<p>^</p>
<p>The joke at my school is that we all take college classes at the local CC so technically all students at my school are community college students.</p>
<p>I wish my school had let me take algebra I in seventh grade, I was actually good at math in middle school. (I got a 100% on the sixth grade placement test, but they made me take pre-algebra anyway.) Anyway, I absolutely hated freshman geometry. The teacher was the coolest person ever, but she didn’t teach us a thing. Maybe that’s why I’m so terrible at trig.</p>
<p>Re: the college admissions process — I think filling out applications and writing essays will be fun, but I’m terrified of the aftermath of it all. :[</p>
<p>yeah my school is ridiculously competitive but doesn’t offer so many AP courses. Junior year the only one offered is US History and only 18 kids get in. Senior year there are more options: AP chem, AP bio. AP gov (which I will definitely take) and AP english (which I will definitely take)… We take two foreign languages: Hebrew (mandatory) and French or Spanish (Optional)… I take French.
I wonder if the dual curriculum of a Jewish School will be taken into account during my admissions process even if I don’t take as many APs as other applicants. I am in all Honors Class and High Honors Hebrew. </p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>
<p>^ Yeah, the adcom always take what your school offers into account. Don’t worry about it, you’re fine. If you’re motivated enough, self-studying an AP is always a good option –> <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/369861-self-studying-aps-improving-your-app.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/369861-self-studying-aps-improving-your-app.html</a>.</p>
<p>That was an incredibly helpful link. Thank you so much!</p>
<p>I tried self-studying for AP Environmental this year, but my guidance counselor wouldn’t let me, because she thought I might not do so well. I’m pretty sure I know I could’ve gotten at least a 3, if not a 4 or 5.</p>
<p>^Hmm, is your guidance counselor allowed to tell you whether or not to take an AP exam? I didn’t even let my counselor know about which AP exams I was self studying.</p>
<p>^I signed up for self-study APs, but my guidance counselor didn’t let me. I didn’t tell my counselor about it because I knew she’d be against it, but my school’s AP exam coordinator told my counselor instead.</p>
<p>AP US History
Honors French 4
AP Biology
Honors American Lit
ROP Biotechnology
Symphony</p>
<p>Looking at UC’s… hopefully some good ones!</p>
<p>And anxious about Subject tests… how much does it suck that the class of 2012 doesn’t have to take them but we do? (For people in CA)</p>
<p>^^ Yea, even the school AP exam coordinator said no.</p>
<p>They can’t force you not to take an exam can they?</p>
<p>yeah, take it at another school</p>
<p>You can take them, but they are no longer a requirement for UC’s after 2011. So the class of '11 are the last people that are actually required to take them
D ;</p>
<p>i feel like i’m interrupting this thread… but i’m new and 2011! and obsessed with midd and amherst… and don’t know too much about any other schools! not too many APs for me next year at my small school- just spanish, bio, and maybe euro if my schedule allows for it.</p>
<p>I don’t have much to worry about for junior year. The only AP class my school allows us to take during that year is US History, so I guess I need to put forth at least some kind of effort for that. I’m just stressed about the PSAT - I got a 1500 last time, haha…</p>
<p>Ok so I fail. I’m taking possibly 2 AP classes and I’m scared out of my mind. How do u guys have time to keep yourselves sane?</p>
<p>Well I guess my schedule isn’t as hard as I thought it’d be…</p>
<p>Conditioning/Cross Country, possibly track
Algebra 2/Trig
English 3 during summer
AP LAnguage or Honors Writing
Anatomy/phys.
Spanish 3
Psycology
APUSH
Theology…I go to private school</p>
<p>I’m obviously looking at state schools and possibly USC and Pepperdine for their business programs. However I have a really great job right now that doesn’t necessarily need a $60,000 a year education from either of the last two schools I just named so we’ll see.Granted I would be honored to go to either of them, with the way the economy is I don’t know if it’s worth it…anyone on the same page?</p>
<p>Once again EVERY 11er HERE SHOULD JOIN CCers: Class of 2011 ASAP!</p>
<p>Ughhh. Pretty lax schedule, seeing as the only AP my school offers to juniors is US History.</p>
<p>1 - PE (1 sem.)
2 - Theology (1 sem.)
3 - Speech (1 sem.)
4 - Physiology (1 sem.)
5 - APUSH
6 - Portfolio Art
7 - Physics
8 - Jap III
9 - Honors Amer. Lit.
10 - Pre-Calc.
11 - Science Fair (It’s considered a 9th period of sorts here.)</p>
<p>Bumpage.</p>
<p>I’m bored.</p>
