<p>Thank you so much for your time!</p>
<p>I guess I can assume you are a junior. The only thing that could possible hurt you would be course rigor, what courses are you taking other than APs? Everything else is pretty awesome but make sure to really pull out your passions.</p>
<p>Yes I am a junior. Here’s my course schedule for this year: AP Calc AB, American History, PE, AP Bio, Choir, American Lit, Honors Spanish, Theology</p>
<p>For next year: AP Calc BC, AP Euro History, Economics, PE, Adv Physics, Choir, CC Euro Lit (it’s like an AP), Theology, CC Psychology. I also may be taking the AP Gov exam without taking a class for it.</p>
<p>PE and Theology are required at my school, unfortunately.</p>
<p>try to take AP physics instead of advanced physics…an AP science would be good in senior year</p>
<p>We don’t have AP physics… and our AP chem teacher (who teachers the physics class as well) is terrible. I would learn absolutely nothing in that class. So I decided to go for a regular class so I would actually learn something. I had to take physics though, since I hadn’t yet.</p>
<p>its always good to take a lot of science and math… can u chance me??</p>
<p>Your stats are fine, but im afraid nothing really stands out about you. Your summers don’t seem as productive as they should be. and what about SAT subjects??</p>
<p>Well, I’m taking the subject tests in June and the SAT in Sept/Oct/whenever it is. The school I plan on applying ED to prefers the ACT, so I think I’m pretty much set on that.</p>
<p>As for summers… two years ago I volunteered 50 hours at a hospital and doing the same this summer. I really enjoy volunteering at this place, so I decided to do that instead of a job. No one can get a job anyway now, lol.</p>
<p>As for the school newspaper, I started a new organizational system that has worked tremendously well (we were having issues with that in the past). I plan on writing my essay about that. I also took over as editor for the last couple months of this year (I was promoted, if you will). That will be incorporated into my essay too, because it was tough to pick up where someone had left off. </p>
<p>I appreciate your honesty, though.</p>
