    Senior Class Schedule

    AP chemistry trumps honors physics. If it's between one or the other, choose chemistry without a doubt. If you can do both, even better.

    Navy paintball team

    They apparently have a paintball club, but that may not be exactly what you're looking for.

    College applicant help!

    Reapplying from college does help, assuming you do well academically. High school grades, SATs, ACTs etc don't really factor in as much when you reapply. Those are just indicators of college performance. If you don't perform when you actually get to college, then it won't exactly play to your...

    No matter what your major, be prepared to take math (usually through differential equations, but can depend on your major), two semesters of chemistry and physics, and engineering courses. You're also required to take some history and literature courses, as well as your military training...

    Who has applied?

    Forgive me, I was only trying to help her as a lowly student that has experienced the college application process firsthand. I didn't mean to invoke your wrath and force you to impart your limitless wisdom, saving her from making the mistakes that got me and my sister high scores and my peers...

    Who has applied?

    Start by taking hard courses and receiving good grades. Try to take an SAT prep course. My advice is to take the May SAT. I know a lot of smart kids that took the SAT in winter thinking they were going to get a leg up on everyone and do really well, but you're competing against seniors who have...
