<p>My grade is 55 students out of approximately 200 in the school.
Yeah.
But it’s awesome, because we’re so close-knit and we know everyone and are ALL friends with each other- and I’m really not exaggerating; last week my friend competed in the regionals of ESU Shakespeare and the entire grade begged to go along to cheer her on and we managed to get permission :). It was awesome.
My school doesn’t have school lunch, though a private vendor does come in who sells overpriced wraps and salads. Only seniors are able to leave, and since this is NYC they go for pizza, coffee, manicures, walks in Central Park, ice cream, Fifth Avenue shopping :), etc.
Can’t wait til next year!</p>
<p>Hi 2014ers. First post!</p>
<p>What are you guys taking next year?</p>
<p>I’m taking:
AP Physics C
AP Calc BC
AP Gov
AP Macro econ
AP mandarin
AP Comp Sci</p>
<p>Physics-H
AP Calc
AP Stats
AP Lit
RUSH (Recent US History)
Psychology (college-level and gives college credit, but it’s not AP)
Sociology (See above)
Business Law</p>
<p>The only reason I’m taking Business Law, Sociology, and Psych is the fact that my school offers so few core electives. It was either take those, accounting (which I would hate), or foods/art.</p>
<p>This again? Ah well…
I’m not taking as many classes as everyone else:
AP Comp Sci
AP Chem
AP English
AP Econ
Math @ community college (doing calc right now)
Special Ed class (just learned I have learning difficulties)</p>
<p>I just got into the final interviewing phase of Chicago Scholars. I’m so happy. March has been an amazing month so far and will be amazing. I’m going out the country, got into the final round of Chicago Scholars, came 2nd in state in the BPA tournament, missed many days of school, college fair, etc… I’m truly on cloud 9. I lived most of my life with disappointment and for once things are turning out well for me. 
I’m loving 2013. </p>
<p>My schedule for next year is:</p>
<p>AP Economics (Macro/Micro)
AP English Language and Comp
AP Statistics
AP Psychology
AP Biology
Honors Speech
Ceramics
Calculus I @ a community college over the summer
Sociology on Coursera (I can’t wait for this class actually! Anyone else signing up for this class?)</p>
<p>@TinnyT - I’m not taking sociology, but I love Coursera! Right now I’m taking Bioelectricity on there, but I don’t have enough time to meet all the deadlines. So I’m not gonna go for the certificate, just for the knowledge xD</p>
<p>This term though, I’m also taking a writing class from Duke, a medical neuroscience class from Duke, computational neuroscience from UWash, probabilistic graphical models from Stanford, python programming from Rice, and Machine Learning from Stanford. Once again, I won’t have the time to meet all these deadlines, except I will probably go for the certificate in computational neuroscience since it will probably be my future field of study.</p>
<p>I’m really looking forward to next year’s schedule
AP Bio
AP Human Geography
AP Calc
AP Lit
Tech Ed/Teachers Aid
My school runs on a block schedule so I only have 5 periods a day and everything is year long except for tech ed, which is a stupid freshmen requirement that I never had room for in my schedule.
what is this Coursera thing you speak of?</p>
<p>Your schedules make me feel like @$#$@%… 0_o</p>
<p>As of right now, my schedule is looking like:</p>
<p>AP Computer Science
AP Lang
AP Comp. Gov.
AP Physics
AP Human Geography
Multivariable Calculus
Geospatial Science (Dual Enrollment)</p>
<p>Despite the multitude of APs, this schedule should be significantly easier than my current one. Lang, Comp. Gov, HuG, and Geospatial Science are all pretty easy, and my only somewhat difficult classes will be AP Physics and Multi (but since I’m a math/sci guy, these should be more fun than hard). </p>
<p>I’m just elated that I won’t have to deal with AP Latin or APUSH next year. Those classes are hell.</p>
<p>You know that eureka moment you get sometimes? I just had one because I finally thought of the perfect thing to write for my college application essay! :)</p>
<p>^Do share. I promise we won’t steal it :P</p>
<p>@StudiousMaximus - I’m so jealous. I wish my school had higher level classes available. My teachers claim that if they add more classes, less people will take electives so they’ll lose jobs.
Main reason why they’re against adding more AP classes as well.</p>
<p>I had originally signed up for four APs for next year, but I am rethinking AP Euro. There is a teacher who is known for not preparing people for the AP exam (and she usually teaches AP Psych) and it looks like she will be teaching the class. How horrible would it look if I didn’t take a social studies next year and instead took abnormal psych at a local college?</p>
<p>I haven’t decided on a concrete schedule yet… but here are my three combinations:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>AP Calc AB
AP Lit
AP Biology
AP Music Theory
AP French</p></li>
<li><p>AP Calc
AP Lit
AP Biology
AP Music Theory
French 5 Honors
Ethics Honors </p></li>
</ol>
<p>3.
AP Calc
AP Lit
AP Biology
AP French
Online class/dual enrollment/senior project/three academic-based electives (Ethics, sociology, psych, stats, creative writing, etc.)</p>
<p>I’m having trouble deciding because I don’t know if I’m up for a five-AP courseload.</p>
<p>my next years schedule:</p>
<p>AP Calc BC
AP Environmental Science
AP Computer Science
AP Lit & Comp
AP Psychology
Photo Technology (i need a fine arts credit to graduate)
AP chem? our school will most likely not run this class, it usually never does</p>
<p>My next year class is probably:
Orchestra
AP Calculus AB (we don’t have BC)
AP English Lit
AP French
AP US Government
AP Computer Science (this is going to be an amazing class since Microsoft employees teach it)
AP Chemistry/Biology/Physics (haven’t decided yet)</p>
<p>This is what I’m planning for next year:
AP Calculus BC
AP Biology
AP English Literature
AP US Government
AP Macroeconomics
Spanish 4
Varsity Co-ed Choir</p>
<p>@StudiousMaximus
I feel your pain about AP Latin. Im in that right now and its slowly killing my soul. but i do really enjoy it and my teacher is phenomenal.
@sardonyx827 I would go with your third choice if you don’t think you can take too many APs</p>
<p>Another snow day. This is ridiculous.</p>
<p>Is it bad if I don’t take AP Spanish next year if I’m aiming for an Ivy League? I already have three years of spanish. c:</p>
