Generally, the first term that is possible for an applicant in your situation is Spring of 2012, as we would then have enough work (30+ hours) by the deadline for a review. For Spring 2011, we would not have any college work, and for Summer and Fall of 2011, we would only have one semester of courses, which is not enough to make a decision.DGraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898528441077213024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610885684347083635.post-24362498454222157732010-05-04T22:08:58.420-04:002010-05-04T22:08:58.420-04:00I'm a high school senior headed to GCSU for Fa...I'm a high school senior headed to GCSU for Fall 2010.

The applicant pool is very different now compared to several years in the past.<br /><br />Second, we do not look down on AP social studies, but, as you can see from some of my earlier posts, we are looking at the broad scope of your curriculum, not just counting AP classes. We are looking at what is offered at your high school in all of the core areas, and what you have taken.<br /><br />I hope this helps!DGraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898528441077213024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610885684347083635.post-73061320226315827522010-01-19T20:55:45.533-05:002010-01-19T20:55:45.533-05:00i took a lot of ap classes, but all of them are s....i took a lot of ap classes, but all of them are s. studies class. my older bro took only one ap class, calculus got in. my sister took ap bio and cal, got in. i have 5 ap classes s.studies. i heard somewhere that ap social studies classes are seem as easy and not taken as seriously, but at my school they are the most widdled down ap with 7 (me one of them) seniors taking an ap s. studies class out of about 300 seniors. what is the deal?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610885684347083635.post-36404627004553986132010-01-19T11:43:13.555-05:002010-01-19T11:43:13.555-05:00Anon1: Actually, you can look at the College Board...Anon1: Actually, you can look at the College Board and ACT sites for conversion charts, but their focus will be the between the SAT Writing and the ACT combined English/Writing score.

I had forgotten that the online application was due at 9:30 pm on Jan. 15 and submitted my application at 10:44 pm that day. However, after I submitted the application, I learned that I could not pay for it after 9:30 pm (that’s how I remember it was due at 9:30 pm). I didn’t want to pay the non-refundable $60 fee until I found out if my application would still be accepted. On Monday, I accidently submitted my application payment by fee waiver. I won’t be able to send that waiver until this Wednesday Jan. 20. Will my application and fee waiver still be accepted even though it is submitted after the deadline?

You have been very clear that those who missed the 1/15/2010 9:30 p.m. EST deadline due to technical issues should be OK because the system did not close right at that time. Having said that, but for other reasons, I was not able to submit my application until after 9:30, and was not able to pay until this morning. Based on the fact that the system accepted the application and the payment, can I feel comfortable that my application is truly accepted as an RD and will be reviewed in the normal timeframe?
