I think that sophomore year is the hardest yes I am a sophomore. I am already taking 2 AP classes this year in addition to all my regular classes and going for my schools STEM certificate. I am taking the max amount of classes possible that can fit into our schedule, 8, when most people take 4 or 5, I am actually taking 2x as many classes as most of the people in my grade and on top of that, I have to deal with family issues at the same time.
I personally believe that junior year is the hardest be we honestly was not prepared to be thrown in to college and AP classes and we are scarcely preparing for the ACT and SAT and most of us have jobs and we have to have a little bit of time to our selves.
But personally I never been so stressed out in my life. I personally find the sophomore year the toughest. Children are often given too much responsibilty , work , study material and more stress. Children of the sophomore year have to mainly study , study and come off the box to be intellectuals. I definitely agree junior year is likely going to be the hardest. Last year as a Freshman I took sophomore Geometry and struggled a bit second semester. Our teacher is really hard on us and never gives us any sort of extra credit to help us raise our grades.
Now looking back I wish I could go back to geometry bc it seems so much easier. Freshman year is the easiest. Sophomore is getting hard because of chemistry and history. Junior year is stressful.
Senior year you need to keep up with everything and getting ready to go in the world. From my experience, sophomore year of high school was my most difficult year of high school in terms of academics. But, of course, the reality may be somewhat different depending on how many courses you took each year. As people mentioned below, admissions officers are generally at least somewhat understanding of specific situations that made it hard for you to excel during a given time period. They are typically most understanding if you performed poorly during your first year of high school and then showed positive upward growth during subsequent years.
However, a good explanation IE. The fact that you are international complicates things as well. Schools in other countries often don't operate similarly to US schools. Sometimes lower GPAs are much more common.
If this is the case, things may be all right so long as your school counselor explains this clearly when they submit your transcript and other supplementary materials. At some elite schools, a single C can effectively disqualify you.
At many selective schools, failing a class means you don't have a chance. Finally, whether or not you can get into top schools also depends on the rest of your application. Your near-perfect SAT score will definitely help you everywhere except test-blind schools. One morning I was a year-old with newly found self-confidence and a driver's license. The next I was planning for a k — well that's what junior year felt like.
It should have been a golden year — no longer the dorky, directionless freshman, I could now balance after-school clubs, puberty and, oh yeah, seven classes' worth of homework. I felt untouchable. I thought that if I couldn't get the right scores to get into the right college, I might as well kiss my chances of a bright future goodbye — which looking back now was absurd.
I grew up in a suburb of Detroit, where the expectation was that everyone in my county would go to a Big 10 school and anyone who was accepted to an Ivy League was applauded. I'm not saying it's not worth applauding, but it made students like me, who didn't have the grades or the finances to go to a prestigious school, feel our options for success were limited.
I won't forget the level of stress I endured trying to be perfect during the year in high school that would determine my fate. Fellow juniors spent hundreds of dollars for test prep courses, study guides and practice tests. In , an American Psychological Association study found that teens' stress level during the school year "far exceeds what they believe to be healthy 5.
I felt there were no coping methods for tackling the stress that swallowed us whole. Michelle says,.
