<p>I am a freshman currently. My schedule is ok but ECs are pathetic.</p>
<p>French 12
Alg. 2 honors
Modern dance
Advanced Eng (my school doesn’t have honors eng)
Guidance
Bio(no honors in my school)
I am gonna take chem over summer but should I take Ap bio or Ap chem next year?</p>
<p>ECs:
Volunteer at a local hospital.
Anime club
Gonna join csf next year.
I rank 2 currently. But freshman rank doesn’t matter that much anyway.</p>
<p>Any of you guys have leadership positions?</p>
<p>@shmluza I am currently a freshman and I am already doubling up on my sophomore year. I could try a take trig or a percalc course online or at my CC. If I did this, what other math courses could I take? Any advice is greatly appreciated. :)</p>
<p>@hobbitton; I’ve got a position in class committee, though it’s nothing remotely impressive. I just do it for fun. I’m planning on snatching a board position in tenth grade for a philanthropy club, but otherwise I have none. I don’t know how it works at any other schools since mine is tiny in population, but freshmen have zilch chance of holding leadership positions here.</p>
<p>And fostej, i’d go with CC over online course any day, unless you’re super confident in math skills 
imo, online courses serve self-learners the strongest, and if you’re not all stellar at math it might be best to have a face-to-face teacher. Plus it’s cheaper if you were going to buy the course!</p>
<p>I’m most likely going to get an officer role in Partners Club, which will be awesome since it’s my favorite club. I’m also running for Chief Clerk in Youth Court, which I also think I have a good chance of getting.</p>
<p>I was actually just wondering about my EC’s. Are these bad EC’s for a freshman?</p>
<p>Youth Court (~60 hours plus possible leadership position)
Partners Club (likely leadership position)
French Declamation
Academic WorldQuest Competition
Tennis (next year)
Debate (definitely next year)</p>
<p>@fostej, if you can get trig/precalc done before junior year, then junior year you can take calc, and senior year take another AP, like statistics, or maybe a college math. The thing about math is, I’m told it’s better to know trig before you do things like ap physics. I don’t know if it’s true but that’s what people have been telling me.</p>
<p>im really confused on what to do in the summer… any ideas???</p>
<p>Just found out i’m Valedictorian of the freshman class at my HS . . . . FTW :)</p>
<p>Just did my course registration for soph year today…does this look like a good schedule?:)</p>
<p>AP Calculus(I heard in our school they finish AB and BC in one year)
AP statistics
AP Physics B(still have to talk to the teacher, but I have done two years of physics in China before I came here)
English 10 honors
Humanities 10(required 
)
Latin 2( will be in AP in senior year)</p>
<p>I kinda want to take AP chem as well…but i don’t think the teacher will let me do that…i hope i will have the chance to talk to him today</p>
<p>I don’t know my class rank and I don’t really care. It has to be pretty good. I’ve been having all As. One AP, and honors. Today is the last day of this marking period.</p>
<p>qqwang2015, you’re so ahead, I’m sort of jealous. TTOTT
Compared to my classmates’ schedule, yours seems rigorous, congrats on the successes!</p>
<p>Rank doesn’t really matter that much in freshmen year since grades change in later years. Even my counselor said that there are many 1s and 2s.</p>
<p>Definitely. I’m going to work really hard next year to raise my rank.</p>
<p>Has there been anything interesting going on in your school? There’s this guy who is the president of 3 clubs that got into HYPS, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, and Duke. This is just unheard of. The teachers are going crazy and rabid. No one has ever gotten into Dartmouth or duke from my school for a few decades, let alone Duke. Some people are excited because it is starting to open doors. Last year my school matriculated 3 people at uc Berkeley and 2 at ucla.</p>
<p>Wow! That’s amazing. He must be a really nice guy. A dozen or so kids at my school got into Top 20 schools. One got a full-ride to Columbia through QuestBridge. Another got recruited by Harvard for football, and one got into Princeton.</p>
<p>Valedictorian at my school got a full ride at Harvard. Needless to say the school is going nuts.</p>
<p>We have 2 at University of Chicago, 1 at Yale, 1 at USC’s screnwriting progrmam, UPenn, a bunch of WashU’s, Dukes, and Vandys (many of those going Vanderbilt got full rides), several Northeastern and Boston College, a couple of Carnegie Mellons, and few UNC-Chapel Hills, and a bunch of other LACs and good public Universities… from what I have heard from my senior friends so far.</p>
<p>What are your schedules for next year?</p>
<p>At my school: Gifted > Honors > CP</p>
<p>My schedule for next year looks like:</p>
<p>Gifted Sophomore Language Arts
Gifted Pre-Calculus
Honors Spanish II (no gifted offered)
Lunch
AP Environmental Science
AP World History
AP Chemistry</p>
<p>@thenerdofawesome
Online PE during the summer hopefully
Alg II/Trig HP
English II HP
World History HP
Computer Science AP
Draw & Paint II
Business and Health (required…as annoying as that is)
Chemistry HP
Spanish III HP
Yearbook. Hopefully.</p>
<p>LOL mind posting yours? call me weird but I really like seeing other schools’ schedule options so I can complain about mine, ah yeaauh</p>
<p>Rrrrrrr. My school doesn’t offer any AP class for sophomores besides Comp Sci, unless we finish Alg II freshman year. Which sucks. Because I suck at math. Heh.</p>
<p>By the way, what are all of you overachievers’ outlets? Like activities that help you wind down? Just curious (:</p>
<p>Definitely creative writing. It lets me be free. I’m starting to get into poetry now as well.</p>
