<p>Totally backing you up on the pop not soda thing.</p>
<p>Hey does anyone know if the 4 credits in social studies for stony brook university is required. I’m freaking out right now cause by the end of senior year I’ll only have 3.5. Will they still let me apply or what? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>School out at noon today… two straight days we got let out early. Our entire school helped sandbag the hospital and a few other places though, which was actually pretty fun. We had a levee break so everything in the canal outside of town is draining into the river, which is dumping everything into town. </p>
<p>So yeah it’s chaos. Thankfully everyone is okay as far as I know, but the houses are a different story.</p>
<p>@mchen1496 I just look on the College Board, Stony Brook requires four social studies credits. Here is a link if you want to look at the other requirements.

No, spanish is one of the easier classes I take.
I would just rather omit it completely though to take some artsy classes.
I was just wondering if this would hurt my overall transcript and whatnot.</p>
<p>In general… It just hailed here in the chicago suburban area. This weather is sooooo weird.</p>
<p>I just had my first meeting with my college counselor today, and he introduced me to Naviance. Princeton and MIT have only accepted one person from my school :eek:</p>
<p>I just found out that 4 kids from my school got into Harvard this year.</p>
<p>@xxcs417: sorry no other advice. haha im bad at this advising thing. </p>
<p>Quite a few people get into HYPMS at my school. It’s horrible and makes me feel like I’m a failure even though those schools are for the most part not for me.</p>
<p>AP Spanish… yeah. My teacher has a funny way of doing things.
No non- native speaker has ever gotten an A in her class. On the bright side, Last year she got 15 5’s, 23 4’s, 4 3’s, and one 1. So… she gives us a crap ton of work that is impossible to pass but always prepares us for the exam. Literally, she got her hands on the Spanish translations for the AP History classes, AP Psychology, and AP Art History, and just assigned the exact same thousand page essays but in Spanish.
What I’m really worried about though is the AP Statistics exam. We haven’t even got to chi-square tests- so about a sixth of the class has yet to be taught. I will be self-studying that.
And it’s soda, not pop. End of conversation. Don’t argue it.</p>
<p>We hardly ever hve kids at our school get into Ivy Leagues or any of those extremely top tier universities. According to naviance, most never even apply to the top LACs. It’s discouraging :P</p>
<p>@DukeHopeful: I’m also in AP Statistics. Chi-square tests aren’t too bad - when I learned them, we only did them for two days. Good luck.</p>
<p>It’s actually fully called Soda-Pop. It’s like calling someone by a part of their name. lol</p>
<p>It’s definitely soda</p>
<p>it’s definitely fizzy sugar chemical. JK…
That’s what I call it, but nobody else calls it that.
I just don’t like soda unless it’s an ice cream float after the ice cream has melted quite a bit.</p>
<p>If I moved outside the Midwest I would probably adapt, but until then I will fight to the death for pop.</p>
<p>^<em>crosses colleges in Midwest off list</em></p>
<p>I’m visiting 4 colleges in the midwest in June.</p>
<p>Hey if corn fields and country music aren’t your thing. We don’t want y’all anyway. :)</p>
<p>The only schools I’m interested in that are in the Midwest are Oberlin College and maybe Wash U. in St. Louis. Wash U. is such a reach for me that I’m probably not going to apply - I don’t think I need more than two huge reaches.</p>
<p>All the other schools are in New England or California.</p>
<p>Well country music isn’t my thing, but I’m plenty familiar with corn fields.</p>
