Does Honors Bio or Honors Spanish 4 look better to colleges?

Honors Bio is extremely hard and with two other college level courses on your plate, it would not seem like your taking the easy way out if you opt for Honors Spanish 4.\n\nHope that helps and good luck on your classes.

I went through the GATE program ( and yes that is what it stands for) and found it to be more hands on then the honors program. In GATE you learn by doing more than book reading. I think they choose students for each program by how they learn and their learning ability. My sister was part of the honors program and found it to be just as intense in learning as the program I went through but more through a classroom structure than a lab like structure. They are the same in degree of intelligence needed to get into the program. \n\nHope that helps.

what college has the better science /math department!?\nalways look at the strenth of a colleges individual math and science departments. This can help you determine if the college is able to provide you with what you need academically.

Sat II Bio much? hehe\n\nI'd go for B. Bacterial metabolism can get very complex, while their genetical structure is very siple.

Well, this year in 10th grade I took AP Biology and AP European History. They are a handful, but it is worth the challenge. Your grades won't be as good as they were in middle school, but it is defintely worth your while. Taking harder, more challenging classes is better than getting the 4.0 GPA. Trust me, colleges are looking to see if you attempted the hard classes rather than all CP. Good luck, and don't get too stressed out like I am right now! Exams are in a month!!!

No - you will be fine.  \n\nThey look at your progress over the entire 4 years, not just one grade given in your senior year.  A 3.7 is fantastic, they won't care.\n\nI had a 2.7 and I still got into college and did very well.  I graduated with a 3.5!

you have to take writing SATII or you did before they made the new SAT I. but honestly people change their majors so much that the subjects of your SATII's don't matter that much. if you insist i would take biology or chemistry both were easy. it would be better for you to do well on the APs though because that can count for credit.

I concur with Teebs. Grossmont is the better school. The curriculumn ther has been masterfully designed totransfer credit to a UC or CSU school very easily. A lot of SDSU and UCSD students go to Grossmount to take classes that would usually be impacted and more costly to attend in the respective universities. \n\nI went there many moons ago while attending SDSU at the same time. Grossmount was sometimes called little SDSU.

I don't think that one is inherently better than the other. It used to be that universities were large, had many graduate programs, and focused on research. Colleges were smaller, focused on liberal arts degrees, and catered to undergraduates. But, lots of colleges thought that "university" in the name sounded better, and in the 70s and 80s lots of colleges changed their name to universities, even though they aren't really large research institutions.\n\nI will say that most colleges now are primarily undergraduate oriented, are smaller, and focus on residential undergraduate programs. Universities vary quite a bit, from the huge state university to smaller universities that are really more like undergraduate institutions that have added a few graduate programs.\n\nSo, choose a college or university based on the particulars of specific schools and how it fits with your personality, your occupational goals, and the size of school you'd like to be at. Whether its a college or university doesn't really matter.

to be in honors classes u have to make sure you study HARD. your expected to do ur work all of the time and have good grades.  To get into honors classes then you have to make sure you get high grades and participate a lot in class to show u are interested in the subject and actually want to learn more about it.

AP chem is just a level ahead of what you have taken.  It's not too difficult if you have strong chemistry background.  Considering the fact that you have already taken Honors Chem, you should not find a  introductory general chem book difficult at all.  When i took the AP chem we used the book titled Chemistry  and Chemical Reactivity by Kotz (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0030237963/).  There is another book used for inductory general chemistry classes at my university is Chemistry by MCMurry and Fay (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0131402080/).  Both books are good and should give you a very good understanding of general chemistry.  Good luck!

Depends on your major but I will go with CU because I am applying to their masters program. However I have only lived in Colorado a few months so I don't really know much about them.

well you see miss. i've been in a private school all me life and been using this curriculum all my life. I have made an 4.0 on my report card for as long as i can remember and i've never made anything except an A on my report card. Abeka books are definately more challenging. I think that if you want your kids to be challenged and smarter then definately go with abeka curriculum. ( btw my bff makes the same grades i do )

UCDavis, for sure. The problem with Cal Poly is that it's mainly a prestige school, much like UCBeezerkly (misspelling intentional). If you aren't into brown nosing and kissing butt, or have some notoriety, getting into CPoly can be difficult. Davis, on the other hand has a nice atmosphere, close to a lot of things, and the girls...

AP covers mostly High school biology and a little but not all first year College biology.\n\nCollege bio goes in a little more depth in the first year then the last year of AP does.

College admissions are by no means an exact science.  Your immigrant status may help you...  But NYU would be easier to get into.  Columbia, as an ivy league school, would be a struggle for anyone.\n\nThere are many people with 4.0 averages and SATs in the 1500s, or even perfect 1600s, who are rejected every year from ivy league schools.  There is no perfect formula.
