@Madison85 Eight AP’s are more than doable at my school, the average number of exams for a grad is 12. We run year round so it’s not actually that big of a deal. Plus our classes are less homework based and more applied learning. I found that at some of my public schools advanced just meant more busy work, not actually more learning and that’s very different at my current school and also allows me time for a full time job.
I partnered with a local music business to start it, they also helped with a lot of the logistics of my programs!
@QuintoSol I don’t want to know if I can get “extra points” I want to know if I will be penalized for marking it if I don’t yet have a legal registration in my tribe.
@lookingforward I always feel sort of awkward posting stats and stuff, our school has great guidance but most of our students go abroad to college in Israel because I go to a predominantly Jewish school and it is cheaper I guess? Plus it’s of cultural significance I think.
I honestly don’t know exactly what I’m looking for. I got flown out to a couple places that I really liked. I liked Yale and Dartmouth very much when I was there, but as you said these schools are a long shot for anyone. I want to major in Psychology/Education. I want to be a teacher but I also want to go to a school where I can still take science and Math classes outside of my major. So schools that have schools within them and limit a student from taking other courses are not a good fit either. I like Ithaca and they are a “safety” of sorts but not financially. I have great grades, test scores and what I would like to think is a very unique essay but I also have literally negative dollars in my bank account at the moment … so money’s the real issue here.
