High School Regrets

1. Do summer school classes Although I did summer school geometry before entering 9th grade, I didn't skip biology. Because I am going to major in a science, I think skipping biology would have allowed me to take AP biology or AP chemistry in 10th grade instead of taking AP chemistry in 11th grade. Taking an AP science class in 10th grade would have helped me be more prepared for science competitions, especially the USNCO. Studying for the USNCO while learning AP chemistry is harder. Also, taking an AP science class would have demonstrated more preparedness for summer camp applications because I would have taken the AP exam and SAT subject test. Although I would have suffered 8 hours of summer school per day for 6 weeks, it would have been worth it in the long run. Summary: If you want to major in a science and want to take honors/AP science earlier, skipping biology/chemistry/physics would be a good idea. 2. Take every assignment seriously This is more of a junior year regret....
