Are 4 years of history and sociology now required? When I was a high schooler in 01-05 I definitely only took 2.5 years of history (1 year of non ap world, 1 year of non-ap us, 1 semester of Middle East history). Sociology sounds very broad but I would say I took only 1 semester that fit into that (my religion requirement which was somehow satisfied by a class caled “homer and Tolstoy”). My high school is an elite private ivy feeder though so it’s possible that our school was somehow exempt from these traditional requirements but more likely the requirements have changed in 10 years but I definitely didn’t realize that.
