AP classes and scores/chances for competitive schools such as MIT Georgia Tech and Purdue west lafayette?
I took 3 AP classes junior year (US history, physics B and calculus AB) and am taking 4 AP classes senior year (literature, physcis C, multivariable calc and micro or macro). I wanted to take other AP’s but my schedule didn’t allow so I self-taught myself AP computer science A, biology, chemistry and will self-tech macro or micro. What do you think of this? Do colleges care is I self-tech myself some AP’s and still get 4 or 5 as a score on the AP test? What do you think of this AP combination overall? Read more [...]
What should I major in?
I’m confused..I need to really think about this so I can focus on what colleges to visit and then apply to. I write well and I do enjoy it, but it depends on the topic. (If it’s about history, for ex., then no). I was thinking computer science though because it’s something that does interest me. However, I don;t think I’d enjoy writing programs all day. So I wanted to see if there was anything that combines the two (english and comp. sci.) I came across information sciences, but then read that it Read more [...]
Why do most college kids in the U.S. study silly majors and not practical ones?
Most college kids study rather stupid majors like psychology, history, sociology, communications, etc. Why don’t they major in fields like engineering, medicine, computer science, or physics? How are we to remain a technologically advanced society if we do not have our own homegrown talent in these fields? We have to import people from India to be our doctors and engineers! I myself am a civil engineering student and I see a lot of foreign students in the technical departments at my college while Read more [...]

Mom jumping to conclusions. What should I do?
Before I continue, it has nothing to do with something she’s going through, because she’s perfectly happy with her life. She’s just a bit… surly (for lack of a better word). I’m twelve years old. I was working on a science project and doing some research for my conclusion. My computer had started running slow, and when it starts doing that, it usually means my browsing history has become somewhat full/cluttered (same thing for temporary internet files), so I have to delete the history and temporary Read more [...]
