High School Class of 2017

Any one have any idea of what colleges they wanna go to?

Hello Everyone! I’ve never posted before on CC, but I thought it’d be the perfect opportunity to connect with other overachievers my own age! :slight_smile:

@aleia044 I don’t even know what I want to major in yet, haha. I’m somewhat interested in getting involved with the United Nations or working for the government, though, and I’ve always wanted to attend Stanford or UCLA.

@trent6543 Welcome! You’ll enjoy it here. What AP classes are you taking this year? You might share the same classes with a lot of people in this thread, and this forum’s a great way to study for them while socializing with other students. :slight_smile:

@trent6543 Welcome! What state are you from? :slight_smile:

@aleia044 UW, UCLA, USF, and some CSU’s. What about you and what are you planning on majoring in? :open_mouth:

I’m in an agriculture program at my high school and it really helped me decide what i wanted to since freshmen year.
I’m thinking plant science or anything plant science related.

I’m thinking UH Manoa, UArizona, UMaine, Iowa State, New Mexico State, Cal Poly Pomona, and UFlorida

@trent6543 What overachievers? Those don’t exist here. We’re a bunch of delinquents.

Does anyone know of any online magazines accepting highschool editors/writers?

Not really. I know a biomed journal, but applications are due today. I’m too lazy to apply xD There are some literary magazines that accept submissions from teenagers, though.

Can you link me or message me the details topaz1116? The biomed journal sounds really interesting and I would love to look more into it :slight_smile:

Now that summer before the infamous Junior year is finally upon us, what classes are you all taking next year?

In order from most challenging to least challenging:
APUSH
AP Physics I
AP Calc BC
AP Lang
AP Chinese
AP Art History

Er, I guess I’ll order mine from most challenging to least challenging too. (Or at least what I think the difficulty is)

AP Biology (Because apparently this is the hardest class at my school–but I do like Biology)
HL History / APUSH
HL English / AP Lit
AP Calc BC
SL Spanish 1
SL Psychology

I’m taking:
Ap Calc BC
Ap Lang
APUSH
Ap Spanish
Ap Bio
Self studying ap psych
Band
Leadership class (yay I got the office position!)

People who are taking AP Physics 1, prestudy this summer!! You don’t have to understand everything clearly, just understand the broad aspects of the topics and memorize major equations (especially kinematics). I think I got a 3/4 on the exam:(

Also…

Has anyone heard of HOSA before? I want to start a chapter (more like extracurricular “club”) at my school…but I have no idea how to. My school doesn’t have a biomedical curriculum.

@xxvintagexx An officer position in leadership class. Bit ironic, eh?

And yeah, I’m in HOSA and have an officer position. Going to nationals on Tuesday, but alas, I don’t really know the procedure to start your own chapter.

I fear my schedule isn’t that impressive:

AP Physics Mech
AP Bio
Multivariable Calc
AP Spanish
Anatomy and Physiology
English III
World History II
Physical Education

@Frigidcold Your classes are perfectly fine! I like your schedule! But does your school require you to take Physical Education?

I think I shared my classes in the past but I’ll post them again just in case in alphabetical order:
AP Chemistry
AP English Language and Composition
AP Psychology
AP U.S. History
Honors English 11
Honors Pre-Calculus
Japanese 3

I’m thinking of self-studying AP European History, but I’ll think it over after I stop worrying about AP scores…

I hate apush

I’ll be taking ;

English lll
Trigonometry/Algebra ll
Agriculture with a focus on Plant Sciences
Spanish lll
AP Biology or Environmental Science (I don’t know yet)
Aerobics
US History

That’s a periods 1 to 10 schedule at my school with is the maximum including lunch.

Not really interested in APUSH so here is my schedule

AP Physics 1
AP Calculus AB
AP Latin
AP English GT 3
U.S. History
Honors Robotics
~AP Computer Science/AP Statistics (I don’t know if I will have 2 off-blocks or not, I probably wont take any senior year as my school offers more courses for seniors)
