A-G Requirement - 3 years of math?

Applying to College
1

<p>My freshman year I tested into Geometry so I was able to bypass Algebra 1 that most 9th graders had to retake. In 8th grade I was in Honors Algebra but I chose to take regular geometry.. Second semester of Pre-Calc my junior year I received a D. For my senior year I transfered to a charter school and they don't offer calculous here so I only took three years of math in High school... </p>

<p>I am enrolled in an online pre-calc class to cover my D but I wanted to know if my eighth grade math covered one of my three years of math?</p>

<p>If it doesn't, does that disqualify me for colleges?</p>

<p>I qualify for everything else in the A-G requirements, I took four AP tests and passed them all, and got a good score on the SAT and two SAT subjects test and that is my only D.. </p>

<p>I really don't want my one 69% to ruin my college choices. Should I just ask my teacher to change my grade?</p>

<p>Completion of geometry and algebra II with C or higher grades counts as three years because algebra II validates algebra I. Completion of trigonometry or precalculus with C or higher grades validates the entire math requirement, but getting a D does not count (you may want to ask if a C or higher in just the first semester counts for validation; also ask if any math SAT subject test scores can validate).</p>

<p>UC/Cal State require the completion of math through Alg II. If you took Alg II and passed it with a C or better (your post is unclear), you have three years of math credit for UC/Cal State. (Yes, Alg I in middle school will count.)</p>

<p>And yes, the D looks bad.</p>

<p>Only if “validated” by completion of a higher level high school course like algebra II. They won’t actually see any middle school courses; they just assume that if you passed algebra II, you know your algebra I stuff. The same applies for foreign language level N validating levels 1 through N-1.</p>

<p>The last time I checked, the UC app instructions clearly said to list all a-g courses taken, even if prior to HS:</p>
