제목 Future Plans, mainly APs, and extracurricular activities: Making a Theme.
Hello, I'm a student starting 10th grade attending an International school in Korea, and I plan to take 2APs:
AP chemistry and AP Calculus AB/BC.

In the future, which is 11th grade, I plan on taking 3 more, being AP Biology, AP statistics, and possibly AP Physics. In 12th Grade, I will take other subjects like AP economy or etc that Universities require me to take once I start attending their school.

I plan on going to American Dental Universities. Will this be a decent enough plan to go to American Dental Universities, as I just started studying AP chemistry and AP Calculus? Or is it a little short on time? I got a 790 in Math II C without taking Precalculus in 9th grade, and my GPA from 9th Grade was 96.93.

I studied 50% of SAT II Chemistry and decided to move on to AP Chemistry so that I can reduce the amount of APs that I need to do in 11th grade. Do you think this is too much, as AP bio itself is a very stringent subject alone? I am working on my SAT right now. If I assume I will get an 800 on SAT 1 Math, my total reading & writing score ranges around 660. I heard that the average SAT score for dental applications is 1530~1560. I am not working on my essay right now, but the first one that I took ranged about 6,6,5, adding up to a 17.

This is for my future plan, and for my extracurricular activities, I will try to persistently continue on with a few clubs like RCY until 12th grade, but as for sports, I am quite unsure if I need them for my Extracurricular activities, whether I need it or not, as I dislike them. I am in a volunteering group in school.


In general, do you think my extracurricular activities are lacking? or is it enough, and I should focus on academics more? I don't usually do ASAs that much because some tend to disappear after a few quarters, and New After school Activities come out. The only ones that stay are the ones like RCY or NHS or etc. Should I try to get into the clubs that will remain until I graduate?

P.S, I wrote my question in English because I thought I could describe myself more accurately. I understand Korean and am capable of reading and understanding it because I am a Korean student, or I should say, Korean-Korean. I don't have an American Citizenship or green card. I lived in Canada for 2 years.

안녕하세요. Lucia입니다.


 


영어로 상담글을 쓴 패기가 대단하군요. ㅎㅎ 몇 안되는 학생입니다.


 


한국에서의 국제학교는 9월입학인가요? 아님 3월 입학인가요?


 


일단 9학년 GPA는 좋지만, 10학년, 11학년, 12학년까지 유지할 수 있어야합니다. 생각밖으로 점점 GPA 받기가 쉽지 않습니다.


앞으로 유지를 잘하는 것에 집중하는 것이 좋습니다.


 


치대를 간다는 목표하에 열심히 준비하려고 하는 모습이 기특하군요.


일단 10학년에는 Subject Test를 마무리하는 것이 좋지만, 11학년에 해도 늦지 않습니다.


학과목을 들을때 Test를 마친다는 목표는 좋지만,


학기가 끝나는 5월, 6월에 보는 것이 더 바람직할 것입니다.


 


글쎄요. Activities가 부족하다 말다 언급하기가 어렵습니다.


구체적인 사항들은 컨설팅에 해당하게 되니 더 자세하게 말씀드리기도 어렵구요.


대략적으로 말씀드리면, 일단 Dental school에 가고 싶다고 한다면


science lab이라던가 dental office에 internship이라던가를 더 추가하는 것도 좋을 듯 합니다.


과학에 대한 관심을 더 보여야합니다. Research paper같은 것도 써두면 좋구요


 


학생의 목표가 구체적이고 지금처럼 차근차근 잘 준비를 한다면 목표하시는 성과를 꼭 얻을 수 있을 것입니다.


 


화이팅입니다!
