Hi! So, I recently got an invitation from some society called the NSHSS or the National Society of High School Scholars and I don't know if I should join or not, since some of my friends got it too and say it's a scam. Does anyone know about this organization and if it is worth it to get their membership?

Hello everyone, Something happened to me today and it just melted my heart. I don't cry usually but the little things just make me emotional. I e-mailed a bunch of professors and tbh I was not expecting a reply because it's cold emailing, right? I just casually checked my email and there was a response, I was like okay let's read a rejection letter and yeah, the professor was busy so she couldn't accept me to her lab but no sooner had I scrolled I saw that she has shared the email to 2 more professors whose research align with mine. It might be a really small thing for her or most of the people but literally there were tears in my eyes. I don't know either I am at my vulnerable state where little things can upset me or make my day Or I genuinely felt a warm vibe, there was something really positive. It is 3:42 in the morning and I am just sitting in front of screen feeling really happy. I am pretty sure that I am not gonna get any research position because probably I am late but it's okay. You would think of me as someone dumb for being emotional on such a little thing, but it meant a lot to me. So yeah, thanks for reading Have a nice day!

Hi! I'm a rising sophomore and have some questions about my AP Classes for this year. I was initially thinking about taking AP US history, AP calc BC, but am unsure about my science and computer classes. I was thinking maybe APCSA, but I'm not sure about it since many people say you need to do a cp1/2 course first, even though I have done APCS Principles and other python programming before. Should I dive right into APCSA, or should I wait and do computer programming courses? Also, for science I was thinking between AP Enviro, AP Chem, and Hnrs chem. However, I have no chem experience, but I don't want to feel like I'm limiting myself with easer classes. So, was just asking for some opinions on these 2 decisions. Thanks!
