social sciences in high school

So if you are only applying to MIT, and you have 2 years already, then sure

[violet iris]

oh

but its fine ig since ur still a freshman

just improve your GPA for the rest of sophomore and junior

[compact olive]

Stats? Idk which ones you want but 4.71 last year, 5 on all aps while doing soccer NHS and… three other clubs? All unique to our school so you wouldn’t know them

[compact olive]

I have 3, but I’m not trynna just complete the “recommended”. I got those and I still don’t think imma get in lmao

[grim wind]

So what would be the disadvantage of dropping AP Euro to you?

[compact olive]

Less on my transcript

[steel hawk]

Did I take on too much for my Junior Year as a B student who has never taken an AP?
AP Stats - Math
AP Lang - English
AP Physics 1 - Science
AP Psychology - Social Studies
Spanish 3 - Elective
Architecture - Elective

[dull adder]

yes

[steel hawk]

thx 😭

[young helm]

Do you think it’s a good start for freshman year for college coming up soon less than a year?

Math: AP Calculus
English: AP English/Lit
Social Studies: AP Introduction To Law
Science: HNR Chemistry
Elective: Introduction to Italian
Elective: Intro to Media

[vagrant basin]

Wow that’s good

[vagrant basin]

Physics and Language are your enemies here

[steel hawk]

I might be good with physics actually, i already took regular physics so im taking AP physics just to fulfill a requirement

[vagrant basin]

Oh nice how was it

[steel hawk]

Really easy but I also had an unconventional teacher. We had to figure out formulas on our own and we didn’t learn from a textbook. We all took the class while taking algebra so that made it very interesting.

[main storm]

Exact same story with me. I’m thinking about dropping 😭😭

I’m probably only going to stay cuz I have 2 of my best friends in it and the best teacher

[compact olive]

That’s the exact same then 😭

The only thing making me stay is a friend and an amazing teacher

Also how tf did I check discord once in like 8 hours and it’s 2 minutes after you responded

[wraith elm]

The reason for the C wasn’t bc of the content—the teacher had marked multiple assignments as missing when I had submitted them and didn’t fix it in time for my transcript

[wraith elm]

Oh yeah for sure those if def love to take

AP Bio not so much bc the teacher kinda bad and will throw my grade

I got a 66 on a coloring sheet when I had her for bio

[coarse sigil]

bros selling hard

[coarse sigil]

ok

[valid talon]

horrific blunt rotation

2 ap physics is traumatizing to think about

this genuinely might be one of the worst schedules I've ever seen and I've seen people with full APs

simply due to how discombobulated it is

[modest walrus]

hii do u guys have any tips for me? basically, i took pe over the summer and im now a sophomore (today was my first day of school). i wanted to take ap computer science principles as my second elective, but turns out that certain classes i have are full and can't be rearranged so now i cant do ap csp :(( so i got the option to take a dual enrollment class at a local college. should i do dual enrollment and do a computer science class? or should i choose an easy dual enrollment and treat it as like a free period

i wanted to take another ap but i have a free 4th period and none of the sophomore classes are teaching that period :((

[full tinsel]

Thank u for doxxing all ur teachers

[wet sigil]

So i am studying as a junior in high school but i am confused what to go with in college so i can have a good job with good pay back in india .

[vagrant basin]

Wdym

[wraith rover]

i mean your teachers names are displayed

and sorta doxxed ur high school

[vagrant basin]

There we go 👍

Idk how else to describe my schools system

[wet sigil]

So i am studying as a junior in high school but i am confused what to go with in college so i can have a good job with good pay back in india . Please help me 🙏

[vagrant basin]

What do you mean by “go to with” ?

