Hey guys,

I'm from a military base in Okinawa and I learned about the language and culture there when I was growing up. I'm trying to self-study the AP exam for it, but I'm having trouble finding reliable resources (the owl is kinda eh), and I want to learn the language well.

I know everybody is saying to use anki, but I don't really like the UI and the things for downloading are pretty difficult for me. I can hold basic conversations but I'm really trying to build more grammar and kanji, so any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I'm trying to self-study the AP exam for it (about N3 level) and take the N4 this December, but I'm having trouble finding reliable resources (the owl is kinda eh), and I want to learn the language well.

Hey Guys,

I'm applying to colleges with hopes of being a quant and I was looking around and saw that there were some schools which were good despite not having "well-rounded quality." I was looking mainly at U Michigan Ann Arbor and Baruch because they had a lot of alumni who went into the field. Of course, the higher level schools like Princeton and MIT and whatnot have high rankings but I wanted to here you guys' thoughts about these colleges or even better ones.

I’m 16, so I’m still pretty young, but I’m interested in going into quantitative finance as a career path. I’m not sure it’ll help but I slipped a grade so I’m also going into my senior year. I know that the hours are brutal starting out and internships are extremely rare to come out (I have the plan of being an actuary if things don’t work out), but I think I have a shot at being a quant and I would enjoy it.

I wanted to ask you guys if for any guidance that I might be able to get for my situation, whether it be colleges to apply to, activities to do in high school, subjects to self-study, or something else entirely.

I‘m planning on applying to NYU and UChicago, but I‘m not too confident that I’ll get in. Also, I‘m in Florida so UF might be viable.

I‘m more sure if my math background will help, but I took calc 3 and diff equs last year, and tested out of calculus 1 and 2 the year before. I also self-studied quite a bit, I know fundamental real analysis and what I think is slightly advanced probability theory— I am good at learning math quickly.

Any advice is appreciated, and thank you in advance!
