Next year I’m volunteering at a hospital, HPAC, Key club, Art club, student ambassador, and track. Not doing many STEM related extracurriculars until sophomore or junior year so I can do research with a professor and shadow a neurologist hopefully.
@Potter3846 I plan to do Quiz Bowl, CS Club, Student Council, Environmental Club, and Track
also @Potter3846 My schedule is
- Pre AP Pre Calculus
- Pre AP English 1
- Pre AP Bio
- Pre AP Human Geo
- AP CS
- French 2
- and then 2 courses my school requires for freshmen, both weighted
Have any of y’all taken the sat yet? I took it just for practice and got a 1440. I have a feeling I’ll have trouble raising it up a lot more though 
whatever I’ll try to study the best that I can
@pldmua2003 No, but that’s a really good score and we haven’t even started high school yet! By the time you’re a junior you will have no problem getting a 1500+!
I haven’t taken the SATs yet, and I probably won’t until junior year, I absolutely loathe standardized tests.
My extracurriculars for freshmen year:
Science Olympiad (my high school is a regular top 3 at nationals, it’s going to be intense if I want to make the team by the end of sophomore year)
USABO (the studying should go hand in hand with some of my Scioly events)
Volunteering at a museum (not school-related)
Art Club --> minimal effort, I’ll probably just go to finished up art class projects anyway
Squash/Badminton --> Literally the only two sports I play, since it’s a winter sport, I probably won’t do it since Science Olympiad will probably interfere with it
Reading Olympics --> I read a lot anyway, I’ll just replace the books I’d normally read with these books, no biggie
Academic Decathlon --> Mainly doing it because the club leader made it sound super interesting, don’t know if I’ll stay, depends on time commitment
Art Magazine --> Definitely, art is life

I took the SAT for CTY not too long ago. I didn’t pace myself very well, so as a result, I didn’t get to answer a few questions towards the end of the writing and the math sections. The room was also absurdly cold, that in itself kind of ruined my momentum too. Regardless, I scored a 780V and 620M on a practice test I did the day before the test!
I also took the SAT for CTY and I did awfully which I fully predicted—I accidentally skipped a math section by not fully managing my time, and went to the test with no breakfast and 5 hours of sleep. I got a 1220 (670 E, 550 M). I’m doing some test prep over the summer and believe that I can raise it to at least a 1400 by September, and hopefully 1540+ by junior year.
I really don’t want to take the SAT I think I will take the ACT. I just don’t like how the SAT is set up. I’ve taken some parts of the ACT but not the whole thing at once.
Hey guys,
Just found out there is a Class of 2021 thread haha. Anw, what are you guys doing this summer? I am doing Arts and Algebra 2 online.
This is actually the FOURTH time I’m saying what I’m doing this summer in the same thread… but here goes: volunteering at natural history museum,visiting family, taking Biology H
haha, I’m sorry to not read the whole thread
I also really want to do Biology over the summer but I’m in Texas so that course require an EOC exam so I cant =((
I’m excited to announce that I’ve been awarded the student with the highest achievement in my eighth grade class during my graduation. I didn’t expect to get it!
What achievements did you get? @raventhemage
@noeyeskid It was a plaque that says:

@raventhemage omg that’s awesome, congrats!
just got my transcript for this year - lowest grade was a 97, lowest grade on a high school course was a 98, and because i’m almost positive our district weights honors and AP classes the same i’m going into high school with 5 HS credits and a 4.8 weighted GPA (4.0 UW). pretty dang proud
Oh wow! I got a 96,97,98,99,and a 99 in my classes (others are nongraded, annoying electives like phys ed and family consumer science)
I got a 94,95,98,98,100 in my classes. My highest grades are in STEM classes and I’m starting highschool with a 4.0 UW.
I just got the High Honors for CTY!!
