So discuss anything in this thread about what classes you are taking and what year of high school or college you will be taking.

[ThePlague]

This year is the last of highschool for me :D

I have no fucking clue what my classes are, because i'm a lazy ass and didn't turn in the card for picking them. Something about "you have to get it signed by your parent/guardian" crap.

With all of those classes you're taking pope, it sounds like you want to be a detective.

[Rentafence]

Senior year of Highschool. Have no idea what order my classes are in yet, but:

Law & Justice
Pre Calculus
Honors Statistics
AP Biology (woohoo get college credits)
Physics
AP Language
Obligatory PE/free period

[kid908]

Junior Year of High School (that's United States 11th Grade for over sea pplz)

I still need to have this confirmed on the day of school since our first day is when we actually get our schedule.

1. AP Psychology (semester class: SC)
2. AP Physics (year long class: YC)
3. AP English III (YC)
4. Pre-Calculus (YC)
5. P.E. (SCx2)
6. Research and Development (YC)[It's 3d modeling/animation shit. Believe it or not, this site shits are better than what the past students done for the class. I'll link to vid when I find some on youtube. I've also have more hours and experience in 3ds max than my teacher which means this class is useless to me except for maya experience.]
7. Mental Health Science (SC)
8. AP United States History (YC)
9. AP Statistics (YC)

I love math, that's why I'm doubling up and I can grad this year too, but want to stick around for 1 more year.

[teh lag]

aggh nooo i don't want to think of school yet :(

but senior year woo

but school aaaaagh :(

-Weight Lifting
-Guided Research in CS
-AP Calculus AB
-AP World History
-AP Physics B
-AP English Lit
-Originally was going to be in Sociology both semesters, but I had a conflict with the CS so now I'm in Philosophy for semester 1 and Sociology 2 for semester 2.... don't know how that's going to work out.

[Roostervier]

I saw my list some time ago on the web but they disabled the page I went to to see it. My junior year. The first semester's list goes something like this:

AP US History
Trig
English 11 Honours
Spanish III

[PopeAK49]

My God. I feel like a dumbass now. I should of never made this thread, lol. :saddowns:

[Futzy]

I'm switching schools to be the lead graphic artist for the newspaper and website of a new school, but I have to change some of my class on some day this month. If I don't call them I'm fucked; but this is a brand new school, the last school i was at just celebrated its 25th anniversary.

[kid908]

LMAO Post your last GPA you got on the report card thingy.

[FRain]

3.64 GPA last year. Sophomore year next year. Also, I had a 3.2 for most of the year and then went UP to 3.64 at the end.

[kid908]

4.0896 GPA last year. I don't know how much of it is affected by the summer class I took.

[Rentafence]

4.0896 GPA

Overinflated, overrated.

[ThePlague]

Like 2.8 or something...i'm a lazy ass

[PopeAK49]

Basically, I screwed up my whole 2nd year but my GPA is like somewhere around 3.0. I'll have to check when school starts. Also, I decided to make changes this coming school year such as actually trying my best, lol.

[teh lag]

3.93 unweighted, 4.63 weighted

:remmysmug:

[klange]

4.0896 GPA last year. I don't know how much of it is affected by the summer class I took.
4.15 overall, 4.5 last year :3

[Kalub]

Fuck you guys.


Graduated with a 2.9

[kid908]

4.15 overall, 4.5 last year :3

:neckbeard:Nice. I screwed up my Spanish I class so yeah, it sucks, but last I check I was placed 11th in my class. Fucking bitches betta get out of the way.

[PopeAK49]

^This to Kalub. You guys have over rated GPA's, lol.

[Neuro Guro]

[kid908]

I actually got by with a 2.56 or something like that. Doesn't matter where I'm going. You could get in this place with a 2.0 if you still had a sweet portfolio.

The thing that mainly got mine down was that I was originally planning on going to University of Cincinnati, which had a lot of shitty elitist material to get into the ART PROGRAM! They didn't even want to see a portfolio there, you needed at least a 3.0, and needed a foreign language.

