<p>Here is the recommended university path</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.hhs.osceola.k12.fl.us/pdfnew/Guidance/2014-2015%20HHS%20Curriculum%20Guide.pdf”>http://www.hhs.osceola.k12.fl.us/pdfnew/Guidance/2014-2015%20HHS%20Curriculum%20Guide.pdf&lt;/a&gt; </p>

<p>and the required curriculum checklist</p>

<p>Now for anyone considering a top 20 or majoring in computer science for example, they prefer 4 math and 4 science as well as 4 language years. So based on those criteria between the HS and what the colleges prefer you would use 22 credits just on those plus 1 drivers ed…leaves 1 elective to fill out the 24 credit requirement. How are they then looking for “well rounded” students based on their elective choices when you basically have 1?</p>

<p>My school has 8 different classes per year. </p>

<p>Math, language, and science is 3 periods. </p>

<p>His only has 6 per year for a total of 24.</p>

<p>Most schools have 6-8 classes periods a year. math, language, science, history, and english are 5 periods. Depending on your school’s schedule, you’ll have 1-3 electives a year; 4 to 12 total. It is what you do with these electives that matters. They honestly don’t look for “well rounded” students based on electives. My electives were music classes… they’ll more be looking that you’re well rounded by excelling in all the core subjects and are taking them every year, then look at your electives and ECs</p>
