my parents are forcing me to make it today
The situation: I'm considering going back to the school I'm zoned for instead of the school which hosts the program i'm in.
Pros of going back: -Get to sleep in an extra 30 minutes or so -More friends -Easier workload
Cons of going back: -Lose potential college credits
Pros of staying: -Already have new friends -If I complete the course, I get 45 college credits
Cons of staying: -Rednecks -Less sleep -I'd have to drive 30 minutes to school tired everyday -I always fazed out during 6th and 7th periods due to being tired
I seriously need help making this choice. Going back would make life easier now, but staying would make life easier in the long run.
"That's why they call it the American Dream: because you have to be asleep to believe it." - George Carlin | This is my siggy. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

apologizes, that's the course i'm currently in, aka pre-AICE.
i don't start getting college credits until junior year, but i'd need to complete sophomore pre-AICE to be able to do AICE in junior and senior years.

you don't get college credits until you apply to a school and they give you credit
do you know places that will take this that you think you can get into?
if not, go back to your other school |

"u nevr know how much credit u get until u get into the school u want to go to."
this, you can't say "yeah i'm getting 45 credits" until they tell you "yeah heres 45 credits you are waived from those courses"
you need to do more research on this, find out if the schools you want to go to accept this program and for how many credits |

from what i understand about AICE its like a UK-based IB and as an IB student im staying in it (going to a farther-away school) for college admissions so i can get into top-tier schools passing the program is definitely a boost for acceptance and also can help on credits but it depends on the institution

so tell your mother to bug off and find some schools that you would like to attend
Miami is a great school if you want to stay in florida, for starters |

USF is definitely a great choice if i want to stay local, but i haven't looked into what courses they offer.
USF is also my mom's alma mater
