<p>@misschoding Yeah, probably not going to happen. Although, AP CS and Lang are both chill classes. I might be able to do Spanish work during CS… I’ll see. </p>
<p>Oh my gosh, I’m so scared for the PSAT. One of my top choices has guaranteed half tuition scholarship for NMF’s and for my field (Vocal Performance) , that’s crucial. I’m scared because 1. I’m from Illinois with a high cut off. 2. I bombed my Sat 2 math (650 eeeeekkkk). Granted, that was partially bubbled incorrectly on my error. I also have no clue how difficult it is, yikes! I’ll definitely be prepping hard core for the first time in my life!</p>
<p>Lul all my life up until I took Spanish 1 & 2 (we took it all in one year) I’ve always pronounced Pollo Loco as “<em>white girl voice</em> polo local”
And @Smrtical your school has a pretty weird system then. I remember on the first day I entered my Spanish class my teacher thought I was Mexican (she had been trying to kick fluent Spanish speakers out of the class so they can be put at a higher level and not be placed in an easy class) so she forced me to take this test and I kept telling her that I don’t even know where it says to put my name and she wouldn’t believe me, she thought I was being sneaky.
Lol it wasn’t until the middle of the year she finally realized I wasn’t Mexican when she asked why my last name was so weird. She’s the most craziest teacher I’ve ever had in my entire life but at least now I can say crazy chicken in Spanish the correct way.</p>
<p>And hi all you 16ers!!!

<p>@foolish lol seriously? This is CC.</p>

I’m New Zealand citizen but studying in America, so APs and all that. I’ll just apply UCAS, like you’re meant to? What specifically do you want to know?</p>
<p>@misschoding what state is that?</p>
<p>Today was my second day of cell bio lab work. Westerns are so tedious. </p>
<p>Class of 2016 <em>woot woot</em></p>

<p>Just wondering how’d I’d have to match up to get into Oxbridge as a foreign national. For example, I want to do PPE, but I’ve got 4s on my Micro and Macro tests. However, I got straight As in the equivalent course at a local University; would that help at all? The test day was just really weird for me. Would I need to retake 4s for Oxbridge? Also, how would they view an award like State AP Scholar or National AP Scholar?</p>
<p>Those awards are pretty good, though apparently colleges don’t care about AP scores. Lucky for me :P</p>
<p>@TeamRocketGrunt Westerns are fun the first time but after you do them 10x times in a row to get accurate results, you kind of go insane.</p>
<p>@Apollo11 I think I heard somewhere that most English colleges actually pay a lot of attention to ap exams/awards</p>
<p>@Apollo11 Cambridge is fine with you resitting exams once, if you get a better score. Oxbridge is fairly simple in that all you need to do is everything related to your subject PPE- grades, extras, etc. i don’t think AP awards mean much, because you need to get a lot of APs to be worthy in the first place. </p>
<p>Still apply no matter how your situation looks like. It doesn’t cost much, and you get to apply to 4 other English unis without added costs, plus interviews are fairly important at Oxbridge. If the tutor thinks you actually know a lot despite test scores, you can still get in.</p>
<p>Cool, thanks @Woandering!</p>
<p>The reason why I’d ask about National AP Scholar is that it would require you to get at least 8 exams with a score of 4 or higher, which I’d assume would illustrate to English universities that equate APs to A-Levels that I’d essentially done a colossal amount of work and managed to still meet requirements in all of those fields</p>
<p>In other news, LCD Soundsystem’s album “LCD Soundsystem” is now my new favorite album, taking over the spot jointly held by LCD Soundsystem’s “Sound of Silver” and Daft Punk’s “Discovery”</p>

I blocked the gel and left it in primary for the night. Third and final day of this one tomorrow :D</p>
<p>I’m an upcoming junior. I only took one ap class so far and I passed it (sophomores are not allowed to take more than one). I haven’t taken the sat yet, but on the psat, I earned a low score. If I retake the psat this year and receive a 220 or higher and get more community service hours, do I have a higher chance? I have really good extracurriculars and leadership roles. I haven’t done any research yet because I’m too young. However, I am very compassionate about science. Would I receive my new psat scores in time so that way I can report them to RSI? </p>
<p>@Tajmahal the RSI application is due in Fenruary I think, so you should be fine.</p>
<p>I haven’t posted in here for a while, anyone else applying for MITES? I feel like I could make it, I’ve done really well my first two ears in high school, my only problem is that I have a lack of science clubs at my school and my PSAT score isn’t very good.</p>
<p>The PSAT only counts Junior year…</p>
<p>@Animefan1998 what do you mean? I thought that you could take it sophomore and junior year. I want to submit my junior psat score, since I didn’t do that good on the sophomore psat. </p>
