A-G HS classes

<p>I am slightly confused with UCSD's A-G course Requirements. Do all my high school courses that I have taken need to be approved? I have asked around in my guidance department, but no one has heard much about these requirements/approval process - which is strange considering the fact that students from my high school have gone to UCLA, UC Berkley, and UCSD (recently).</p>

<p>no, there are plenty of classes that don’t fall under those requirements, and there’s no problem with taking them. (i took yearbook for a few years, which didn’t count.) but if you’re short on the classes that ARE needed to attend UCSD, then you have a problem on your hands.</p>

<p>also, i’m rather concerned your HS guidance counselors have no idea what they are. are they new in their positions???</p>

<p>Are you from another state - not from California? This could be why your counselors do not know about these requirements. Go to: [University</a> of California - Counselors](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/freshman/advising/admission_reqs.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/freshman/advising/admission_reqs.html)
for information on non-resident admissions requirements.</p>

<p>well, my guidance counselor/department are very good, but it is located on the other side of the nation, so i mean that’s probably on of the reasons.</p>

<p>but for example, lets say i take AP Chemistry/physics/biology and then a variety of math courses, etc…how do i get them approved? any ideas?</p>

<p>but my gut feeling is that if your class was thorough enough to net you a passing grade on the AP exam, you won’t have to worry too much.</p>
