Should I lock in for AP Chem

I am a senior with a 4.52 GPA who got into UGA. I've never gotten below a 4 on any ap exam, and only have one B on ap precalc in my whole highschool career. This year, however, I have been gooning around and have a 74 in AP Chemistry. I was thinking about locking in for the AP exam but after further consideration, I realized that if I studied now, I would feel like an idiot for not having a B or an A in the class. Studying now (for the ap exam) would make me feel even worse about not locking in and just studying throughout the year. I am planning on transfering to GT for IE. Should I lock in to look better when i transfer to GT, or does it not even matter? Please lmk what yaal think

High School FRC Robotics Team Facing Unfair Shutdown

My high school robotics team (FRC) is at risk of being shut down, and we’re trying to do everything we can to save it.

For context, our team has been around for 15 years and has had a real impact on students and the community. Just in the past 3 years, we’ve made it to the World Championships twice by winning the Engineering Inspiration Award (which recognizes teams that inspire others to pursue STEM). We’ve also won the Team Sustainability Award at the Georgia state level two years in a row (2025 and 2026).

This program isn’t just another club—it’s where a lot of us found our passion for engineering, built real skills, and connected with mentors and opportunities we wouldn’t have otherwise had.

Right now, we’re trying to push back against the decision. We started a petition and are reaching out to as many people as possible for support:

Petition: https://www.change.org/p/save-south-forsyth-high-school-s-frc-team

I’m posting here for two reasons:

  1. If you’ve been in FRC or any STEM program, what helped your team survive/admin pushback? Any advice is appreciated.
  2. If you’re willing, please sign the petition and share it. Even small support helps.

If you’ve had experiences with robotics programs or know how impactful they can be, comments sharing that could also help a lot.

Thanks.
