Reason: wrong classes
Dude...post in the main forum. I don't get it...do you want to go to Yale College or the state school first? Then how does Yale play in? And you're picking your Junior year classes already? You're still a freshman, rite? Chill out and enjoy your high school years. Do what you love to do, develop your passions. Pick the activities you love now and stick with them thru high school. And take the most challenging classes you can.
Yeah..I am picking my junior classes already. I am also picking my senior classes because I feel the best way to succeed is to be prepared. I want to go to a state college first because getting in to Yale first would be hard, especially since my school is so small. I think that maybe state college will help me make it easier. Is going to an ivy league school all people make it out to be? It is my fream well I have to go. Please reply.
P.S. In order to expand my brain power I am reading books that even the seniors say they wouldn't try reading. They are: Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Doestoveski and some of my brothers college books. Bye Bye
I forgot to say that the reason I am taking two math courses next year is so I am can have pre-calculus as a senior. I'm also thinking of taking a whole bunch of summer classes so I can take all the classes our school has to offer and maybe more. For advanced chemistry that is the highest the is, but I want to take higher. So I don't know but I am going to try, like I said, to take as many classes that our school has to offer. I'm doing this, like I said, have a better chance at the ivy league.
state school before Yale won't work. no one does that. it has to be Yale for undergrad, otherwise you'll be applying to the law school.
forget the state school if you want to go to Yale College.
I have decided that I am going to take my sat and sat II before my junior year (I just realized I am way behind)...do you think there is any chance I will get into an Ivy League.
You need to give us more info, such as, rank, gpa( W and UW), essays, recs, ec's, etc. We won't be able to give you much , if any at all information. I too by the way am a freshman, and I'm taking the most rigorous courseload possible.
