<p>Hi guys~</p>
<p>I’m currently in 8th grade, and am slightly worried about my future high school class ranking.
My 9th grade schedule will be:
AP Calc BC
AP Chem
Honors L.A.
Japanese
AP USH or Euro
Fundamentals of Programming (No idea if this is considered honors)
6th period varsity baseball</p>
<p>So this would put my GPA at either 4.57 or 4.7, which at Troy High would probably rank me anywhere from 15-20. Is there anyway to raise this? </p>
<p>Thanks~</p>
<p>Yea, don’t play baseball. Think about it, does anyone at Harvard besides the baseball team play baseball? no. It’s that simple really, don’t play baseball = get in to Harvard. Your welcome.</p>
<p>take AP Baseball and AP lunch. That’ll raise your gpa by approximately .4, putting you in the 4-10 range.</p>

<p>I’ve been playing baseball since I was three, and I’ll make varsity as a freshman. Plus, you have to take two P.E.'s anyways.</p>
<p>crying at 609’s response</p>
<p>Good point.</p>
<p>if ur not a ■■■■■…jesus christ kid. you’re in 8th grade.</p>
<p>Yes, but Troy is extremely competitive.</p>
<p>You want to raise your class rank? Then you should take:</p>
<p>Algebra 1
Earth Science
English SDAIE
History SDAIE
PE
Art</p>
<p>As a senior, I can tell you that piling up on so many AP’s so early in your high school life might actually have an adverse effect. You’re taking some of the most difficult AP classes ever devised. Calc BC, at least my school, was 1000x harder than the material covered on the actual AP exam since our teacher (math team coach) gave out hard tests. I self- studied AP chem but I’ve heard that most schools in our area purposely make it into a hard class to get an A in. Most APUSH courses involve a great deal of readings so it’s going to take up a huge chunk of your study time. </p>
<p>I think you should cut back on the AP’s for your first year. Maybe you are extremely advanced in math so Calc BC makes sense. I would take an honors science class as well as a regular history class, because it takes at least a year for most middle schoolers to transition to the pace of high school life. Of course, you can always stack up on AP’s your sophomore and junior yr.</p>
<p>Iced: I’m taking Honors Chemistry right now and I’m quite bored with 107%.</p>
<p>So, does everyone at Troy High have no life?</p>
<p>I’m not currently at Troy. </p>
<p>Don’t hate.</p>
<p>Hey man, education works best as a collaboration, not a competition 
</p>
<p>I’m not hating, I’m being serious. That kind of schedule at my school is unheard of for a freshman. I mean, I’ll have a similar schedule next year, as a junior. And at my school, the highest ranked sophomore has a GPA of 4.22</p>
<p>did you even need to make this thread since apparently you’re perfect?</p>
<p>why ■■■■■?</p>
<p>How do you have a 107 in any class? I don’t have ANY extra cred opportunities. Also, did your tryouts go well?</p>
<p>Are the majority of the people at your school taking AP BC Calculus next year? Also, how many people in your middle school go to Troy high school to take high school classes(in middle school)?</p>
<p>um, OP. you do realize a lot of people on this thread are being sarcastic right?</p>
<p>you should relax. you seem to be on the right track. just keep doing what you’re doing and stop worrying</p>
