When its comes to determination, lets just say im intending on maxing out all my courses. I ve grown a lot

What i feels im lacking is extra circulars after school, i need to be more active and more involved in my community.
I am planning to self study lots of these classes right now and during summer so i will be more successful.
I am also planning on self studying Courses like AP psychology since they wont really be that valuable in my schedule

What are you’re thoughts :smiley: if you want me to have like an entry of my progress then tell me. Thanks

Uhhhh yea :wink:

Are your AP classes that appear twice during two periods?

Besides that, if you’re in the top 7% in a Texas high school, you get automatic admission.

4

@xoxdreamerxox Yea, AP Americans studies is AP English and AP History combined. They count as two classes. Plus i cannot get 7% with my freshmen gpa o sophmore gpa haha

You need a game plan on how to improve your GPA that is more than a hope and a prayer. Good luck.

Some questions:

  1. Why are you signing up for Honors Algebra II? You have dropped both of your honors math courses, so why not just start with being successful with regular? Honors isn’t everything- especially with math.
  2. Is AP American Studies the same as APUSH?

Otherwise, looks good, if you can handle it.
I don’t know much about UT Austin except that it is hard for OOS, so I can’t really comment about that.

Best of luck!

@Wonderfulreads American studies is APUSH + AP English, its the gifted program in plano. Im also in stae at texas

Thanks for replying

Yeah, it looks good. Just know that APs can get stressful at times, so your grade could suffer if you’re not willing to put in the extra mile to study. If you are 100% certain you can do it and get good grades, then go for it

10

Anyone else got advice?

Don’t take all those classes if you’re struggle in reg/honors. You’ll probably not do so well; take it down a notch and consider your past into what you will do in the future.

12

and UT Austin won’t be a reach even if you have easier classes; all APs are not necessary.

13

I heard it was hard to get in. Also a 40% acceptance rate isnt nice

Ok, the best thing to do is to base your plan off of the rigor at your particular school. Ask upperclassmen, so you can scope out the teachers and courses.
And definitely do not take all Ap senior year if you want to get ready for college without dying. Senioritis is very much a real thing. Happens to even the top students. Good luck!
