<p>Nice and:</p>
<p>Majors: Radiology, Epidemiology and Biochemistry.</p>
<p>Minor: Spanish and Genetic Engineering.</p>
<p>So, today was the Conference tournament for my Scholastic Bowl team. Before today, our record was dismal (4-7), but we (for some ridiculously bizarre and unknown reason) ended up being undefeated for most of the tournament, later losing two games (predictable losses), but still pulling a 3rd place finish out of 8 schools, while also beating many of the other schools that’ve shamed us. I also was in the top 10 individual scorers (out of 65+ kids) for JV! All in all, 'twas a good day.</p>
<p>I think I’ll most likely major in Aerospace Engineering or Mech. Engineering with an aerospace specialization… no idea about a minor though.</p>
<p>Anaychi, nice! After a great season, our team did quite the opposite at the district tournament. We lost by 10 points (one question) to a rival school, which knocked us out. It was pretty devastating. But there’s always next year!</p>
<p>Have you guys taken online classes before?</p>
<p>I am currently taking Honors Psychology online. I am only in the first unit, which is on methods, research, and history. I can’t wait to move on to the brain and nervous system.</p>
<p>I think that I mentioned my possible college majors and minors like 50 pages back, but I’ll put them up here again.</p>
<p>Majors: Biochemistry, Chemistry, or Biology</p>
<p>Minors: Statistics, Spanish, Mathematics, or Business</p>

<p>Majors: Biochemistry, Biology, Neuroscience, anything useful for the Biomedical sciences (as you can tell I haven’t put much thought into this yet)
Minors: Music</p>
<p>My piano teacher keeps insisting I do a double major of some sort, with piano/music being one of them, since she says it’d be a pity for me to drop it. I’d love to do that, but I don’t know how realistic that’d sound especially since I’m most likely pursuing the medical field. =/</p>
<p>I’ve only taken online health over the summer; but that’s a good idea, maybe I should try online courses. I’ve always had the (incorrect?) impression that online courses barely teach anything though.</p>
<p>Have any of you guys done internships thus far?</p>
<p>@evanb1996: Awesome!
Have you taken Physics yet?
I am thinking about doing Honors Physics next year, then AP Physics B online, senior year.
I am hoping AP Physics B won’t be too challenging since I am taking it online.</p>
<p>Add Education and Psychology as minors to my post!</p>
<p>I am doing a paid internship with a science program for students in grades kindergarten through 8th grade that teaches aeronautics and space topics. It is through NASA. This program has actually makes me want to go and teach for a few years after college (either through TFA, a similar program, or just earning my license the regular way). </p>
<p>@nate42: I took Honors Physics. It was not all that hard (due to the teacher and the caliber of students in the class), but I would imagine that it is hard. AP Physics is usually a subject that gives many people trouble.</p>

<p>@upinflight: Online classes do teach you alot. It is just that many people just find ways to cheat the system and then learn nothing from the class. If you take notes and study, then you will learn something.</p>

<p>How many years/terms of gym are you guys required to take?</p>
<p>@Studious I can’t wait for next year. Schol Bowl was a lot more exhilarating that I thought!</p>
<p>@jennay Gym is mandatory all four years in my state.</p>
<p>As for prospective majors: Neurobiology, Artificial Intelligence, Neuroscience, Biochemistry, Microbiology. I want to do something regarding public health and/or the prolonging and strengthening of the human race, be it through biological or singularitarian means.</p>
<p>@jennay12345: At my school only 1 credit is required = 1 semester of Health/PE.</p>
<p>@evanb1996: Yes, I have heard that AP Physics is among the hardest AP courses available. This is why I am taking a semester of Honors Physics in order to prepare myself for it.</p>
<p>@jennay</p>
<p>In my state, 2 credits are required for P.E. Which is the equivalent of, I think, 1 semester (or 2 trimesters, like at my school).</p>
<p>@jennay: At my school, you only have to do one semester of gym.</p>
<p>Sent from my ADR6350 using CC</p>
<p>Same. Gym is only required for one semester and another semester of Health.</p>
<p>I want to take an online class like precalculus over the summer. Does anyone know of any sites I could consider?</p>
<p>It all depends on what state you are in. North Carolina has a great one called NCVPS</p>
<p>Congrats anaychi! My major is definitely going to be biochemistry ( given that the school offers it). Biochem helps one to understand how life really works. I’ve interned in biochemistry labs before and it’s just so amazing. Using principles of biochem, cures and vaccines are being found…everything is possible. It just so cool it makes me squeal! ( yeah, I know, I’m a nerd) but… <3 <3 <3</p>
