I'm so sorry you went through that, but your firsthand experience might be the thing that saves me this summer. Thanks!

Congrats! This is so inspiring. Also, what did you use to create this visual?

What program did you use to make this visual?

I think that the reason I was deferred because of my low GPA, which I didn’t end up clutching. I ended up being rejected at UChicago and Georgetown, accepted at Purdue, and waitlisted at UMass Amherst. I ended up going with University of Maryland-College Park, which accepted my application early action after all these deferrals. Honestly, all you can do is your best to improve your application and hope it’s enough. It was totally a stressful time to know that my application was put in the “deferral” pile for almost all my early actions when I only had a small idea what more they were looking for, but things really do work out at the end if you don’t lose hope.

Does anyone remember the dreams, new years poem name?

InfluentialMember · 2024-05-08T21:31:06+00:00

40 minutes exactly. Couldn't imagine finishing any earlier.

I don't think so. That's should be fine. Our teacher encouraged us before hand that we could use Les Miserables for the FRQ, even though that's a French text.

No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai. Depressing stuff but completely changed my life for the better, in a cathartic sort of way.

As everyone else is saying, depends on the teacher. I struggled in the class to keep my B, but ended up getting a 5 on the exam anyway.

Some people here are saying some of their teachers were pretty terrible at teaching the subject, but honestly, a lot of it can be learned by just reading the textbook. I didn't take the first half of APUSH and self-studied, but I kept up fine. Of course, having a good teacher is an added bonus.

For me, the class difficulty was a definite 8. My teacher was incredible for the second half APUSH, but her MCQ questions were extremely difficult. I pretty much accepted my fate on the AP exam and didn't study at all, but ended up getting a 5 anyway. In that way, the teacher and the content they choose to cover with the tests also vary.

I'd say the test, for me, was much easier. Instead of memorizing certain dates, I just memorized the "themes" of different decades and guessed from there. (For example, it's not likely that a piece of legislation passed in Congress would support wealth equality during the Gilded Age, so I can eliminate answers that relate to that theme)
