MYP or honors?


Question Posted Monday February 7 2005, 5:22 pm

so, its schedule planning time in my High school. and this year ive taken classes in this program called Middle Years Program. Ive found my 4.0 grades last year imp[ossible in this program, its rigorous. i have a 3.0. its a 2 year program and i can drop out niext year, and take honors and AP classes instead, but i dono if i should. the pros of this program is that ill get a MYP certificate of completeion, i dono if that is important to any college. in addition to next year, id have to ocomplete a "personal project" which is a 6month long project. its tons of work. i need to get a job next year. i can barely do MYp now, i don if i should drop out because next year ill have to have a job, and do the personal project, and get reasonable grades in MYP. im working hard to rise my GPA but so far i find myself very swamped and confused. on top of ALL of this my mom most likely wants me to keep being in MYP, because she thinks i can handle it. but i cant and i want to get into penn state, and i cant with 3.0 grades. please give me advice, i dono what to do with myself.

it seems like your stressed and overworked, id say that what you need to do is go and get some info on peen state, see if they are interested with students who have an MYP, if they like that kinda thing then you should think about whether you want to continue or not, when you graduate your two years in the MYP will be on the application, even though you didnt have four, correct? and advanced classes and honors also impress, a 4.0 + honors/ap will impress more and if you think by next year that you can take MYP + have a 4.0 then go for it, just remember to take a break once in a while, when your really feeling overloaded

Ok first off I know exactly what you're going through.. I'm not doing as well as I'd like to either in my honor's classes at the moment... And I feel so overwhelmed with all the homework and my extra-curriculars. But that Middle Years Program sounds like it could be your savior.. Well sort of. I know you don't have as great of a GPA as you'd like but colleges like Penn State are definitely looking for awesome programs like this. They know it's tough stuff which is why you should stick with it. Just relax and concentrate really hard on the stuff you're not quite getting. That's what I'm currently doing. It'll all fall into place and no worries, I'm sure you'll get into Penn. Good luck!! If you need anymore advice lemme know!

Hope I helped!

How did you ever have a 4.0 if you can't spell for your life? There was this wonderful invention called a dictionary you should try it sometime oh and take which ever one is easier because I can't see you doing well with spelling like that.