[late aspen]

Prolly meant major

[wraith rover]

anything that interests you. i think tech is prob something in demand

[wild lodge]

do not

dual enrollment is pretty valuable

if the college offers it, take a computer science class

but don't treat it as a free period. especially because college classes are so different. it'll end up being important

not to mention it's a good opportunity imo

[obsidian tulip]

Uhh guys

So

I kinda was stupid and took band over chemistry freshmen year

Will thst impact my college decision

Bc I'm taking Chem now as a sophomore but like does it show that I don't have enough course rigor

[fierce granite]

how do you guys think i should approach asking my counselors to take ap calc freshman or soph (im rising freshman)

im planning to major in math and ive seen way too many people do it so why not

ive sent an email to the board of math @ my hs previously but they shut down the idea p quick

any ideas? my school is like notoriously strict and never places kids in higher classes and stuff its a pain in the ass

[coarse sigil]

Take them for a placement exam

*ask

[peak fiber]

W plan?

ive revised this like 20x

should have taken dual credit us hist but too late now

[fierce granite]

they denied

[modest walrus]

okk thanks!! im just so sad bc my school has this computer science pathway (and i have to take ap csp), but since my schedule doesn't allow for it then i can't complete the pathway as a senior :((( and it hurts me more cuz my friend got the class and i didn't in time...

and it was my original idea to do these specific two classes (sorry im ranting) its just ughhhhhhh im so sad

[mossy stratus]

Is this for high school?

[cinder gorge]

Anyone taking differential equations?

[safe granite]

Did u do prerequisites

[opaque shell]

AP Classes useful for someone who wants to go into Electrical and Computer Engineering?

[full tinsel]

Yes 👍👍👍

[opaque shell]

I mean what AP classes are useful

[robust carbon]

Physics, Math.

[coarse sigil]

any math, science, and computer science aps

[golden cobalt]

where im from, theres literally no ap's, honors, and DE courses, what should i do

[nocturne bear]

self-study for AP?

wait where r u from, if u dont mind

[olive vale]

is dual enrollment worth it? what exactly is it? how does it work? any guidance would be appreciated.

[nocturne bear]

if u can maintain a decent grade then definitely

cuz it allows u to stay 1 yr ahead (i believe) of most other ppl from the same grade

[olive vale]

do dual enrollment courses have to be articulated in the hs transcript?

or can I just take courses from community. college

because I am planning to take a business course from it, but it wont be like articulated into my hs transcript

[nocturne bear]

wait so what dual enrollment courses do u plan on taking

[olive vale]

I did the equivalent of ap us history and articulated it into my transcript, and now I am planning to take two business classes, but they wont be articulated into my hs transcript for credits, but I will still report these courses on the uc app? recognized as dual enrollment?

[nocturne bear]

ohh wait im pretty sure most should be although u might want to check the university website cuz they would prob specify whether or not they take these pre-matriculation credentials into consideration as degree credit

[feral lava]

Hello, I am thinking of going into the medical field. Should I take ap chem? I already have 5 APs (Seminar, Physics, Stats, USH, Precalc) and I didnt learn much from advanced chem, but the teacher goes over most of the topics covered in adv chem so its pretty easy ig. So should I take study hall instead and do ap chem another year or do ap chem this year (my other classes are pretty easy and I have chill teachers for my ap classes)?

[grim wind]

Consider the options

If you take AP Chem this year, what would be the drawbacks? And what would be the benefits of taking it later instead of right now?

[feral lava]

Well the drawbacks would be that I would have a lot of coursework and exams this year (and I would have to go on the grind AP week/may). The benifits is that I can do AP Biology Junior year (Im a sophomore corrently) and Bio 3 Senior year (I would also not have to do bio and chem together).

[full tinsel]

How does this look for a potiential senior year schedule

[silk trout]

rn im self studying it

js got to the laplace transform

[late aspen]

CLEP

But check if your desired colleges accept it

Top colleges tend to not

Also you can self study AP exams

[late aspen]

W

[ripe geyser]

Is one year of language or another ap more valuable (my school doesn't offer ap versions of foreign languages)

I'm in junior rn

[late aspen]

AP > honors > regular

[ripe geyser]

Even for foreign languages?

[late aspen]

Also try to get at least 2 credits in foreign languages

[late aspen]

Yeah

[ripe geyser]

I only get regular foreign language

It's either I take 2 years of mandarin or I take one year and replace the next year with like ap stats or something

[late aspen]

You can put that in the additional information section on a college application

[late aspen]

Colleges require at least 2 credits in foreign languages

Some require 3 or 4 but you gotta check yourself

[ripe geyser]

Hmm since I just moved schools I have 2 years in freshman and soph for mandarin, but I'm just thinking whether or not to get 3 years and 1 ap or full 4 years

Since the AP would probably be an AP Stats or AP CSP or AP humanities stuff like geo eu history

[late aspen]

You should check with your desired colleges to see how many foreign languages you need

[ripe geyser]

USC and Stanford say 3-4, but stuff like the UCs are 2 years A-G and I'm international so I don't think I'm includerd in that

[lyric viper]

how do all feel about taking a zero period freshman year?

