<p>… i didnt mean for this to turn into an argument.
i just wanted to be chanced :/</p>
<p>Seems like it. I think he will pretty much learn everything I learned so far
in my two years of college. Calc, Writing Seminars, Linear Algebra, Diff eq., Complex var, cs, Chem, intro mechanics, intro e/m and the rest which is probably equivalent to his AP US, Music Theory, and AP Gov. Hell I’m even taking Quantum Mechanics as a junior and he’s gonna take it in high school. All this guy has to do after high school is teach himself intermediate e/m, statistical physics, fluid mechanics, and maybe take a couple of classes with final projects and he would have pretty much done my major.</p>
<p>And tjhsstkid21 how do you expect to be chanced when you’ve only finished freshman year?
A lot can happen from now to until senior year, so comeback in a couple of years. Thats when
people can give you more accurate chances.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, the reason I don’t feel very bad about derailing this topic is that the original premise was extremely naive and silly. Considering you don’t go to a normal high school, consulting your guidance counselors or school’s naviance would probably be a lot more accurate anyway.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I feel like you’re overestimating some of his coursework. Either that or you’re one of those people who came into college with little or no APs, which is fine but slightly unfortunate as you spend a while on coursework that many people have done earlier.</p>
<p>I don’t think I’m over estimating his coursework. As newest newb mentioned
this is THE TJHSST we are talking about here.</p>
<p>Obviously the advantage here is that, hypothetically, someone who took your freshman/sophomore courseload while in high school can spend their first two years doing upper division work and their second two years doing grad level work.</p>
<p>I have a friend in your department (physics, I guess?) who basically did that. Guess where he went to school? Yup, TJ.</p>
<p>Then what are they gonna do when they get to grad school?
Just place out of everything? And my major is Applied and Engineering
Physics.</p>
<p>Grad school doesn’t just have a maximum level of stuff you can learn, you know…</p>
<p>It goes up and up and up, and unless you’re the absolute top person in your subfield, then you have more to learn. And even then, there are subfields that you don’t know as much about and can learn more.</p>
<p>Higher education is much less “fulfill the requirements” than high school.</p>
<p>If that’s your major, then I assume you don’t go to Princeton?</p>
<p>Your assumption is correct.
I don’t go to Princeton since I didn’t attend THE TJHSST.
I attended a subpar high school compared to THE TJHSST.</p>
<p>Well that certainly explains your level of intelligence.</p>
<p>“Your assumption is correct. I don’t go to Princeton since I didn’t attend THE TJHSST.
I attended a subpar high school compared to THE TJHSST.”</p>
<p>I second that, just a teeny tiny piece of arrogance there. I mean, my podunk northern Michigan school has NEVER been able to send anyone to Harvard, Cornell, Wash U, or Emory. You must go to THE SCHOOL!!!</p>
<p>newest newb what were you expecting from
someone who did not attend THE TJSST?
I mean not everyone gets to go to a school
like THE TJSST.</p>
<p>Placing out of Calc BC actually isn’t that bad. I studied Calc BC for 6 weeks during the summer after sophomore year and learned it well enough to do well in Multivariable Calc and get a 5 on the exam with very little practice at the end of junior year. It’s good that you have your whole high school schedule mapped out. Not doing so led to a great deal of stress for me (the summer Calc BC was a result of poor planning). However, to reiterate what everyone else has said, Princeton doesn’t even really consider freshman year, so it’s impossible and pointless to be chanced at this point. Work hard, explore, and discover your passion without keeping college in mind. Remember, the ultimate goal is not to be accepted to so-and-so school, but to learn and be happy.</p>
<p>Another TJ kid joining the discussion… I’m a rising senior so I’ll be applying to college this year. To the starter of this thread, chill. Colleges want to see an upward trend, so just improve in the next three years. Improve = try to get A’s, since you’ll want to bring up your GPA. And the post-AP classes are actually quite close to college courses… This, and the number of AP courses TJ kids normally take, would be why some TJ kids graduate of school like UVA in 2 years. As to people who are going “the TJHSST,” we have more people getting into the top schools because we have very competitive and smart people.</p>
<p>Well of course TJ wouldnt be THE TJHSST if the people there weren’t so smart. Isn’t that kinda obvious. And don’t you mean “why some TJ kids graduate schools like UVA in 2 years”
And your suppose to be from THE TJHSST.</p>
<p>Relax, it’s a school for science and technology, not English.</p>
<p>Also lol’d at you’re irony.</p>
<p>Post AP Complex Var / Dif EQ
Post AP Organic Chem/ AMT
ChemAnal/Optics/Sys Lab</p>
<p>Dude, that’s awesome. Our school would never offer that in a million year. You should find something that you are passionate about and stick to it, namely, a science project for Intel/Westinghouse. You’ll prolly have no problem doing that since it’s pretty rampant at TJ</p>
