<p>I’m sure you will! @TeamRocketGrunt</p>
<p>@peytonmg Hahah hey! Nice to meet ya</p>
<p>@anonemuss It depends on where you apply. For most places, yeah, but I know a few really selective colleges require SAT subjects tests, even if you take the ACT… Princeton and Harvard do, and probably a few others but I don’t remember.</p>
<p>@teamrocketgrunt I have Dr.Chung’s math 2 book and seriously it boasts like a perfect score for everyone but it didnt help me at all. I took a princeton review sat class though which helped a lot
@loltired I might not go to NCSSM because if you think about it, if all the smart kids went off, then you’re the smart kid left and can have a decent shot at being top of the class instead of mediocre at NCSSM</p>
<p>@anonemuss I think it is generally more appealing to have SAT subject tests if you score well in them. My advice is to take as many AP as you can handle as long as you can get 5s on all of them.</p>
<p>What SAT subject tests are you all planning on taking at the end of this year?</p>
<p>I’ve been so busy lately with school work, studying, extracurriculars, and the like. /: I think this is my first time on CC in over a week, which is a long time for me, considering I used to go on here every two hours or so.</p>
<p>I don’t plan to take any subject test at the end of the year. I was going to do chemistry, but I decided to just until I take physics instead. I’m taking AP Bio next semester, so I could do that, but I don’t see the point, since it’s not really related to my major.</p>
<p>Woah subject tests already? I haven’t even taken the SAT I yet, the subject tests I plan to take are Physics and Math II but that’s for junior year.</p>
<p>Done with bio; taking math 2 in two weeks; going to take chem in May or June.</p>
<p>After this year, I’ll only have the SAT and two-three APs to study for :D</p>
<p>What are your main extracurricular(s), by the way? I only have a few ECs (three or four); none of them particularly noteworthy other than research.</p>
<p>I only have a few too. Quiz Bowl, Science Olympiad, League of Extraordinary Gamers, and Anime Club. We have a programming club, which I really wanted to join but there are limited spaces, and I don’t know C++.
Is anyone else in Science Olympiad? Today, our group is building a boomilever.</p>
<p>Yeah my extracurriculars aren’t as good as they should be but I’m in Chamber Orchestra at my school, speech and debate team captain, varsity golf, school newspaper reporter, model UN, Tri-M musical honors society, and peer mentor. I also tutor this ADHD girl outside of school. COlleges look for consistency in atheme in all of your activities, and i don’t have a theme.</p>
<p>Just found this thread! Hello everyone 
My extracurriculars are pretty bad 
I’m only in science bowl, newspaper, and ecology club. I tutor kids in the library on the side, but it’s not ‘official’; I’m not affiliated with a tutoring center or anything. I’m very active in all of my clubs though, so hopefully that makes up for it.</p>
<p>I’m in science olympiad but I honestly have not done anything so</p>
<p>I’ll probably just take the Math II Subject test this year… maybe I’ll learn some more spanish over the summer and take the spanish listening next year.</p>
<p>I only have one exam left! Bad thing is that it’s calculus and I don’t actually remember anything but hopefully the curve will work in my favor. I’ve gotten a 101 on my Spanish 3 exam and a 99 on AP Psych with less than an hour of studying for each and I honestly have no idea how that happened, I guess my school is really easy lol</p>
<p>@grb - It’s not required that you take the SAT I before any subject tests. In fact, most people I know take subject tests before they take the SAT I.</p>
<p>@silly - I tutor people occasionally too! The actual peer tutoring program at my school is revolved around NHS, but I just help people in my class after school sometimes.</p>
<p>My main extracurriculars all revolve around music, but I guess another “major” thing I have is a summer internship at a local radio station. But yeah, I have a bunch of arbitrary extracurriculars too, like MUN and math team and stuff.</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity did you mean me? If you did, I think you meant the person above me. Also what is MUN?</p>
<p>Whoops, meant to @ reply halibo, sorry. MUN = model UN!</p>
<p>So in my accelerated US History class, we’re watching a biopic about Cornelius Vanderbilt, John D. Rockefeller, and Andrew Carnegie. After watching what these men did, I’ve decided to add one more goal in life. I want to start a business that is as successful as what these men created :D</p>
<p>This’ll be fun.</p>
<p>How important do you guys think a theme is for college? I mean, I feel like it’s important to be passionate about what you do and hopefully you achieve a lot in the same activities but does there need to be a really notable consistency in all activities? Or can you be passionate/do well in a lot of things? For instance, I do DECA, which is business related, while I also do Science Olympiad, which is definitely not business related.</p>
<p>@loltired- Or you’re just really smart :D</p>
<p>@TeamRocketGrunt- Wow. That’s such a great goal. I’m sure it’ll be really fun (but also a lot of work haha).</p>
<p>Good luck @TeamRocketGrunt !</p>
<p>@PurpleStarfall idk i mean i hear talk about how colleges want you to be “well rounded” but I guess it’s also good if you’re really good at something. sigh colleges, make up your minds</p>
<p>and honestly the teachers of every single class I’m in, except for chemistry, curve your grade by a ton. We took a 45 question practice ap exam as our calculus final today, and our teacher added 15 points to everyone’s exam grade because so many people had 91/92s for the other marking periods, even with a conversion to the 10 point scale… I ended up with an 113! it’s ridiculous</p>
<p>What do you guys think of this schedule?
(Note: It wouldn’t be a Block Schedule. It’d Be Everyday)</p>
<p>0: AP Art History
1: Advanced Math 3
2: AP Statistics
3: Spanish IV
4: AP US History
5: AP Psychology
6: English Language 11
7: STEM Physics</p>
<p>^Definitely doable. I wish my school had psych. /:</p>
