The thread for the class of 2008 to talk about whats going on during school hours...

What classes?
Is Junior Year kicking your "butt"?
AP? IB? SATII? SAT?
Tutors?
College ideas?
Extra-curriculars?

Speak Up! Speak Out!

Ignore this. I am an idiot. I didn't realize that Math Analysis is Pre Calc

Noooooo!

So I found out that BU wants:

Four years of English

Three to four years of mathematics (precalculus/calculus recommended)

Three to four years of laboratory science

Three to four years of history and/or social science

Three to four years of a foreign language

All of this is okay with what I have except for the part where they say "precalculus/calculus recommended" because next year my only two choices are Stats or Math Analysis so I will not make it that high in math.

They also won't accept my 3 on my AP European History exam.
And I need at least a 4 on my AP chem exam for them to accept it.

I think I am going to cry.

I was also looking into Northwestern University. I think this school has become my 2nd choice.

The also won't except my 3 on the AP Euro test but I only need a 3 to get some credit on the AP chem test.


However, unless I get my GPA up I doubt I will get into either one.

They would never even know what hit them.


Although if I really want to get into BU, ( which I do) I need to step it up academically.

News Report from the Future:
...Boston continues to burn this evening as Ampmaster and LTR, students at local boston colleges attempted to go off their campus and meet to have a drink at a local tavern. This action was met by riots and protests set up by local orginizations. The riots intensifyed as the two friends actually made it in to the bar and attempted to drink their beer together in peace while discussing sundry things ranging from class, to an easy escape route from the mob surrounding the bar...

Well, I'm scared! LOL Hey, I just realized, I might end up in Boston too. Or near it, I'm applying to Mount Holyoke which is in like a suburb of Boston. I'm never going to get in though....
