Plans for the fall?

They let black people in the AP classes?

I'm kidding!

Queen's is (I think) only 2 hours from Toronto or so. About halfway in between where I am, and Toronto. I might end up goinng there for Pharmacy but I think I'd rather Waterloo - Toronto is very expensive to live in and is incredibly huge. In 2 weeks though we are going to Wonderland as part of physics so I'll give you my scouting report

Yeah, Queens is about 1 1/2 - 2 hours from Toronto. Where do you live Cam? I thought you were in Winnipeg.

I thought he lived in Ottawa...

Yeah, that's it, my bad.

Heh, it's about a 20 minute drive from where I live to the Corel Centre... err, ScotiaBank place, to watch the Sens. Near enough that my friend can work in the Parliament Buildings all summer.

QBaller, it's not so much transferring schools as it is getting into a faculty that's only in certain places. There are only I think 6 schools in all of Canada with one, so it's really like a school all on its own. The only advantage to already be going to the school is you are familiar with the surroundings, but it doesn't really matter since you are pretty much first year all over again anyway. Thanks for the advice though

Well I guess good luck everyone in the States who still has SAT's! Glad we don't have them here!

Why shouldn't people take AP Classes? Those classes can be transferred to colleges for credit , meaning when you become a freshman you basically have already taken Calculus / Psychology / English etc instead of having to bother with college classes. I know for sure if I had to redo 11th and 12th grade I would have taken more than 1 AP class , then I wouldn't have to take the crap known as calculus at a collegiate level where they make it extremely difficult.

Heh, it's about a 20 minute drive from where I live to the Corel Centre... err, ScotiaBank place, to watch the Sens.

What the heck, its called the ScotiaBank Place now? I never knew they changed the Corel Centre's name. Guess they dont tell you anything Ottawa Senators in Leafs Nation around here.

it all really depends on each schools specific policy regarding AP tests, but at my school I got exempt from 1 bio class for getting a 3 on the AP test. I also got some general credit for a 3 in Euro History & a 2 in US history, and that helps in your class standing... I'm like a quarter ahead, so when registration comes around, I get a better enrollment window.
I would suggest taking any AP classes available to you... I was blessed with a good HS with like 15 AP classes along with IB (International Baccalaureate) classes.

not as bad as the Cavaliers Arena. "Quicken Loans Arena." Yes I know its based on the company but it still sounds like crap.

Try Roger's Centre.

Try Roger's Centre.

omfg mr. rogers!

Yeah, actually, it is. Ted Rogers, owner of Rogers Communications.

My personal favourite is the Rexall Arena, in Edmonton (I think). Basically because that is the pharmacy company I work for. What other kind of careers are people looking to get into someday?

Wow!!! How did you like that segway from off topic back to on topic??

Police Officer, bitch.

If I can't become that then I'll settle for Park Ranger.

Rice University, bitches.

For some reason I thought you'd goto Gudger College

Why is that? I do well in school, believe it or not.

Well, KevC fits the whole "smart asian" stereotype..

I know, I know, Korean

Is Rice really awesome?

Like Walker,Texas Ranger?

Ranked #17 in the nation in general undergraduate studies.
Top 3 school in the South (Up there with Duke) known to the be the "Ivy League" of the South.
Heart of nanotechnology.

Sounds awesome KevC, great work.

LOL it was funny because I for some reason read the first line as being about you. Don't ask me why.

What schools did you get into that you picked it over?

University of Texas was my back-up school but Rice was always my first choice . I was also going to apply to Cornell, Duke, and Carnegie Mellon if I didn't get in early decision.
