<p>I'm the youngest person to ever register for calculus or chemistry at my community college (I'm a junior). I registered for Calculus II and General Chemistry II for next semester. There are 3 other students signed up for Calculus II and 9 others for General Chemistry II; registration for currently enrolled students ends tomorrow and enrollment typically goes down after payment day.</p>
<p>But you know what? I honestly feel embarrassed to be in Calculus II and General Chemistry II. I feel like I should be in a much higher level classes and so I kind of hide my calculus textbook from people and avoid the subject when people ask me what I'm taking...even though I'm taking 6 courses next semester (3 college, 2 AP, and 1 honors) while no one else at my school is taking any college science, college math above pre-cal, APs online (my school doesn't offer any), or more than 4 courses.</p>
<p>Anybody else have delusional CC-thoughts like this?</p>
<p>Apparently lol I’ve realized there are students in my state taking like 4 year-long APs, not a single other course, and still getting into the best colleges in my state. When someone posts some schedule like that on CC, they get chastised for way too easy schedules.</p>
<p>Well, we have a Top 10 school, then a Top 25, two well-respected LACs, and a very well respected engineering school that’s Top 100 but under-ranked.</p>
<p>I magine CC as a place. Thats exeter. People get ****ed off if they get an A- even the a C at exeter is like an A at a normal school. It’s incredibly obnoxious. Pretty much the only people who aren’t crazy obsessed with grades and stuff are like athletes and PGs.</p>
I’m sorry, but that is absolutely ridiculous. How can you possibly feel embarrassed to be in CC classes or rather AP Classes for that matter? I think you need to get a slight grip on reality.</p>
<p>I don’t know…just looking at some of the top students here though. Like real analysis sophomore year or crap. Looking back, if I had just made some smarter decisions my senior year would have been my junior year. I’m going to chalk it up to the fact I already know everything in calc I and General chem I. I think that because I won’t know the stuff in Calc II and Chem II I’ll no longer be embarrassed. </p>
<p>But I mean, my community college courses are the equivalent credit-wise to AP courses (AP Calculus BC & AP Chemistry) which many, many students are taking. So technically, I’m only taking like 5 APs this year…which I feel is way behind most CCers.</p>
I don’t know of anyone on CC taking such a course as a sophomore. That would entail taking AP Calc BC in like 8th grade. And that is extremely rare. Even so, that doesn’t mean any student can s imply succeed in such a high-level course. Seriously, there is no point i n comparing yourself to expectations that aren’t even feasible.</p>
<p>And if you really wanted more APs you should just self-study.</p>