[full tinsel]

Wut is a zero period?

[royal surge]

I need help finding a textbook online but there so many websites with virus and I don't want to risk it any suggestions

[silent sierra]

I am a morning person, but i feel that it would be difficult trying to get a full 8 hours of sleep if you need to wake up that early. I've already done it and it wasn't the greatest taking a class that early.

[fair forge]

libgen

[drifting plinth]

for junior year should i take us history over the summer so i free a spot for elective and take ap csp and ap psychology

[flint yarrow]

what ap classes should i take as a freshman?

[coarse sigil]

arent you incoming sophmore?

[flint yarrow]

no

freshman

[coarse sigil]

why c/o 2027 then?

you're c/o 2028

[flint yarrow]

sorry

thats a mistake

btw im a freshman

[coarse sigil]

but usually freshman take

apes, ap world, aphug

yeah

[wanton stream]

I can show you my classes as an incoming freshman

I just got my schedule today

[flint yarrow]

is stats too much for a freshman?

[flint yarrow]

sure

[coarse sigil]

normally senior year

but u can take it if u want

[flint yarrow]

i was thinking ap csp ap stat ap precalc

[flint yarrow]

k

[coarse sigil]

ap stats is right after ap calc bc usually

[flint yarrow]

ok

[wanton stream]

I’m taking French 3 Honors, Biology GT, US History GT, Comp Sci Principles AP, Lifetime Fit, Health I, and English 9 GT

oh and Calculus AB AP

[flint yarrow]

great

so 2 aps

APs

[wanton stream]

yeah

i couldn’t do any more

[coarse sigil]

calc AB 😭

wtf

[wanton stream]

I think I’m the only Freshman at my school taking that

[coarse sigil]

real

thats a real flex

u better get a 5

[wanton stream]

But I know a lot of other districts have Freshman doing it also

[flint yarrow]

i am saving it for sophmore year

[wanton stream]

Hopefully

[coarse sigil]

are u in the US?

[wanton stream]

Good luck!

[flint yarrow]

taking precalc rn

[wanton stream]

Yes

[coarse sigil]

what state

cal?

[wanton stream]

No

Maryland

[coarse sigil]

should;ve taken it over the summer

[coarse sigil]

dam

[wanton stream]

I did Precalc in 8th grade and it was pretty light

[coarse sigil]

😭

[wanton stream]

they dont offer AP Precalc tho

[flint yarrow]

actually im not from US

[coarse sigil]

im taking pre calc sophmore year

[wanton stream]

Oh

where you from?

[coarse sigil]

ngl i would've taken ab over the summer

[flint yarrow]

india

[coarse sigil]

[wanton stream]

An AP over the summer?

[coarse sigil]

yeah

my school allows that

[wanton stream]

that would’ve messed up my whole schedule though

[flint yarrow]

i have to self study for AP

[coarse sigil]

gotcha

[wanton stream]

good luck!

[wanton stream]

actually maybe not if I did Stats

[coarse sigil]

future major?

[wanton stream]

but I dont think they would allow me to do an AP over the summer

[wanton stream]

i dont know yet

[coarse sigil]

gotcha

[coarse sigil]

i would recommend finding out what interests you and gear your courses towards that

no rush tho

[wanton stream]

subject wise I like politics and math

[coarse sigil]

math major

real

[wanton stream]

and some philosophy too but more as a side for myself rather than a career

[coarse sigil]

could be like

major math, minor politics

poli sci

[wanton stream]

probably

my dad always tells me I wont make much money with math though and I should focus more on comp sci

[coarse sigil]

really hard

to get into

for top colleges

[wanton stream]

I dont find comp sci that interesting but i decided to take the comp sci course to make him feel better

[wanton stream]

wdym?

like majoring in comp sci?

