Here was my path to Stanford for graduate school (M.A. + acceptance at Brown University - no safety schools); later in life, M.S. IT & Telecommunication Systems, Johns Hopkins University. High School - 1. Get stoned a lot. 2. Skip school a lot. 3. Shack up with girlfriend (1 year). 4. Grow hair to shoulder length. 5. Ride dirt bikes. 6. Graduate in bottom quarter of class. College (state university): 1. Get excited about learning. 2. Take the most rigorous courses. 3. Write down every word you encounter in your college reading and remember the definitions. 4. Graduate with honors in 3 years. 5. Garner knock out letters of recommendation from faculty members. 6. Score 90th percentile or better on the GRE. 7. Know that for all your accomplishments you are still stepping up to a roulette wheel.

my mind is blown with the fact that theres 9th graders taking precalc, in puertorico we take algebra 2 or geometry in 9th grade, and I myself was in what I would call a shitty school since I took Algebra 1 in 9th, im now in 11th in a school specialized in math and science where i would have been taking trigonometry now but since i need geometry to graduate im taking math classes with 10th graders. I alr learned all of geometry by my self at home with khan academy and am planning to do the same with every other math class, hopefully getting to Calculus classes soon, in 12th grade ill be taking trigonometry, pre calc and statistics but i hope i alr know everything that will be taught beforehand

[@tmfdl5399]

on an unrelated note, how much prep time did u have for ISEF? at my school we only have a month to do all the research and find what we want to do for the science fair but it seems like theyre having us do 2 science fair projects, one in investigation and another in engineering. We have till October 30th to hand in all the papers related to what we are going to do, mentors and any legal approval for our testings.

Hi there, Rishan Jain. I hope you're doing good. My question to you is, you said you wanted to be a medical student (i think you already are), and yet you're so good at maths and physics. You literally created an algorithm to help fight pancreatic cancer, that's very genius. I'm a student whose not very good at physics and maths, but I love it. I don't want to part away from it after 12th grade, which is why I'm confused as to which career I should opt. Unfortunately in my country, there's a lot of competition and majority of the people opting for maths and physics go for a highly competitive entrance exam (which by the way you may have already guessed and you know how difficult it is). I however do not wish to do any of that. I do want to receive good education in maths, physics, coding. But I'm not interested into the IT sector, i want to work individually. So, my question is, I see how innovative you are despite not being an engineer and stuff, you're so Good at innovations and you wanna be a doctor? I assume. So are you studying biotechnology at Harvard or basically what are you studying? And what would you advice me in this?
