    tip for picking a roommate !! ask ur potential roommate about their “lifestyle” for ex. what time they go to sleep, do they wake up early, do they workout, etc. it’ll help u decide whether or not you’d mesh well!

    • @29wowzers
      @29wowzers 4 года назад +1

      i don’t think this is necessarily true for many colleges, but in terms of admission it can benefit you to have an idea of your major; that way you can do courses and extracurriculars that demonstrate interest on your application. once you’re in though, it’s relatively easy at most schools to change programs! i’ve heard that impacted majors like engineering or nursing can be difficult though, as you said. really just depends on the school and major!

      @savannahrodriguez4681 2 года назад

      Hello! So you're a sophomore now right? I'm a junior! I do volleyball and bowling! (thinking about joining another sport) for me personally, sports are a good way for scholarships. But they are not necessary!!!!!! You can get good scholarship and into good schools without sports! You can join clubs as well if you want! Or you can choose to just focus on school! I always recommend people join clubs to make friends and socialize but its not a necessity. If you want to join a sport later on go ahead! If you don't want to thats fine too! Colleges don't really care about sports(thats not %100 accurate, some colleges do favor those in sports that they can recruit) many look for your academics. Good GPA? Good SAT or ACT score? You'll likely find a college who will want you to go with them. Sports or no sports!

    Hi! how many AP credits transferred over for college credit and do you think its worth it?

    • @cameronlee9919
      @cameronlee9919 3 года назад

      The ap credit transferred depends on the school. I took the ap tests for spanish, biology, chemistry, and physics m. My school didn’t give credit for Spanish but I got credit for everything else. I think it was totally worth it because all of the college classes will be difficult so it’s good to skip where you can. Cause the faster you get through general requirements, the faster you get to the more interesting classes.

    Hello to anyone that knows the admission process for Stanford. I need your help.
    I'm a 13-year-old freshman and I would like any and all strategies that are going to increase my chances at Stanford.
    A brief summary of who I am: I was raised in an upper-middle-class family; however, my parents spoke little English and I grew up learning Vietnamese (my native tongue). I was born in Vietnam and moved to France at 5 years old. When I turned 9 my brother and I moved to California. I was put into remedial English (English Language Learners) for most of my elementary and middle school career; however, since then I have gained a decent enough grasp of English that I'm now in English Honors. I have a passion for learning and wish to become a neurologist.
    Classes:
    Pre Calc Honors
    English 1 Honors
    AP Chem ( I took bio and chem over the summer)
    French 3 Honors
    Intro to Computer Science
    Intro to business
    Christan Ethics
    Pe - Course 1
    Extracurriculars:
    recently started science national honors society and neuromed at my school ( I'm the president of both)
    Vice President of UNICEF club and Key club (I got the positions because my brother is the president for both causing most of the members to be well associated with me already)
    Class of 2024 Student Body President
    I'm thinking of joining Tennis and Golf
    Test Scores:
    I took the psat 8/9 last year and got a 1440 which I believed is in the 99 percentile
    I don't remember any others on the spot but just know I'm usually good with tests.

    • @alexromero6662
      @alexromero6662 3 года назад +2

      A little bit late to your comment, but I think I may be able to help. Not going to an “technically” Ivy League but I have friends who are/have and I’m going to a top 10 engineering school.
      1.)GPA/Rank- a lot of people will tell u different, but being in the top 1-2% which it sounds like you probably are will tremendously help w getting your foot in the door into most schools whether private or public. So choose your classes wisely. If your GPA is weighted, it may not be worth it to take that AP class where the teacher is known to constantly give out B’s to students. In this case, make friends with upperclassmen as much as possible. It may seem hard, but since it looks like your about 1-2 years ahead of your peers it will be easier. They are the key to selecting good clases to take and follow their advice. It especially helps if they are very studious as well.
      2.) If you can really take one or both of the clubs that you run to the next level and achieve something important in either one that would be extremely helpful towards your goal. However, as a leader make sure that you elevate your members of the club to really show leadership. With this, you can write almost any Essay college prompt back to your club experience and how u achieved something of value for yourself and others. This demonstrates how great u are to the college.
      3.) Do not get into the habit of constantly copying/cheating on assignments. I’m not saying you are but I promise that it will catch up to you. Whether you’re caught, or you get a bad grade, cheating never does you any good. Every once in a while is ok, stuff happens in life at home and you can’t do the HW, but make sure you understand what the concept is. Similar to this, don’t be everyone’s HW friend. You sound smart from what you listed as your credentials, other people will realize this as well and may (unfortunately) try and take advantage of it. For your homies who help u as well, it’s ok. But those randoms who only hit u up for HW/answers it’s not ok.
      4.) Maybe not school related but pls have a life outside of school. Don’t be so caught up that life passes u by. You can be a valedictorian( #1 rank) /salutatorian (#2 rank) and still have a life. I know this Because I am sal. And the Val. At my school does things outside of school as well. It’s way too often that kids lose themselves while trying to get ahead.
      5.) Always start applications for college early, pretty self explanatory but you don’t wanna have the stress of applications along with senior/junior year on you.
      If you have any questions j lmk and I gotchu. Hope this helps
