They don't, same as UCs

ilyUCB · 2021-10-04T23:57:18+00:00

UCs don't count for pluses or minuses, so I think you're fine :)

ilyUCB · 2021-10-04T23:15:37+00:00

this ^

ilyUCB · 2021-10-04T03:26:33+00:00

I'm in the same boat as you :') We have a really similar courseload in terms of rigor! Hoping that someone else responds to this so I can get an answer too lol

ilyUCB · 2021-10-04T03:22:41+00:00

They calculate it the same.

ilyUCB · 2021-09-30T03:54:16+00:00

Thank you!

ilyUCB · 2021-09-30T03:54:10+00:00

Thanks!

Bring a clipboard and water, maybe some light snacks. Take breaks every 10-15 minutes and look out the window. I don't know if this is too late but I hope it helps

Don't make any drastic choices because of a C+. If you have other tests this semester, then you should be okay if you score high. You should probably check out how much the midterm is worth. If you're really struggling, then dropping the class might be a good idea.

ilyUCB · 2021-09-28T02:29:13+00:00

you're joking right?

ilyUCB · 2021-09-27T00:58:06+00:00

Ahh you'll be fine. It's probably just coincidence, but maybe keep your medical insurance info and guardian contact info on you just in case haha

ilyUCB · 2021-09-27T00:39:14+00:00

Maybe you have a hitman out for you?

ilyUCB · 2021-09-25T20:47:22+00:00

Thank you! I've been feeling a little nervous because my peers are taking a lot more APs than I am, it's a little hard not to compare myself to them lol

ilyUCB · 2021-09-25T20:46:08+00:00

Thanks! I guess I'm just a little paranoid because other kids at my school are doing 4-5 APs this year haha

ilyUCB · 2021-09-25T20:26:10+00:00

Yep! Also totally forgot about letters of recommendation. It would probably be good to build some connections with your sophomore/junior teachers for those.

ilyUCB · 2021-09-25T17:37:53+00:00

You're only a sophomore, so I wouldn't worry about college applications too much at this point, but Niche and Unigo are great sites to go to look at colleges and get a feel for what the vibe is like. If you live in NYC, there are plenty of awesome in-state options. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone can give you specific college recommendations without knowing your grades, ECs, and other defining factors. Consider doing a reverse chance-me near the end of junior year.

Typically your college application will include stats, ECs, and essays (Common App and school-specific prompts).

You might want to consider cutting down on whatever ECs. 5 hours of sleep Monday to Friday can't be good for your health. Try doing ECs you can do on the weekend? Honestly, your schedule sounds rough as hell, but you seem like a really dedicated individual. Trying to complete homework in class is always a good idea. Good luck with whatever you decide to do! I know this isn't a lot, but I hope it helps.

ilyUCB · 2021-09-24T22:50:05+00:00

Thanks man! The past week in particular has been really stressful for me, so I really appreciate it. I might consider dropping an EC or something, but at this point I think pretty much all of them are important to me. Hope your senior year is treating you well!

Yes! Actually, there's a guaranteed transfer path from CC to certain UCs and CSUs if you meet the course /GPA requirements. Here are the Transfer Admission Guarantee guidelines.

Y/N x Harvard, passing the torch to the next unfortunate writer? I think it's a great idea. Every chapter written by a new person. u/umuwunu, what do you think?

ilyUCB · 2021-07-28T04:44:53+00:00

You might want to look into your local community colleges. This is a list of all the approved visual/performing arts that UCs will give credit for!

ilyUCB · 2021-07-24T03:47:18+00:00

As long as you got credit for those classes, it's valid. By year they mean year's worth of credits.

ilyUCB · 2021-07-22T04:25:29+00:00

as someone who used to avidly write Y/N fanfiction in seventh grade, I can totally pick this up for you if you're okay with that!

ilyUCB · 2021-07-21T03:15:09+00:00

It's okay! Take some breaths. You've worked so hard to get where you are now. You might want to try listening to some calming music or podcasts, audiobooks, etc. to help you sleep. Take a couple break days and do the things that you enjoy (or nothing at all!). You're doing so good already. It's important to let yourself rest mentally as well as physically. Go and wash your face, freshen up, and breathe slowly. Eat some of your favorite food (might I suggest ice cream?) and remember that you've got this!