[coarse sigil]

cs is the most competitive major arguably

[wanton stream]

oh

[coarse sigil]

personally, i wouldn't ruin my chances

[flint yarrow]

just wanting to ask
what career can i have in music

[coarse sigil]

erm

dont major in music

[flint yarrow]

no minor

[flint yarrow]

thats really risky

ill major in chemistry i think

[coarse sigil]

eh

its wtv

[north turret]

guys im knew here and i was wondering if you think architecture is a good choice

like is it future-proof

[north turret]

i have a few relatives that are architects would it be a good idea to ask them what is it about

they will most definitely say that architecture is good for me just bc they are architects

[coarse sigil]

then ask personal questiosn not generic ones, ask them fot you to shadow them for a day

[silk trout]

he's probably right ab the money thing if youre only getting a bachelors in math but w a masters or phd you can probably make more but if you LIKE math then money really shouldnt be a factor after youre able to live comfortably

[wanton stream]

Any career ideas with math?

[full tinsel]

Physics liek me 🤓🤓🤓

[silk trout]

research at a university

[wanton stream]

Thank you

[wraith nest]

what other classes should i change to improve my gpa

[zealous raft]

finally in an ap class

my first two

[zealous raft]

try to switch world to ap world

then that’s it

to get good gpa u gotta get good grades

so don’t take too many super difficult classes

[robust carbon]

Two AP Historys?

[zealous raft]

yup

[wraith nest]

ty

[robust carbon]

Dang.

Might cook or be cooked.

[buoyant snow]

Hey guys, I wanted to ask about senior year courses. so I asked for 4 aps this year, they only gave me 3 and an honor I had on my alternate, and my school has 20 aps around

so this year I have 3 aps 4 honors 1 dual enrollment which counts as ap credit, which is a bit lower than my junior year, is that fine

do colleges care that much

it’s about the same as my sophomore year, 4 aps 4 honors

[lyric orchid]

rn im in stats honors but there are a few kids so they mixed it in with the ap stats kids, they said if i wanted to I could switch into ap stats, ap is just a bit more rigor and work they said, idk if im up to the challange of taking it on? What do you guys think

i was thinking about trying the class for a few weeks and if i am ready i will switch

[hot dagger]

Hi so I’m wondering if I should take honors chemistry or normal, and if I should take it over the summer

I’m in honors biology right now and I have an a for both semesters so far with some effort. However, I’ve heard chemistry is a lot harder than bio and many recommend just doing normal chem

[cinder gorge]

(I personally have not taken chemistry nor honors, so I may be wrong)

From what I have heard as well, honors chem and just normal chem is difficult. So I would not recommend doing online unless you absolutely HAVE to or you learn better online. If you prefer hands-on experience and learn better with it, I wouldn’t do online.

As for honors or not, it really depends on how much you like chemistry. If you enjoy it a lot and enjoy a heavier work-load, then go for it!

Hope that helps a bit!

[hollow forge]

honestly i had honors chem and it i enjoyed it, one thing that you need to really do is pay attention because if you turn around for 2 mins then everything can go downhill, but overall chemistry is fun when you understand it

[blazing rain]

I’m thinking of taking AP Gov next year just to have some more APs on my transcript (and maybe for a bit of a GPA boost as well). For anyone who’s taken it previously, was it difficult for you?

What did the coursework look like?

[pastel fable]

i took honors chem last year. people say it’s more difficult because biology is memorizing terms mainly, while chemistry has a lot more math. if you enjoy math, it’s the class for you; but even as someone who doesn’t like math, i really enjoyed the class because i’m interested in science. however i think normal and honors aren’t too different, from what i understand honors just goes deeper into the concepts.

[turbid anchor]

hold up what is honors

[cinder gorge]

Higher level classes! So there’s mainstream classes such as World History as an example. Then there’s World History Honors which has a higher workload and bigger reward.

Honors classes typically are weighted and can move your GPA a lot (especially if you fail).

It is a bit easier to look it up though. I recommend looking up AP classes and the difference of that and “normal” classes!

[turbid anchor]

are they the same as ap or harder

[cinder gorge]

Honors is typically easier than AP and is seen as a prep for AP. Currently, I’m taking World History Honors and it is preparing me to take AP US History for next year/junior year. (Prep as in workload, expectations, etc.)

Sometimes they can be harder though, depending on the person.

