  • Not taking Calculus in High School. How bad is it for college applications?

    When I came into high school as a freshman, my school didn't let me take Geometry, so it held me back in Math, which at one point was my favorite subject. This fall I'm going to be a senior, and tried taking Precalculus online, but the online class was too annoying and staring in front of a computer 4 hours a day at home drove me insane. So I'm going to be taking Honors Precalc at my school this senior year, and I really feel like I made a big mistake not finishing Precalc online.

    How much has this decision inflicted my college applications?

    I spent most of the summer volunteering in a hospital (VP of teen board), and have a ton extra curric (president of 2 clubs, and secretary in one)

    Musical instrument-Piano

    weighted gpa-4.1

    unweighted 3.8

    Last SAT score 2080, taking it again in 5 weeks after severe practicing (probably around 2100ish)

    have taken every AP course my school offers except 1 in sophmore year, and next year AP Calc

    (have taken and taking this year ---AP BIo, LIterature, Language, US history,Gov, and Studio Art)

    Do I have a chance in getting into top schools? (Berkley,Stanford, UPenn,)

    Or more likely UCSB, Pepperdine, and LMU

    Majoring undecided (but extracurric point me to engineering and medicine)

    Really "IMHOs" (in my honest opinion)

  • Best place to buy a Verizon cell phone on contract?

    I finished my two year contract with verizon and right now I'm planning on getting a galaxy nexus. What I was wondering is that where I should buy it, determined best on best price, best experience, all together. I was thinking about getting it from amazon.com or letstalk.com but these websites don't include a manufacturer warranty, which is a big downside for me. I'm thinking of either getting it from Best Buy, Costco, or the Verizon store itself for $300.

  • Galaxy Nexus vs HTC Rezound vs DROID Razr? ANY Opinion WHICH IS BEST!!!!?

    I know this question shows up a lot, but I am having a really tough decision.

    Galaxy Nexus-Android 4.0, great screen, but I've never used a vanilla android phone, only used a siblings htc thunderbolt, I'm a nerd for phones but I don't exactly know how to root phones (I have jailbroken iphones)

    Htc rezound-I'm a music addict, bit bulky, Want the Facebook Integration,

    Droid Razr-I like the thinness, but I don't like MOtorola

    Really I want the Galaxy nexus with FB intergration like on the HTC, can i do that? Without rooting preferably?

    I really like the build quality of the HTC phones, like the solidness but I wear skinny jeans

    Which one is best for the SOCIAL, MUSIC, and the NERD?

    I know that I can only use the beats audio of the HTC with the stock player, which sucks because I'm probably going to use doubletwist

    Coming from a Blackberry 8330 and iPhone 4

  • More important to smartphone speed: RAM or Processor/Processor Speed?

    What specs are the most important like when purchasing a phone...whether it has a dual-core Tegra 2 processor, or how good the 1Ghz processor is on a new phone?

    Or should you pay careful consideration to whether a phone has like 512 MB of RAM as opposed to 768 MB of RAM...which will be more important to how the phone functions speed-wise?

    Basically HTC Thunderbolt or DROID BIONIC by Motorola
