<p>Do SvSM and NCSSM both notify by their websites (i.e. status changes to ‘finalist’ if accepted and ‘non finalist’ if not) or do they send email…or even traditional snail mail?</p>
<p>T</p>
<p>@taben: I believe they notify through the websites. They may also do email probably saying ‘please check status page’ or ‘accepted’ or whatever. I’m not sure about that.</p>

<p>Hey all-how does my junior year schedule look like? I’ve been told it’s fine, but so many people at my school are doubling up on AP sciences and it’s making me a tad bit worried 
AP Latin
AP Human Geography
AP English Lang/Lit (Whichever the 11th graders take…I always forget :P)
AP United States History
Physics Honors (mandatory at our school unless you take it over the summer. It isn’t an option for me because I have a few stay-away summer programs to attend…)
Regular Precalc/Trig
Creative Writing Three
I don’t plan to get into anything science related to begin with but will sticking to what’s required hurt me in the long run? (I plan to continue math and science though, taking AP Enviro. senior year.)
Thanks!</p>
<p>^ I would take at least one real AP science (Bio, Chem, or Phys) this year and/or the next. It shows rigor and breadth of knowledge. AP Environmental is one of the easiest AP’s out there, and it doesn’t show much in the realm of difficulty.</p>
<p>Hey everyone! Could someone help me review my junior year schedule? I’m aiming for the UCs (Hopefully UCB or UCLA…) And just a note, my school literally offers about 10 APs/honors overall, and there’s only a selected 30 people who get into each class. Pretty much random lottery when it comes to apply to them since my school has 2500 students. My school only allows up to 6 periods…</p>
<p>Anyways, here’s my possible schedule:</p>
<p>US History
Spanish III
English Honors
Pre-calculus (No honors offered)
Chemistry (Honors MAY be offered next year)
AP studio art (I need my art creds to graduate)</p>
<p>I will be self-studying for the AP chemistry and AP bio exam. </p>
<p>And I’ll be taking the SATI & SATII next year.
I’m aiming for 2200+ since I got 2050 on a practice SAT.
I’ll probably taking Math I/II, Bio, Chem?, and Lit. for the subject tests.</p>
<p>shadesix, let’s help each other? I have the exact same score with the exact same goal :]</p>
<p>ANYWAY, WE ARE GOING TO BE UPPER CLASSMEN NEXT YEAR!</p>
<p>@StudiousMaximus-Do you think it would be okay if I double up on sciences as a senior? (Taking AP Enviro. and AP Bio.) I would take one or the other this year but the whole physics thing ruins my schedule :(</p>
<p>^ Yeah, that’s perfectly fine. APES is an easy AP, so doing it along with Bio shouldn’t be too bad.</p>
<p>Do you know if there’s a way to find out which specific campus you got into? I logged in this morning and it says “Finalist” but there’s no other info available… Thanks!</p>
<p>@parthct: You got into SVSM? I just checked and it says finalist. </p>

<p>Finalist as well! I’m assuming they update later through email or the website.</p>
<p>Same here! I’m a finalist for SVSM!!!</p>

<p>@evanb1996: I just read this
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/1272210-summer-ventures-science-mathematics-2.html?highlight=summer+ventures+in+science+and+mathematics[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/1272210-summer-ventures-science-mathematics-2.html?highlight=summer+ventures+in+science+and+mathematics</a></p>
<p>I’m not sure if its true though…</p>
<p>^ They never updated the website. The NCSSM thing was discussed in this year’s brochure about the program. You could always email one of the members in the Distance Learning department if you have any questions. </p>
<p>Sent from my ADR6350 using CC</p>
<p>@evanb1996: I just received info that you are allowed to attend. But NCSSM current juniors are not allowed. So you should be fine!</p>
<p>@nate: Where did you find that out from? I emailed the director last week and she said the rule still applied.</p>
<p>@evanb1996: I goggled it, it stated incoming NCSSM students can attend.</p>
<p>Would taking music theory look bad on college applications? I’m really interested in it and while I don’t want to major in music, I still love music. I’m also planning on taking the AP exam for music theory, despite it not being listed as an AP class.</p>
<p>My schedule:</p>
<p>AP Calc BC
AP Biology
AP US History
AP Literature/Composition (assuming that’s the junior level one)
AP Computer Programming
Music Theory
Wind Ensemble (top concert band)
Jazz 1 (top jazz band)</p>
<p>@evanb1996: Have you received a email notification from SVSM yet?</p>
<p>@nate42: No. But I got a new email account a few months ago, so.I’ll check that one to see.</p>
