“According to a 2013 Kaplan Test Prep study, nearly 31 percent of college admissions officers said they looked up an applicant on social media.”
I can imagine that they might quickly Google an applicant or two but highly doubt AOs have the time to look so many people up on social media. Most colleges cite something like 15 mins to read each file and complete the worksheet. What happens if you find someone with the same name?
The best you can do is watch what you post and get tagged in. You don’t want any possibility of bad photos or posts being seen by admissions officers, no matter how small that possibility may be.
Just be careful just in case.
How hard are you guys’ AP Lang/Lit classes?
i wonder if schools will think im boring af because i don’t do anything on social media even though i have it haha.
also I’m in the sparknotes group for AP lit. I already read Gatsby and one summer book is enough.
Mine is the one everyone dreads to take because of the masave mouts of work. This shall be fun.
Haha same. I got shafted this year with the teacher who grades harshly and gives out a load of work. All of my friends have the laid-back easy teacher…
@TheSlacker16 Different reasons for each. Actually some of my teachers probably don’t remember I was in their class.
yea my lit teacher is crazy, but i like it. i always hated english courses but this should be a fun one (started the year strong by not reading summer reading invisible man) had a test on the first day <3 <3
Oh my god Macroeconomics is my BEST class thus far!!!
I hate school.
This year seems more manageable, especially since I have an early release and on somedays I can leave as early as 11. However, I am completely loss in Calculus and it makes me feel soooooo defeated.
Meanwhile, TheSlacker16 enjoys the last week of summer vacation before the first day of the last year of school… B-)
I don’t want to go to school anymore. I feel like bursting into tears. :((
@letmeseetheworld Same
School starts in a week for me and the anticipation is the worst! I wish I would just start. Right now, I’m as ready as I’ll ever be for senior year. :-S
Honestly me too @JamieH my school starts after Labor Day and I’m more than ready to go back.
I hope senior year takes me out to dinner first
- AP Human Geography: teacher is a joke; i heard the class is too easy, but it's full of sophomores. i took ap euro 10th grade so i didn't take human and all my friends that took euro are in different human periods so it sucks.
- AP Physics C Mechanics: probably gonna be a hard class but teacher is amazing and I'm actually learning; also with all my friends so this is good.
- AP Lit: hardest teacher in the school but ill manage; my sister had him and he loved her so he loves me. already have an a after a pop quiz so we're gucci. also will all my friends.
- AP Calc BC: Live ass teacher, all my friends, easy class. this should be fun.
- Dual Enrollment Beginning Drawing and 2d Design: this is gonna be a weird class because i suck at drawing but would love to learn. i heard the teacher is hard but ill manage; also very few friends here. theres only one close friend and a lot of acquaintances that i see only in school but don't mind socializing with.
- AP Macro/Gov; new teacher to the school, he's live he used to be a play on Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid youth squad and not only do i love soccer but i did a sick program in spain this summer so i have a lot to talk about. also not as many close friends but theres enugh to manage.
what sucks about this year is that all my friends have scattered schedules (weird because most of us have the same classes in different periods). still gonna be a live year. i may switch out of DE Art and into Honors graphics if it becomes too hard since i don’t know how to draw a line.
@letmeseetheworld , @XoXdreamerXoX and @LordBendtner – why? What’s that wrong this early in the year?
In a house of 2 teachers and 3 students, we haven’t begun school yet-- we all go back next Mon/Tues.
What’s that wrong this early?
