The information below what is meant by the statement “exception of English and Math courses” for these A-G requirements. What they are stating is that Non-UC transferable College courses can fulfill some of the A-G HS requirements for these 2 subjects.
English
College courses
For each year required through the 11th grade, a grade of C or better in a non-transferable college course of 3 or more semester (4 or more quarter) units in English composition, literature (American or English) or foreign literature in translation. Courses used to satisfy the fourth year and/or the entire requirement must be transferable.
Math
College courses
Three semester (4 quarter) units of non-transferable college courses in elementary algebra, geometry, intermediate algebra or trigonometry, with a grade of C or better, satisfy one year each of the math requirement.
Grade of C or better in a transferable mathematics course of at least 3 semester (4 quarter) units that has advanced algebra or the equivalent as a prerequisite satisfies two years of the requirement (but not geometry).NOTE: All students must complete a geometry course or integrated math with geometry content (e.g., Math II). One transferable college course will not satisfy the full three-year math requirement.
Sorry I didn’t mean this as a reply to you, but for anyone who might know.
I thought in the past I had seen some admission statistics that included total # of A-G courses of admitted or enrolled students, numbers that were in the 20s or 30s (not sure if that was measured by semesters or years; obviously well beyond the minimum required). Did I imagine this, maybe from anecdotes or something? I don’t see that type of data in the links I have saved.
• 7th & 8th grade courses do not need to appear on the high school transcript
• Math and Language other than English (LOTE) are the only subject areas
that can be met by course work in middle school
• UC will accept a geometry course completed in middle school
I remember worrying about that high average A-G courses for accepted students (and wondering how so many could achieve it), but my daughter got in with like, 21 or 22? I know she forgot to include a couple of electives that would’ve helped!
I know this came up a week or so ago, but my son received an email this week to set up his UCLA portal. Nothing too exciting in the portal, but just wanted to pass along for students to check their emails so they can set up their portals.
I may be confused - I thought UCLA used a website for everyone to check their admissions, and not a portal? I’ll need to check in with my kiddo about how the UCs portals are coming along.
Hey everyone, newbie to UC applications here. I tried googling this but it was confusing. How can my son add his first semester grades to the UC applications? (I am coming at this as a person used to the common app with my older son) Is this just not something that happens? Sorry for being dense about this.
UC’s do not consider Senior grades in their application review so he cannot add them to the UC application. If he is waitlisted in March, then he could update UCLA with the Mid-year grades as part of the waitlist opt in.
yes, I did. Each question could potentially apply to me, but I don’t feel like any of my circumstances were that far out of the ordinary so Im not sure why I was selected.
