    Illinois Boy's State

    This forum has been my 'guidance counselor' for the past 6 months. I have learned a ton about all the academies and ROTC here. Neither of my parents were in the military. They know nothing of the process and they don't plan on learning it. They have said that if this really is my dream, I have...

    Illinois Boy's State

    AP class or STEM class?

    Hey everyone, I am currently a sophomore in high school and I am choosing my classes for my junior year. My high school offers many different ap classes but it also offers a STEM course. I was wondering should I take an extra ap course or the STEM course? Also, how important are ap exam scores...
