@savagestudent7 Now that I’m not actually going tomorrow, I have more time to decide. Thanks for the compliment, BTW.
I am currently in love with Reddit right now!! I’m currently talking to the guy who would’ve been my tour guide tomorrow!! He said he would’ve definitely taken me, with his group, on a group tour.
First day of school tomorrow. Mixed feeling honestly, I think im prepared for chem and bio but overall i feel like junior year is going to suck.
@kassh4 first day tomorrow for me too…this year is gonna be a struggle
Hey guys! I’m new to CC (and also this thread) but I feel this will be my one source of sanity this year, as I’m probably the only one in my school working so hard towards college haha.
I start school on September 6th (which seems crazy late compared to all of your guys’s start times haha) and my schedule is
Algebra 2 (full year)
Study Hall (full year)
Music Theory/Music History (sadly my school doesn’t offer AP MT, otherwise I would’ve taken that)
Human and Social Biology (my school’s option if you didn’t want to take Chem)
AP Literature (in my school most juniors take lang, then lit, but I don’t like the people in my grade so I decided to switch it around)
Lunch
Study Hall/Gym (gym is required in my school every year… uuuuggggghhhhh)
AP US History
Band/Chorus
The slashes mean every other day, not 2 different semesters, as my school runs on an A/B day schedule
Hey @Marg532 ! Your schedule definitely looks good! I start school next Monday and am also on an A/B schedule. Welcome to the thread.
Thanks @ak2018 !
I’m literally crying right now! :(( My bus stop picks me up at 6:04am, which means I have to be out the door by 5:40am just to get there, which means I’ll have to wake up at 4am! This sucks!
This is literally going to be the first year I’ll be using my phone’s flashlight just to walk to my bus stop. Last year, it was so dark outside as I was walking out that the street lamps were still on. Some days, I’d literally WATCH rise as I was on the bus! This is just ridiculous.
rip
@Ak2018 aww that sucks. I have an 8 AM class 4 days a week and I’m riding the public bus which leaves my bus stop at 6:55. I’m lucky though because said bus stop is literally across the street from my house.
@marg532 I also start on the 6th! We might be the only ones still on summer vacation in the next couple of weeks!
@kassh4 a university of pittsburgh admissions officer got back to me regarding the guraranteed admission for medical school. What happens is that you have to apply as a pre-med major, and if you have a 33 ACT or a 1490 SAT and a high GPA “in the context of your curriculum” you are invited to apply, which means you have to write a couple more essays.Then about fifty people are called back to interview, and they offer admission to about ten people. Those people don’t have to take the MCAT but they do have to have over a 3.75 GPA.

Currently doing my AP Chemistry summer assignment now. Trying to get through an 8-paged assignment on Formula Writing and Naming.
I also texted my AP Chemistry teacher, through Remind 101, and she said we will be having a diagnostic test next week, during the first week of school, and that it WILL NOT be graded! It is a test to see how much we’ve learned last year and reviewed from our summer assignment.
@ak2018 do you need 1 hour 40 minutes to get ready? lol it takes me 40 minutes max but that’s just me
@Soccer1235 It usually takes me about 30 minutes to get ready, if I rush. On a normal day, I usually take about 40 minutes. I honestly spend most of that time finding something to wear and combing my hair with my hair pick so it doesn’t look nappy #blackpeopleproblems :)) I’ll end up spending that last hour doing homework and eating breakfast. I remember last year, this bad habit started in January. I would decide to do my homework as soon as I get up and not get ready until 5:30am. Since I had to be out the door by 6:10am, I would skip breakfast a lot!
@nyuhopeful44 Oh so it is pretty much impossible to get in
I think I aced the chem test and bio quiz. APUSH on the other hand… I realized that i was underestimating it ALOT. My teacher literally said “I don’t care about your grade. I dont care about how much homework I give you. I dont care about your social life or your EC. I just care about the AP test.” RIP to my GPA. You know the class is impossible when a B in the class gives you a 55% chance of a 5 and 44% of a 4(Based on his students for the last 8 years). He also said that if you do a lot of EC forget about sleep you are going to be a zombie.
@nyuhopeful44 I’m still on Summer Break too! (However I don’t go back till the 21st of September).
Since I’m doing college classes I’m supposed to buy my own textbooks however I found pdfs of two of the ones I needed and that saved 260 dollars and I’m super happy about it.
@snowfairy137 Lol, finding free textbook PDFs online to avoid paying for the actual textbook? Are you sure you’re not a college student already? :))
