Thanks for the awesome ideas everyone!
I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, but I'm sure I will when we get to derivatives (that's a derivative, right? lol)
Yes, this is my weighted grade; my school grades on a 4.0 scale, with each AP or Honors class getting an additional 1.0, so an A would be 5.0, a B would be 4.0, etc..
I'm currently at a 3.94 and that is around 11% in my class. I'm worried this won't be a high enough class rank (for UIUC...
I'm taking AP Physics C, both Mechanics & Electricity/Magnetism (thanks Redbelly98, I had no idea there were different semesters, or that there was even an AP Physics B option).
We got our textbooks recently so that we can finish the first 3 chapters before school starts, and it looks like...
When I apply to colleges, do you think a 4.01 GPA will make a big difference, compared to a 3.98?
I know it's only like 0.03 difference, but it would be over 4!
Input?
I'm going to be taking AP Physics next year, and I really want to get an A
(I'm going to be a senior, so in case my application gets deferred, I'll be able to improve my transcript).
I've only taken two AP classes; AP Psych and AP Computer Science, both of which I got an A in
Can you guys...
It's not a popular series, but there's a lot of sci-fi talk in there that's really interesting (mostly related to space/planets/stars). Lol just wondering if anyone has read it
I was really fascinated when Will Smith solved it in The Pursuit of Happiness, but after I saw a video on youtube explaining how to do it, and solving it myself in 3 minutes, I realized it has nothing to do with intelligence - just memorizing some algorithms
That's a bit misleading when you consider all of the different information that you experience throughout a day; maybe you read the nutritional info on the back of a cereal box when eating breakfast because you were bored - of course you're not going to remember insignificant things like that...
I have no idea what you're studying (i'm still in high school), but if I were you I'd just go to sleep now and study in the morning.
You'd be more awake and able to work the problems, but on the other hand you need to estimate how much time you'd need to learn the material.
Honestly I...
Hey guys! I'm almost certain that I want to become an engineer, but the problem is I don't know what kind I should be. I originally wanted to be an electrical engineer - the idea of organizing circuits and using switches really excited me. I just finished the electricity unit in my Physics...
