<p>Excellent. I was going to sign up anyway. :D</p>
<p>No one even knows about programs like Apex and EPGY at my school. I was going to take a summer course with Apex last summer (Global Politics), but I went to Japan for two weeks instead.</p>
<p>Jonathan, I think Masterus meant that I couldn't do that, not you.</p>
<p>Masterus, the reason the program is not longer in existance is because it is no longer applicable to currant grading programs or school requirements. This was in a time when very few people graduated high school, and there weren't any "AP" or "advanced" classes. They got in because they were extremely smart and hard-working. Obviously I wouldn't be able to do that, because times have changed. By the way, I am in the advanced classes that are offered at my school. It would have been very nice to do programs like EPGY, but for me it is not a viable option; not eveyone has the resources available to them that you do.</p>
<p>I would disagree that going to Harvard for graduate school is "is a horrible indicator of intelligence" and that undergraduate is "what counts." I'm suprised someone who is so keen on attending Harvard would think something like that. What leads you to believe that?</p>
<p>I'm thinking about doing French I or Spanish I, but they're $350 each.</p>
<p>Which program is this?</p>
<p>Jonathan, isn't summer break 10-12 weeks???!!! Don't do APEX, do EPGY. Many do it throughout the school year.</p>
<p>Apex.</p>
<p>Also, if I were to attend an IB prep school in Canada near my dad's house and I applied to US universities, would I be considered an international applicant? (I'm a dual citizen).</p>
<p>EPGY doesn't offer languages. Why would you want to learn spanish 1 on a computer...?</p>
<p>EPGY doesn't offer language courses. Expository Writing sounds cool, but it says I need a "virtual classroom."??</p>
<p>How much does it cost? I couldn't find it on their website.</p>
<p>Nope, because there is virtually no border between the US and Canada, which is reinforced.</p>
<p>Foreign language isn't offered at my middle school, so if I go to Greenhills, most students will be in their second or third year of a foreign language in ninth grade. At Ashbury College, in Canada, a lot of students will already be fluent in French, English, and possibly their native tongue because students from over thirty countries attend Ashbury. If I went here, I would like to obtain the IB Diploma and the Ashbury Bilingual Diploma.</p>
<p>Jonathan, have you taken any tests yet?</p>
<p>Nope, I've only taken MEAP and IOWA tests. No, I do not live in Iowa. I don't know why they call it that.</p>
<p>I'm taking the SSAT tomorrow. </p>
<p>I don't need to take any other tests.</p>
<p>No, Masterus, they didn't get into Harvard College; they didn't apply. It was a particular program for children that Harvard was not involved in.
I kind of see your arguement though, that what really counted is where you attend college because that can determine where you attend graduate school. However, I respectfully disagree with it, because if where you attend colleges is reflected in where you attend graduate school, then they would both be indicators. Anyway, that wasn't even my original point. I just thought of it because someone said that you went to Harvard at 14 as a joke, and then I remembered that.</p>
<p>I usually proofread my posts, but if you see any errors you're welcome to tell me, though I doubt that you would really want to waste your time doing telling me about my punctuation errors. </p>
<p>Sorry, but you never said what grade you were in, and I've forgotten if you posted somewhere else where you attend school. If you would post that, I would appreciate.</p>
<p>At my school, a little under 5% are in honors geometry, about 40% are in honors algebra, 40% are in regular algebra, and maybe 10% are in Algebra IA, which is where they cover only half a year of algebra. I know they don't add up; they're approximations.</p>
<p>Sorry, I said that about 20% of eighth graders take Algebra. It's actually 40%. There are two algebra classes, three regular math classes.</p>
<p>Jonathan, are the regular maths classes arithmatic and basic maths, or are they prealgebra?</p>
<p>My old middle school has 3-5 percent in Honors Geometry and one person in Honors Algebra 3,4. I'm in 9th grade. :) In my grade, there are 2-4 percent doing Honors Algebra 3,4 because people moved and 2 people doing honors precalculus. :)</p>
<p>That's worse 40 percent...wow...why are you on here?</p>
<p>Masterus.................Relax...............</p>
<p>Masterus, I don't really care about your old middle school math courses. Why are you even on the Prep School Admissions Forum? You're not applying to prep school, nor can you offer any insight to those who are. </p>
<p>You seem to go from one forum to the other and argue with people and try to cut people down. Are you really that insecure? Do you really need to say, "I'm a FRESHMAN and I'm in AP Latin. OMFG I'm so smart! Harvard will NEVER TURN ME DOWN." If you know anything about the college admissions process, you know that there are things more important than grades, such as a decent personality, and from what I see, you definitely lack.</p>
