<p>Yeah, it's incredibly early, but I'm bored. High school is now completely uninspiring.</p>
<p>So what's everyone considering for first term classes? I was thinknig I'd take first semester calc (though I already took it in high school), the freshman requirement, and an intro level philosophy class.</p>
<p>yea it is a bit early... i am considering taking maybe some spanish course - the fresh req. - and just like you maybe calculus even though i have already taken it...</p>
<p>ya i think im definetely going to take calculus again even though ive taken it...just to be sure in know what im doing.</p>
<p>why are people taking calculus again?? for what purpose?</p>
<p>Because everyone teaches it a little differently, and it's really impossible to do well in Calc II if you aren't absolutely solid in Calc I. Plus, I took it junior year, and I've forgotten a lot of it.</p>
<p>and i go to a small school in montana and my teacher even suggested that I take it again</p>
<p>just a thought (not so much an advice) that i'd pass on</p>
<p>1) i had no foreign language requirement (being international) and took only 1 term of chinese. i wish i had continued, or at least picked up french again (which i learned in HS). don't squander opportunities you can't have again in life, like learning a language, learning a new sport, learning environmental science. but especially a language.</p>
<p>2) and if you plan on taking a language, do it during your freshmen year when your body clock is still used to the 6am alarm clock and 730 first class.</p>
<p>Why not take Math 8 or Math 11? I think they try to make the transition easy for AP students, but I don't really know yet, since I haven't gotten there.</p>
<p>If you don't like math, but need a QDS, i highly recommend linguistics 1 (but only in the fall, when professor pulju is teaching it). </p>
<p>Once you get your blitz set up, you can log onto the student assembly's course guide and read students' reviews of various classes/teachers.</p>
<p>math 12 (assuming a 4/5 in ap calc bc) and writing 5 and possibly a chem/language class....</p>
<p>"Once you get your blitz set up, you can log onto the student assembly's course guide and read students' reviews of various classes/teachers."</p>
<p>where can you find that? sorry if it's a stupid question.</p>
<p>here you go</p>

<p>dont take calc again if you have already taken it...that is a waste of money
unless you are on huge amounts of financial aid</p>
<p>i'm taking calc again for med school...and then maybe bio 11 and an intro anthro. okay yeahhh so clearly i was really bored while everyone was doing rd...</p>
<p>I'd like to apply for med school, too...but I don't want to burden myself too much during my first term but I don't want to forget my math or science either...I also would like to continue studying Japanese... Can anybody give me a point in the right direction for this???? ^_^</p>
<p>you dont have to take any "premed" classes fall term
in fact i would advise against it (excluding math)
go for the japanese...a lot of people start out trying to finish out their language requirement</p>
<p>are you premed, sangel</p>
<p>Well...the thing is that I don't want to plan my four years so that I can take it really easy freshman year and then end up double-timing it in sophie, junior, and/or senior year...</p>
<p>well i was implying to take it easy fall term (and not even easy but just get stuff you have to out of the way) and then pick it up end of freshman year</p>
<p>Oh...sorry SANGEL! But even then...I want all of my terms to at least have one hard class...so...is the math hard there? I took IB Higher Level Math (equal to AP Calc AB and BC) my senior year...so...any recommendations?</p>
