I have an A- in APUSH, an A- in Honors Algebra 2, an A in English 10, an A in Human Body Systems, an A in Spanish 3, and a B in AP Bio. Don’t feel bad, your grades will come back up. @averagebean
@averagebean I had to look that up. My Japanese is pretty much limited to Senpai, Kawaii, and Weeaboo because my friends are pretty weird. :)) No need to do that though! You still have 2nd semester, all of Junior year, and the first semester of Senior year to bring your grades up. Your grades just need to have an upward trend from 10th to 12th. Some colleges disregard 9th grade entirely.
Tell me how Apush and AP biology is going, since I’m going to take them next year. @nyuhopeful44
next year I’m going to do a ton of bs aps such as ap chinese, ap stats, and ap enviro :):):)
@averagebean I have:
US History: 92
Algebra 2: 93
Photography 1: 90
English: 92
Biology: 92
French 3: 92
don’t worry about your grade slump. WE ALL have slumps in our grades in one or two points of the year. Just make sure to recover. We are all here for one another when it comes to grades
Oh, yeah so… SNHC anyone?
@nyuhopeful44 I wish AP Physics was such a blowoff at my school. And happy birthday, in five days. My birthday is in May, so it’s still awhile from now.
@univbound101 How the heck are you taking Pre-Calculus and Algebra II without struggling? Pre-Calculus builds on Algebra II. Lol I’d be dead!
@apple1893 I’m taking Pre-Calculus next year as well.
@averagebean Here are my grades (Lol, please do not commit seppuku): Computer Math - A, Pre-AP English 10 - B, Pre-AP World History - B, Spanish I - B+, Pre-AP Chemistry - B, Algebra II - B, and HPE I - A. My grades are terrible, but getting there. Our 2nd quarter and 1st semester hasn’t even finished yet, because of the snow days. I have until next Monday to get them up. Looks like I’ll be staying after Tuesday and Thursday. Hopefully, both of our grades will go up. I had 5 A’s and 2 B’s last quarter.
@apple1893 speaks the truth @averagebean It isn’t high school unless you have had at least 3 mental breakdowns a year, or per week. But I guess that is what we’re all here for. Helping each other out through the times of high school!
And since we are on this topic. I would like to thank everyone on this thread for motivating me and helping one another. Its great to see a group of diverse people wanting to achieve the same goals. Lets finish the rest of tenth grade strong. CC forever!
Kinda random, but thought it needed to be said.
@apple1893 I haven’t participated yet, but I think I’ll give it a go because I have an early morning orchestra rehearsal and can’t do any remaining homework when I usually wake up. I need to finish a recursion coding assignment for AP Comp Sci, write an essay over any major bridge for engineering, review notes for pre-Calc because I think my teacher is giving out a quiz, scan my AP World textbook, and quickly refresh my knowledge of Things Fall Apart for an English quiz (Fufu is LIFE). When will I learn to not procrastinate so bad?! Will probably leave some of this for Lunch tomorrow.
To anyone interested I started an African-American High School Class of 2018 thread in the African-American Students forum.
lol come join! @Hamlon
@apple1893 I’m always down for the SNHC. I have 10-13 pages of Frankenstein to read.
@apple1893 no honors or Ap courses
I take Algebra 2 accelerated. My school doesn’t offer honors/AP @BucketsUCSC
Aye! Glad to have you attend @ak2018
So glad I stumbled across this thread <3 Everyone seems so supportive and kind. Are any of y’all aiming high for the Ivies? I think it’s always worth a try; whether you get rejected or accepted. Sometimes, the selections are so random.
Thanks for having me lol @apple1893 I’m almost finished with the book. Then I’ll do some Math practice for my Math test on Tuesday. I’m not going to school tomorrow due to a Teacher Work day.
@averagebean Yes I am trying for Ivies. In particular: Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, and Princeton. I am not the highest academic student compared to those 3.8+ students, but hey, I work hard and I hope it shows.
@ak2018 It must be great having no school. You get ALL that time to catch up.
Yes @averagebean I am surprised to find that we are such a kind bunch. I’m not planning for the Ivies, as I can’t even go out of state.
@apple1893 It’s not all that great lol. I’ve been stuck in my house with nothing to do for the past week. I can’t wait to see my friends on Tuesday.
you have a 1 week break 1 month after winter??
how the heck does that even work???
