High School Class of 2014

<p>Thankfully I only have 1 AP test coming up. Three cheers for going to a mediocre high school!</p>

<p>8 AP tests, yay!!</p>

<p>0 AP tests. But FBLA BAA’s due the 25, state competition and campaign this weekend, prom, meeting with the senator next Wednesday.</p>

<p>3 cheers for going to an elite high school and taking only 1 AP out of the possible 28!</p>

<p>I’m only taking 2 and does English really count? Lol
Honestly, I should just give up now, I’m terrible.</p>

<p>5 AP tests in May and 2 subject tests in June :(</p>

<p>7 AP tests, 3 Subject Tests. I’m screwed.</p>

<p>5 APs, 2 Subject tests…</p>

<p>Might do three, haven’t decided. If I do three, I think it’ll either be Math II, Bio and World History. </p>

<p>I’ve been self studying chem for the AP but yeah… considering what my month looks like, I don’t know if its still possible. I might drop the AP. Considering how late it is, I probably <em>should</em> drop it. If I had nothing to do but study, I’d probably still go for it…but nah. </p>

<p>Maybe I can try AP Psych if I just want to gun for AP scholar. I kind of hate myself for not trying harder wrt: Bio Olympiad. Oh, well.</p>

<p>Five APs and two subject tests.</p>

<p>Luckily, the two subject tests (Chem and US History) overlap with two of my APs, so I can kill four birds with two stones.</p>

<p>What AP exam are you all most worried for? For me, AP Latin by a mile.</p>

<p>I’m worried about AP Physics C Electricity and Magnetism. But otherwise, as long as I don’t slack off, I’m okay about the other tests. I’m only doing math and science ones, surprisingly. Stat, E&M (Physics), Mechanics (Physics), Calc AB, Bio. Haha, whoopee.
Then to finish it up I get to go to an amusement park for Physics Day! w00t.</p>

<p>Only 6 more weeks of school left for me!
So close, yet so far. Can’t wait, although I’ll seriously miss my senior friends.</p>

<p>A few AP tests, two subject tests, plus the SAT itself and I’m way more worried about researching colleges to look at next year. Whoops?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I’m going to fail AP Spanish. I just need a 3 for AP Scholar with Distinction!</p>

<p>Also, I’m trying to petition my school to let me take AP Euro which would give me 4 AP classes (max is 3). We can also only take a maximum of 6 and 1/3 classes without a petition. We have 7 periods and we drop one everyday. Anything starred I’m definitely taking. We also have to take a trimester of religious studies. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Honors English 12*
Multivariable Calculus*
AP Chem*
AP Bio*
AP Statistics / AP Physics C
AP Euro / 2 History Electives and 1 Trimester of Religious Studies
Free Period / 1 Trimester of Religious Studies </p>

<p>So far my petition is “AP Stats doesn’t count as an AP lolz.”</p>

<p>Side note: Should I screw AP Euro and take AP Physics C over AP Stats? There’s absolutely no way I could take both AP Euro and AP Physics C though…</p>

<p>Well if you haven’t taken a physics class in high school and going into sciences (I think you mentioned engineering earlier?) then you should definitely take AP Physics C over Stat.</p>

<p>This is such an awkward time for the class of 2014. Since all the seniors leave in a couple months that means there are some leadership positions to be filled but only so many juniors can fill them. Basically everybody is running against each other…some friendships might be broken. :’(</p>

<p>Skype interview in 2 minutes!!</p>

<p>I just had my interview for a research internship at a top 20 university, and it went really well! Hopefully I am accepted come Monday.</p>

<p>Also, I have finalized my schedule for senior year, as long as all the logistics work out:</p>

<p>-AP Art History
-Spanish 4
-AP Spanish
-AP Lit
-AP Gov and Econ
-AP Psych
-Differential Equations
-Linear Algebra
-Biotechnology and Society
-Biotechnology Laboratory Methods - Molecular Techniques
-Biotechnology Laboratory Methods - Microbial and Cell Culture Techniques
-Introduction to Bioinformatics (online)</p>

<p>I may also need to take General Microbiology.</p>

<p>This schedule will allow me to earn the Certificate in Biotechnology from my local community college as long as I get all 4’s and 5’s on my AP tests this May.</p>

<p>Also, the biotechnology major professor from the college is a prominent researcher who used to teach at Stanford, and he often takes interns in his lab during the school year. So that could be a possible option for me if I can get it.</p>

<p>@qcat: I’m taking AP Physics B this year. AP Physics C is offered for the first time next year.</p>

<p>Oh, all my clubs have finished elections. I’m treasurer of Illustration Club and Vice President of Science Olympiad Club. It’s only student council elections now. I don’t give a flying **** about so-called school politics. Why do we say “flying *<strong><em>” anyways? *</em></strong>s fly? What? </p>

<p>Do you guys think it’s worth it to found a club next year? I’ve been planning out this club since sophomore year, but I was not able to recruit enough people to form it. </p>

<p>@biovball:
bioinformatics FTW!!! Yeah, I’m hipster because I started doing bioinformatics since 7th grade, which was before high school students started doing research in the field! </p>

<p>What research internship? Just curious. I’ll probably get rejected from all of mine anyways, so I’m no competition (that’s what people on this site worry about)</p>

<p>I’m working on getting a professor to mentor my project. I don’t actually need to see them in person, since it’s bioinformatics and not a “wet lab” thing.</p>

<p>TheKongo, if you’re taking AP B this year, then AP Physics C Mechanics will be a breeze and boring to you. Does your school combine the two - Mechanics and E&M? </p>

<p>Engineering seems to like physics, because it proves your mathematical ability and conceptual understanding of how to apply it which is basically what it is.</p>

<p>@quidditchcat It was for the Institute on Neuroscience - I think you applied to it right? It looks like an amazing program and my interviewer gave me a lot of really helpful information. And the dorms look amazing!</p>

<p>And that’s so cool you’re doing bioinformatics! I thought it looked interesting and it’s required for the Biotechnology Certificate. Maybe you can help me when I don’t understand it at all haha.</p>
