<ol>
<li>No idea.</li>
<li>English, Spanish 4, Chemistry, Middle East History, Algebra 2, History and the Arts (no advanced classes. Also can’t take APs yet)</li>
<li>School doesn’t rank</li>
</ol>
<p>To Studious: 70 + 34’s/35’s on practice ACT exams. Obviously work needs to be done, but that’s what I have the summer for!</p>
<p>To nate42:</p>
<ol>
<li>Probably UChicago/Brown at the moment, but these things can change in the blink of an eye.</li>
<li>English 10 Honors, Geometry Honors (Yeah, weird, I know. Unlike most conventional school districts, my district mandates that all Honors students take Alg II before Geometry. I’ll be taking Pre Calc H next year), AP US History, French II Honors, Honors Chemistry, Driver Education.</li>
<li>Numero Uno</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Most likely a Public Ivy (Miami University, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, ect.) </li>
<li>I’d rather not discuss what I’m taking THIS YEAR due to complications in my schedule (I’ll talk about the whole story when I have the time). </li>
<li>I would assume I’m, at the very least, in the top 10% of the class. </li>
</ol>
<p>Ah, might as well list the classes I’m taking in the future.</p>
<p>Junior year:
- APUSH (only juniors in my district can take this course)
- AP Language and Composition
- Algebra II Honors
- Physics Honors
- World History Honors
- German III
- SAT Prep (I’ve heard it’s actually a very good program at my school) </p>
<ul>
<li>Pre-Calculus summer school between junior and senior year. </li>
</ul>
<p>Senior year:
- AP Calculus AB
- AP Physics B
- AP European History
- AP Literature and Composition
- AP Statistics
- AP Microeconomics
- U.S. History Honors (no AP Govt. in my school)
- Drawing (I need one more fine arts credit in order to graduate. Figure this one would be the easiest).</p>
<p>Wow all of you guys have pretty challenging courses. My school offers only 1 AP course in a actual classroom so I have to take all of my AP classes online.</p>
<p>Sorry to just pop in here… But has anyone heard of American music abroad trips? I just got a letter about it today, but I can’t really find much information.</p>
<p>@jereve: No, I haven’t. Maybe a scam or something.</p>

<p>1) I’m not sure. Hopefully a top 10 school that is strong in math and science. My dream is one of the HYPSM.
2) AP Biology, AP World History, Math Analysis (Precalculus + Calculus A), Chemistry, English 10 Honors, Latin 3, and PE/Driver’s Ed.
3) 1/330+</p>
<p>@evanb it’s legit, I know upperclassman from my school have gone but I don’t personally know them.</p>
<p>If you can go abroad, do it. Seriously. I’m spending my entire sophomore year as an exchange student in China, and I cannot even begin to describe how worthwhile and rewarding it has been so far. Dooooooo it.</p>
<p>Oh, and as for the questions:
- Dunno, honestly. I’d like to go to Cambridge, but that could be a bit tough ha…
- APUSH, AP English Literature, AP Economics (Micro and Macro), Honors Precalc, Honors Chem, Chinese History and Culture, Photography, and Chinese III
- Back home, I’m 5/780.</p>
<p>I’ve always wanted to go overseas, but my parents don’t want me to go. I really wanted to do a People to People program this summer in either England or China, but they weren’t too keen about it. But, I’m definitely planning on going abroad during college, most likely in Europe or Asia.</p>

<p>There is an Amalfi Coast music festival and some other ones I know of during the summer overseas (and a zillion Suzuki ones) if you are looking for that sort of thing. Actually Hotchkiss has their own program at the Amalfi Coast one but others can go too. What instrument?</p>
<p>My friend and I were just talking about class rank. Personally, I hate the whole “ranking” mentality; I’d much rather go to a school that doesn’t rank. It gets rather cutthroat, even at my crappy public school. </p>
<p>Maybe I’m just whining because my grades have dropped (it’s too easy to get lazy and blow off schoolwork) and I know I won’t be able to maintain my rank… </p>
<p>Fmlfmlfml. <em>Sighs</em></p>
<p>I like class rank. It gives credit to those who work hard.</p>
<p>I’ve officially signed up for the May 2012 SAT Math II Subject Test. Wish me luck guys! (Oh, and does anyone want to do it with me?)</p>
<p>I like and dislike class rank. I like it because it shows who works the hardest in the class. But, I dislike it because it creates a competitive spirit that overshadows the true meaning of education, which is learning.</p>
<p>Studious, I’d be willing to take it with you. But, I don’t have any money, unless I scrounge up some before then. I don’t know, but April and May are stressful months for me because of exams, final grades, planning for summer, and church stuff.</p>

<p>My school district believes in the idea of class rank rewarding hard workers, so they’ve preserved it after much public outcry in the community. But, to stop any emotions from arising at graduation (as if that would happen), they don’t recognize Valedictorians and Salutatorians. You win some, you lose some.</p>
<p>Also, good luck Studious!</p>
<p>I got my first English quiz back today and I got an 89. I feel such an idiot that I forgot the 4 ways to correct run-ons. Good thing quizzes are only worth 5%.</p>
<p>Sent from my ADR6350 using CC App</p>
<p>^^^ Your quizzes are only worth 5%!!! You’re so lucky! My quizzes are counted anywhere from 20-50%. It SUCKS. </p>
<p>I missed a dumb question on a quiz today too. (Which dead Greek guy inspired Renaissance painters? Plato. NOT Socrates.) Sadly, no one got that question right.</p>
<p>Just for English. I don’t see how the teacher has participation for 10% and quizzes as 5%. I was confused, but I didn’t question her.</p>

<p>Today was class recommendation day at our school and I caved and signed up for AP Physics. Anyone else plan on taking AP Physics next year? We could start an online study group of sorts!</p>
<p>@catch In my math class, our teacher weights our quizzes at 80%!</p>
<p>Im taking AP Physics next year along with AP chem, and then AP Physics II my senior year :)</p>
<p>Study group would be legit =P</p>
