<p>Hello everyone.
Taking APUSH final tomorrow. I’m excited! (I studied all weekend for this, so it better pay off).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s cool. I wish I took an interesting language. Instead I take Spanish, so basic.</p>
<p>@ArtsyGirl, good luck! Hahaha, since so many people on CC are applying to these sorts of programs, it wouldn’t be strange if, assuming we get into at least one of the programs, we meet at least one CCer. Creepy in a way but still funny.</p>
<p>@TinnyT: lawl well, i think Spanish is very useful. Especially in the medical fields nowadays because of all the immigrants and stuffs.
The Japanese program at my school has a joke: that we actually learn stuff in any of those classes. The thing is, as mean as it sounds, it’s true. So usually only those with Japanese heritage who can already speak it are the only ones taking the AP exam. Most people take it as an “easy A” class. But I think that’s just my school. I hear my friends from other school districts complaining about how much they have to study in their Japanese class.
Personally, I’m Japanese so it’s not too interesting to me, even if we were learning stuff. I actually wanted to take either German or Chinese… but my parents (my mom) wanted me to get “easy” As so I couldn’t take either of them. 
But yeah, definitely I think a lot of languages are interesting. I really don’t why, but there is something I find fascinating in every language. That’s my take, at least.</p>
<p>So question! Do you know any classmates in school who are also CCer’s? Or do you feel like the only CCer in your school? :)</p>
<p>Guys anyone know what a 3.9 GPA converts to on the 100-point scale?</p>
<p>I’m definitely not the only one. I’m sure there are others. </p>
<p>@quidditch I feel the same way, every language is interesting to me. I personally enjoy Korean.</p>
<p>So I’m rather new to CC and trying to get the hang of it. But I’m definetely enjoying the community.
Anyone applying for TASP this summer? Got an email about it and it seems super awesome :)</p>
<p>Foreign languages are cool. Unfortunately, the way they are taught at my high school is not. Stopped at Spanish 2 because it was so bad… hopefully it doesn’t come back to haunt me in college admissions.</p>
<p>^^I might try for TASP. Probably won’t make it though.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I’m the only one from my school on CC.</p>
<p>@superstar: Good luck with the internship! All the Bio labs I asked were low on budget and couldn’t take anyone T.T but maybe they get money this year ^_^</p>
<p>@ArtsyGirl13, I’m applying to a bunch of research programs too. But yeah, they are so competitive that I am pretty convinced that I won’t get into any. Oh well, if I don’t, I have other summer plans that I can engage in, lol.</p>
<p>are any of you applying to UWC this year? it’s an international two year IB program</p>
<p>@TinnyT, Spanish is the only language offered at my school. LOL wish there was Chinese, I would be awesome. I asked my mom if she would teach it and she stared at me in horror</p>
<p>@Brandewyn I got an email too but I am more of a science person, I don’t think I’d do well at TASP… so I’m not applying. It is kinda late to be thinking of applications, no? Or maybe it is just perfectionist me who needs at least two months per application?</p>
<p>I think some of my friends sporadically go to CC but don’t have accounts - just when they google information it pops up I guess</p>
<p>Quitting my crap job today, wish me luck :D</p>
<p>I got accepted into 2103 Sejong Korean Scholars Program (SKSP)! Will now be taking an online course about Korea hosted by Stanford University!</p>
<p>I’m (hopefully) going to governor’s school this summer. It kills me that we have to wait until March for the decision.
As far as language goes, my school is pretty well off. We offer Spanish, German, French, Chinese, and Japanese up to the sixth course. We also offer 1-3 in Latin. Additionally, we offer a writing class, a culture class, and a literature class in each of those languages. Looking forward to having nine Spanish credits-3 APs-by the time I graduate.</p>
<p>Applications aren’t due til january and writing is definetely a stong suit of mine so the essays for TASP won’t be that much of a problem for me. My very rural school only offers spanish and the teacher is not so great. I have to basically independant study my Spanish 3 class this year and next year I have to take 4 online through a community college :/</p>
<p>@WeIsCool Many congrats on finally quitting! :D~!</p>
<p>Future TASPers? I want to go so badly you have no idea D; but I’ve taught myself to expect disappointment lol.</p>
<p>@WeIsCool Aww. My school has like Spanish, French, Mandarin, Japanese, Latin, Italian, and sign language. So many options, yet I’m taking the most generic one. Meh, I guess it will be more helpful than the others but I still want to take something cool. :’(</p>

Have you finished your application yet? Or procrastinating like me…</p>
