SOMEONE HELP ME!!!! I have done so well my whole high school career and now i am in 6 AP classes and just feel overwhelmed. i know you are going to yell at me that I overloaded myself but would colleges rather see the Bs in the AP classes or the straight As with one or two APs???

I. Cant. Wait. Until. Senior. Year.

AP Chem isn't so bad. AP Calc AB is kinda kicking my butt though!

I can't even THINK about spring when all the AP exams come up/SAT Subject tests/SATs..
I'm barely making it through this semester! Mostly getting to sleep around midnight/1am which isnt that late but doing that for most of the week is pretty exhausting!

I'm hoping this'lll be the hardest year because next year my courseload will lighten up because Calc BC is wayyy easier than AB (took me a while to process the derivative/integral stuff hah) and I'll have AP Chem out of the way and all my Subject Tests. Only SAT/College apps to worry about next year...

AHHH

i am hoping colleges like b's in ap's better..b/c that's what i'm getting..i just took my finals..and got 80s on both ap chem/ap stats..which have literally just killed my grades...i am just waiting for this week to be over..

i cant wait until i can apply, get in, and get out of high school.

I think colleges WILL look more favorably if you get a B in an AP classes vs. an A in a regular class. I mean, obviously it's more challenging and it shows you're willing to work harder. And you can still get college credit if you do well on the AP exam. In fact, many people with Bs in AP classes..or even Cs in my school..still manage to get that 5 on the AP exam.

Spruce--I couldn't agree more!

This week has been hell. Can't wait till the holidays.

Senior year is harder and more stressful than junior year for me, but I have also doubled the amount of AP's that I took in junior year. Junior year wasn't even that different from sophomore year, they were about the same level of difficulty.

lol so yeah this quarter is worse than last :[ I actually pulled off a 94 first quarter but this quarter i have a 78 so far.

Junior year sucks, but wait until you get to your senior year. That's REALLY going to suck!

powerbomb · 12-17-2008, 06:53 PM

I'm in IB also. It's killing me. I have 4 B's, when previously I've had straight A's. I'm on about 5 hours of sleep per night and have no social life lol.

But I'm so glad I took it

chill man!
i am full IB with AP USH, as well as an additional French course so that I don't have a lunch, and I got 2 B's and 7 A's, and I'm aiming for Penn also.
But the B's aren't scaring me, and I think you'll be fine! Good Luck!
