AP Exam Score Relevance for Architecture Major?
Hi, my name Sanvhi and I am planning to major in architecture. I am currently a junior and my dream school is University of Pennsylvania. I have listed the AP's I have taken with the score I have received, and the ones I plan to take. All the following AP's I hope to get a 5 on, but if I were to get a 4 on any, they would most likely be APUSH, both AP English's, and possibly Calculus AB or BC. I plan to put majority of my focus on AP Physics 2 and Research to show growth from a 4 in AP Physics 1 and Seminar to a 5 in those, as well as AP 3D Studio, Art History, and Calculus. AP World History Modern: 4 AP Microeconomics: 5 AP Precalculus: 5 AP Macroeconomics: 4 AP Seminar: 4 AP Physics 1: 4 AP Art History: AP Research: AP Calculus: AP English Language: AP Physics 2: AP 3D Studio Art: APUSH: AP Calculus BC: AP English Literature: Other than my exam scores, I have been doing research outside of school on architecture and domestic violence and plan to publish it, founder of the Engineering Club (integrated the Society of Woman Engineers program in it), applied for a SWE award (hopefully a recipient) and to be a SWE Influencer, applying for the Scholastic Art award and other architecture contest, SGA president for 3 years, and a youth ambassador for a domestic violence nonprofit working for university outreach. I have not taken the SAT yet, but plan to try my best to get around a 1500. I know nothing is set in stone and things can change with my results in contests, real SAT score, and more, but I was just wondering how important my AP scores would be for UPENN. Again I know there's no definite answer but I just wanted some others opinions! Thank you!!
Given my situation, what advice would you give me regarding career paths, pursuing a CPA, and making the most of my Finance degree while still using my accounting knowledge?
I am a senior and am currently switching from an Accounting major to a Finance major due to not meeting the requirements for four accounting classes by one grade. To add, my overall GPA is good and I am in honors. I decided to switch to Finance since it is the closest major in terms of credits. I feel very upset, but I think I can still pursue a CPA since I have taken some accounting classes. In my Financial Accounting class, I was taught how to create financial statements from scratch, and that is what I did for my final exam with no cheat sheets. I enjoyed and understood how to create financial statements. But now, knowing I can't pursue an Accounting degree, it really hurts. Given my interests in accounting, sustainability, environmental issues, and bioethics, are there any master's programs or career paths you would recommend that could combine these interests? I am particularly interested in learning whether there are STEM-designated graduate programs that would allow me to use my accounting and finance background while working in sustainability, ESG, environmental management, or bioethics-related fields.

I’m currently a college student working toward a degree in Marketing and plan to transfer to a four-year university next year. I’ve had some rough semesters due to burnout and personal challenges which affected my GPA despite working hard, especially outside the classroom (internships, freelance work, content creation, etc.). I’m trying to stay focused on the bigger picture and keep building toward my career goals, but it’s hard not to feel discouraged sometimes, especially when my transcript doesn’t reflect how much I’ve grown.

Is it possible to get into one of the more prestigious colleges even if I didn't have very good grades the first semester of my freshman year ?
I kinda started out my freshman year ok before my grades tanked due to me not turning homework in because I was sick quite often and missed days of school. Since I failed so horribly the first semester I plan to at least get higher than A-'s all throughout high school to hopefully make up for it. I should also note that getting an A isn't that difficult for me because I got Bs and Cs in the first semester without putting in much effort. But I've realized now that I should just get high school over with and put in the the full effort.
