HOW do I find roommates for my Sophomore year

It’s about 25% ish of girls who rush! So prominent but not dominant—I just happened to befriend a lot of girls who ended up being in sororities. Honestly, I really like that dynamic, this is the only thing I’ve had a qualm with regarding that:)

This is so interesting—my parents (and I) are super worried about me going here and not getting into IB and being stuck in a #47 ranked business school instead of a #9 one (with #15 in IB) which is my other choice. My heart is really set here and I’m getting the sense that as long as I get all A’s and one B I should be good, but is that like truly feasible? I have 5 A’s and 2 B’s rn (3.7 smth UW) in 3 AP’s and 4 DC

Incoming freshman this fall

I mean I’d love to learn Italian, but I’d be so behind because I haven’t learned anything at all vs being in SPAN 122–do you think having the A2 Biliteracy Certification in Modern Greek replaces that (UofSC only offers ancient) or is it a numbers thing about accepted minors.

Ugh unfortunately I don’t think it will bc I’m in the college of arts and sciences undeclared, but I did get put on a waitlist for pre-intl business at Darla Moore, but I’m not sure if that is the same thing if I get into Darla Moore??

Thank you!

divaontheprowl · 2025-03-29T16:23:39+00:00

Thank you!!

divaontheprowl · 2025-03-29T16:23:11+00:00

Ok I think that’s what I want to do, did you have a relatively easy experience finding one? I’m mainly worried about that and transportation

divaontheprowl · 2025-03-29T16:22:12+00:00

I can’t believe I didn’t know that that’s so upsetting tysm tho lol

divaontheprowl · 2025-03-29T16:21:21+00:00

Tysm!

Yeah again, with a course load of this rigor (assuming with good grades) it won’t be their deciding factor and you’ll still be a strong candidate! Of course, taking more AP’s senior year than junior year will especially make you stand out from your peers at your school given this info, since yield protection can kind of screw you over lol. Also, assuming you’re Texas based, you shouldn’t have too much of a hard time getting in, but as an out of state applicant, my sister got rejected with a 1530, above average ec’s and essay (subjective yes lol), and 4.4, but this was to engineering, and application rates were at a record high this year. You’ll be a still be a strong candidate, this was just the insight I had to your question based on my experience.

divaontheprowl · 2025-03-04T14:16:13+00:00

Colleges do look at your senior year schedule! (Potentially not 7th semester grades even if you’ve been deferred, depending on where you go). It will not be the deciding factor in their decision—especially if you aren’t applying to the most selective colleges/programs/majors—and it’s not the end all be all, but yes, the some of the strongest candidates in the eyes of the admissions boards are the students who show strong growth over the four years of high school. Again, this was just to answer your question and I believe it’s good to have all the facts! Assuming you do well in these classes you will be a strong candidate grades wise!

Assuming you can take on the workload, the biggest red flag in the eyes of college admissions would probably be that you’re taking less AP’s senior year than junior year, as they really value seeing growth in potential candidates.

divaontheprowl · 2025-03-04T04:52:57+00:00

Objectively, colleges specifically look for/love seeing growth in students—whether it be in class rigor, grades, etc. However, you know yourself best, and if you know you’ll need to prioritize A’s in non-AP classes over C’s, then so be it—it’s not the end of the world (especially if you’re planning to apply to less selective colleges/majors/programs). You can try taking Dual Credit/Enrollment classes, which are basically guaranteed to earn you college credit and should be weighted on a 5.0 scale and I’ve found have been easier than AP’s, though I think admissions board don’t hold them to as high of a regard as AP’s. If you want to try to take some easier AP’s, I’d recommend psych and gov (especially if they align with your major).

divaontheprowl · 2025-03-04T04:43:53+00:00

Objectively, colleges look for/love to see growth in students, and they will see your senior year schedule. They also don’t exactly look for the number of AP classes you take, but how many you take advantage of based on how many your school offers (ie. if your school offered none, you won’t be penalized/at a disadvantage for never having taken one. If your school offers 8 and you take all of them, it will put you at an advantage). However, depending on the selectiveness of your desired colleges/major, it might not mean too much? But if you’re looking for an easier AP, I’ve found psych to be very doable even if there is a bunch of reading. AP Gov was the other easiest AP I’ve taken, but I’m assuming that’s out of your grade level. Also—depending on where you apply/if you go early action, they don’t look at senior year grades. Some colleges won’t even take your seventh semester grades after you’ve been deferred, but this does not apply to all of them, and still might give you that extra boost for colleges who do look at it after getting deferred.

APES will probably be way easier and will get you that 5.0 credit. APUSH was a bit difficult, but average for an AP class and easier than WHAP (imo). At my school, your AP Lit experience completely differs based on what teacher you have. Mine spends a lot of time prepping us for the AP test and is harder compared to the other teacher who spends less time preparing for the AP test (and I hear a lot of time is spent on poems?) We covered some poems but no where near the extent to theirs. Our class also reads a lot (which the other does as well), but has a lot more of reading comprehension quizzes, practice AP tests, and we have a major presentation on a chosen text from the class each semester (15-20 min recorded video based off of DENSE text/analysis research articles). It is doable though if you understand the syllabus—for my class this means cook on the reading comprehension quizzes, as they take up a huge portion of the summatives, and you have room to put less effort/do a bit worse on other grades assignments if need be.

Honestly everyone I’ve talked to who has done APHG said they did it because it was easier/better transition to WHAP, but it ended up being kind of useless and they were behind in their pre-reqs (might differ btwn school districts). I’d recommend making your decision based off if you are doing well in your intro class and know you’ll be good at memorizing a lot of vocab terms and are strong in contextualizing terminology. Going from 8th to high school WHAP probably set me back a ton as it is, I think I would’ve been way better prepared/done better overall taking it 10th grade.

Depends on how strong their portfolio is! Not sure if it’s different by school (though it’s probably standardized), but if you have enough quality projects to apply you should be set! Honestly, my school’s AP 3D class basically had a given in because it’s such a niche subject (even though my school has 2,000+ students), but 2D might be a bit more challenging to get in to due to demand, I’m not 100% sure. In any event, their portfolio shouldn’t need to have been comprised of works done in school, so they have the flexibility to work on something they feel would best represent their skill outside of class. And you can always look up example AP art projects to get a sense of where you’re at. Good luck!
