<p>what are my chances</p>

2

<p>pretty good chance in my opinion, did u say u plan to apply early or regular?</p>

3

<p>im applying regular</p>

4

<p>although i thought about early but the admissions officer at my local info session said that because im not top 5% of my class that i should apply regular</p>

5

<p>yea i noticed that, otherwise in my opinion, u'd be great for early but that might jump out at them. Ur courses taken are a bit confusing but i guess that is just becuase they are defined by ur school and i may know them by something else</p>

6

<p>i guess you dont go to an IB school (thats a good thing)</p>

<p>project advance is a syracuse university program and the classes are the equivalent of the freshman writing seminar at syracuse.</p>

7

<p>i'll take your word for it, mind telling me what an IB school is anyways?</p>

8

<p>IB = International Baccaulareate or however you spell it- program which is mostly big in Europe but starting to catch on in the states. Replaces AP (I didnt do it because I am in the Academy of Finance, which is even rarer than IB) but also includes 150 CAS (community service but idk what that stands for) hours and a 3000 word extended essay. You take 3 HL (higher level) and 3 SL (standard level) tests (or 4 and 2 if you are crazy) and each is scored out of 7. there are 3 bonus points in the diploma for TOK (theory of knowledge) and your extended essay, so the highest IB diploma you can get is a 45, which would put you in a select group of less than 1000 worldwide. the six classes must be 1 math, 1 science, 1 social studies, 1 language A, 1 language B (foreign) and one elective (music, economics, any other IB, as long as you have 3 SL and 3 HL). Add up all test grades + 3 bonus points to get max of 45. Anything 24 or above (4 on every test) and you get the IB diploma. haha hope that helped</p>

<p>northport '06 (non IB)</p>

9

<p>nope but thats fine i guess i dont need to know</p>

10

<p>bump... does anyone else have any opinions?</p>

12

<p>yea go northport haha</p>

<p>were you at the info session at chaminade?</p>

<p>i can't really think of anymore to write right now so this is basically it. i really don't compare with a lot of the people posting chances on this board which is rather depressing</p>

16

<p>those stats are respectable</p>

<p>4 on ap chem very impressive, i miss that class haha</p>

17

<p>how is ap physics going?</p>

18

<p>physics is going well, our teacher is new though so i really don't know how well my class will do on the ap. i also miss chem, the experiments were so cool, the ones in physics are booorring.</p>

19

<p>yea we have an amazing teacher for ap physics, been here for 20 years, graduated 3rd in his class at northport back in the day and went to cornell. i also had him for honors last year which helps. first 2 tests have been insanely curved (55 went to an 88 last test), but so far its ok i have a 99 and 97 but getting harder</p>

20

<p>no fair, i really don't think our teacher is so bright, all he says is damnn and u guys are madd smart. He claimes to be a national chess champion but im not too sure about that.
I had no idea northport was so big, i always figured it was the same size as harborfields.</p>
