Ok, so i wanna go to West Virginia, Arizona state, Uconn, Ohio state, Indiana (Bloomington), Or LSU.
— Im trying to go for sports management or something close to that at all these schools.
Admission requirements to these schools are as follows:
4 units of English.
4 units of college preparatory mathematics. Three units must include Algebra I and II and Plane Geometry plus an additional math unit.
3 units of social studies including U.S. History.
3 units of science. ALL units must be laboratory science.
2 units of a foreign language which must be for the same language.
1 unit of fine arts.
I can take 7 Classes
Im filling out my course selection now, I have to take Religion, English, Spanish 2… the rest I can pick, what should I chose?
Im trying to load up with Honors and Ap classes due to having tedious freshman and Sophomore grades and Solid Junior Grades in 2 Honors classes. Art is a joke so i dont wanna take that but i need another .5 of a credit.
Questions:
-
I have only .5 of a credit in Fine art does a Unit mean a credit?
-
Which business class looks better; Honors Accounting 1 or Honors Business Law?
-
Is there a way for me to take a class over the summer at maybe a college near me and get another .5 credit of art to make it a full credit so I can take Sports Medicine in that place. Would colleges accept a course not from my high school but somewhere else?
Thank you in advance.
.5 is not a full unit or credit, as far as I am aware. Your local cc should have summer courses that your hihg school will accpet, but you really should sit down with your school guidance counselor and discuss what you have asked here. Re honors accounting or honors bus law, if the accounting one counts as a math class and you still need math, take that. Otherwise, which ever one interests you. These are all things you should discuss with your counselor. Good luck, and please spell out “want to.”
In the description you have noted above a unit would mean a year and your school appears to call a year a credit. Yes, you need half a year of fine arts if you have it taken a full year of art, music or theatre. If your high school will accept the credit and put it on the transcript, colleges will accept it. I don’t think colleges will care much about accounting versus law. Take what interests you.
You are not mentioning a math or science. Are you taking math or science? If you are trying to make your schedule look more rigorous, I would suggest a math or science.
Yeah taking Pre Calc, and Sports Medicine. Just needed some help with the rest thanks.
Take art at the community college or take a. 5 class in the fall in case you don’t finish all your apps in the summer - you’ll be glad to have an easier class then. You can also complete the equivalent of Spanish 1+2 if you complete Spanish 1 at a university, and if you take one more semester at the University or cc level you’d be considered to have exceeded requirements for all the universities in your list. (2 seemsters of college foreign language count as 3-4high school units = very rigorous schedule). Exceeding the basic level in a foreign language also counts for rigor, just like taking honors pre-calculus does.
If you want a more rigorous schedule, take neither accounting nor business law, but rather AP economics and/ or AP gov.
Do my advice would ld be
Summer: Spanish 1 at cc or university
Fall
Spanish 2 at cc or local university
Spring
.5 credit of art at the HS or art at the cc
Year
Religion
Honors English
Pre-calculus
Sport medicine
AP economics / AP gov (or both, or for an easy AP AP human geography)
Side note:
Have you talked budget with your parents?
Many oos universities will not provide you with financial aid. Some may provide you with merit aid if your GPA is high enough and you have very high test scores. Many of these universities may not be affordable. Buy a FISKE guide (or borrow from your local library) and start reading.
