<p>First, my school doesn't have any "g - Elective", however would a Art History class taken at a local community college count as one? </p>
<p>Second, I took online Spanish for two years and that isn't approved; because of that, would I not be allowed into a UC school, because of that one requirement? A second part to that question, is, if I took Spanish 1 in the Fall at a local community college or on-campus at my high school and then Spanish 2 in the Spring, would that work out when I apply for the UC schools later this year. </p>
<p>Final question, I was looking at the "Scholarship Requirement" for the UC schools and if I try to apply using that requirement, do I have to complete ALL of the subjects that they want or could I use the courses I did complete with my SAT scores? </p>
<p>Surely your school has a third year of, say, lab science or history that you can take to satisfy the “g” elective requirement with one additional “a-f” course?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because the “intent of the “e” requirement . . . is to ensure that freshmen have a minimal level of competence in a language other than English,” there are a number of ways to get around the course requirements. Like . . .</p>
<p>Can’t help you with the rest. I hope this helps though, and is correct. I have just discovered the a-g requirements, and have been trying to make sense of them since my sophomore recently decided that UCLA is the most amazing place on earth. :)</p>
<p>angrydad pretty much covered it. If you don’t meet the a-g requirements for minimum eligibility, you can become eligible for UC by testing alone, but you’ll need to average ~690 on all tests. (This is how many homeschoolers qualify for UC admission.)</p>
<p>Yes, if the juco course is igetci (transferable to UC), then it will most likely count for the VAPA requirement.</p>
<p>Yes, courses taken in senior year can fulfill the a-g requirements, as long as you pass them.</p>
<p>Yes, you can mix and match admissions criteria. For example, a strong subject test score in a foreign language means that you wouldn’t have to complete the course work for eligibility. (Of course, in our multi-cultural society, language is becoming more important, particularly to colleges…)</p>
<p>Yes, you can take a semester of a language at a juco and one year at your HS (Must be two years’s worth, so unless you are on a block schedule, one semester won’t cut it). But, our HS does not recommend that path bcos the language courses at our local juco don’t synchronize well with the HS curriculum. (UC doesn’t care, but just giving you a heads-up, bcos grades matter.)</p>
