what is your field of study?

Hopefully something engineering/computer related... maybe medicine, idfk. Really whatever scholarships/tuition opportunities arise. I need to start applying soon though.
My GPA, SAT, and background accomplishments allow me to pretty comfortably apply to a majority of schools, so it's really just a matter of which ones annoy me the least with emails, and then try to get me to pay for an application.

I decided to take ap comp sci and computer programming this year and it's pretty fun so far.

 

I have no reference point... new teacher to the school this year and before she's only taught private schools and stuff in west Africa. But on a personal level, pretty good.
Like the classes are pretty interchangeable, though one is ap and an entire year, mostly focused on stuff inside a computer right now and how they work, while computer programming is a semester, and the title is what it is. We get into more actual programming in comp sci later in the year. The ap "test" for it is like a few multiple choice and then a project you start a while before.

 

K-12 grade system for US, but how you divide the schools below that is completely up to the school district itself. Mine is Elementary K-3 (ages about 5-9), Intermediate 4-6 (ages about 10-12), Middle 7-8 (ages about 13-14), and High School 9-12 (ages about 15-18)

 

Here it's everyone does the same amount of schooling, regardless of what you want to do, but you can choose your classes for a good majority of high school, though there are a lot that are mandated for a diploma. Then it's essentially a big "fuck you" for actually preparing you for a field, you get to do that yourself. There's no: in 7th grade you choose what you want to go into, like some countries do, where all subsequent education is based around that field.

 

yeah, that's what I meant by choosing at like 7th grade, it's definitely different. Here you just need "credits" in certain things. Because there's also technically no requirement to do higher education or college. High school prepares you for literally any path you may or may not want to take. My school is 4 math, 3 science, 3 history, 4 english, 1 art, 2 PE, 1 health, and the only stated requirement in these is through algebra 2 in math (not even the last year, so you have nearly open choice in the last math credit you do). You can also take some math / science classes early based on how well you do, or if you're a "gifted student". Really you can do whatever you want for the other ones as long as it falls under that credit. Biology / Physics / Chemistry are all separate classes that you can take to fill your science credits. so this year I had the choice to take or not take a science class altogether. Me, my dumbass, and I decided to go for an honors diploma, so I'm taking an additional 2 classes (ap physics and sociology&economics to fill for the extra credit requirement) I also have the opportunity to earn college credit (ccp) in high school for free, which counts as 2 credits for high school and college credit in general. There is also zero requirement at my school to take a language (we have 5 options) but some colleges like to see the credits for it.

I also find it kinda funny that the highest education option for your system is literally the US word for a gym, lol

 

I have a degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice. I also have a certification in Horticulture.

 

probably environmental science or forestry. sounds really cool though

 

My brother has a degree in Forestry and Wildlife.
