<p>I really don’t get the concept of enthalpy, it’s so confusing. These equations confuse me. I’m sorry If I’m bombarding you with questions lol.</p>
<p>Did you get my PM?
/not sure if it went through</p>
<p>Yeah I got it, thanks by the way. I texted my friend about it and she cleared things up. Thanks for your help though :), I didn’t want you seem like I was ignoring you or didn’t trust you lol.</p>
<p>Woohoo!! Report cards come out in a week, which means I am almost 1/4 of the way done with the school year. Only a little more than 150 days left!</p>
<p>:P
Yeah, I did 1-5 over the summer, so I’m sure your friend remembers more than I do. </p>
<p>That just depressed me, lol. I love the seniors in my school, and that reminded me that I’ll never see most of them again once ~150 days pass.</p>
<p>So far I’m doing well in school (yay), and more than likely I’m going to murder the SAT, but I’m a little concerned about my ECs. This is my entire list for high school so far:
-Volunteering at a tree nursery that distributes plants throughout Orange County, CA (planning to get 100+ hours)
-Played violin since 3rd grade; going to australia this summer with an out of state orchestra to perform at the Sydney Opera House (among other places)
-Director/President of a new club (haven’t done anything at all yet -_-)
-25 hours at a summer camp for children- I felt like I really connected with some of them, but I didn’t really like the atmosphere
-some other random stuff that seems pointless</p>
<p>I’m afraid I wasn’t too active outside of academics the past few years. If everything goes well though, I plan to get a few medals in the Science Olympiad, participate in the Linguistics Olympiad, become an NHS officer, possibly do some research (I do a ton of this on my free time, just not formally) if I can somehow find some place that will take me since I have no connections, and maybe produce some low key electronic music and remixes (taking AP Music Theory to learn more about how it all works).</p>
<p>Obviously I’m stuffing this all into Junior year, but will colleges think I’m just doing them for the sake of getting in to college? I’m genuinely passionate about all of these things; I just hope they will recognize that.</p>
<p>Anyone know of any good competitions that are available to a Southern California resident? I’m aiming for MIT specifically, so preferably sciency stuff (no Intel or Siemens here sadly- before moving here I got into a magnet that consistently placed among the top in Intel). However, I’m also a very strong writer, so essay competitions are fair game. I just have no idea where to find such opportunities, and my school doesn’t really help at all.</p>
<p>Sucks to have aerobics and get deprived of sleep in the morning.
Do not skip breakfast before taking aerobics class especially if you are
sleep deprived. I had a bad experience I could have collapsed.</p>
<p>Anyone self study their AP before taking the exam without taking the class?
I’m interested in that I want to pass a lot of exams without the class since that
type of class is holding me back.</p>
<p>I’m doing do badly. I may get my first C’s. It’s too late to drop classes and I hate my teachers.</p>
<p>SAT scores come out tomorrow. I think I’m going to go to sleep soon so that it feels like they come faster.</p>
<p>i self studied ap physics b and well…i don’t actually know what i got since collegeboard lost the mc part of my test, but i do know that i got a 4 or 5. self studying for aps really isnt that hard as long as you are either
a. taking a lower level (preferably honors) class in the same subject
b. smart and can learn stuff by reading a text/prep book</p>
<p>2040! =)</p>
<p>720 CR
630 M
690 W (8/12 essay… -______-)</p>
<p>I broke 2000, so I’m pleased. Dat essay doe.</p>
<p>That’s a great score! Planning to take it again?</p>
<p>A lot happened today…not work wise, but planning for next year wise. So, during AP Language, our counselor came to the library with us to tell our class ranking and next year’s schedule. Well I found out I’m 8 out of 390 something kids instead of 4. Some may not think that that is a big deal, but it is. Like half of the top 15 are angry that this girl came from a better county than ours has a higher GPA than us a bumped everyone below 4th down. Also, people who have taken easier classes than us have got all A’s are bumping us down too. Though it seems stupid, we are competitive in the top 15 compared to the rest of the 11th grade and we will get over it soon until possibly next year when we find out about our rankings again. </p>
<pre><code>So onto next year schedule. I have said before that I planning to do Dual Enrollment at a local college or GSU, but just in case I don’t, I had to make a schedule:
</code></pre>
<ol>
<li>AP Literature</li>
<li>AP Statistics</li>
<li>AP Biology</li>
<li>AP Macroeconomics (One Semester)/ Economics (One Semester)</li>
<li>AP Latin (That will probably change to Office Aide or Library Aide)</li>
<li>Yearbook</li>
<li>Intro to Guitar</li>
</ol>
<p>When I probably do dual enrollment, I’ll take Statistics, Economics, Literature, and maybe Biology. I’ll figure that out by April.</p>
<p>Thanks :). Nothing compared to a lot of kids here, but I’m satisfied.</p>
<p>Most likely. I’m completely scrapping my college list, so I might not need anything higher, but Wesleyan University is really special to me (lived there for 5 weeks this summer), and if I ultimately decide to apply there, I’ll want ~2250.</p>
<p>Senior schedule! Seemed like fun to type out. Lol.</p>
<p>Newspaper
French III
AP Calculus BC
AP English Lit.
AP Micro./AP Gov. and Politics, US
AP European History
AP Physics B or AP Stats (maybe both if I can get a 0 hour)</p>
<p>Currently getting the business from AP AB Calc.</p>
<p>I have 1 C (76.4 IB English) 3 B’s (80.9 IB French 6, 86.4 Precal, 80.0 IB History), 1 A (92.1 AP Chem) but it’s about to drop to a high B and an 175.4% that should be a C (72 IB Film). Quarter ends next week. I’m screwed. I’m expecting the French and History to stay at B’s. Math to go up. AP Chem to go up. Film to stay at a C and English is a toss-up because he never grades anything. Grrr. History I’m fine with because it’s so hard. Math BETTER go up because it’s my best class. My first C and maybe 2.</p>
<p>@lldm21 Wesleyan takes super-scores, so if you get your other two scores to 700+, you’d have at least a 2120!</p>
<p>Edit:
Are we sharing schedules now? Awesome.</p>
<ol>
<li>AP Biology</li>
<li>AP Biology</li>
<li>AP English</li>
<li>Pre-Calc</li>
<li>APUSH</li>
<li>AP Physics B</li>
<li>AP Physics B/ Gym</li>
<li>Spanish</li>
</ol>
<p>So I am freaking out, and if anyone can calm me down that would be amazing. And if you can give me any tips for the SAT that would also be amazing.</p>
<p>After I got my results from the SAT (1960 blehh) I am starting to feel full blown stupid. I’m scared I wont get the results I need, because so many people claim it is impossible to raise your score 200-300 points. I start feeling like I NEED that score and that my life literally depends on it. I’m scared I wont get it and I think I’m having anxiety attacks.</p>
<p>Don’t worry. </p>
<p>I raised my score from a 1930 as a soph with no studying to a 2250 recently(albeit on a practice test, I didn’t take the real deal).</p>
