dasox24 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I'm pretty sure someone started a thread like this last year, so I though we'd do it again while we're on the topic of colleges and going back to school. Whether you're in high school or college, just post classes your taking and any thoughts you like to share on them. As for me, I'm taking: AP Biology AP English Physics Honors Spanish IV Pre-Cal Religion (I go to a private school) I'm taking a study hall also for a period each semester, so I've got to take an online course to fill my last elective to graduate. Has anyone here taken any online course like that that'd they'd recommend. It has to be an "arts" class, like Music History, Guitar 101, Drawing, etc. Something along those lines, and I've already taken Art History.

Heads22 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 There's a 4 year ag science cirriculum no one takes. There is a community college satelitte center on campus, though, so there's about 10 college credit courses we can take. LOL Don't bash though, I made the dean's list.

You're gonna have no free time, whatsoever. The only good thing is that it will keep you focused rather than, i.e., putting off your homework to play video games, and then never getting it done. If you're taking all of those, your probably pretty damn smart, and know what your getting into. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're taking all of those, your probably pretty damn smart, and know what your getting into. Good luck. I agree. I know it will be tough but I like a good challenge. Thanks for the compliments. The reason for talking such a tough schedule is because the colleges I plan on visiting or attending all said that they give an edge to people who take harder classes so if your grades are a bit lower than usual, they understand that you took some crazy ass classes but still worked very hard. The admissions guy at GVSU told me that I should take any courses available that could be a precursor to my major and that he would take it into consideration when I send in my application. Some for the lasy at Rutgers. I am very happy I joined the College Partnership. It helped me get a step ahead and helped contact these colleges that were already interested in me. I have 3 shoeboxes full of letters from colleges....and I wear a size 13 shoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 1 shoe box with my academic records (report cards, test scores, etc.), and 3 shoe boxes full of letters. So far I have received letters from Akron, SCSU, GVSU, Rutgers, Loyola, UIC, Illinois, UChicago, Minnesota, and a few other schools. 1 shoe box has letters about college tips (the important 1's go on my bulletin board on my wall), 1 has letters about applications and school info. The 3rd box has miscellaneous stuff from all colleges. The coolest thing was when GVSU sent me a $80 book about their school including ALL information about ALL majors, courses, etc. Really cool. Right now, that is my #1 choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
