<p>Finally someone who understands! Haha most people I know like where and want to go the local university (which is terrible) and then there’s me: yes, i don’t want to live in the same town my whole life. Haha</p>
<p>LOL @Michal, JHU and Chicago are not safeties for anyone bud haha, they are probably reaches too be honest, JHU might be a high match, depending on ur SATs</p>
<p>@ImSoAmbitious, I guess I’ll just have add those to the other list than haha.</p>
<p>Yeah, I would say Cornell is easier than JHU.</p>
<p>Elf4Eva how are you gonna self-study for so many APs?! Thats so incredible though, props to you for putting in the effort. You might just inspire me to try it out…</p>
<p>Yeah I have wayy to many extra curriculars to self study all of that. I’m booked 24/24 hours of the day.</p>
<p>I think I’m going to consider all of them for my self studies but only do maximum ~5 b/c I’m not actually that insane to do 8 sophomore year…</p>
<p>I am also doing 5. World, Euro, Stat, Bio, and Envirosci.</p>
<p>5 self studies or 5 AP in general?</p>
<p>4 self-studies and AP Bio in school. Shouldn’t be hard, I self-studied 4 last year as well and got 5s.</p>

<p>I received my schedule yesterday.</p>
<p>N = Nonweighted
Honors < High Honors (HH) < AP
AP US History is the only AP course available to sophomores, and I’m taking the most challenging classes offered this year. I start school August 28th.</p>
<p>-AP US History 1 (it’s a two year course at my school)
-Honors Latin 2 (required language of the program I’m in)
-HH English 2
-HH Algebra 2 & Trigonometry
-Lunch 2 (there’s four different lunch times, lunches 2 and 3 are the best)
-HH Geometry & Analytical Geometry (doubling up on math, and I’m so glad I have lunch right between my two math classes)
-N Phys. Ed Honors Lab (which means on red days I have one period of gym and one period of chemistry, and on grey days I have two periods of chemistry)
-Honors Chemistry</p>
<p>I start the 27th. And wow, my school just has</p>
<p>CP: Non weighted/ lowest class
Honors
AP</p>
<p>My school has C (college), too. It’s the worst, excluding nonweighted classes. Like I mean the worst of the worst kids are in those classes at my school. I won’t be taking any college level classes at my school because my program doesn’t allow me to. The name is so misleading at my school. Before entering high school, I thought that C classes were higher than honors classes, haha. An annoying thing about those classes is that I’ve heard they’re SUPERSUPERSUPER easy, yet students are still failing them! :</p>
<p>My town is close minded, too! They freak out if someone’s a Muslim or non-white, although it’s starting to change now as more people are moving in. The funny thing is that the county next to us is really “liberal”.</p>
<p>Hi guys! I am an upcoming sophomore in the class of 2015. I am very stressed about my workload and sports.
My Schedule:
-Honors Bio
-Honors Chem
-Honors Algebra 2
-Honors English
-AP NSL (GOV)
-Spanish 4
-Basketball (easy I know haha)</p>
<p>My problem is that I swim 7 times a week, after school from 3-530 and two mornings from 4-6. Any advice would help and I want to be an engineer major if that helps. Thanks!!!</p>
<p>^^^just spend your time wisely. Some people spend three hours on work, some people spend an hour. A lot of that depends on how focused and or distracted you are during that time. Seriously work for half an hour (dont look up at the tv, space out, get up etc), take a five minute break and continue until youre done. This is honestly the best advice I can give, telling you how to handle each class without having taken it at your school makes it hard to answer much more in depth, </p>
<p>Also, maybe skip swimming one day each week or cut the swim time down by half on two days, fill these times in by running. You’ll get in fast exercise , and have a little more time a week for school and ECs . Plus running might help your swimming, and cardio vascular endurance .</p>
