<p>@Yakisoba‌ lolz who needz shcoolz when u get sweg?!</p>

23

<p>lol. well either way, if you load up too much, feel better by knowing everyone is suffering with you, if you have less courses, feel great that there are people out there with the weight of the world on their shoulders, being smashed by them all, so that they can’t even do well on the ap tests (not true at all but hey, feel good about yourself, that’s number 1)</p>

24

<p>You guys go to awesome schools, you all have amazing schedules, and your schedules are all hard.</p>

25

<p>well actually it doesn’t take an elite private school for a rough schedule. We have ap’s except some of them are such a joke that I learned more in a week of self study than I learned in a year(but it was a nice class to take naps in). In addition, I appreciate not being in a super elite school because

  1. save money for fun gadgets like smartphones and SAT books (way better than any video game)
  2. save time so you can make your EC’s super awesome while getting high grades easily
  3. take life easily so you don’t get stress and die early</p>

<p>Appreciate whatever situation you are in (unless if your international and trying to go to US… that’s rough but at least you know more languages) and try your best</p>

26

<p>I actually found out that I go to one of OPs rival schools, and I have to say its pretty competitive</p>

27

<p>ap eng, ap stat, apush and French aren’t all that difficult. AP calc bc and ap bio are the most challenging classes on your list. I know because I had a similar schedule. I know because I go to Bronx Science? </p>

<p>Anyways, I’m sure a lot of kids load up on aps these days and have similar and as challenging schedules as yours. </p>

28

<p>At my school that is the most basic schedule one can have. We are the most competitive public in the tri-county area but aren’t ranked and we are all pretty chill. And we actually only have two Asians. Academic excellence is not a color :wink: </p>

<p>This isn’t too bad. Are you doing any ECs? Most people on here have competitive schedules like this but do hours of ECs on top of them, those are the ones drowning it work. Here is what I plan for my senior year to look like:</p>

<p>Co-Captain meaning 1 of 2 leaders.</p>

<p>What are you doing for ECs? I can give advice if you want it :)</p>

<p>I have volunteered at my local library, my local Emory Hospital for a VolunTEEN program and also the Northside hospital volunteer program… Also additional volunteering work through clubs such as Key, etc… I also tutor kids at my middleschool through a program named 121Reach If I have spare time after school.</p>

<p>As far as EC’s go, I haven’t really done any sports except track for 1 year but I dropped out during middle of the year due to schedule conflict :\ I plan to get a job sometime this year, however I’ve been working at my parent’s small business for several years now during summer (not sure if that counts though)… I am also leader of a charity/fundraising program towards Ebola and major viruses</p>

31

<p>Others I didn’t include, but I don’t think they were as good… hm. I’ve done several blood drives, went through several St. Jude’s Give thanks walks… etc</p>

<p>If it makes you feel better my old school was a lot worse.
Literally the top 20 SAT scores were all 2400s and had 30 valedictorians.
I’m so glad my school isnt that bad anymore :D</p>