[pastel fable]

ap is at a college level, and is structured like a college course, while honors is just going deeper into the concepts from the regular class equivalent

[turbid anchor]

ok that makes sense, im ending my 8th grade year now so im trying to wrap my head up with how high school classes work

my geometry teacher's name is mr. savage

that is the definition of a menace name

for next year

[eternal kraken]

Does anyone know what chem honors lab is?

Or is that the same as chem honors

[eternal kraken]

LMAO

[turbid anchor]

probably the same but im not sure

[eternal kraken]

ok cool

[cinder gorge]

If you need any help with classes and stuff, lmk! I’m a freshman, but have a few upperclassmen friends so I’m well rounded.

[turbid anchor]

im gonna be a freshman so ima prob ask for help at some point KEKW

i already know what my schedule will be pretty much thank god

[cinder gorge]

Haha, I was so nervous at the beginning of the year. Trust me, it gets easier :>

[turbid anchor]

i hope ppl arent lying abt geometry being easy af

[eternal kraken]

they are lying.

[turbid anchor]

they say algebra 1 is harder LUL

[steep hill]

yo could anyone compare AP Chem and AP Physics C? (or just uh comment on one or the other) I'm interested in both chem and physics but I'm kinda trying to decide between one or the other for soph. year

[turbid anchor]

facts

[cinder gorge]

[turbid anchor]

its just fun to see what ur options are

FACTS

[cinder gorge]

I’m actually doing scheduling rn! It’s…something

[eternal kraken]

MMH

[turbid anchor]

i am taking all pre ap so pre ap geometry biology oklahoma history english 1

[pastel fable]

sameee it’s sm fun but then i regret wanting to take the hardest and most rigorous course load bc i want the ego boost 😭

[turbid anchor]

as well as spanish 2 and football

[eternal kraken]

what’s pre ap?

[turbid anchor]

an intro to ap

[wanton atlas]

taking ap bio next year so nervous

[turbid anchor]

basically for some ap classes you have to take the pre ap class

[eternal kraken]

ohhh

Okay slay

I don’t have that at my school lmao

[pastel fable]

not me thinking it’ll be a good idea to take ap chem, ap calc or stats, ap lit or honors english, apush, and comp sci principles next yr as a senior 💀

[turbid anchor]

ap calc seems impossible

[eternal kraken]

I’m taking ap calc next year

Wish me luck

[turbid anchor]

trig seems much easier from what ive seen

[pastel fable]

i don’t want to take it but i’m in pre calc so it’s the only math class left and i need 1 more math credit lol

[turbid anchor]

why not trig?

[pastel fable]

isn’t that with algebra 2?

[turbid anchor]

after algebra 2

[pastel fable]

i don’t think my school offers that as a specific course

they just combine it if u take honors algebra 2

[eternal kraken]

trig is in alg 2 and precalc but there’s not a seperate class

And the fundamentals in geom

[turbid anchor]

i have ez claps my morning but then i get molly wapped with back to back spanish 1 algebra 1 then science all in that order

[pastel fable]

i have ap lang then pre calc but they’re my two least favs bc of the teachers 🥲🥲

fr i hate math bc i’ve never had a good math teacher except last yr and that’s when i liked math bc i got it

my teacher this yr just doesn’t teach he goes through the problems but it doesn’t help me understand lol

[eternal kraken]

💀

[pastel fable]

and he puts problems on the tests we didn’t learn intentionally just so he doesn’t have “too many a’s”

[eternal kraken]

MY ENGLISH TEACHER EXACTLY. ^^^^

[turbid anchor]

my math teacher this year is a goat fr

[eternal kraken]

i hate the teachers that don’t answer ur questions

[pastel fable]

fr he legit said that i do well on the section he teaches us but the section of challenging problems i basically fail

[eternal kraken]

like I legit get yelled at for asking like okay..?

[pastel fable]

dang that’s weird that’s legit the main job of a teacher—

[eternal kraken]

fr someone needs to tel her what’s up 🤨

[hollow forge]

i took ap world geography my freshmen year and after that class, i promised to never take one again

not because it was hard but i think the teacher gave us too much work but didn’t really teach us well

[cinder gorge]

Honestly, it was probably the easiest math class I’ve taken next to Algebra 2, but it really depends on you and your strengths and the effort you’re willing to put in

As a rising junior, would taking AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Calc AB, APUSH, English 11, and Journalism put me on a good track for getting into universities like the UCs as a science major?

