I have consistently been receiving B's in AP Chemistry, and for future reference, is it better to take an Honors Course and receive an A, or an AP Course and receive a B?

Should I keep dancing to get into college?
A loaded question, for sure. I've been dancing ballet since I was four and really loved it for most of my life. Like, really loved it - so much so that I moved across the country to live with my dance teacher and did online school in order to dance full time. But after two insanely amazing and horrifically difficult years I have decided that dance is not what I want to pursue professionally; it's just too volatile a profession for me. I have moved back home and am back in regular high school in the IB program, and it's super time-consuming and difficult. Should I keep on devoting 20+ hours a week of my life to ballet, knowing that I have no intention of making it my career, in hopes that it makes me stand out to colleges? Should I quit? #ballet #college #college-admissions
What are things to add to your resume or application to make you stand out to colleges?
I work and I heard my counselor say that is something that a lot of colleges don't see anymore. They see a lot of impressive writing camps and things like that to make them stand out, but I just want to know what makes you really stand out to colleges when they are looking through your applications. #college-admissions #psychologymajor

What should I be doing during my "waiting period"?
I sent in all of my college applications before the New Year, but don't hear back from them until late March, leaving me with approximately three months of crippling financial worries and general stress about acceptance. I've been spending my time applying to as many scholarships as possible, but have found little fruition in this since many organizations fail to alert students regarding their success or failure in the scholarship field. Meanwhile, I'm receiving emails from certain institutions about filing for financial aide--though I turned in the FAFSA in October. What more should I be doing? Do I need to submit supplementary information for financial aide? Are there deadlines that I should be paying attention to but, for whatever reason, I don't know exist? #financial-aid #scholarships #college-admissions

How does applying to college as a high school senior compare to applying to graduate school as an undergraduate?
Hi! I ask this question because as a highschool senior, I wonder how independent the graduate school application process truly is. I understand graduate students usually receive far less scholarships than highschool students, but are there ways around that? Also, did the application process feel about as long or longer than highschool-to-college applications? #highschool #applications #graduate-school #college-applications #college-admissions #college

What are my best options if I am currently attending school while on DACA, want to apply to graduate school and or med school but am not sure if I'll still have it by that time?
My DACA expires in two years, my mother is applying for citizenship sometime relatively soon but we are not sure how long that process will take and by that time my DACA may be expired and I'll be extremely limited on what graduate schools and or med schools I can apply to. #medicine #DACA #biology #graduate-school #immigration #college-admissions #college
Should I enroll in an early college program?
I have been presented with the option to attend the Clarkson school in my senior year of high school, an offer that would essentially enroll me as a college student earlier than normal. I would attend the college and take college classes, in tandem with the courses required by my current school to get my high school diploma. There is also the possibility that I would be able to use this circumstance to boost my chances of attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology, my ideal college. Is it wise for me to be rushing through my scholarly career at such a rate? I may be academically prepared for such an endeavor, but is it wise for me to rush the social and/or mental aspect of said endeavor? #college #preparing-for-college #college-admissions #earlyadmissions

Are there possibilities I can get into college due to these reasons:
I moved to the USA in November 2014 and I did not leave this town since then. I am a sophomore in high school and I would like to get my education done in the USA. We do NOT have a green card but we applied for it. I am on an H4 dependent visa and my dad is the only one working. He is in the same company since we moved here.
