<p>New to CC. Millions of Q to ask. </p>
<p>this site makes me consider even the little things related to academics and Ecs.
i got a millions of questions to ask but i'll shorten it to some questions i really want to ask.
i know no one will have the definite answers to each of these, but i would appreciate anyone willing to give answers to it.</p>
<p>all this questions is for the admission for competitive colleges (but not ivy level). sorry but please give me direct answers. any answers will be appreciated.</p>
<p>and i'm an intl with many experiences in different countries with average GPA of about 3.75 -3.85. moved to another school in my junior year.</p>
<p>AP courses
1, am I f***** since i am taking 1 AP in my junior year? else i'm taking pretty easy courses + courses for requirements.</p>
<p>2, if i am(1), would taking 4 APs in my senior year show my seriousness in academics.</p>
<p>3, there's no way i could switch to AP now. so even i'm taking normal class now, would studying the subject for AP and scoring 4 or 5 on the test be looked good upon.</p>
<p>4, how do adcoms think about those who selfstudy APs?</p>
<p>5, is doing normal US History class + self study AP US and Psycho and get 4-5 much worse than doing AP US History class + 4-5 test. or are they about the same.</p>
<p>6, what does it mean by people saying they self study AP. is it studying 100% by yourself? taking an online course? or at school officially while getting assigned homework?</p>
<p>ECs
1, Will colleges be more lenient on those who moved during both middle and high schools.
2, will starting to do a lot of stuffs in my junior year cover the less things i did in previous years?
3, in summer i mostly traveled around many other countries. do colleges like this or is it better to stay home research and work.
4, which better? volunteering in nature center, hospital, or a church?</p>
<p>5, i have no leaderships due to a move. i definitely knew i could be a captain of 2 sports and a class officer if i haven't moved my junior year. but darn i moved.</p>
<p>SAT</p>
<p>1, when looking at SAT scores. does intl need a slightly higher SAT than americans to have a same chance?</p>
<p>i'm sorry i asked a lot. but i think its better to try to ask then not. i feel stupid because i didn't even know AP existed till the end of softmore and SAT till the beginning of softmore.</p>
<p>i know i have to visit the counselor and discuss this kind of things, but i'm just not the kind of person. </p>
<p>and the Last question, how do you make time to talk with the counselor. counselor never has time since she has like 200 students. i have never seen her alone nor her talking to one person more than 10 min.</p>
<p>ok..... ... thanks</p>
