<p>On one of the sections regarding your high school classes it asks,</p>
<p>"Which courses did you like, dislike or perceive as weak preparation for college?"</p>
<p>with Math, Physics, Chemistry, English, Social Sciences, and Language.</p>
<p>A drop-down box has the choices, "Perceived as Weak, Want to take at Hopkins, and both perceived as weak and want to take at Hopkins"</p>
<p>however, dont all three options mean the same thing? if i perceived my high school education in Calc AB was weak, wouldnt i want to take it at Hopkins? what if i didnt think it was weak?</p>
<p>how do i answer this?</p>
<p>Systematically. Seems fairly straight forward but try to view it as a Punnett Square type:</p>
<p>-----------------------------(A) WEAK PREP-------------(B) OK PREP</p>
<hr>
<p>(1) WANT TO TAKE ----------------1A---------------------1B</p>
<hr>
<p>(2) DO NOT WANT TO TAKE -------2A-------------------- 2B</p>
<p>Your choices are perceived as the following:</p>
<p>Perceived as Weak, (2A)
Want to take at Hopkins, (1B)
Both perceived as weak and want to take at Hopkins (1A)</p>
<p>Perhaps that helps…</p>
<p>Wealth, I was very good at genetics in high school and your analogy confuses me more! :)</p>
<p>My interpretation is that, let’s say you’re a history major who took AP Calc in high school. As a history major, you don’t need to take calc at Hopkins and you could just walk away with the credits, as opposed to say, a mechanical engineer who would definitely need the knowledge.</p>
