Whether you love or hate math, this series of videos about calculus is amazing. Throughout most of our education, we are taught how math works and what to do, but never really why. These videos add depth to calculus and I feel so enlightened after watching them. I think getting an understanding of why something works is extremely important in order to understand what to do from there. I HIGHLY recommend this series!! If you don’t have time for it, just watch the first one :)
i really want to go to cornell but i'm worried. i've taken on a lot of stuff this year (tennis, spanish honor society, chemistry honor society, algebra tutoring, esl tutoring, chemistry tutoring (lot's of tutoring lol), band, possibly orchestra and possibly indoor track) honestly if you had my schedule it wouldn't seem as crazy but i'm concerned about my actual classes. i'm only taking 3 aps this year (english, us history, and physics) and i was supposed to take more (1/2)
(2/2) i was supposed to also take ap calc and because of schedule conflicts, i am taking prob stat instead. all of my friends are taking more ap’s and it’s discouraging. i want to go to cornell but there are people in those ap’s who are doing really well and have dismal hopes for college. i know i’m working hard but i’m just concerned it’s not enough. any tips? thanks, i love your blog!Thanks!! Don’t worry too much on the classes you aren’t taking, focus more on the classes you ARE taking. Of course schools like to see you’ve taken a lot of APs, but if you couldn’t help that you couldn’t take a certain class, then it shouldn’t affect you too much. Focus on your essays, grades, extracurriculars, test scores, and more that will help you get into your dream school. Good luck!
hello! I'm a junior in high school and I have great grades but i don't have that many extracurricular activities unfortunately :( do you know of anything I could do that would look better to colleges without seeming desperate or last minute?
Hi! It’s never too late to start getting involved. In fact, what I hear from most schools is that junior year is the year to get involved.Check out a few clubs and see what interests you. The most important thing is to do something you actually enjoy; the second most important is to remember is that quality is better than quantity. In my opinion, I don’t think colleges will look at your application and think “desperate”. However, if you go from 0 to 10 extracurriculars it won’t be as impressive as some people believe. It’s so much better to be heavily involved with a few things (that you enjoy) than to be in a ton of clubs and have your only contribution be a name on the sign-in sheet.Being in the first year of a club, it isn’t very likely that you’ll be able to get an officer position this year (although it is possible - I’ve done it). If you truly show your passion for the club and involve yourself with as many as activities as you can, then you can be an officer senior year. Or, better yet, you can skip straight to president and founder by starting a club.As for other extracurriculars, organizations are always looking for volunteers (I love volunteering). Although most school sports require prior skill, some are more open to beginners (I started tennis sophomore year without ever having picked up a racquet before tryouts). Try looking for sports outside school, too.If you want more help finding or starting extracurriculars, feel free to message us off anon and we’d be more than happy to help.I know I already said this a lot, but make sure that whatever you do, you’re doing it for you. Make sure to check out multiple clubs to see what’s out there, but don’t be overwhelmed by everything. Never be afraid to try out a club without having any friends do it with you (I highly regret doing this), or leaving a club because it just isn’t for you. Don’t be just another member - this might mean joining less popular clubs with a smaller amount of members. I’ve left clubs that are too big because I didn’t feel like I could contribute as much as I would’ve liked.Thanks for your ask, and sorry for the long answer (but I hope it helped!)- Anna

Self studying is a great way to get AP credit and learn more about a subject that you are interested in. The Prospect already has a guide for all things self-studying (actually, more than one), but...
Great help!
Ways to Study for a Foreign Language Test
A handout my Spanish teacher handed out earlier this week... I thought it might be useful so I typed it up for all you people out there!
1. Vocabulary and Verbs
a) Make a tape of the vocabulary words or verb spelling. Listen to it as you do things in your room
b) Copy the words over and over on paper
c) Recite the spelling of the words aloud. Just looking at the words in your book or saying them silently in your head, has not proven to be a very successful way of learning them
d) Make flash cards. This is not particularly helpful for learning spelling, but it is beneficial to learning what the words mean
e) Make your own test. Put some words in English on a sheet of paper. See if you can write out the language translation
f) Work with a partner, quizzing each other on spelling and translation
2. Grammar
a) Take good notes. Get your notebook out at the beginning of class
b) Listen very carefully in class. If you have a question, ask your teacher. Don’t wait until after the test
c) At home, re-read the grammar explanation in the text slowly and carefully. Try to understand each sentence you read. If there is a point you don’t understand, write down on a piece of paper so you can ask your teacher the next day
d) Do your homework carefully, using your notes and textbook to help you
3. Reading
It is important for you to understand how to read a passage in a foreign language. The biggest mistake students make is that they will try to read literally, painstakingly translating Word for Word. This takes an incredible amount of time in often yields few results. Instead of looking up each word use the following suggestions to help you when reading:
a) Read it to get the general meaning, not to translate into English. Don't translate unless absolutely necessary
b) Don't panic if you run across unfamiliar words instead skip over the word and go on reading the next sentence. You will often be able to figure out what the word is by the context that it is in. May also be unnecessary to know the particular word. If it becomes apparent that it is essential for you to know the meaning of a particular word and go to the dictionary. Don't forget there are many cognates words that are so similar to English that you can tell what they mean just by looking at them and using your head. Some words will be underlined or marked with an asterisk, indicating that these words have a translation at the bottom of the page or on the side.
4. Listening For many students the hardest part about a foreign language test is the listening comprehension section. As with reading students should not try to translate everything that they hear if they do that they will fall behind. It takes practice and concentration.
a) Listen for keywords, particularly recent vocabulary
b) Do not let your mind wander or else you will lose track of what is going on
c) Listen to your teacher when he or she speaks the language in class - it will be a big help
These can really be used for lots of subjects, not just for a foreign language!