Before I knew that however, I had already signed up for a full schedule of advanced courses. Courses I didn't even need, and couldn't even change. Spanish really killed my grade, scraped with a D, but I failed it the first time. Having Calc + Advanced English when I didn't need it was a lot of extra work too, but I learned a lot.

But now I'm just glad I'm already going to a better school instead of UC, it's partly paid off, and I feel like I got a lot out of that last year in high school.

Not if you're trying to get into a very competitive medical school down the road.
1. MCAT
2. Field Experience (i.e. community service/medical student job)
3. GPA and grades
4. Recommendations

[Timo]

Damn you guys get to do some intense final year courses at high school. I only had Physics, Chem, Economics, English and Calculus that were reasonable options :|

[Syuusuke]

Lol same here timo, minus chem + u.s. government

College baby!

[cheezdue]

Senior year at high school(it feels as if I already left freshman year :|)

AP Economic
AP Government
AP English 4 ._.
AP Art History
AP European history
Calculus(bleh)

Oh God help me with these ap classes. T^T

[Varmint260]

It goes to show how much more specialized high schools become when they have more than 200 students. In mine, it was basic shit like Biology, Math, English and History. No Criminology, US Government, Law and Justice, Economic studies. I feel so un-cultured and un-educated!

But your Jack O'Neill avatar say you're very edrumacated.

[Mr Buckshot]

graduated with somewhere between 3.7 and 3.8, IB diploma = 39 points. Some bastard at school got 44 points

My schedule for uni is a bunch of physics (calculus based), chemistry, linear algebra (used AP/IB to skip calculus), english (AP score not good enough :(), and computer science. Doing computer engineering.

I heard that Victoria offers some online AP program (from SIDES, actual service is through Apex Learning) for the whole of BC. You just sit in front of your computer watching animated lectures, your tests and exams are mailed to you periodically and you mail them back, and hopefully you took it seriously if you're taking the AP exam. I didn't go through this online AP program, but some of my friends in mainland BC did.

[Ifafudafi]

We teachers have started moving into our new classrooms. As opposed to last year, where I had to share a room, I now get my own classroom all to myself to teach exclusively 8th grade English (both regular and "enhanced," a sort of Pre-Pre-AP.)

Next three weeks will consist of me working out a lesson plan for the year, attending several clinics, taking all the district/state tests the kids will take, and finishing up decorating the classrom. Then the fun begins.

[Heathen]

English IV
Computer Science III
Environmental Science
PE III
Electronics II
Electronics II
Electronics II


Thats right, do to my odd situation (skipped junior year, and am going to trade school)
I have one class for 3 hours.

[Daishi]

Damn heathen, quite the electronics person, eh?

I'm apparently much less intelligent than you guys...I get to retake the former quarter of Algebra II. My senior year is just gonna be all the standard stuff, US Gov't, Economics, English IV, then as far as other classes go; Aquatic Sciences, AP Biology, and some intermediate math class between algebra and calculus.

[Corndogman]

Only taking 3 high school classes:

Algebra 2
English 4
American gov./economics

Thats right bitches.

oh yeah, but I'm doing dual-enrollment this year, and taking a 3D Animation program at a technical institute(not game related). That makes up for my other 4 classes. should be awesome.

E: This is my senior year btw. also, i have to take a semester of Spanish 2 online, i failed it 2 years ago with 59% :(.

[flibitijibibo]

College, bitches.

Music Theory 1+2
Sightsinging 1+2
Music Colloquium
Ensemble
Private Instruction
Freshman English 1+2
Discrete Mathematics 1+2
Bullshit history course, I dunno which one yet

Should be a breeze, assuming I don't suck too much ass at my jury. (I suck right now)

[rossmum]

first aid, navigation, blowing shit up B)

on a more serious note i might go back to uni and do nuclear med again, except part-time so i don't sperg out

[Rook]

oh hey did I graduate high school guess so

[Atty]

I'm taking:

Humanities
Literature
Human Sexuality
Whatever math class I need

College is fun.

[paladin]

I'm starting my first year at Columbus College of Art and Design.

First year is all "Foundation Studies", 2D + 3D design, drawing, painting, ceramics. Stuff like that.