[small wedge]

hi im from india what should i go for ISC or CBSE or IB diploma after 10

[young nimbus]

As a Rising Sophomore should I take AP stat or Honors Pre calc I have an interest in engineering and will take Calc later if not next year

[cinder gorge]

At my school, we can’t take a break between Algebra 2 and Precalculus and as a sophomore rn, I took precalc and it’s definitely worth if you want to get to Calc. If I took AP Stats this year, my school wouldn’t have allowed me to take precalc or Calc, but I am allowed to take AP Stats junior or senior year

[young nimbus]

Do colleges look at senior classes because if they don’t I might be better off taking AP Calc Junior year than senior if I have an interest in Engineering

What do u think?

[mighty fulcrum]

Colleges do look at which classes you’re gonna take senior year but they only really care about your first semester’s grades. Overall tho, senior year matters a bit less than other years (Bc of that).

I would say if you can, def take ap calc junior year

Precalc is a pretty good precursor to calc (tho their is still a decently steep jump imo...) so I’d say take precalc in your sophomore year so you can take ap calc after and then if you want, take ap stats senior year

[young nimbus]

Thank you I’m a bit worried about what to take because I don’t want to screw my self over would the gap of Calculus for a year ? make my stock go down

[young nimbus]

Thanks my school doesn’t offer AP Science classes for sophomores will I be at a disadvantage?

[vale compass]

okay, so i consulted a friend at my school who’s gotten into one of my target schools with the same major and she will be taking 8 APs. thankfully, i plan to take the same amount and coincidentally the same ones (except for like two). the two differences between us is that she has more ecs (i will work on those this year and next year) and that she took AP classes in this sequence:
sophomore: 1
junior: 2
senior: 5
my sequence will be this:
junior: 3
senior: 5
will i have an equal, more, or less possibility than her to get into the same desired uni?

[cinder gorge]

isnt it better to do 4 ap courses in junior and 4 in senior

[vale compass]

i will only be eligible to take those 5 in senior year bc i need to take the junior classes as prerequisites

[cinder gorge]

Hello, I wanted to ask if there are french student in high school here by an chance because I’m struggling a lot for choose my future “speciality” and I don’t know if the “histoire géopolitique” one is good or not

[cinder gorge]

I’m in the French system. Depends on what you want to do TBH. I chose maths, PC & NSI in 1re

[wind void]

Can someone please help? I need help with deciding to do math 2 and math 3 in freshmen year or should I do math 2 in freshmen, and then math 3 + pre calc in sophmore?

[cinder gorge]

ohhh et du coup ça consiste en quoi NSI principalement ? Personne nous explique les différentes spé donc j’en connais quasi aucunes

[cinder gorge]

NSI je fais ça par le CNED, on parle d'histoire de l'informatique et de la programmation en différents langages principalement

okayy merci !

[pastel fable]

idk what math 2 or 3 are but pre calc is really hard and u have to devote a lot of time to practicing and studying in order to do well and understand the concepts so i’d suggest taking just pre calc one year depending on how difficult those other two are

[odd abyss]

Those are North Carolina classes right?

[wind void]

No

Its high school

[odd abyss]

oh ok well my school has the same naming system

[wind void]

Its IM2 and IM3

[cinder gorge]

I’m guessing that they’re similar to algebra 1, 2, and geometry and in that case, I would do math 2 and 3 in freshman year (algebra 2 and geometry I think?) and take precalc sophomore year because precalc relies heavily on algebra 2 for some of it and it’s good to have a good foundation

[cursive nebula]

hi! im currently a freshman taking biology honors and algebra 2, and i really want to study veterinary science in college, would it be a bad idea to take ap biology next year (my sophomore year) i could take it my junior/senior year but i'll also be taking ap physics 1/2

i've asked the person teaching ap bio and she said i could, but it would be challenging since i would be taking ap bio and chem at the same time

[cinder gorge]

It’s definitely doable, but it also depends on your course load. I personally am having no issue taking both chem and bio simultaneously and I see a lot of inter-lap between the two, so I feel that helps me understand better. You could also wait until your junior year and take 2 AP science class (that’s what I’m doing next year), but I’ve talked to people who have taken both AP bio and physics the same year and it’s A LOT, so unless you’re certain you can handle it, I would probably just go for it sophomore year, especially if you’re allowed to.

