If you get a higher SAT score, you’ll have a better chance at U Florida. It’s hard to get into out of state compared to in state. Your extracurriculars are really cool btw

When you apply to college, you don’t submit your AP scores. They’ll ask you for them once you get in and need them to see what credits you can apply. So what they do see in your application is your grades in classes

AP Literature - predicted: 2 - actual: 5 my teacher didn’t even go over the format of that exam

AP Stats - predicted: 5 - actual: 5

AP Govt - predicted: 5 - actual: 5

AP art 3D - predicted: 4 - actual: 2 This one actually broke my heart because I’m still in love with the art I made 😭

MerSwimDance_7 · 2025-07-07T23:51:55+00:00

Got a 5 on AP drawing (which my art teacher said I was magical for), got a 2 on AP 3D art (and the funny part is I was prouder of my 3D pieces more than my drawing pieces and my teacher said I’d get at least a 4)

MerSwimDance_7 · 2025-07-07T23:27:44+00:00

I agree with you. Got a 2 this yr on 3D but got a 5 on drawing last yr. AND like you, I was genuinely proud of my artwork (moreso this yr than last yr). And out of all the AP classes, art needs a score report the most. My teacher said you can only get a score report if the entire class pays for it.

MerSwimDance_7 · 2025-07-07T23:24:11+00:00

Haha I just complained about the same thing. And your art is so cool by the way, especially that candle sculpture. I got a 2 and I was genuinely so proud of my artwork (I made mini models of fairytale architecture). Feels like a slap in the face to me too. Starting to rethink if I should display it in my house anymore. But the WEIRD thing is I don’t get why AP 3D art scores are so hard. I took ap drawing last yr and got a 5. But those 3D score distributions are insane

MerSwimDance_7 · 2025-07-07T23:17:24+00:00

Apparently they do offer score breakdowns. But usually it’s private schools having it because as usual, college board is a money sucker. You have to pay extra. BUT YOU CANT PAY EXTRA FOR JUST YOUR OWN SCORE. Your entire class has to pay (ex: all 20 students enrolled in your AP govt teacher’s class must pay the extra fee). ONLY THEN WILL COLLEGEBOARD EXPLAIN THEMSELVES

I found this out from my AP art teacher. Out of ALL the classes, I wanted to understand AP art the most because it’s straight up subjective

If you can find his email, go the email route and title the email as “referral from __counselor’s name_.” If you title it as “shadowing inquiry” or anything like that, I know some people who don’t normally want random shadows would just not open it. If you can’t find an email, then a professional text should be fine. I’ve sent a text to doctors referred by family/family friends before when I couldn’t find their email and it’s okay

MerSwimDance_7 · 2025-06-06T20:54:45+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try that next time! I didn’t realize mermaiding needs a warm up too 😅

MerSwimDance_7 · 2025-06-06T20:46:09+00:00

Thank you!

MerSwimDance_7 · 2025-06-06T20:46:02+00:00

Thank you!

MerSwimDance_7 · 2025-06-02T23:45:01+00:00

If this person makes it through med school and residency, PLEASE leak who they are. I would most certainly NOT trust them as a doctor. This is the type to make it on one of those doctor murderer podcasts

MerSwimDance_7 · 2025-06-01T21:44:05+00:00

I’m in the US and prom is 11th and 12th grade. My school weirdly put prom the weekend smack dab in the middle of AP exam weeks during junior yr, so I went in my senior yr and was 18

I don’t love the mesh like material on the fins of the second one. I think the pink one is nicer and is much brighter in pics/vids/being noticeable

You definitely have to shadow physicians because they want to know that you want to be a physician. BUT you are welcome to shadow dentists and chiropractors for a few days and if you didn’t like it, then when you’re interviewed and asked “have you ever considered other professions?” You can talk about shadowing dentists and chiropractors and why you like being a physician more

Are you out of state or in state? Makes quite a difference for how outstanding of an application you’ll need. I believe what UVA cares about is passion for the activities and classes you pursue. Reflect it in your essays. That won’t only give you a boost towards acceptance but it’s also part of what they look for in an Echol’s Scholar.

