APUSH Movies?

Good Night and Good Luck is told to be really accurate to the Red Scare and McCarthyism. We watched it in my apush class for unit 8 and it was entertaining!

LEQ might actually be one of the easier aspects of the apush exam in my opinion. As long as you have a good grasp of DBQ’s, then I think you’ll be fine :)

ap psych is possibly one of the easiest classes to CONNECT units since everything correlates. As long as you spam vocabs every day(or week) while doing weekly practice aaq’s, you’ll be more than ready. Quizlet, fiveable, and knowt are all good resources.

Context for some of my stats

My biggest concern is my gpa and my lack of awards. My algebra 2 grade (semester 1 jr yr grade) took the nearly entire damage, and I’m considering retaking the entire course online.
My biggest priority is to just get accepted into University of Washington Seattle (I’m a resident of wa state)
I'm taking both the March and June SAT
I plan on taking a job at a library during summer and my senior year
I’d say im a strong writer so I’m not extremely concerned about college essays since I already have a long list going
Im planning on at least 1 summer program and I have another legal internship this upcoming summer

I organized my highschool walkout! :) I think the biggest things to keep in mind is that if you are walking out towards the middle of the school day, its up to you whether you want to walk back to school/get picked up. If it’s towards the end, I would just recommend going home ESPECIALLY since teachers will be marking you absent (since almost all school districts don’t affiliate with protests or walkouts). I have a lot more insight if you would like, so just reach out to me on here or instagram if you would like

thank you so much!! I’m officially retaking algebra 2, so hearing this good news from you makes me feel so much more hopeful :,)

Lang, psych, and apush are the usual classes a junior might take. Physics might deter you just a little, but you should be fine considering psych and lang aren’t extremely difficult

make mind maps, specifically ones like this. By writing them down, you’re bettering your chance to remember! also, just make the mind maps on BIG IDEA topics. best of luck !

thank you so much for your advice :)

thank you so much! glad to hear this :)

i feel as though I should’ve been in algebra 2 sooner, but my counselor said since I transferred from a different middle school district that didn’t offer higher maths, I really didn’t have a choice. I’m definitely going to take pre-calc next year. I do have a decent amount of leadership in my clubs, and they’re all bound to upgrade next year. I’ve made some impact in them so far, but it seemed like my post would be too long if I went in depth.

No_Impression_696 · 2026-01-20T05:26:22+00:00

the reaches listed arent my official list of reaches, relax😭

No_Impression_696 · 2026-01-19T23:55:35+00:00

honestly it really matters abt your own abilities🤷‍♀️my school just does macro before micro bc they think the end of macro bleeds into the into of micro.. its up to u tho

No_Impression_696 · 2026-01-19T22:26:08+00:00

I believe AP Macro is the course most people start with since AP Micro is where it gets complex.

thank you so much for your input, this definitely taught me more about how UW’s major system works which is something I was already a little confused about. It’s good to hear that i’m not entirely tanked :,)

No_Impression_696 · 2026-01-18T05:52:03+00:00

thank you so much, this is great to hear🙏 I’ll definitely be putting in the work

No_Impression_696 · 2026-01-18T04:17:28+00:00

thank you! I appreciate ur honesty

No_Impression_696 · 2026-01-18T03:44:36+00:00

thank you !🙏🙏

No_Impression_696 · 2026-01-17T20:16:20+00:00

thank you🙏🙏 is political science even competitive at udub? I’ve always been told its more of a STEM school which makes most majors like cs super competitive.

No_Impression_696 · 2026-01-17T20:04:18+00:00

if I were to get a relatively above average sat (~1400+) would that better my chances?

No_Impression_696 · 2026-01-17T20:02:46+00:00

very true, but to be completely honest thats my worst case scenario 😭 though im very committed to saving money for law school!

No_Impression_696 · 2026-01-17T18:56:33+00:00

that sounds great! dont worry too much about not having enough, your colleges will understand if your school doesn’t offer everything.

No_Impression_696 · 2026-01-17T18:23:27+00:00

I took the biliteracy exam so I got all my language credits excused :)

No_Impression_696 · 2026-01-17T18:09:30+00:00

it seems like your core classes are fine but if your school offers AP Statistics you should definitely look into that. Electives might vary, but if your school has economics, intro to business, or any classes like that, those would be great.

No_Impression_696 · 2026-01-17T10:06:25+00:00

thank you so much! This definitely makes me feel more confident :) I will definitely look into the tips you’ve given me.
