<p>assuming that you are crazy smart, I believe that you should take all the highschool classes, both dual enrollment math classes, and online AP bio. Mabye…self study 1 AP (environmental science). Other then that, drop everything else.</p>
<p>btw biovball, do the coursera classes count for school credit and gpa? Ive signed up for behavioral neurology but I was wondering if you got your school to give you credit for it.</p>
<p>^No, they don’t. All you get is a nice certificate that the course instructors probably made in Microsoft Word and mass-produced from a printer.</p>
<p>It honestly depends on the school. Some will, some won’t. But even if your school doesn’t put it on your transcript, you can send the online course’s transcript separately.</p>
<p>Yeah I get credit for the AP Bio but not for the other online courses. I’m only doing the other online classes for my own enjoyment and growth.</p>
<p>Quick question - I’m now trying to decide between French and Latin. French is really useful obviously in international affairs and global companies, and it is also the language of my dad’s side. Plus, I want to study abroad in Paris next summer, so it would be a necessity if I ended up doing that.
However, Latin would help me learn the Latin-based languages like French, Italian, and Spanish much more easily as well as an improved English vocabulary and overall idea of the English language. Also, I am very interested in classical civilizations, so I would be able to read the original texts from great individuals such as Cicero.
Of course, I could try learning both, but since I am already learning Spanish I don’t think this would be a very good idea.
I guess my other question is would it be too late to start working to project myself as someone interested in classical studies? It definitely IS one of my chief interests (I’ve always been interested in Ancient Rome and Greece) but there aren’t really any classes at my school which would help that. Plus, I feel like I would just be way too far behind other students in the US who have been studying the classics since freshmen year.</p>
