@dsi411 I’m thinking of taking AP Psych Senior year, I have written some English research papers on Psych in the past and it is pretty interesting.
Psych sounds like a really fun class. My friends told me they loved it, very informative as well.
class of 2017 here now a sophomore and 100% stressed about college. cant help it!!!
@beetryinghard I’m pretty stressed too…
I’m going to two campus tours this summer
I’m taking AP Chem next year and the course at my school is supposed to be absurdly hard. I’m taking AP Chem, AP Physics 1, Honors English, US History, AP Calculus BC, either AP Human Geography or Journalism 1 (my Journalism interview is next week, and I’ll know if I got in sometime during April), and Marching Band (first semester).
@dsi411 Psych is super-interesting; I took a CC course on it last summer and it was probably one of the best classes I’ve ever taken.
We won first place at our last winterguard competition yesterday! We actually got a higher score than the school a category above us… Sadly, we can’t go to championships because much of the marching band is going to Europe two days after champs. If we were to go and win first, we’d almost definitely be bumped up a category for next year. But either way, we almost went undefeated this season! (As in, we were 0.3 points away (on a scale of 100) from getting first place at one competition).
@beetryinghard I’m right there with you 
I am currently taking:
English II (honors is not offered)
Biology (honors not offered, took Honors Chem freshman year)
PE
Honors Spanish III
Sophomore Choir
Advanced Algebra and Trig
Religion II (Catholic school)
AP Euro (aka, the class from hell)
Next year:
English III (honors not offered)
Advanced Physics
Choir/Physics lab
Advanced Speech (semester course)
World Religions (semester course)
Madrigals (honors choir, auditions are coming up soon; wish me luck!)
AP Calculus AB
Religion III
US History (after APE, I’m forever done with AP History!)
I’m looking to study architecture at Notre Dame or Cal Poly SLO.
Any musicians? I play guitar, piano, and clarinet.
How about runners? I run distance.
I’m just looking for friends XD
I applied to Notre Dame’s architecture program. I’m sure I got in, because I think I was one of the first to apply. If anyone’s going to Notre Dame during June 14-26, hit me up 
I’ll leave you alone now XD
@topaz1116 what are CC classes like compared to regular classes? Do you get more work? Is it awkward because you’re younger?
@Boltingflame I’ve been taking lessons for about 10 years now. I made the mistake of not auditioning for pit for the spring musical, but I am definitely going to do it next year. One of my really good friends was one of the pianists this year, so I hope to be working with her next year
^also @Boltingflame you may benefit from my AP Euro Exam thread. That’s literally what it’s called.
Got 3rd Place at Science Fair Regionals. Look like it’s the end of the road for me this year.
How did you all do for your Science Fair?
I’ve never done a science fair before.
Four weeks ago, my team got 1st at TSA TEAMS regionals! Hope we make nationals…
@musiclover131 I play clarinet and piano Piano since age 5 and clarinet since age 12 lol
@SirSly GREAT JOB!! The last time I did science fair was eighth grade LOL… I just can’t find the time for it! But congratulations that’s awesome.
@Cornbread1999 Congratulations to you, too! I hope you do as well:)
I LOVE HOW AMBITIOUS WE ALL ARE AHHH
I’m not really that ambitious. I’m think I’m the only one here that doesn’t really do stuff.
@dsi411 I’m not really ambitious leadership-wise. I know a lot of people in this site who have a lot of leadership roles, but I barely have any, the closest position I have to leadership is being a math tutor for students for MESA. My classes also aren’t as challenging as you guys’, I’m only tackling one AP test this year.
EDIT: Also, I my school doesn’t offer any IB classes. In fact, I didn’t even know what IB classes were until I joined this site. 
@dsi411 The fact that you’re on this website discussing school and your future makes you more ambitious than most. You’re being productive and healthy with your time on this site conversing with people in your grade about classes and high school, while most other teenagers are doing bad and unhealthy things. So trust me we are all so ambitious for being on a collegeconfidential website
And tbh I don’t do THAAAT much either. I just work hard in studies and whatever comes, comes. But I haven’t done science fair or NHD or any sports or groups like drama, band, or chorus in high school. We all do different things.
@Greninja Oh I don’t have an leadership roles at the moment. I’ll probably run for a few next year, but I know what you mean… and you know what that’s okay about AP!
The number of AP Classes we take doesn’t determine how smart or ambitious we are in life. It’s just about what someone wants to do. The smartest can be the ones not taking any AP’s at all. How challenging a schedule is doesn’t mean anything, trust me:)
You are all super smart in your own ways
my school doesn’t offer IB either…
You guys have all become my friends in some way or another! I love this website
Is there anyone going to Cornell Summer College this summer?
@iamnotironman it’s INCREDIBLY awkward being younger than everyone else, but thankfully it was a large lecture class, so I didn’t have to do anything but listen. The courses were absurdly easy (I also dropped environmental science because the class was so dumb; that class was not a lecture, so for the two days when I was there, everyone ogled at my age).
College is honestly what you make out of it (life, in general, is what you make out of it) so if you exhaust all of your resources and opportunities to accomplish some impressive feats, you’ll be fine. Getting into your “dream” college shouldn’t be your goal—try getting as much out of high school as possible and you will be on the right path to succeed in life:)
Best of luck!
@dogJournalism You’re so lucky you can go to these summer programs! My state doesn’t have any of those good kinds of colleges around… like those of you who live near an Ivy league should consider yourselves eternally lucky
