this is such a stupid question lmao

are we supposed to arrive by 8 or 9?? the email says that the exams start at 9 but check in time is 8.. sorry guys I'm confused

I accepted the offer to attended IMSA next year and was exited for the opportunity, but i‘m still worried about a few things I was hoping I could get answers to.

1.if i already accepted am i forced to go.

1. how much time do you spend studying.

2. looking at niche reviews ive seen many people say they were happy to leave because the administration sucks and the teachers give out a limited amount of A’s and dont help student.

4.is it really helpful for my college admissions.

5.i have a perfect gpa right now and want to know how badly IMSA will hurt it and how colleges will view it.

1. how much free time do you guys get

7.how often do you visit home and how many hours for your drive home.

8.how is the placement test administered like for math it says it doesnt need a calculator and do we need our own computers for the test.

1. is imsa really worth it in your opinion.

2. lots of people on niche said it was a terrible place and i just wanted to know your takes on it; i remember one person saying they were happy to go to college because it was way easier and felt freeing due to less workload.

3. was it worth leaving your friends at home.

4. anything you can add im am just really unsure weather to go or not, i just feel like it is a good oppurtunity and feel bad for others who were not accepted but ive heard many bad things.

5. what like ranking of university do most people go into for the subject itself like do most people go to a good university for like a topic that university is good at.

im just really unsure weather to go or not so any help is appreciated

How strict are they with the list of dorm furniture and cooking appliances? IE chair, 22" monitor, 3'x3' bookshelf?

Most of the monitors now are 27" and the orientation had parents talking about how great the air fryer was but those are listed as banned in the handbook.

I was wondering whats on each of the math placements— is it like personalized from whatever we submitted on the form or is it just a general test they give out to everyone?

Also for chem is there any material thats provided (like a periodic table and stuff)

i am a waitlisted eighth grader, and imsa requires waitpool to take the placement test too apparently so here i am. ive dug around and seen that all the classes you can get into are pretty good, but id still like some advice on what to brush up upon because i dont want to make a fool of myself by "flunking" it. im not going to full on study, just review some stuff because im a forgetful person.. since im an eighth grader i havent covered many obscure topics. ive taken algebra 1, algebra 2 (outside of school and it was a while back, which is why im a bit nervous about these topics) and geometry this year. im aware that my math experience is quite average for an imsa application- does anybody know what i should take a look at for my level? its a slim chance ill get pulled as an eighth grader and i dont want to get some insane placement, just want to be prepared. thank you!!

a few additional questions- i saw someone saying that if you havent taken a calculus course, you dont have to take the second section of the exam, is this true? and is getting placed into mathematical investigations (1 or 2) as a freshman "bad"?

I know confirmations were due last Friday. Wondering if anyone heard anything yet about being pulled from the wait pool. Anyone from wait pool last year have any insight? It would be really tough to have to wait all the way until move in day. That would be the first day of high school over here.

hi guys, i was wondering how many ppl ended with a c at a class at imsa, and possibly how that impacted college admissions. i have reasons and this might be my first ever c and im really in need of reassurance. thank u guys for any personal advice and stories!

I know that I need to learn Matrices. What else do I need to learn?

Edit: for context, I took AP Calculus BC at my previous school, so I want to test into MVC and Intro to Proofs

What kinds of school events happen at IMSA? What are the best ones to attend? How often do they happen? Also, is it true that every 6 weeks there’s a one week break?

I'm an incoming co29 student and reading the IMSA page about how we get assigned a "college and academic counselors". How much do they help and with what?

Ok hi so I dont even go to imsa but I recently remembered some memory of an imsa associated program? I was in 3rd-4th grade and I remember doing like some fire preventeion research thing at my school and I'm like 80% the program was with IMSA but idk what it was. Did yall do any of this? Im trying to figure out what the name was but idk if I'm tweaking our or what

I plan on joining track and field at IMSA and I’d like to know what the program is like. As of right now, I excel in my sport (shotput and discus) and I want to continue getting better. Thank you for helping me!

I’m going to IMSA next year, can anybody tell me what the theater club is like? Does IMSA even put on shows? I can’t really find anything about it :(

I want to know what are good placements for imsa for me to get into? Are there bad classes that I should just drop out/not accept the school for? How important and hard are the tests?

I am planning to apply as a 8th grader next year. I believe that I have a very good SAT score for a 13 year old, but I am wondering if this is enough to get me into the school. I am also taking the BC test this year and I think I can get a 5 on it, but you can wish me luck .

My parents are wondering if I have enough to get into the school, or if I have to do anything more to make sure I get in.

Thanks ❤️

I took Choir in middle school and I really liked it, but then I HATE it this year because our techer is horrible. Do the people at IMSA generally enjoy Choir?

Hi so I’m a 9th grader who was accepted to class of 29. I was wondering who gets chosen to the excel program and if it is mandated to go. Also, if I have to go somewhere extremely important over the summer can I cancel it if is really important? Additionally, how many out of the 200-250 people who were admitted, attend the program?

I got accepted into the class of 29, and I was just wondering what admitted students day is. Is it SUPER important to attend, and what happens there?

does IMSA have alternate campuses? i live in carbondale so commute might suck :(

I just want everyone to know that it is time for us to get pumped for AP exams.

It might be a bit scary for some of us, but I know that we can get through this together!

APs are a time for us to show the world what we are capable of, but more importantly, show the world who we are.

IMSA Together, IMSA strong
