focus on those you're really good at and are important,e.g., calc, eng <it's really depend on which school you're going to but normally big school wont accept AP credit for lit>
I had 14 units prior to my entrance to my college but i had total of 7 APs in my junior and senior year.I chose not to take 2 APs exam but took the classes as guideline.You might have to retake...

i think auratus must be a journalist or smt. I felt like reading a fiction written by a professional writer than an amateur. Good advertisement!
6 APs classes. No offense, but i think you must have been out of your mind. 5 was too much to handle, if not 6. My tip is dropping <probably too late now> but instead of trying to do well on every single class, just focus on thos...

School is stupid. It's killing me. I GOT A WHITE HAIR. A WHITE HAIR. AND I'M ONLY 16!!!! ;___;. errr...well, I just kinda got carried away...but I don't regret it! HoM was unbelievably good. After reading it I seriously got much better at writing and thought a lot more about how I should improve. LOL. But yeah, desperate me makes a pretty awkward/funny thing. APs? 6. Tips for surviving?

school goes first my drear friend, i was actually more impressive w/ you super long advertisement for Hit or miss than any piece of writing that you had shown. You sound desperate but somehow i ended up laughing at the end. Sorry thou, it's just your writing makes me laugh sometimes.
Oh,like i said, try hard this year and you can relax the year after. Btw, how many APs are you taking?

>.> My finals are after winter break, which is basically the week after New Year's...
I was planning on getting in an update not this saturday but the next, but now I'm on hiatus from IAGTIS for mental sanity and whatnot haha
I do think I'll be in contact with a few people though for some previews of the updates, since I'll end up working on them somehow

Btw, come to UCLA and we might meet up someday. There're lots of Korean here and i even know a guy who knows Tiffany in person and another who is KARA Nicole's cousin. If you are lucky, you might even see your fav idol in real life w/o watching them perform live keke

And if you think grammar isnt important, you're deadly wrong. The biggest difference between college & high school is in college, grammar is the most important writing skill while in high school, it's the least important one. Trust me, i've suffered so many times because of that. You should get yourself a good editor soon unless you want to major in math & physics which i doubt LOL

If im not wrong, my friend majors in biochemistry. You got 760, and mine was 780 so it's just 20 pts difference, and that was my second test, the first time i only got 730. I dont dream of Caltech my dear, UCLA fits me better. I dont want to sit on the chair 23/24 and not having chance to enjoy my life.

Hahaha, the B+/A- range is the one I hate the most because it makes you nervous and you can't slip up if you want to keep an A-. I know... it's so weird that the best writers are a little lacking in math skills. Bah. WEll, us Asians were meant to do math-y stuff, not literature (unless we're old and become those uber cool philosophers) so it doesn't matter if we need editors to be good, right?

LOL. Danngggg 780! I bow down to your smarts! :D you should've tutored me last year, hahah. Well, I'm not sure about the just SATs anymore cuz UCLA also visited my school and said that ACTs were acceptable, and since UCLA and the rest of the UCs share the same application...? I'm not really worried about the Math portion of the SAT, more like the grammar parts. Grammar=worst enemy

LOL. I guessed because "tung" and "nam" are very Vietnamese-y sounding, and I also guessed Chinese because "Tung" and "tan" are Chinese words. >.> But I need an 800. Caltech visited my school and the rep from their said that the subject test scores are normally 800s. Ooooh. But what programs did he apply for in the Ivy schools?

I only got a B or A- when I had no one proofread my paper, then i asked my close friend to proofread for me < shes really good at writing but her math is....eh> my grade was up by....6 pts. I never felt that much confident in my life. She told me "you can write, you just need an editor, man." LOL, thats why i always sympathize for my fellow Asians who struggle getting their paper done.

Oh, my cousin just told me that UCs only accept SATs. Hm, i dont think it's that hard beside the fact that you have point off for wrong answers. I think its fair enough. In math and science, there is no space for any mistake, even a tiny little bit one. If you can get 760 and currently in AP, AND you're native speaker. You're gonna finish the test in a tik tok :P

Im vietnamese, and i wonder how you figure it out that im either chinese or viet? Btw, 760 in subject test, and on physics. I would be dumb if i dont accept you. I know a guy who got 740 in physics subject test and he got accepted in 6/7 ivy schools :D Asian-asian. I only got 780 in physics subject test and that was nerve breaking...

>:O that's not fair to you! American schools are pricey! *sigh* my fellow asian, I reach out to you T^T (btw, from your username are you Viet or Chinese? just wondering lol). It's not the matter of applying though, lol, more like getting ACCEPTED. There's no way I'd let my efforts get wasted if I managed to get in haha. Yep. Typical asian math 'n science nerd. I speak the language of numbers
