<p>not all HL classes (for example, physics).</p>
<p>but, in my humble opinion, it's harder to get a 6/7 in an HL IB test than it is to get a 4/5 in an AP test. And then the 4 gets more credit than the 7 in some cases. Well, I probably seem like a complainer, but I guess it really doesn't matter in the end.</p>
<p>Imagine yourself next year when you have you to worry about your first set of exams here at hopkins. you are begging to get in now but will be crying for it to end in a year, just like we all are now (don't worry its not really that bad!)</p>
<p>on a positive not, your first exams here will all be pass/fail</p>
<p>good luck with the decisions though</p>
<p>"on a positive note, your first exams here will all be pass/fail"</p>
<p>Do many people fail? Also how will those grades be factored into your GPA?</p>
<p>you scare me spe07
is it really like that?</p>
<p>"(don't worry its not really that bad!)"</p>
<p>So I guess it's not that bad...</p>
<p>hahah thanks for filling up the gaps run<em>n</em>hit. =) Hmm..but I felt that Theory of Knowledge was more philosophy based, not psychology (since we take our TOK course simultaneously with our philo course...)</p>
<p>Anyways, yeah...fun stuff, lol. not really, haha, but 's a good experience I guess. And Higher Level math covers as far up as linear algebra and discrete math stuff, which is why there is less emphasis on calc...pretty much HL is for super math geniuses, our IB coordinator makes us all take SL for math (unless the student is taking linear alg or higher). yeah, IB is a big stinker :P</p>
<p>people fail. i dont know how many do, but it does happen</p>
<p>exam week is an extremely difficult time here is hopkins, most people aren't too fond of it</p>
<p>How is the first semester factored into your final GPA?</p>
<p>(since the classes are pass/fail)</p>
<p>so xtina.. ure doing Math Methods? (cos i thought im the only one whos doing methods and applied to hopkins) =P</p>
<p>hello everyone... so i've been reading this now for quite awhile and i feel like i spying into your lives by not saying anything... so lovely to meet some people as crazy as me! i put myself up on that Frappr website for no real reason other than i'm OBSESSIVE. can this wait PLEASE end? and is anyone else still obsessively checking that financial aid ISIS to see if maybe they put decisions... gahh. how in the world can we make it until Thursday?
we should brain storm stress relief ideas. ready, set, go!</p>
<p>^hahaha yeah I check the financial aid isis website all the time, I feel so pathetic. Honestly this week is going to be, simply put, CHAOS lol. Stress relief for me has been watching tons and tons of movies lol. By the way, I like your frappy picture, it's very celebrity-ish, you look like a model =)</p>
<p>i cant believe it's only like 4 more days until i know the fate of my future. hahah.</p>
<p>as long as you guys are on the ISIS subject....</p>
<p>AHHH i can't make a suitable password! it's so frustrating...i've tried combinations of letters and at least 2 numbers (pword starting w/ a letter, of course), pwords that are between 8 and 20 characters long, but STILL....it denies my passwords everytime and says that they don't allow "special characters". how can numbers like 3 and 8, and letters like c and f be "special" ?!</p>
<p>help!</p>
<p>ISIS?? Have I been in the dark? what is this madness about checking for finaid all about? :)</p>
<p>cvasoontara, i"m taking SL Math this yr...is that called math methods? lol</p>
<p>well, it's because avenger and allisonmichelle were talking about compulsively checking ISIS, and i was like..hey, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. but THEN, i couldn't get my password approved -_- so now im frustrated..</p>
<p>^you mean xindianx =p</p>
<p>yea...i don't even know what ISIS is...</p>
<p>It's all good though...</p>
<p>people! theres 3 days left
