<p>Soccer/Tennis/Fencer here, fitness and hand eye coordination (soccer more foot eye lol) all play out extremely well in all three! I especially have noticed a difference now that I have a strong core, just because it helps with balance and staying strong and steady in everything.</p>
<p>@luv2sk8 Yeah, I have to read the first three chapters, the AP chemistry teacher said that we will go through Chem I in 5 days! O.O</p>
<p>@grammernazi: Oh okay. Well next year has just became even worse. Haha, I now know why the call Junior the most challenging.</p>
<p>@luv2sk8 Yes we have like an 8 or 9 page summer packet. Then I still have summer hw for Honors Precal (which I already finished when our class was reviewing for the Algebra 2 final) and for IB English and IB Film</p>
<p>Anyone else studying for USABO/AMC this summer? My primary focus is biology, but I hope to make AIME as well.</p>
<p>time to start my online classes…Procrastination got the best of me</p>
<p>@Studious: I plan to study for USABO! I haven’t participated before, but I’ve heard interesting tales about its diabolical difficulty. I’m not even quite sure where to begin studying, to be honest.</p>
<p>Do you guys have some good book suggestions? I plan to head down to the library today and check out several, since I’m vacationing/traveling for about two weeks, and will need something to keep me busy. Nonfiction or fiction is welcome. On the side note, I’m thinking of trying some Kurt Vonnegut since I’ve heard he’s an amazing storyteller (Slaughterhouse Five?)</p>
<p>Definitely read Cat’s Cradle if you’re curious about Vonnegut. Excellent book.</p>

<p>I wish my school offered IB. But then again, the program seems very challenging. Challenging schedule by the way lol.</p>
<p>How difficult would it be to self study Macro/Micro cause I heard colleges don’t care if you self study psych and human geo?</p>
<p>i feel like a loser because i have less impressive ec’s.
Yearbook editor soph year (i would do it again but it won’t fit in my schedule)
ASB (junior year will be my first year)
NHS (first year obv)
JV Volleyball (2011, it was my first year, hoping to make varsity this year)

going to volunteer at the library this summer
going to volunteer at nursing homes/animal shelter once i get my license</p>
<p>is there anything else i should add? my school doesn’t have clubs since we’re a small school. can you give me some suggestions please?</p>
<p>Get nominated for some sort of program. Try to run some clubs or even found one.</p>
<p>what kind of programs?
and i doubt founding a club will gain ground at my school. the key club we tried to have fell apart and we did nothing :/</p>
<p>I was nominated for this by simply asking my Honors Biology teacher to do it for me:
[NYLF/MED</a> : Home : National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine](<a href=“http://www.nylf.org/med/]NYLF/MED”>http://www.nylf.org/med/) </p>
<p>Took me maybe two minutes, and it’s something solid to put on my college application.</p>
<p>lol everyone gets nominated for that. I don’t think it will help you that much because its just an expensive program for rich kids.</p>
