<p>Did any person, before making history, stop and ask if his/actions would be viewed as arrogant?</p>
<p>Do it.</p>
<p>I’m so annoyed right now… My plan was to take Differential Equations at my local community college next term but none of the time slots fit into my schedule! I don’t know what I’m going todo. AP Stats? Any advice?</p>
<p>“school nominates for the National Merit Scholar program”</p>
<p>They do? I’m confused about this now. I thought the company just sent you papers to fill out after you become a semifinalist.</p>
<p>^^Oops I’m thinking of the Presidential Scholar thing - NMS, yes 
sorry, and thanks @Ractagon for the advice!</p>
<p>@biovball, AP Stats is a breeze. If you were going to take Differential Equations, it is almost too easy for you haha. If you can take Differential Equations online, that is even better! A lot of places offer distance learning, and there are plenty of online high schools if you want to get into that. I know Stanford has online high school classes that are pretty pricey (but pretty good), but my state has a free one which was where I took my AP Stats and am taking AP Calc. The internet is your friend!</p>
<p>@WeIsCool I realize AP Stats will be a breeze, but that is the only AP class I can take 4th period 
I had originally planned to take Diff Eq during 4th, but the problem is that I have to be back in time for volleyball practice, which starts when school ends. There weren’t any classes at my local CC during this time frame…And I am considering take it through EPGY, but I’m worried it won’t look as good as if I were to take the class in person.</p>
<p>On a side note, I found out today that I got a 237 on the PSAT!!!</p>
<p>@biovball if classes taken online don’t look as good as face-to-face ones, I am screwed lol next year, majority of my classes online! I think I know what you mean when you say you’re worried EPGY won’t look as good - some of the talented youth programs have shortened, not-as-in-depth classes (case in point - I took JHU CTY’s online class in Crafting the Essay and I barely had to do any work). AP Stats was fun though, and it might be nice to have a simpler class next year. Congrats on the PSAT!</p>
<p>I’m taking AP stats next year too, but also Calc. But since I dropped film I need another AP to take. Hmmmm what to take. One of the easier ones</p>
<p>@WeIsCool - I guess I say that because I am unfamiliar with online courses; no one at my school ever takes them. It just seems like it would be easier to cheat and test a good great, but once again I have no idea what I’m talking about. I think I may just do MIT OCW because even though I won’t get a grade I will be able to learn the next in the math sequence without having. To spend hundreds of dollars. I really want to do SSP this year, so hopefully they will see that as initiative going beyond my school’s normally offered curricula.</p>
<p>@superstarlala Even though most people on CC recommend self-studying it, I actually really enjoyed my AP Environmental Science class, as we did lots of cool things and the material is very applicable to our lives.</p>
<p>I may take Enviro. I was deciding between that and psych</p>
<p>Is AP Psych hard? I was thinking of taking it next year… Do you think you need a prereq of a basic psych class?</p>
<p>I’ve never taken it, but it’s said to be one of the easier APs. Possibly because a lot of people find it interesting.
I’ve never seen regular psych as a prereq for AP. Many people aren’t exposed to psychology at all before college.</p>
<p>I’m taking AP Computer Science, AP Gov, AP Spanish, AP Psych, and AP Physics, can’t wait!</p>
<p>@halcyonheather, thanks for the input I’ll probably take the semester-long psych class at my school anyways because I need some more social sciences credits</p>
<p>I got my PSAT score today! Lower then I was hoping for (though my goal was fairly unrealistic), so I’m happy. I got a 179 (CR: 59, M: 61, W:59)!</p>
<p>Well tomorrow’s my last day of school and, unless they decide to magically give us our PSAT scores, it looks like I’ll be waiting until January…</p>
<p>Your Christmas break starts the day after tomorrow?!?! Ours doesn’t start until like the 21st.</p>
<p>Yep! Then I’m off till January 7th. Should be a good time…studying for the SAT.</p>
<p>Just got registered today to take cultural anthropology at my local college. So excited!!!</p>

<p>Wow, so a 2-week break!?</p>
<p>Mine is only 1 week, and Hurricane Sandy took away my February break!</p>