[knotty ermine]

what exactly do you do in computer science in uni?

and is it better to go to college or university out of highschool?

[split jasper]

My classes I want to do next year (sophomore year)
English 10
Trigonometry and Statistics
AP Modern World History
Biology Honors
Chemistry Honors
Driver’s Ed
Architectural Drawing

[silk oracle]

Picked my classes for S3(8th Grade in USA I think)

English(mandatory)
Maths(mandatory)
French(mandatory)
Comp Sci
Modern History
Physics
Business Management
Chemistry

[fickle rivet]

bro how do u take chem and physics in 8th grade

[trail echo]

These will definitely be doable but good luck with APWH lol, I’m in it right now

[cinder gorge]

AP human geography is easy and hard at the same time

[brazen vale]

Next year 10th grade ‘merica

AP seminar
AP world
Algebra 2 ACC (honors for those who don’t call it accelerated)
AP chem
3ACC Spanish
International Cooking
Intro to law I

[trail echo]

Yeah honestly just know your vocabulary, I’m in AP World right now and I shouldn’t have complained about AP human

[cinder gorge]

Lol

[spice bone]

yea for sophomore year (usa) im doing AP Physics 1, Chem, IM3 Stem, Spanish 2, Leadership, AP World, and English 2 Honors

[cinder gorge]

Omg my name is Khushi too!! And yeah AP Human was a piece of cake compared to AP euro

[brazen vale]

Everyone says that APUSH is way Hardee’s when compared to euro or is it just more memorizing dates and such because the us hasn’t been around for that long

Harder

[cinder gorge]

I’ve heard the opposite actually. Everyone here says APUSH is a lot easier than euro because it focuses more on what’s happening in one place, rather than a whole continent, so everyone that’s done euro at my school flies through apush

[trail echo]

Omg hiii

[young nimbus]

Next year as a sophomore I’m taking these classes am I at a disadvantage?
English 2 (H)
Pre Calc (H)
Chemistry (H)
AP World History
Spanish 3 (H)
AP Computer Science

(H) stands for honors

[haughty jacinth]

I want to take (Next year as a sophmore)
Accel Pre Calc
Ap Chem
Ap World History
(English II & Spanish II is must take)
Any advice/experiences?

[cinder gorge]

Nope, that’s pretty much my current schedule as a sophomore and it’s quite rigorous, so it will look great

[cinder gorge]

I’m not sure how that will go down with your counselor as my school specifically requires you to take 6 classes as a sophomore, but they may let you go as the first three are rigorous. Maybe take an elective that you enjoy for a 6th?

[haughty jacinth]

No I’m taking 7 lmao

Including varsity tennis and guitar ensemble

I can take 8 in my junior year

[cinder gorge]

Ohh ok lol

[cinder gorge]

Don’t

[haughty jacinth]

🤩

[cinder gorge]

Especially if you’re going for APs

Trust me you don’t want to

[haughty jacinth]

Hmm

[cinder gorge]

I’d say 6 is ideal for junior year max 7

[haughty jacinth]

Ima take accel chinese iv in my senior year to raise my gpa

Junior year I’m taking accel Spanish thre

[cinder gorge]

Are you going to drop Spanish senior year?

[haughty jacinth]

Most likely

Unless I need another scd course

I’ll have to take Spanish iv

[cinder gorge]

I wouldn’t

Yeah take Spanish 4

Or you could skip to AP Spanish if you’re good

[haughty jacinth]

hmm

But why not accel chinese IV?

[cinder gorge]

I mean it might balance out if you take accel Chinese 4

[haughty jacinth]

it can raise my gpa to 5.0

[cinder gorge]

But idk it might look off to take 3 years of Spanish and suddenly drop it for Chinese

Why didn’t you take Chinese from the start?

[haughty jacinth]

i passed the level of chinese fluency the school can offer

so im taking spanish lol

[haughty jacinth]

which is accel chinese 4

[young nimbus]

Thanks I’m thinking about taking Spanish 3 online and go to Spanish 4 so I can drop it next year.

