<p>Seeing everyone’s schedules for next year–all I can say is wow! I would probably go insane if I had to double on sciences, but I guess that’s sort of why it’s my weakness!</p>
<p>It’s depressing realizing my weakness in biology, considering I’m pretty good at math. It’s so hard to figure out what I want to be if I can’t seem to find a passion in anything!</p>
<p>This year:
AP Biology
Honors Alg2/Trig
Honors English
Art
Spanish 1
Tennis</p>
<p>Next Year:
Spanish 2
AP Euro
AP Physics
Honors English
Honors Precalc
Tennis</p>
<p>Geez, AP Bio as a freshman? Bio/Honours Bio is a prereq. At our school.</p>
<p>My sophomore schedule is :</p>
<p>Latin 2
French 2
Acc. Chemistry
Acc. Algebra 2
AP Biology
Acc. World Civilizations
Acc. English 2</p>
<p>Self Study:
AP English Lit
AP U.S. Government and Politics
AP World History
AP Chemistry
AP Psychology
AP Micro/Macro Economics
and Spanish</p>
<p>(My course load will be very easy at school. Latin is ridiculous and I will do most of the homework over the summer. AP Biology is just notes and reading every night. And I’m an ACE at all things English/Reading/Writing. )</p>
<p>Afdamron, I’m sure you feel you’re capable, but self studying all those APs really could be a problem. Chem and Lit are especially difficult (even more so as self-studies). I’ve never heard of anyone doing so many. I’d advise dropping two or three. However, if you feel you’re up to the (enormous) challenge, more power to you.</p>
<p>Update: My parents urged me to sign up for a meaningful summer camp, but I fear I’ve waited (procrastinated) for too long. Instead, I’ll be doing a science and tech camp where I teach kids about STEM fields (that is, if I make it through the application process). Should I get in, I’ll be paid ten dollars an hour for my services. It sounds like an absolute blast!</p>
<p>Also, I’ve got a lot of money to spend since I didn’t sign up for a camp… I’m thinking I’ll take math analysis over the summer then take Calc BC as a sophomore. Am I insane? :D</p>
<p>Btw, Evan, are you of British descent? I noticed you spelled ‘Honors’ with a ‘u’.</p>
<p>for soph year i got the option to take ap chem but i didnt is that bad?? im doing ap stats, and for everything else highest level classes- still level 1 chem but not ap uuggh I feel like I should have done ap!</p>
<p>Whats your opinion on biology vs. chem, just wondering? i HATED biology so im hoping i’ll enjoy chem, has anyone taken a chemistry class yet and is it more interesting than bio?</p>
<p>I’m jealous my school offers the worst classes compared to these… but next year
English 10A (advanced honors)
AP Statistics
Advanced Honors
US History Advanced Honors
Spanish III Level 1
Photography/Drawing&Painting/3D Design (i won’t find out which i made it into till next year! but i’m hoping for photography)
PE ugh</p>
<p>@studious that whole camp thing sounds really cool! What’s the one you didn’t sign up for? This summer I’m rebuilding homes for a week with my church 
I’m really looking forward to giving back, because I’m blessed with so much. You know?
Oh and @evanh isn’t necessarily British… I lived in Europe when I was younger and my parents spell things like honors and favorite with a u so I did too for a while… I’m just weird though… Well maybe he is British 
that would make more sense…</p>
<p>@jennay I don’t think not taking AP chem will be a big deal, I’m taking IB chem next year which is probably similar… And I plenty of great students who aren’t going to, so if it isn’t your strength why hurt your GPA? And also AP stats?? Dang, what math are you in now?</p>
<p>By meaningful I meant productive, not charitable. I missed the deadline for a computer programming camp at American University. Although a service project sounds awesome too!</p>
<p>@Studious ahh I didn’t even think to look into camps at AU! (I live in the area)</p>
<p>Lol, where is American University? I feel really dumb for asking this.</p>
<p>@evanh DC don’t feel stupid for asking lol</p>
<p>@jereve, you lived in europe when you were younger? where? paris? My mom worked in Europe for several years when she was a grad. student. she loves it.</p>
<p>Hey where do you guys want to go to college? I kind of really want to go to an ivy. It sounds crazy I know. and it’s unheard of in our area. so idk, but I will try. I’m tired of mediocrity around me.</p>
<p>@luv2sk8 I’ll PM you I don’t really want to put it all out there lol</p>
<p>Like I’ve said before, probably Northeastern. Maaybe Cornell.</p>
<p>@jerevedeparis if youre wondering… advanced algebra 2 and geometry, and i know it’s not a big deal i just hate missing opportunities haha i worry WAY too much about college</p>
<p>ADo any of you know anyone in mit? my friends brother had perfect SAT scores- i mean PERFECT hes on varsity golf, got like 10 academic awards, national honors society, french national honors society, max honors, basically i dont know how anyone can get better than him… and he didnt get into MIT. maybe he wasn’t their type, or are they just super super selecitve?</p>
<p>@jennay that happens all the time… Colleges don’t just look at that stuff, they look for an overall perfect fit. Though that is very disheartening… I guess we all have to just try our best </p>
<p>Cornell <3 pretty much my dream. I want to apply early to the school of Human Ecology… </p>
<p>And today I found out that only 50% of people from my school go onto college… Geeeee great, right</p>
