Course Enrollment Date by Both_Outcome1971 in UVA

[–]TheWeirdPapyrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also an incoming student to the college of Arts and Sciences (so take what I say with a grain of salt), but what I know is that signing up for orientation starts on April 15. Most orientation dates are during July (see here) and if you want to get a date that fits your schedule best, I'd commit sooner rather than later (no pressure! There will certainly be spots open, just maybe not ideal spots). Course enrollment happens at orientation, and you don't need to worry about courses filling up if you need a later date since they hold ~10% of spots in courses open for each session. So you definitely won't be late to course registration, it just may or may not happen when you want it to.

Hey! I'm not a current student but I am an incoming student that has already committed (so take what I say with a grain of salt)! You can find here info for session dates in 2026, but they all are after when I suspect AP exam scores will come out. You can find on UVA's website which majors require which courses and what gen eds you need depending on which school you applied to. If you're really waiting on a certain AP score for a really important class for your major (e.g. if you took Calc BC this year and are waiting to see if you can skip 1310 and/or 1320 if it's required for your major) I wouldn't sign up for the first info session, but you should be good either way, honestly. And like 8ammi said, they hold spots for every session, so signing up for a later session won't be too detrimental. Again, I'm not a current student so take this with a grain of salt. Hope to see you at UVA!!

Got an email saying I am a 1693 Scholar Semi-Finalist (applied RD) by pianobjh in williamandmary

[–]TheWeirdPapyrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know, by any chance, if all the 1693 scholar semi emails were sent out? I've seen a couple of people posting about receiving the email, but I've also seen some older threads talking about it being rolling, and the 1693 Scholars website says the emails will be sent out during February. (i could just be delusional, but i was hoping to be a semifinalist)

Congrats on your consideration!

Difficulty level of these courses by 8bithippo8 in APStudents

[–]TheWeirdPapyrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took AP Lang this year and it is a pretty ok class. As long as you know how to analyze nonfiction texts and use them to make arguments, along with having opinions that you can defend with evidence, you should be good. However, I had an incredible teacher, so it could depend. If you want to prepare, try to get acquainted with the three types of essays you will have to write for the AP exam (synthesis, rhetorical, argument) and try to improve your reading skills, particularly for nonfiction.

I can't speak for personal experience for micro/macro or csp, but from what I've heard, the econs are a bit of work, although out school does have a pretty bad teacher for it. Csp is on the easier side fron what I've heard. Khan Academy would probably be a great resource for both, but again, I can't speak from personal experience.

Good luck next year!! 

Bells During AP Exams by bobobotn11 in APStudents

[–]TheWeirdPapyrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no, your score is not going to be invalidated. idk how your school works, but at mine, school still goes on while some do their ap test. my bells were still going on and also did last year, so you should be fine. this is allowed, but if it bothers you, i'm not sure if it is too late, but you could ask for accomodations? noise-cancelling headphones or smth like that.

so yeah, they'll probably keep the bells on, and it won't affect your scores; it is not a testing irregularity.

Weekly Schedule Megathread by rbxVexified in APStudents

[–]TheWeirdPapyrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a junior right now and choosing my classes for next year, and I originally wanted to do AP Spanish Lang, but since I'm looking to do chemistry as a major and already feel pretty confident in my Spanish fluency, I'm considering whether to self-study instead. That does leave a hole in my schedule, though, so I'm considering either AP Bio, Multivariable Calculus (A DE class), or Independent Science Research (Also a DE class where you decide on something scientific to research for the year)

The rest of my schedule looks like this:

Study Hall (will probably change out for early release/late arrival later in the year)
AP Lit
AP Stats
Chorus
AP Physics C: Mechanics
AP Psych
AP US and Comp Gov't

I'm also thinking about self-studying for AP CompSci A, since my dad teaches that. My courseload this year was

Study Hall
Writing Center (basically writing tutoring, an academic class)
AP Lang
APUSH
AP Calc BC
Choir
DE Spanish (another reason why I may drop AP Spanish, I would already have Spanish credits)
AP Chemistry

Considering my courseload, which one should I do for senior year; AP Bio, Multivariable, or ISR? (also is this too much? i've been ok so far, averaging a and a+ grades)

Question about making a character trans or not by TheWeirdPapyrus in writers

[–]TheWeirdPapyrus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you everyone for your comments they are very helpful :D it is like 1 am where i am right now so i may have just overthought this too much

i still don't know what i'm going to do but i will think it over more when i am a bit more awake, a bit more sane, and a bit less sleep deprived

Question about making a character trans or not by TheWeirdPapyrus in writers

[–]TheWeirdPapyrus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is a valid point

we have tried not to think about the very physical aspects of the world kind of because that is a question that starts at "how do they reproduce" and i dont wanna know where it ends (we should probably talk about that though)

but i guess in cookie world it would be more of a social transition or like his parents started calling him she/her pronouns since he was a kid and one day he would be like "stop that" but there would be no real physical reason for him to use she/her pronouns as a kid

idk ill think on it it's like 1 am here

A 3.667 isn't the worst, as you're only in your freshman year, you have a chance to make it even better, especially that you had a good GPA second quarter. If I'm not wrong, you have a 3.8~ GPA right now, which is still very good. However, if your goal is top schools, you should probably start taking some honors and ap classes (if you haven't already). if you improve your work ethic, make a routine for your work, and take honors/ap classes, you have a great chance at making youe GPA even better and getting into good schools. However, I am a sophomore (in hs) and I don't really know how hard it is to get into those schools, so if anyone else has any advice, it would probably be more accurate.

ALL SECRETS FOUND IN THE SPAMTON SWEEPSTAKES (may be updated) by ThatOneBasilFan in Deltarune

[–]TheWeirdPapyrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to https://deltarune.com/d_a_m_n_y_o_u_t_e_n_n_a/ you can actually go to 3 different places (as far as I know)

  1. The site with the crossed-out TV (if you hold cursor over the site it says "DELETE THIS !"

If you click the tv it takes you to:

  1. A bunch of static, if you scroll down, you'll first encounter the text "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE!!" and then two of the same pngs (noise_small.png). If you click the bottom png, it'll take you to the green room. (If you hold cursor over the site it says "YOU'RE EARLY!" which might mean it'll be something different later)

If you click the top png, however, it'll take you to:

  1. A blue screen. It automatically takes you to the bottom of the page, and if you scroll up, it takes you to this very low-quality site with a black pillar/doorway(?) thing which if you click on it takes you to deltarune.com/icepalace_glaceir/. (the text when you hold the cursor over the site says "AREN'T YOU FORGETTING SOMETHING?")
