Common App additional question: Do you wish to provide details of circumstances or qualifications not reflected in the application? I love History and English and have taken all honors and AP classes in these disciplines. I am a hard worker and enjoy learning. I would describe myself as a well-rounded student who has balanced high school between academics, family, work, sports, and outside activities. I did not take easy classes…
I had to skip a quarter of college. A couple months…
I could honestly go on and on about each class and what it has taught me,…
The class gave me a perspective on how an AP class works. It is almost the same as Pre-AP, but AP consists of more work. Spanish IV AP prepared me on my writing skills and the language. My junior year I took U.S. History and English III AP, Pre-Cal Pre- AP and Physics Pre-AP. With two AP classes,…
On the first day of school, I remember walking into class and seeing all of the new people in my class. I also remember meeting all of my new teachers. I had no idea how much that I would learn, and I had no idea how much I would struggle to learn the new material. One particular class that I feel that I have learned a lot in is WHAP. WHAP stands for world history AP.…
I decided to enroll in AP Government and Economics it is the class that has the most utility for me. Starting towards the middle of freshman year in Honors Global History, I thought going into a higher history class was a good idea, so I decided to enroll in AP US History, which was one of the better decisions in my life. That class was a good experience so I wanted to take AP again in junior year. There are multiple benefits that drove me to make this decision; the first is content. In every single class in school (maybe except for math), I want to learn the most about that subject so AP would provide the huge benefit of having the most content so I would learn the most about the government and macroeconomics.…
My first elective was human-animal bond, enabling me to pursue an area that I am very passionate about; working with animals in a therapeutic atmosphere. The next elective I chose to take is social work in the law. This class instructs students in proper…
I request to take AP Chemistry because I want to major in Biomedical Engineering. By taking AP Chemistry, I will be a step closer for preparation of my future profession. This year as a sophomore I am taking AP Biology, AP Psychology, Honors Pre-Calculus, Physics 1, and Chemistry 1 simultaneously without any issues or problems. I also have taken AP United States History as a freshman along with seven other courses.…
I am taking four AP courses this year, along with others to supplement my high school career. Recently, I have found AP Psychology extremely rewarding. AP Psychology astounds me and allows me to rediscover what being human means. With this course, I can go deeper into the human mind and the ways that our minds function. The biological, or innate, aspects of the human mind and body are incredible, but studying about the functions and ideas beyond that aspect allow me to gain an extensive understanding of people and myself.…
English Composition. has been a very helpful class and and will not only help me while I am still in high school, but as I move onto college. Although this class is nearly over, these writing skills will carry on with me throughout the rest of my…
Why am I not applying for law school? When I graduated high school and on up to my third semester of college, I was a Political Science major determined to go to law school. I even created a vision board with the list of school that I was going to apply to. Now, three years and three major changes later, I find myself applying for a Masters of Arts in English at Wayne State University. English began to alter my plans during my first major specific class.…
When I began studying at the University of Montevallo, I had a background of high school creative writing and English classes, and one summer of a college English class. To be honest, I was terrified of jumping into my fall English 102 class. I felt I was unprepared for a serious college level composition class, and that I would have a strenuous time adjusting to a four-year university. However, as I walk away from my English 102 class I carry the understanding of writing a college level essay, undertaking research and completing a research and argument paper properly, and knowledge to prepare me for my other classes and profession.…
As I enter my final semester at the University of Maryland, I realize I have put off English until I had no other choice but to take it. I was never the best writer. Others can write papers in a few hours and not have to plan a few days like I must. However, I came into this class with an open mind. While reviewing the syllabus, I believe I will do best on the discussion posts.…
I’ve always felt that school was a choice for me and that it would be the basis that started the rest of my life. My choices were either to push myself and achieve a successful education. Or to waste the last year of my highschool life and take easier classes to ease through the year. I instead chose to challenge myself and take higher level-educated classes. One class of my choice was the Honors English 4 course.…
I honestly have to say that this semester has been one of the tougher semesters I’ve experienced. A big part of that has to do with the courses I chose to take together. I do not feel as though my choices were very wise. This semester I had biology, math, writing, and a developmental reading class. Math and science have always been my weakest subjects, but why I chose to take those together baffles my mind.…
