<p>@evan: I will! I plan on going to Chapel Hill and Duke Monday. Then Davidson and Wake Forest Tuesday.</p>
<p>Hey everyone, so I’m Austin and I’m new to cc, so how hard do you guys think my ideal next years schedule will be?</p>
<p>Junior Year:
Honors Precalculus
AP Biology
AP English Language and Composition
APUSH
Mandarin Chinese 3
AP Macro/Micro Economics
Digital Studios(art class that I need for graduation requirement) for the first semester and AP US Government and Politics for the second semester.</p>
<p>wow. just found this thread. overwhelming amount of posts haha. anyway…
this year:
English II H
Biology AP
Spanish II
Music Theory AP
World History
Dance (for PE credit)
Math Analysis H
Aca Deca</p>
<p>@aj1996: AP Bio will most likely be very demanding, AP English shouldn’t be too bad just a lot of essays, AP US will be a ton of studying but manageable, I’m not sure about economics, AP Govt shouldn’t be too bad again just a bunch of studying and Pre Calc in my opinion is very easy. </p>
<p>So it will be hard, but manageable.</p>
<p>Ah, now I just have to get my advisor to agree.</p>
<p>i feel soo late i just joined. but i’m glad to see a page full of people that are in my grade. Class of 2014. i’ve read several posts and i’m glad that everyone can talk about school but also just talk about non school related things. I hope that i can make new friends that are as dedicated to school as me but also know how to have fun!</p>
<p>@bandgeek96: That’s why I joined, to meet and connect with people who are dedicated individuals. It is very difficult to find this where I live so it is reassuring to find such intelligent people on here. And congrats on getting a spot at APP for summer ventures! </p>

<p>Hey guys. I’ve been looking at this thread for awhile. And I just decided to post. Does being from a small town in Minnesota with two APs kill my chances for HYPS? Im thinking about doing dual enrollment just for the challenge since my school is so easy. Is that a good idea?</p>
<p>Colleges look at your courses and grades based on the context of your school. If you go to a school where they don’t offer many AP classes, they will be understanding as long as you try to take the most rigorous schedule they offer. </p>
<p>If you want to try and further impress colleges, then yes, dual-enrollment is a good option. Taking online classes and self-studying AP classes are also great options to prove to colleges that you can go above and beyond what your school limits you too. :)</p>
<p>Thanks! Im taking dual enrollment classes online, how do you think that would reflect on me? Would it seem like I want to take the easy way out? Or want a challenge?</p>
<p>I don’t think it makes a big difference whether the class is online or not in the eyes of colleges. </p>
<p>But my question is, how do colleges view applicants from under-represented states? For example, I live in Kentucky, which has a rather low percentage compared to other states of people who apply to top schools. Does that give me a disadvantage in getting into these schools? An advantage? Neither?</p>
<p>My motivation to get into college is American Pie</p>
<p>^That is very nice.</p>
<p>On another note, I am debating whether or not to prepare for the placement tests that I have to take at NCSSM next Saturday. I really want to get into AP Calculus and AP Chem. To get into these classes, it would require me to relearn everything I learned in Chem last semester (the formulas, etc.) and review my Precalc notes (which I can remember pretty well). Do you think that I should prepare to get into the classes that I want or just wing it off of what I can remember to accurately reflect my knowledge?</p>

<p>Good to see everyone getting along! I get to go to play my first two rounds of state tennis as #1 single tomorrow! So nervous! So does anyone have any good books to recommend? Reading for fun, not intellectually intensive stuff please, I’ve got too much of that planned for this summer…i need a break!</p>
<p>@shadowsmyname I recently found out that I can take out an elective and replace it with an online course. This means I get to go home early, but Im still taking out 1 online course because Im really not that interested in it.</p>
<p>This is a good find of a thread. :-).</p>

AP World History

Spanish 1
Exploring Computer Science (not an AP)</p>
<p>Next year:

P.E.</p>
<p>Some schedules posted by others on this thread make me feel bad, to be honest xD.</p>
<p>@AniXiaN Your taking AP calc A/B as a sophomore…most people in my school take that as a senior…and I don’t think we’ve ever had above a 3…don’t feel bad, your quite fortunate!</p>
