<p>How do you all feel about being seniors (or almost seniors)?? This year just went by sooo quickly. What are everyone’s college lists looking like?</p>
<p>^I agree. I can’t really create an accurate list until my SAT II and ACT scores come in. If I can’t visit any of the schools, what should I do to figure out which college is best?</p>
<p>Well, I guess I should count myself as one of the lucky ones for being nearly certain of my prospective major (linguistics; emphasis on computational linguistics so I might potentially do a minor in computer science)… :p</p>
<p>ive got ap cal ab, accounting, ap lit, ap chemistry, ap spanish
i think my first choice is pepperdine</p>
<p>@college3231 I feel now that I could’ve done a lot more with my past 3 years, especially junior year. My college list is mostly top schools, so I need to think of more safeties. I only have one so far, and I don’t even seriously consider it.</p>
<p>Oh, and I currently have 8 schools.</p>
<p>Ooh, schools. Let’s see… so far I have UC Berkeley, U. Chicago, Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, potentially MIT, and UBC in Canada as my safety, since I’m a Canadian citizen (though now a U.S. permanent resident – whoo hoo!). (My safety used to be U of Toronto but I decided that I liked Vancouver’s location better. :))</p>
<p>I can’t believe Junior year is over. T_T I feel old.</p>
<p>
I’m offended by the unspoken suggestion that non-ib kids don’t work as hard or at all. You have your diploma requirements, but we AP kids have the pressure to take as many courses as possible while still fufilling graduation requirements.
For my senior year, guidance has talked me into:
AP Calc BC
AP Physics C Mechanics
AP Physics C Electro mess
AP English Literature and Composition
AP Macroeconomics and AP Microeconomics
AP Computer Science
My only slacker classes are Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Design and Devlopment, both of which are required for a course sequence that will earn me college credit.
To make space for 6 APs, I’m taking high school health, tech, and economics online this summer.</p>
<p>I did the math and I stand to graduate with twice the required math AND science courses,as well as 5 tech ed classes:)
My favorite school outside of HYPM or the like is Syracuse. With my stats, it’s an academic and financial safety, not to mention how much light-hearted tradition and overall spirit they have. I’d be a star in their engineering department.</p>
<p>&*@# finals.</p>
<p>I feel like school is over, tbh.</p>
<p>I’m so bored with school right now. We’re not doing anything useful in any classes.</p>
<p>
I doubt your IB Schedule is any more difficult than my AP schedule. Those with several APs certainly aren’t lazing around senior year.
AP Calc BC
AP Stat
AP Latin Virgil
AP Art History
AP Physics C
AP Lit & Comp
and most likely Psych.</p>
<p>I guess I’m kind of slacking. Atleast compared to my soph and junior schedules.</p>
<p>I have:</p>
<p>AP Lit
AP Spanish Lit
AP Chem
AP Art History
Independent Study - Linear Algebra/Diff. Equations
Independent Study - Molecular Biology Research (continued from summer at Princeton)</p>
<p>Sorry, didn’t mean to offend! Ugh my teacher asked me where I plan to apply today and I HAD NO ANSWER! ufff</p>
<p>Applying to
Yale EA
Brown
Princeton
Harvard
Stanford
Columbia
Amherst
Pomona
UCLA
UC Berlekey
UC Santa Barbara</p>
<p>slacking for CC standards, taking a heavy load for my H.S. standards</p>
<p>AP Calc AB
AP Physics…don’t remember if it’s C or B, I just know it’s going to absolutely suck.<br>
AP Gov and Comp Govt(1 class, 2 AP exams)
AP Eng
Comm College Stats</p>
<p>and then a bunch of other crap</p>
<p>Ahh here’s my so-called list so far, everyone’s been asking about it but I’m not telling them because I’m afraid they’ll burst out laughing with “You?! You honestly think you can get in THERE?!” I only have an idea of some of my reaches though, and one possible match. </p>
<p>Columbia, Barnard, HKU, Pomona</p>
<p>^^^ My college list needs to be shortened… but if I get deferred or rejected Yale EA I’ll be worried sick about having no college and apply to like, 20 colleges!
I’m not sure if I’ll apply to Pomona or UCLA.
At this rate I’m hoping that UCSB will accept me (it is a “safety”). I’m from Cali so that should help.
My senior workload is:
AP Comparitive Gov&Politics
AP Calc BC
AP Spanish Lit
AP Chemistry
AP English Lit&Comp
AP Psychology</p>
<p>^ sounds like an interesting course load</p>
<p>Luckily I already took Calc BC, so my schedule’s relatively easy compared to my junior year. Wake up in the morning feeling like a true slacker
Take a look at the comparison:
Junior year: AP Bio, AP Physics, AP Calc BC, APUSH, AP English, Spanish III, Debate/Forensics
Senior year: AP Chem, AP Stats, AP Gov, AP Psych, AP English, Rec Life/Net Sports, Debate/Forensics, Early Release
Btw: I’mma let you finish, but the class of 2011 is definitely the best of all time.</p>
