Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
Actually, yes, SIU. lol I got a few friends going into law, a few going into business, a few in computer science, and a couple in advertisment.
The law and busines student's I've talked to love it. A couple of my computer science friends are on a government contract right now. They are considered government employees, get employee benefits, get free equipment to use for academics and research. One of them is working on a military contract for UAV's. They even have their own security clearances. As far as advertisement goes, my friends in advertisement seem to really like it. Plus, I know for sure that the radio/television department here, especially one of the shows I do, alt.news 26:46, are excellent for advertising.
If you're interested, just let me know!
Actually, that'd be awesome! I'm really trying to find the best thing for me and there's a lot to go through. But any info you could give me would help, A LOT!

I'm sending you a PM now with my contact info. Feel free to contact me and I'll get you everything you need/want!
I'm thinking Yale Law, Columbia University, Fordham University, Notre Dame, Boston College, Dartmouth College, Cambridge University (U.K.), University of Richmond, University of Michigan, Georgetown University, Brown University, and Cornell.
There's a lot more, but those are my top picks.
Do the APs you take affect what colleges think of you? For example, if I took 2 AP history classes last year and took AP American Gov this year, while I took a honors science each of the three years and took AP Chem this year... if I wanted to go into science, would it be bad that I haven't taken as much science as history? Well, maybe not bad, but would my application be for the worse if I've taken more classes in the subject other than the one I'm interested in?
"If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?"
I don't think it does. I took three science courses, but three history AP's and two history joint enrollment classes, but here I am at an engineering school. They know that sometimes colleges don't offer AP classes at certain grade levels and sometimes AP's don't work into the schedule like you think they would. My school offered AP starting freshman year, but you could only take AP sciences in junior year, and even then it wasn't easy to get into. Also they look at the fact that you took AP's period and that you stepped up to the challenge of that.

Ok i have a question Is there any chance of me getting to Harvard, Princeton or MIT if i took like all regualar classes( but had all As) my freshman year but two AP honors and advanced math with hundreds of hours of community services and a lot of extre-curricular activities my sophmore year with a plan of 10 to 11 AP classes throughout high school. Will that look good if i pass them all with 5s and keep up or will my freshman year ruin everything?
Umm, I'd say you'd have a very good chance if you managed that. I got into MIT with 5 AP's, a few joint enrollment courses, and a few extra-curriculars - no 5's in ap's. The important thing about getting into colleges like that is your application and interview. Make sure you show them you're interested in benefiting the school you go to, show them that you're unique, and assure them that you'll work hard.

Well what about Princeton or Harvard i mean they do require a bit more they definetly look for 5s do you know anybody who can give me advise please and what is a good amount of community service i mean like i done 130 for now i plan on 500 or more and i am enrolled in a lot different organizations too. Will that look good , too?
I won't lie. It's much easier to transfer into Harvard, rather then get in for your first year. I say you stand a shot, but so do thousands of other kids. The only people who really know are those at Harvard or Princeton. Apply to those schools, do some research and find some less prestigious schools that also look good to you, that you're fairly confident about, then find some that you might not WANT to go to, but you're positive you will be accepted. This way, if you don't get accepted for your freshmen year, chances are you will still go to a school you like. Then, depending on your goals, you can transfer the next year...which is MUCH easier. Or, better yet, you can go to an ivy league for graduate school which is most important anyway if you're planning to get a Masters. A friend of mine went to Oklahoma State and is now a 3L at Harvard. Where you go for undergrad is important but not NEARLY as important as where you go for graduate school. Just pace yourself. There are MANY good schools out there, not necessarily Ivy's but still great. I love my school and its very academically stimulating and connected with a lot of Harvard activities and BU stuff as well as Emmerson activities. Also, think about the fact that most Ivy's don't offer scholarships based on merit. Only financial need and even then, they have VERY FEW. Harvard is around 52,000 a year. Now that might not even be an issue for you but, just keep it in mind. Mainly, don't stress out. You'll get into a good school, you'll be fine. Something good usually comes from everything. You might not LOVE your first year but transferring is NOT the end of the world.
Mainly, just breathe!
