<p>No not everything in art but the characteristics of each era and the names of the pieces</p>
<p>Even that much art is hard. I don't think I spend enough time doing it; how long did you spend each week?</p>
<p>Hey, back to the whole my chances thing. Does anybody else have insight?</p>
<p>I started in the summer so it all may have absorbed nicely. I worked ALOT during the summer and finished the course early so I really have no STRUCTURED schedule...just the fastest possible pace conceieveable. Like this summer I finished AP Macro in like 4 weeks cuz I did not want the workload over traditional school. For the exam I did not study modern art but Guernica just caught my attention the night before and so I studied it...turns out it was on the exam :) ! It was the only modern art....sooo lucky! The FR was pie the MC was hard! It is a lot to study but just focus on what the art generally looks like and the associated traits of the period...STILL ALOT. I wish I had ur quickness of schedule DURING REG. schoo time. I am organzied yet not organized. I somehow start HW every freakin day AFTER 7 pm and stay up really really late...i guess CC is distracting LOL.</p>
<p>Hey, where in florida do u come from?</p>
<p>I thought for AP National Scholar all of your AP scores must be 4 or higher?</p>
<p>Why does evry1 praise themselves am I the only modest 1s. And why am I not an american i coulda breezed in through wid my extracurriculars</p>
<p>Tampa Florida</p>
<p>I think that you have to have 8 grades of 4 or higher. I have gotten eight 5s and one 3. I don't quite understand what u mean, soumyajeet. Anyway, I'm off to a tailgate party before the football game.</p>
<p>Oh, I forgot to mention in my post yesterday about Harvard coming to my school. I get another interview!!! (I showed up late to the first). I have renewed confidence in my chances. The bad news: Penn State lost</p>
<p>hey maguo is your school block scheduling? Do you have 4 classes a day? If you do and have ALL those APs then WOAH! I managed 13 with block scheduling. 17 would be mad tho</p>
<p>Ah...thanks maguo for the correction. I read the AP scholar description incorrectly. That means I still have a shot at that award...</p>
<p>wow amazing. how does your school manage classes that you were able to take so many APs? that or did she self study???</p>
<p>We have a pretty messed up schedule. I don't know what even to call it. We have four classes a day, three full blocks, and one half block. The three full blocks alternate days but go full year, and the half block is everyday for a year. That means we take seven credits a year. however, previously, we had a traditional 4 block schedule that went for one semester. Read my previous post under this thread for a better description.
hey, Apfreak, do you go to Berkeley Prep? HB Plant?</p>
<p>Berkeley Prep...AHAHAHAH ...yeah right....I've no money for that! BUT the funny thing is that I went there last week on Tuesday for the Harvard meeting and saw an admissions officer. I think she liked all that I asked and had to say (did lots of research). I go to a rural school but I rather not say because if I DO get into Harvard and other people in here who don't like me get in...then that's just bad:(. I need not enemies before school even starts.Let's just hope that I will have the opportunity to actual be concerned about that after Dec 15!:)</p>
<p>Did you meet the same admissions officer that I did: Erin Fehn. I don't think that she was impressed by our group at all: A bunch of total idiotic football players showed up so they could cut class. I don't know if she was necessarily impressed by me, although I did try to stand out.
One non-football player asked "Is their any chance I could get in with a 2.5 GPA and 1110 SAT old?" I almost choked. I did ask her about college confidential and she said that Harvard does not go on this site. What kind of research have you been doing?</p>

<p>That doesn't mean, however, that individual adcoms don't visit CC. It also could pop up when adcoms are doing a Google search related to their field. Certainly, some alum interviewers visit here.</p>
<p>If one is applying Harvard EA, what's the latest by which one can have alum interviews?</p>
<p>You know, I was asking about that too. I will check on the harvard website.</p>
<p>The date of the interviews is up to the alum who interview. Harvard asks the alum to try to get the interviews done before Thanksgiving. Because alums are busy, most don't get them done until later. Usually interviews are done by Dec. 7.</p>
<p>The alums, not you, schedule the interviews. It is not held against you if the alum has to schedule an interview late in the process. It would be held against you if you did something like refuse to interview at a place that was reasonably close to you. (Don't laugh. Every year, some students post on CC asking if they can avoid interviewing because they are shy, scared, etc.)</p>
<p>Because the interviews depend on the alums' schedule, and most are very busy, if offered an interview time and place, do whatever you can to be available then. Last year, a student who lived in a remote area turned down an interview because it would have required him to drive for several hours. He was living on his own for a few months while his parents were out of the country. They had told him he couldn't leave his home town.</p>
<p>He asked the alum interview to see if there was another alum more conveniently located who could interview him. It ended up that none was available (not surprising if one lives in the hinterlands). When after getting his parents permission to drive to the original interviewr's location, the student called back the original interviewer, who no longer had the time available to do interviews. The student wasn't able to get an interview. The student was rejected.</p>
<p>I don't think that Harvard rejected the student for not having an interview that would have been so difficult for the student to go to. What I think, though, is that if the student had accepted the original offer, the interview may have tipped the student in. To be able to live alone in a rural area for months while his parents were out of town indicated that the student had a great deal of maturity and independence. Those traits would have stood out in the interview, if the student had risen to the challenge when offered the interview instead of simply asking for a more conveniently located one.</p>
