Should I even consider applying to boarding school?
Hi, I am a 15-year-old who is interested in applying to Choate Rosemary Hall this year. I have been waiting for this moment for the last year, and now I am just made of anxiety. I have no concerns regarding the required testing or application process. I think I can achieve results in the 85TH+ percentile. I can get the necessary recommendation letters, and have no problem writing an essay. I have been dancing for about eight months, and have completed recreational courses through Coursera. I am soon going to start volunteering at a local farm. I am pretty much a typical mediocre applicant, however that will change when you see my school record. I have a history of truancy, mediocre grades, and two suspension’s. I can definitely raise up my grades, and attend school on time for the next few months. However, I am not sure if that would make a difference considering this change in behavior is so close to the application date. I have seen other students statistics, and I am a bit scared and question if it’s even worth applying. I feel like nothing I do will be enough. The only decently interesting thing about me is my truancy problem.
What dual enrollment classes should I take if I’m wanting to be a cardiologist?
I am a sophomore and this past summer I took general psychology and rn I’m taking art appreciation. I’m in advanced classes rn but next school year they’ll switch to AP classes. My biggest goal is to graduate with an associates degree before graduating high school. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to but as long as I can get as much as the classes I need in high school, that’ll be great. Thanks!
Hi, I'm about to be a sophomore. And I wanted to do dual enrollment. I'm striving to be a nurse in the future. And I know if I take classes for dual enrollment, those credits can be transferred to college. If I'm striving to be a nurse what classes should I take, do I just take any like psychology and if I do, does that mean I won't have to take that class in college and also, they asked for what intended major or program of study I want to take, I'm curious what I should do for that. Thanks!

How often should I reach out to my Academic Advisor ?
I think it is a great idea for me to establish great communication with my Academic Advisor so I can keep on taking the necessary course for my degree. Not only that but I have been given great personal and professional advice and resources. I don't want to overstep my boundaries by asking a ton of questions all the time, but I would like to utilize as many resources, advice, and opportunities as my advisor can provide me.

Should I take Honors Organic Chemistry and AP Chemistry together?
I will be going into 11th grade next year, and I'm interested in going into Pre-Med. Here is my schedule for next year: Hon. Pre-Calc w/ Trig AP US History AP English 3 Hon. French IV AP Chemistry String Orchestra (Gym) I have space for 1 elective, so I was wondering if it would be better to take Organic Chemistry next year or senior year... if not, I can take Hon. Anatomy and Physiology instead. Based on how much coursework / content there will be, do you have any advice or recommendations? I am planning on doing AP Chem + Org. Chem together and AP Biology + Anatomy/Physiology together. Any thoughts? Thank you! #high-school-student #chemistry #AP #Honors #organic-chemistry #courses #sophomore
Can a student recover from failing a college class?
How many classes can a student fail before they are not able to succeed? Can a student recover from a few failed classes after retaking them and getting a better grade? What happens when you take a class that cannot be retaken because it is above 3000, but you need it to succeed? Can I still make a 3.5-4.0 GPA with failed classes that have been retaken? These are the questions I have as a student who went through failing a couple of classes because of being stressed my first semester and now trying to make up for it. I have never failed classes before until University and have been an almost straight A student all through HS and community college. Now I'm struggling. I need reassurance of whether I can make it through college and make the good grades and high GPA I want, but with full honesty. #college #grades #gpa #classes #failure #help #mental-health #recover #recovery #student #student-development #freshmen #sophomore #class #stress #stress-management #university
How do you balance college, work (full or part-time) and still be able to hangout with friends/family?
I am a sophomore in college, and I am struggling with balancing these three things. College and work seem to consume my whole day, every day. #College #sophomore #marine-biology #struggle #part-time-job #NoSocialLife #work-life-balance
Can you take an AP exam without taking the class?
I honestly am not interested in AP I am more interested in IB however I do want to utilize the time that I can to accumulate as much college credit as possible. So while I am in sophomore year, still in pre-IB is it possible, with study, to take an AP exam and maybe score high enough to get credit for it? #high-school-classes #ap #high-school-students #sophomore #advance-placement
Am I better off declaring a major as soon as I enter college or waiting until the end of sophomore year?
