im going into high school next year and im wondering what tips you would give me about classes. i'm trying to get into any honors classes i can but im only good at math. so im taking integrated 2 and honors english. i can't get into science or history. please help me to tell me what i should do to get into a college i want when i'm older.
 
grade 9 and 10 are pretty much pointless, just keep up with your classes but dont take it seriously until grade 11 up
 
no, senior year is a joke. You need to do good junior year. junior year is the last year before colleges. the most part of senior year, you will know where you'r going.

9th grade sucks, everyone hates you. it gets better though.
 
Something involving math or skiing. skiing community is hard to get enough money in though. but i was thinking like graphic design, web design, working like in a ski factory. also woodworking, or some type of building design sort of thing. not exactly houses but custom stuff.
 
Yup, senior year doesn't matter at all. Its all about easy classes and having fun.

Take a bunch of honors/ap classes if you can, its good for college and I found they were more fun than the regular classes cause everybody in them isn't a huge dumbass.
 
I took AP classes and it was bullshit they just rush you thru the regular curriculum so you work way harder then you learn extra shit that you don't need so you can take a test at the end thats freakishly hard and doesn't really matter. You're better off dominateing a regular class then getting average marks in AP as far as college acceptance goes but that was just my experience
 
for starters, take 9th grade off from all real work. Slide by with high 80's and feel out the surroundings.

Step it up in 10th so you have a 90 something average and then 11th go for broke and study like a mofo.

Follow this plan and you can be like me cruising through senior year with 90 just waiting to go off to a college i was accepted to back id december
 
im a freshman right now and i dont know about your school but all of my classes were basically picked for me except for electives
 
no elementary school was id remember/ middle school was uber flaming gay/ and high schools just easy............................................and gay
 
Hence why they are called electives haha
And to everybody who says high school is gay, kind of. Once you graduate and look back it, you'll realize just how much fun and freedom you had despite a lot of lame teachers and rules. Basically no responsibilites besides chillin' with your friends and smokin' that sticky icky icky.
 
fresman year is honestly probably the least important of the 3 years that colleges see. if you at least show improvement every year then colleges would like that a lot. ive made the mistake of trying very hard freshman year and every year i just got lazier and lazier, so my grades every year have been declining. just as long as if you dont start slacking like me, youll be fine
 
My 9th grade year wasn't that bad, just ended up smoking more weed with my buddies than I should've.

And get into a sport or something, you'll meet some upperclassmen through that, be chill and they'll let you tag along to parties and what not.
 
See, I've always heard the opposite of this. Supposedly, if you take hard (AP, honors, whatever) classes and get average grades in them, it's better than dominating easy classes.

But in all honesty, I don't think anyone really knows what colleges want. I know I don't, I got into 3 out of 8 I applied to, even after dominating APs and everything else. So my advice would be take what you like, but don't hesitate to challenge yourself.
 
try to find classes that really start to interest you, rather than just taking the "core" classes and all that shit, unless that is of interest. Some you will have to take in the end for requirements, but with a little effort, especially in the last half of high school, your curriculum can be tailored to your needs/wants more than most think. See if your district has intradistrict programs and offerings at local colleges. It could really expand what you can take, and if you can take college classes in highschool, they're generally easier than that AP bullshit and you can start accumulating a ton of credit before you even step into a university out of high school (if you go to college afterwards that is).

I did pretty much all of that, came into university with only about 50 credits, but that alone meant I didn't have to take bogus classes freshmen year, instead I took what I wanted, essentially never went to high school campus, and got to ski a shit ton.
 
if you want to get accepted into college, do sports and clubs and community service. colleges love stuff like that. also job experience. it rounds out your resume, and makes it seeem like you're responsible.
 
Take all the honors you can get, other than that dont worry about it until junior forecasting.

Oh and take some shop classes, they are always useful