I'm going to major in Media Studies and get into 3d animation / cinematography. Pixar sort of stuff sounds fun to me. Illustration is what I'm thinking for my minor. I'd like to make some comics one day, and it would be a good thing to fall back on.

Our schools sound alike. Im going to DigiPen Institute of Technology. MY degree will be in Production Animation.

Fall Semester Classes:

Art 101
Art115
Film 115
Animation 117
Biology 115
English Composition through Story Boards 119

[Limited]

Not sure, I take it as it comes, apparently theres a big section of game design and we have to do a crazy big project. Still got a month left though so still lazying around/relaxing.

This is my last year in University, so really going to work hard, although I did say that last year..>_>

[Sel]

Just around the corner for you fucks who havent finished it yet!!!

Web Programming (very basic - covered HTML, CSS and some Javascript)

Meanwhile, I was a staff member of my school's lan-party-set-up-club, sadly in decline, and for the first few weeks I was a member of my school's castrated FIRST robotics team. I also helped a few other clubs with some other stuff.

[Daishi]

You guys make me feel fucking stupid. >.>

>>Penguin: All you need to know with core classes is bullshit anyway, so that's just redundant. :P

[RedBaron]

I hate my school. I have a 5.471 weighted GPA and I'm still probably only ranked in the top 20%-30% of my class. They're all fucking over achievers. All of them.

[Newbkilla]

Lmao, I'm going into highschool, and they have no 3d design classes, only engineering (inventor) and some other class, using autocad. Damnit, you guys are lucky.

E/ I have 3.56 gpa at the moment, fucking typing class. Should have a 3.74, due to another class done in middle school, but the asians wanted it not to count because of honors classes they weren't going to be even taking yet.

[flibitijibibo]

I was in a school like yours, Delta. That's why I put my effort towards things that A: are not bound to the school (like my portfolio/getting laid) and B: aren't textbook humping.

[RedBaron]

Yeah, I figured that really, this shit doesn't even matter. All those Elitelists have in their little heads is to make a huge fucking fortune when they're adults, and that's probably all that drives them. We live in a society (US) that beckons for people at a young age to over achieve, to become winners, to reach out and volunteer for the community in a selfless manner. And in the end, it's all for the selfish reason of getting fucking rich individually. That's capitalism.

Me, sure my GPA may be higher than some other's, but all I really care about is having decent enough credentials to get into a half-ass college. Even if I got into Ivy League, who the fuck is going to pay for it? I just want to get school done with and get a half-ass job from which I can pay a half-ass house from. As long as I keep doing shit that makes me happy on the side, this shit doesn't really matter.

[PlasbianX]

Start college this month. Majoring in Computer Art and Graphics Programming. Schedule aint too hard. 2D Design and Drawing class first semester. Rest are core classes and a class for all freshmen to get them used to college. Oh, and a public speaking class. Next semester 2D Design becomes 3D design which will be cool. Summer seemed to go by way to fast.

[Cojafoji]

not taking anything. still paying off college tuition for the last year and a half. probably dropping my degree and grabbing my certs, just for the hell of it though.

[Xetsuei]

I still have another 33 days of summer, so it is not around the corner for me. :neckbeard:

/brag

But besides that, I haven't gotten a list of my classes yet. That will happen on August 26th.

[Syuusuke]

The only notable thing in my schedule is jazz improv, everything else sucks...

Comp sci, linguistic stuff, some calc that i should've done in high school, and some other odd classes...

[Higuy]

First year of High school
oh no!
:haw:
and I haven't got a list yet either, I have about 25 more days of summer, so about another month I will be going.

[Warsaw]

Woo school! that means burlington, woo! which also means shit tons of booze...WOO!!

[LesserOf2Evils]

Wow I feel old.

Transferring into Tech as a junior. Move in this weekend.

[Needles]

Another year with more douchebags -_-.

I'm just taking some Gym, ROTC, and geometry and pre-med classes.

[PopeAK49]

Who's screwing with you? Do I have to come down there and kick there asses? :realsmug:

[neuro]

school is for scrubs, work like a man! :smug:

[Dotkito92]

No school for me, just the USMC.
