<p>@upinflight: UNC, Duke, NCCU, NCSU, Hampton, Elon, Wake Forest, or VCU.</p>
<p>@tofugirl: Have two part-time jobs, do volunteer service, go to the beach, take a science online course, study for the SAT and PSAT, and start studying some AP Calc and Chem material (if time permits).</p>
<p>Seems like you guys are set on being productive this summer! I have a bunch of plans as well, but the trouble is always the actual doing/not putting things off. :/</p>
<p>Plans:
-first two weeks traveling to China/Korea
-studying bio (I plan to do USABO - has anyone participated in it before?)
-a solid 8 week unpaid internship at NIH
-practicing piano to get as far as I can before the school year starts so I’ll still be able to pull off competitions
-light studying for SATs. </p>
<p>I want to volunteer at a hospital during the school year, so I think I’ll have to write/submit an application near the beginning of summer as well.</p>
<p>Who all is taking AP Chemistry next year? I am trying to take it online through John Hopkins University since my school only offers regular Chem.</p>
<p>I’m excited for it because it will probably be the only academic class that I’ll like. That, plus the fact that it takes up 2/8 of my schedule, and the second half of the 2nd block is a study hall, makes me pretty happy.</p>
<p>I am taking it next year. I really liked Honors Chem, so I am excited for more in depth information and explanations. Also, I am excited for the labs.</p>
<p>Awesome! I bet it will be a very fun and interesting course. I will be taking it online in addition to my normal class work. My teacher said I can expect to spend about 6-8 hours a week. That doesn’t seem too bad considering the time I will have over the weekend. Maybe we can form an online study group! </p>
<p>Spanish?
US History … AP or H depends on where the scheduling falls
Chorus
Chem</p>
<p>All of my junior friends say that taking precalc H is basically a death wish :/.
Lang & Comp should be okay because I love writing (although I hate reading books that aren’t page turners… I got assigned Kite Runner a few weeks ago and I’m only 40 pages in. About 330 to go by next Tuesday).
CW should be fun.
I hate Spanish & History.
Chorus… debateable.</p>
<p>Kimmy, you can get the blue book off of Amazon, new, for ~$13.</p>
<p>I’ll be taking the AP Chemistry exam next year as well! Not the course though; the magnet program in my school offers Analytical Chemistry and Physical Chemistry (each a sem long) which should be equivalent to AP Chem, although I think additional self studying will be needed.</p>
<p>I feel like the only one not taking AP Chem!</p>
<p>To make it even more shameful, I will be one of the few juniors next year who is taking regular chemistry. :(</p>
<p>It kind of upsets me, because I took physics this year instead of chemistry (I could’ve taken both, but I didn’t want to even though I should’ve). So I was all ready to take AP Physics, but the AP Physics course was cancelled at the last minute. =/</p>
<p>@lldm21 & @upinflight: I can create a wikispaces account when the time comes, for everyone to use (my current Chem teacher uses it). It really is a great program where you can post discussions, pm other users, add beneficial videos and much more. </p>
<p>I think I already put my schedule up a while back I think, but here it is:</p>
<p>AP Biology- 2 Course Sequence
AP English Lang- 2 Course Sequence
AP Chemistry
Honors Physics
Honors Pre Calculus
Honors Psychology
Honors US History</p>
<p>Don’t really know what to expect with AP Bio and AP English since it is the first time my school has offered them since 2007.</p>
