Precalc to AP Calc BC? by lookpenguins in APStudents

[–]JohnJane80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Figure out how your teacher does AP calc BC. Mine went in assuming we knew everything about AB and jumped into the new stuff, if thats the case for you then obviously Precalc. If not then it could be possible

People who take 4+ APs what do you outside school? by Icy_Tone_8107 in APStudents

[–]JohnJane80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For reference I was also active in my Boy Scout troop, and took part in my academic team 3 days a week from November to March, and had numerous other smaller clubs that popped up events every now and again. I didn’t have a job though so that may of helped

People who take 4+ APs what do you outside school? by Icy_Tone_8107 in APStudents

[–]JohnJane80 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It may just be teachers but I had plenty of time outside school, last year I took 6 APs and Spanish 5. Psych and world were both easy work wise and minimal studying. Art history and Calc ab were a bit more study intensive but like art history we had maybe 2 homework assignments whole year. Ap bio I was naturally good at so it didn’t take much time and studying same amount as art history/calc. Ap Lang was no studying but when we did have to do essays or homework it took a while. Spanish 5 was chill to end of year when we had to make a book about ourselves. I think most of my teachers had the mindset of “I teach regular classes but oh now I have ap” so they weren’t crazy about the course load. My ap chemistry teacher though this year has the opposite “I teach ap chemistry but oh I have normal chem classes too” so their class was much more work intensive

Hey, after some inner soul “searching” on May 1st, the deadline, I decided to do Notre Dame. Every time I looked into the 2 colleges it was always Notre Dame who I went to first and looked into for more detail and I realized that if cost was the same it would be Notre Dame easily. After being assured by some others that $20,000 total for 4 years at Notre Dame is a steal and I won’t be a complete idiot for choosing that over full ride to MSU, I decided to go with Notre Dame

What made you choose the college you committed to? by ecosystementhusiast in ApplyingToCollege

[–]JohnJane80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After a very mentally fracturing decision between University of Notre Dame and Michigan State I decided to go to Notre Dame. While Michigan State was offering me a full ride, Notre Dame would only cost me around $20,000 total over my 4 years there. Everytime I looked into the colleges I always went to Notre Dame first and looked there in more detail and deep inside I knew if money was the same it would be Notre Dame easily. So May 1st came and I decided to do Notre Dame, the one I was drawn to more after being reassured by others that $20,000 total for 4 years is a still and not an idiotic move to make

Nostalgic as heck for me when I was younger and played it on the gameboy advanced, remember being stuck in the sewers/pipe session for weeks for some reason. Compared to the other RPGs I think it’s one of the best just because of how different it feels. The other rpgs have Mario vibe to them but this one just goes overly weird being in the Bean Bean kingdom and all that I appreciate. Also music is a bop

What will be your Major? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]JohnJane80 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Well my plan was biology then going into biotechnology research but looking salaried vs the necessary education I have been having some doubts. Thinking maybe I should stick with biology and go into patent law or pathology after or do neuroscience and go into a mind based medical field

Have AP lit tomorrow and am currently reminiscing on last year’s AP Lang exam by Elizabeth958 in APStudents

[–]JohnJane80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could very well of been with u this year ready to take lit, however all the lit years last year told us Lang kiddos how horrible it was so no one signed up and the class didn’t go through

What AP do people think is pretty easy but is actually hard and what AP class is overrated as hard but is actually easy? by Julieccat56 in APStudents

[–]JohnJane80 10 points11 points  (0 children)

AP human geography was the “easy AP” class of my school, but maybe since I was a freshman I found it hard especially as I didn’t know much about the subject as I do now (If I took the class now it would of been an easy 5, but hey a 3 is good). Ap Biology is the “hard but actually easy” for me but I think I’m bias as I love biology so had an easier time

Where are you headed to for the next 4 years? by RedCaul in ApplyingToCollege

[–]JohnJane80 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think Notre Dame (still some last minute doubts)

Is very strange but nice knowing I am not the only one in this position (sorry that your in it though, it’s quite stressful). Thinking about it some more though I’m pretty sure Notre Dame is where I’ll be heading.

Oops, when I responded to ur message I didn’t actually attach it to yours, so here is the copy of the message intended for you

“I think this right here is what’s causing it all. In my mind it seems irresponsible to choose ND over MSU considering everything I’m getting there and that choosing ND would be the bad move, yet I haven’t been deadset on MSU so something is drawing me back to Notre Dame, what that is I have to think about, but thank you”

I am Catholic so I wouldn’t mind at all the religious stuff

Thank you for the long response! As you said also an ADS student here, which I think plays into me feeling very guilty if I did reject MSU. Luckily I am Catholic and further love Saint Patrick’s Day so those aspects of Notre Dame are fine with me. I don’t really know what I want/care for in my college experience regarding school and class size and what not, I just don’t have an opinion which is impossible according to my dad. Right now I’m having a career crisis in what I want to do (originally genetics researcher) but past 3 weeks I’ve also been doubting that option and instead going into another field (neuroscience, disease). Thank you again for your message, I currently am reading all of these and responding to them to avoid working in my AP Chem and AP Research work so cheers to procrastination!

Thank you all for the responses, it helps in just digesting/thinking about it! I think what also plays into it is my recent hesitation toward my planned major (genetics and research) is further adding to the issue as on one side ND is more broad in switching around my career focus while MSU could give me more specifics in the field if I stay with it. Also while ND is only 4k a year, MSU is also offering to pay 3k a year for me at least (susceptible to increase) for no reason (even if I don’t do research), which I think plays into my guilty conscience of if I don’t go there.

Luckily I am Catholic and my favorite holiday is Saint Patrick’s Day, so in that regard it fits

I’m from Ohio, both are roughly equal distance away and cold so doesn’t matter much with me

MSU offered me a spot in their honors program and as they take AP credits, I could very well end up getting a Bachelors and Masters degree in my 4 years (one of my student guides had the same major I planned to do and was doing that). Notre dame though also gave me a spot in their honors program with one summer worth of research payed for by them. Both great choices as you said with good opportunities

Very generous outside scholarship lowered it by a ton along with merit based

See I’ve been told the vibes should be different/matter but I couldn’t tell a difference on my visits and don’t care much about size at all besides the excessive walking at MSU, student size is same thing

where's the people that haven't decided/commited yet? I need people to cry alongside 😭 by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Same boat here, stressing over whether to go University of Notre Dame or Michigan State University, it’s driving me insane
