High School Class of 2014

<p>so where are you guys applying to? I’m thinking UF and (hopefully) HYP!</p>

<p>Reed College ED and Ohio State.</p>

<p>I don’t plan on contacting admissions officers. I really don’t think it would make a difference.</p>

<p>I’m applying to UIUC, UW-Madison, UMN-TC, and Bama at this point. I don’t see that list really changing either.</p>

<p>Currently the list is
BYU
UIUC
UChicago
Northwestern
Harvard
Boston College
Boston University</p>

<p>UW-Madison (hopefully through Posse)
Northwestern
NYU
USC
Ohio State
UIUC
UIC </p>

<p>My top choice is NYU, but I’m too afraid the FA will be too crappy.</p>

<p>MIT
Brown
Yale
UCs (one app) - UCSD, UC Santa Cruz, UC Berkeley
University of Rochester
University of Pittsburgh
Carnegie Mellon
Boston University
Smith</p>

<p>My first choice is MIT. I probably (like 99.9%) won’t get in. My first realistic choice is probably UCSD.</p>

<p>This is what I have so far:
UW- Madison
Brandeis
WashU
UMD
NYU
Northwestern
Tufts
Stony Brook
UBerkley</p>

<p>But I’m sure it’s going to change</p>

<p>This is mine:
MIT
Princeton
Stanford
Columbia
Cornell
Carnegie Mellon
Northwestern
Duke
UT
UMich
U of Rochester</p>

<p>I need more match schools :/</p>

<p>Ok ya’ll so I have some issues that I need that require some CC input. So I’m leaning towards taking the ACT in September and not June and just focusing on subject tests for now for the June test. I want a 5-7 point increase and I believe the summer will give me enough time to study for that increase. Any opinions? Should I just take it in June, since I’m already signed up? BTW, I don’t lose money if I miss my June test (fee waivers ftw).</p>

<p>Subject Tests in June for sure. If you feel prepared for the ACT in June, take it. If not, push it to September.</p>

<p>My parents are refusing to let me go to a private school…and mostly just want me to go to public local schools…I mean I used to argue with them over it but now I realize they do bring up valid points. My dad talks about how in the near future next decade or so he thinks student loans will burst like the housing market did in 08.</p>

<p>So my options are kind of narrow but the big schools are</p>

<p>Penn State
Temple
Pitt</p>

<p>Woo? Yeah, I don’t really care either. I mean, if I don’t go to them I’ll just go to a local school for the honors program I guess.</p>

<p>Also, any of you self studying next year?</p>

<p>So far I may self study AP European History and AP Art History…going to start early “maybe this summer” and pace it out throughout the year so I am not overwhelmed. Doing it along side taking AP Psych, AP US Govt, and AP English.</p>

<p>Why would you actually self study? You could just write on your app “self-studying blah” and not do anything. It’s not like you’ll get credit for anything #APPhysicsBisworthless</p>

<p>^You do know that the curve for AP Physics B has been on average 55% of points goes to a 5, right?</p>

<p>people in AP Calc AB:</p>

<p>do you think it would be smart (or suicide) to take Calc at a community college nearby to go into BC next year? or is there too much to cover in one summer? i really want to do BC but i’m not sure if it’s gonna be too hard if i only have 2 months of Calc AB background. if i can’t do the summer class, i’ll just take calc AB next year </p>

<p>thanks!!</p>

<p>Go for it. Just make sure you know how to integrate and you should be fine.</p>

<p>Just took an English final. I NEED an A for an A- and to maintain my GPA.</p>

<p>Guys I want advice plz…</p>

<p>I’m taking two SAT subject tests this June, and I’m sorta freakin’ out here…</p>

<p>I just started self studying bio like a month ago and i just “finished” today… Now, I know I didn’t study enough…sth very evident in my 680 in prac tests :/</p>

<p>I dunno what to do. Barron’s is too tough explanation wise and i can’t even dram of doing one of its prac tests…</p>

<p>Anyone took bio sat2 before and has some advice?!</p>

<p>Any thing for math level1 wud also be appreciated… I took a friggin’ 800 on sat1 and ended up with a 650 and 680 on my 2 barron’s prac tests :frowning: :(</p>

<p>Isn’t Barrons notoriously harder than the actual exam? If you feel prepared despite your practice scores don’t worry. </p>

<p>This week is a hectic week. I have a huge school event Wednesday and a performance Friday and Saturday. Add on the fact that I just found out I have to take a math course over the summer, that might not even happen. Don’t you all just love junior year :D</p>

<p>All of my teachers besides APUSH and Psych are cramming us with material right now, which sucks. We only have one more week of regular school, and then finals. My motivation is so low for school and has been for so long, I may end up getting a fluke B in one of my classes. Possibly Spanish. </p>

<p>On the bright side, I was chosen to be an usher for the graduation ceremony, which is somewhat cool.</p>
