<p>Volunteer, study Chinese and Dari, study calculus, writing contests, and move (Goodbye New York!).</p>

<p>I’m retaking Biology (raising grade from a C to an A) and Geometry (need better knowledge on the subject) over the summer. On top of that, I have to do summer reading for AP Lang. and Comp. next year. </p>
<p>Then, the summer afterwards, I’m taking a Pre-Calc course. </p>
<p>Yayyy.</p>
<p>Hey guys! I’ve just signed up for my IB diploma classes!
Orchestra
IB English Lit HL
IB Music
IB French HL
IB History of the Americas (HL)
IB Physics (HL?)
IB Theory of Knowledge
IB Math SL
Do you think that I should change to math HL? I don’t want it to look like I’m slacking, but at the same time I don’t intend to go into math/science. Has anyone on this thread taken HL?</p>
<p>Hey jerevedeparis
I was going to take Physics HL but dropped to SL, and was going to take English HL but dropped to SL (i hate english). thus, this is my schedule</p>
<p>IB Math HL
AP Calc AB (required if you take Math HL)
IB History HL
IB Spanish Lang + Lit HL
IB Eng Lang + Lit SL
IB Physics SL
IB Econ SL
IB TOK</p>
<p>it won’t look like you’re slacking because taking the full IB diploma is already considered most rigorous courseload, because not only are the classes challenging but you have EE, TOK, CAS and multiple IAs etc… Plus, if you do decide to take Math HL or Physics HL, since they are considered the hardest IB courses, it definately won’t look like you’re slacking.</p>
<p>I had the same concern as you, and I asked my College Counselor, the IB coordinator at my school and even started a thread here on CC, and everyone said in my case at least that taking 3 HLs compared to 4 won’t make or break my app.</p>
<p>If you don’t intend to go to math/sciences, then of course don’t take math HL because it’s challenging and you should take the HL classes related to the field you want to go to.</p>
<p>Hey guys! I’m a student at a prep school in PA. We start registration in April, but this is what i’m planning on taking junior year:</p>
<p>Physics 1 Honors
Latin 3
Calculus
Psychology
US History
Some English elective (will take the AP test)
Glee Club</p>
<p>Would colleges ignore me because of my lack of hard classes? Also, can you suggest colleges I could get into with anywhere from a 3.4 to a 3.6 gpa?</p>
<p>^Welcome to the thread! I would suggest honors classes if you can’t or don’t want to do AP. But taking Calculus as a junior shows a talent in math because many people don’t even make it to Calculus during high school. </p>
<p>Even though I’m not a college expert, I could see a person with a 3.4 to 3.6 GPA at East Carolina, Western Carolina, High Point, Appalachian State, or Elon University. These are only schools in NC and I am assuming that your GPA will get better as time progresses. </p>

<p>@evanb1996: Hey! Have you checked on your SVSM status lately? It says i’m a finalist!</p>
<p>@nate42: I just checked and I’m a finalist! I am emailing the person I know that works with Summer Ventures to see if I can still attend if I am accepted into NCSSM. I would love to go if it weren’t for that rule. </p>
<p>Sent from my ADR6350 using CC</p>
<p>@evanb1996: Awesome! Good job. Maybe we will be sent to the same one, and that rule stinks.</p>
<p>@nate42: That would be so amazing if that happened. I want to go to Charlotte or App State. </p>
<p>Sent from my ADR6350 using CC</p>
<p>@evanb1996: Yes it would. And haha, I want to go to the other end of the state.
My application status just changed again, did yours?</p>
<p>@nate42: Yea it did. Said application under review </p>
<p>Sent from my ADR6350 using CC</p>
<p>@evanb1996: Same here, I wonder why it switched that fast? And what about NCSSM, when will you hear from them?</p>
<p>^I hear from them on April 16. Save the date! </p>
<p>Sent from my ADR6350 using CC</p>
<p>@evanb1996: I definitely will! I will make sure to contact you on that day.</p>
<p>^&^^I just checked my SVSM and it also says application under review. Do you think its possible it was a glitch and it said finalist for everyone?</p>
<p>@Quacoh: Yes, I think so. I don’t think they would know the finalists this early. But who knows…</p>
