Which course is best to do at summer school, Chemistry or
Wold History w/Geography?

Both classes are required, so I need to take one to make room for other classes in the Fall.

If both are required, why ask?
I'd go for Chemistry, but that's a personal opinion. The two are like cats and teatowels - utterly different.
Waaait... I've just realized, this summer-school doesn't seem to be purely optional for you. In which case, I'd take the History/Geography in summer, and have the Chemistry as a spark of brilliance in an otherwise terminally dull autumn.
 
Is it just me or do people keep coming on here asking if they should take chemistry or geography in the summer?
 
take the one you like during the school year

The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
