First day of three for finals! Geometry and Biology today. Got a 97% in Biology, so an A in the class. Sadly got a C average on the Geometry test (it was crazy hard), so I’m still at a B. Not sad at all though, did way better than my expectations. RIP 4.0 UW tho 
Good thing UC’s don’t factor freshman grades into GPA.
Health and French tmrw…
AP World History: I’m actually pretty excited for this class even though history isn’t my favorite subject. Had a meeting with the AP teacher for summer work and she seemed pretty nice 
But so much reading over the summer ugh. Terrified for the exam.
Honors English: Not hype for this class ugh. The teacher is a tough grader and gives out lots of essays. I also have to take the Literature Keystone, required by Pennsylvania 
Honors Algebra 2: I really like math so hopefully this class will be easy for me.
Honors Chemistry: Most anticipated class ugh I can’t wait. Teacher is also my track coach so that’s a thumbs up. Just freakin love science.
Spanish II: Gotta brush up on my Spanish this summer lol, no idea who my teacher is gonna be.
*AP Economics: I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to take this class because sophomores don’t usually take this, but everyone says the teachers is hella amazing and the class is fun and great. Teacher is hella smart. Hopefully I can take it.
**Biotechnology: This is an alternative for AP Econ. This is a new elective added to our school. Heard it was going to be interactive and fun.
**Intro to Computer Science: Also an alternative for AP Econ. But I heard they were not going to offer the elective because the teacher is transferring somewhere else ughhh.
They’re getting rid of AP Bio for the next year temporarily because only like 5 people wanted to do it… Hopefully there’s enough people doing it when I plan to take it junior year.
@literallyliteral Aw, that sucks! How big is your school?
We have to take Chem and Bio before we take AP Bio.
Wow, we are on page 231. We can definitely break 1000 before graduation 
I asked my coach for workouts to do while I’m on vacation. I have no idea what he wrote down, so I extrapolated a bit. This isn’t going to be fun…
Hey guys! Just popping in from the High School Class of 2018 Thread. I actually just made 5 threads for the high school classes of 2017 and beyond for the following schools: Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, George Mason University, Virginia Commonwealth University, and James Madison University. All of these universities are in Virginia. I had simply wanted to create a little online community, like the High School Class of 20XX pages here on CC, for hopefuls of the class of 2017 and beyond for those colleges, which are all colleges I plan to apply to. If you’d like to join, here are the thread links for the threads I made:

Pretty low-average school size for California, a little less than 2000 students.
Huh. Mine’s usually about 2150, but it’s going to be more like 1800 due to a new school opening. And we’re adding at least two classes: Honors German 3 and Honors Mandarin 3.
Wow, my school only has around 1500 or 1600 students, that’s really low compared to the average for CA (which is where my school is). Then again, it’s fairly new (it was started around 2007/2008)
That’s so interesting to me that you have that many students yet not enough want to take AP Bio since at my school we have a little less than 1000 and we usually end up having 3 sections of AP Bio
Mine usually has 2 each of AP Bio and AP Chem. There are usually about 4 or 5 for APES, and I have no idea about the other AP science classes.
Usually we have 3 bio, 2 chem, 1 physics c, and 3 apes
Lol we have one section for every AP
Wow
At my school it varies a lot. Like, I’m pretty sure there are about 8 or 9 sections of APHG, and probably only one for Physics C.
We have one full period for WHAP, about 30 students. One full period for APES too - not sure about any others.
My school is about 3500 students, we have about 3-4 sections of each AP
But my school doesn’t offer the easiest ones (AP Psych, APHG, APES)
So I know it’s early but I was bored so I came up with my junior schedule. I’ll probably take these classes if I decide not to do IB:
AP Language and Composition
Precalculus Honors
AP Biology/Research Method Honors
APUSH
French III Honors
Anatomy and Physiology Honors
AP Psychology
I don’t why but all of the AP Sciences are double periods. For senior year, if not IB, I’m probably doing:
AP Literature and Composition
AP Calculus AB/BC
AP European History
French IV Honors
Idk
Idk
Idk
I have a lot of slots to fill lol, I’m having trouble figuring out what science to take. I don’t want to do physics because I’m not a math person and they only have regular and not honors available. I might take AP Chemistry but I’ll have to see how I’ll like honors chemistry first. Honestly I have run out of courses that I want to take by now. We’ll see, I still have a 2 years to figure it out!
My plans:
Junior:
AP Bio
Precalc Honors
Either English 3 reg or AP Lang, not sure yet, gonna see how I do this year in an Honors English class.
French 4
APUSH
Senior:
Physics B AP
Calculus AB AP
English 4 or AP Lit
AP Gov/AP Macroeconomics
Ceramics (need a fine arts credit for UC)
My plans:
Junior:
AP Chem
AP Physics 1
AP Lang
H/APUSH
Precalculus H
This one’s a little iffy; I’m going to talk to my counselor about the possibility of taking a semester of honors orchestra and a semester of astronomy. If not, I’ll probably put down Astronomy/Mythology or something with Mandarin 1 as my first alternate.
Study Hall, because I’m not insane (almost everybody takes a study hall most years.)
Senior:
AP Calc AB/BC, dependent on my precalc grade
AP Physics C
APES
APCS/APCSP
AP Gov (idk which)(sem) and AP Econ (idk which)(sem)
H English 12, bc I don’t really feel like reading a trillion classic novels
Study hall
With Mandarin 1 (or 2) as my first alternate.
