<p>I asked my teacher about it today and I think I have it figured out for now, but I’ll definitely let you know if I need help. Thank you! :D</p>
<p>@whostolemycookie no, my school does not have tryouts. there’s not really enough interest for them to hold tryouts. but we do have quite a few superstar debaters who have competed nationally.</p>
<p>Waiting for September 4th…and August 28th (that’s when I get my schedule)…</p>
<p>Apparently, from what I’ve heard from the seniors,juniors,sophomores, and freshman in college brother, this is going to be the hardest year for me. Yay for starting high school <em>sarcasm</em></p>
<p>^Really? I’ve heard from everyone that junior year is very challenging…of course, it all depends on the school you go to!!</p>
<p>^yeah same here. i’ve been told it’s 'cause junior year is basically the last year to show what you’ve got before you apply. (especially if you apply early)</p>
<p>It’s because I’m ahead, so the stuff I would do in Junior year, I’m already done with most of it. I also heard the teachers I’ll have are VERY lenient and easy.</p>
<p>^Wait, so you’re taking junior year classes as a freshman…I need to look at your schedule again…LOL!!</p>
<p>I just looked at your schedule…you’re so smart:D…you’re going to be taking AP Calc which is typically a junior or senior year course…</p>
<p>Tryouts are neccessary for Academic Team, 18-24 tryout, but only 16 at the most can make it</p>
<p>Debate, which is broken into Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Novice (freshman only). Theres about 40 members
And everyone makes it. We have a lot of wards and do hist an annual competition</p>
<p>So how much time are you guys willing to devote to extracurricular/after school activities per week? Just takin’ a poll.</p>
<p>2-3 days after school. 2 days before school. Any saturdays neccessary. And Piano on Friday afternoona</p>
<p>I just finished my fitst ever XC meet. 9th over all pretty good for a freshmen i think!</p>
<p>Wow congratulations! Pretty impressive. :p</p>
<p>Is it bad if you don’t do a sport? I’m not very athletic :p, anyways, probably like 3 days after school, 1 day before school, and saturdays.</p>
<p>I don’t think it matters. Colleges will understand that not everybody is athletically gifted. Just dont fail Gym :)</p>
<p>Lol I hate being in the sun so I’m taking dance next year to fulfill my PE credit :o </p>
<p>But I don’t think not playing a sport is a big deal. Even if it was, I don’t think I would do it because I can’t commit that much time to something I dislike. My athlete friends couldn’t join any clubs at club fair today because they’re booked every day after school.</p>
<p>I want to find a way to Fill my second year of PE Credit, without, well…actually doing PE. We can do summer gym, but I rather take a course at a CC during that time, for now, im gonna try to find a way around it, but if I have to, oh well then. Also, od you guys think its worth it taking a 3rd year of a world language (spanish 3), or should I stop at spanish 2 and take a course that interests me more. I’m confused because I hear top colleges like MIT require 3 years.</p>
<p>Im not sure how you get around PE, I always thought it
Was generally madatory.</p>
<p>Id keep doing Spanish if it was me. Language paths are.pretty good.to continue with</p>
<p>Yeah at my school no one really gets out of PE unless it’s a medical condition or they (1) play a sport, (2) are in marching band, (3) take dance. </p>
<p>I agree with Atlantic. I would continue with the foreign language.</p>
