Poll
Do college grades even matter?
Yes | 69% | 69% - 58 | ||||
No | 30% | 30% - 25 | ||||
Total: 83 |
It really is a joke though. I rarely did more than 1.5 hours of work a night (usually it was maybe 45 minutes) during junior year and got 4 As and two Bs.nukchebi0 wrote:

I didn't study except run through flash cards twice for the APUSH exam and got a 4. I didn't study at all for the AP English Lit exam and got a 4. I didn't study at all for my Spanish SATII or US History SAT II and got a 760 and 780, respectively.
edit: Blademaster's advice is off though. You should do well in high school to get into a good college. Or, if you don't initially get into a good college, to boost your chances of being able to transfer to one. Unless you prefer to go the route of trade school, which even then I'm pretty sure requires decent grades to show you're not a lazy bastage.

I did like 15-30 minutes of work 3 times a week and I got the same. I was going to do APUSH as well but with flight school I probably couldn't have managed it. I'd rather do well in a normal class (as I did, 98 on my US History Regents) than do so-so in an AP class.Hurricane2k9 wrote:

My class didn't even follow the AP curriculum (it's not marked as AP on our transcripts) and it was still enough to prep me for the AP exam. Same with our school's English Lit course.

Yeah, a lot of the AP kids told me that the test was ridiculously easy.Hurricane2k9 wrote:

I'm doing AP US Politics + Gov next year though. Our summer reading is only 6 federalist papers. Really not that bad.
I'm still deciding on whether to go into Flight or Poli Sci ---> Law, so all of this could mean jack shit eventually (if I go into flight).

lulz, the most bullshit sounding PhD ever if you ask me; but what do i know, i'm just an engineer

Lol, you claim high school is joke while also stating that you didn't take a difficult class because you didn't want to get a C. If high school was really as easy as you want to claim it is, you would have been able to take APUSH without problems. Nice attempt at sounding cool, but you ultimately fail.Poseidon wrote:

Hurricane, have you gotten your AP scores yet?

i'm probably going right into the military after college with the way things are shaping up
right now my top colleges are probably: Pace (my girlfriend's friend can get an apartment and all 3 of us would live there and split the rent) in NYC, AU in DC (longshot but hey, who knows what could happen) and ERAU in Daytona as you know.
I really don't even fucking know tbh, I'll see how things go when I really start flying intensively in the next few weeks. I kinda lost interest at points throughout the year, but probably because 95% of what we did was textbook work.

fuckin' hell.
how's Pace? I really haven't been able to get that much info on it but it seems okay. i don't really think they have a strong Poli Sci program..
I love the 'lol k' response. Grow the fuck up and stop trying to be cool. It just makes you look like an immature kid who is desperate for attention.

Lel, your maturity shines as always, Alex. Grow up.
@Nuk, those were the only APs I took. This year my only AP course was Environmental Science and the class didn't require you to take the AP. I probably could've done the Spanish AP. Eh. Underachievement... but I can't change the past.

Oh, so you took no AP tests this year? How was APES, too? I've heard its really boring.
At first it's boring, but it picks up. A lot of it depends on the labs you do... if you have fun labs it's a fun class. Our teacher was also pretty cool.nukchebi0 wrote:

i hated AP spanish, avoid, AVOID
also, the native speakers tend to have slight issues with that class becuase they tend to use their native slang, which the AP board frowns upon
