2317

<p>Hello, everyone. </p>

<p>I’m a new member here on CC but I have been reading the forums forever. My name is Elizabeth. I go to a very competitive(and successful) all girls private prep school. Sophomore year is the hardest grade at my school. I don’t really know what else to say so that’s all for now! Just wanted to introduce myself.</p>

2318

<p>@AlexHarper, oh that is unfortunate for you. I am speaking of the AP Exam, which you can self-study from scratch in one night LOL. Its one of the easiest ones. Psychology is also that easy, I self-studied that last year from scratch the weekend before the exam, and I believe I overstudied. Also, are you doing the NIH research internship which you have to apply for or an informal one? </p>