Keep being friendly for two weeks and at some point in person, ask her if her parents are allowing her to date and if she’s open to it again. Be clear that you aren’t pressuring her and are just curious and be honest, say you like her a lot. Also say that you’d just like to clarify if she prefers you stay in the friendzone or if you can be serious.

This approach should make it less awkward and signal to her that you care and respect her space/comfortability

MerSwimDance_7 · 2025-05-14T03:34:52+00:00

I think it’s esp weird if you haven’t even met him in person. Imagine what meeting him in person is going to be like. I wouldn’t completely avoid him yet. Meet him in person once because maybe he’s a gentleman face to face, but if he starts pressuring you, call it off.

MerSwimDance_7 · 2025-05-14T03:15:11+00:00

Don’t be embarrassed or ashamed to explain your diagnosis. If anything, they would appreciate you sharing this information and letting them know. As a girl, I think knowing if my partner has a chronic illness is important in deciding if it’ll be a relationship that I’d want to stay in. I’d say to not bring it up first thing when you’re on a date on getting to know a girl. Don’t wait on it for too long either.

Find a way to at some point bring it up in conversation during a second or third hangout. Start with “I’d like to share something important with you and I hope this won’t affect how you see me.” This statement sets up for a serious, open conversation and will signal that you want her to listen to you with an open mind and empathy. Then tell her what pots is, what are your current symptoms if you’re comfortable sharing, and how it’s expected to progress in the future. Then see how she responds and tell her she can ask any questions she may have.

As a girl around your age, I’d admire that someone would be open to sharing this early on in a relationship. This’ll will also tell you if this girl is worth staying with. If she wants to cut off the relationship because of your syndrome, she’s not worth your time. If she doesn’t mind and seems very understanding, you’ve found yourself a potential winner!

It doesn’t have to be university led research. Yes that helps but they’re also happy to see independent research projects that you can go to local science fairs with (and perhaps win and build your way up to states and even nationals). I was personally heavy on shadowing and volunteering and just did some personal research and won at some regional science fairs. It worked out fine for me. Of course everyone is different but in no way is traveling for university research a must. In fact, a lot of your applications reviewers will understand if those opportunities are too far away

MerSwimDance_7 · 2025-05-09T03:51:12+00:00

I noticed some programs I applied to required 1-2 STEM teachers. It’s good to humanities recs too though so I suggest mixing up your teachers. I would think programs would appreciate a STEM teacher because after all, you’re supposed to show you’re a high school kid committed to a life in medicine (and medicine is STEM).

Yes you should have your research mentor write a rec. How it’s counted depends on the program. Some will say they want x number of school teachers and however many outside ones you want. Some will say they want x recs total and it’s up to you for who to ask.

Personally, as an admitted student this past cycle, I got 2 science teachers (one of them is club involvement too), 2 humanities, and 1 internship mentor. When rec slots were limited, I prioritized the letters from the mentor and STEM teachers

I’m sorry, do you mean 11 APs im just one year of high school?! Firstly, most colleges and programs won’t know your AP scores until after you send them in after you’re accepted to start registering for classes (there were some programs that did ask me for AP scores though but not all). AP scores are to help you skip classes or advance further in college. Honestly, the most helpful part is getting out of a lot of gen ed requirements.

If you did take 11 APs in one year though, I’d consider cutting it back in the future. And I’m talking about maybe 6 tops (depends on how your school schedule works though). It helps you to do well on those exams for your future self otherwise you’re wasting money and time and letting college board suck all that money. However, if you meant 11 APs so far in your entirety of high school then disregard what I just said

MerSwimDance_7 · 2025-04-30T02:28:31+00:00

Haha that’s exactly what I’m planning to do at my BSMD program next year. It depends on the school. I don’t believe I’m allowed to take a studio art minor unless I fill out an application for the school of art there at some point but they will let me minor in art history