[cinder gorge]

I mean maybe go for both senior year then if you really want to take Chinese

[haughty jacinth]

idk my chinese might be really bad in 3 years

thx tho for the advice

[cinder gorge]

Yup, I’m taking Spanish 4 over the summer and then I’m done for the rest of high school 😎

[cinder gorge]

Didn’t you just say you were going to take it senior year lol

[haughty jacinth]

yeah

but i figured i wouldn't have the confidence to say im ready to take accel chinese 4 in 3 years

[young nimbus]

The class is boring imo want to get it done ASAP same for you?

[cinder gorge]

Fair enough

[cinder gorge]

Honestly, I’m taking Spanish 3 in school rn and it is the worst

[haughty jacinth]

how do u guys take so many credit courses in the summer

[cinder gorge]

Spanish is my least favorite and hardest class of my whole schedule which is the almost the same as yours lol

[haughty jacinth]

our school only offers algebra I geometry algebra two pre calc bio physics and anatomy

[cinder gorge]

If precalc is easier than Spanish 3 that’s saying something

[young nimbus]

Yeah the teacher for mine is horrible I heard I can’t do that at all

[cinder gorge]

I get counselor approval

[haughty jacinth]

wow

[cinder gorge]

Mine too lol

[haughty jacinth]

may i ask which highschool u attend?

[cinder gorge]

For math and science?

[cinder gorge]

Me?

[young nimbus]

This is the first time I’m asking they have said u can

[haughty jacinth]

Yes

[cinder gorge]

I don’t feel comfortable sharing that, but I’m from California

[haughty jacinth]

all summer courses

well there is 9th grade transitional writing course too

[cinder gorge]

Oh I don’t take them through school

[haughty jacinth]

but that's not a credit course

[young nimbus]

I’ll say the county it’s Guildford

[cinder gorge]

I take them separate

[haughty jacinth]

that's allowed?!?!?

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

[haughty jacinth]

dang

very nice

[cinder gorge]

As long as it’s UC approved (university of California)

[haughty jacinth]

hm ok

[cinder gorge]

And I’m aiming for cal so it works out

[haughty jacinth]

cal tech?

[young nimbus]

Ooh what major?

[haughty jacinth]

or like any uc colleges

[cinder gorge]

No

UC Berkeley

[cinder gorge]

Still trying to figure that out, but something in the fields of bio or chem

[haughty jacinth]

very nice

[cinder gorge]

Maybe biotech

No idea yet

[haughty jacinth]

biochemistry

lol

[haughty jacinth]

is that the only one?

[cinder gorge]

Yes lol I like bio chem but that’s generally a more research focused major

[cinder gorge]

No

[young nimbus]

I really wanna go to duke

[cinder gorge]

There’s UCLA, UCSB, UCSD, UC Merced, UCI, UC Davis, UC riverside, and I think that’s all? Not sure but I’m mainly aiming UC Berkeley and LA cause those are the top ones and then UC Davis and SB cause those ones are really good too

[cinder gorge]

That’s cool! Our family friend got into duke but went to UC Berkeley

[haughty jacinth]

very nie

nice*

[haughty jacinth]

Can you answer this lol

[cinder gorge]

Giving out my high school would be giving out the location I live lol

[haughty jacinth]

kk no problem

[cinder gorge]

Not great on online platforms unless I know you personally

[young nimbus]

Yeah I really like UC Berkeley but the cost looks to much especially for me cause I’m out of state

[cinder gorge]

That’s true, they’re all a lot more out of state

[haughty jacinth]

well ty for the advice

i have to work on nhd now

i procastinated for two weeks lmao

[cinder gorge]

Oh I did NHD!

[cinder gorge]

Lol gl

[haughty jacinth]

which option did you do

[cinder gorge]

I did a website 3 years ago

Triumph and tragedy

[haughty jacinth]

wow

very nice

ok

[haughty jacinth]

ty

time to speedrun

[drowsy delta]

looks like a scam

[terse trout]

🚩

[dusk sand]

Guys how do I know if I should take AP Physics 1? There are 2 options for physics, and idk what to pick. There is AP Physics and regular. What should I know before taking AP Physics?

[spice bone]

there is a lot of math

its all AL1 and 2

[young kiln]

do i need precal for ap physics 1?

[quartz minnow]

check your school course catalog, I think it varies across districts but for me I do need it.

[young kiln]

is ap lit an easy class?
