<p>Im a freshman in high school and I am searching for an idea of which college to go to. But, the thing is, I don't know all the terms about college, the meanings or a lot of things in gerenral, so I have many questions (such as do I need to go to a specific college for an undergraduate program, or can I enter the college that I want to and stay there for the next 4-whatever years I plan to?) So any help will be much appreciated, thanks :)</p>
<p>That’s a broad question. What terms?</p>
<p>What do you mean by your one specific question.</p>
<p>Well, like grade deflation for example and how it works? And for my specifc question is that for colleges, are there certain courses that you need to go through to be able to enter that college? ANd I think I got my question mixed up with another one (sorry), my other one is: can you go for more than one major at a time?</p>
<p>With a few exceptions, college want to see four years of math, science (including at least one year of biology, chemistry and physics) and English and at least three years of social studies and a foreign language.
You can get two majors at some schools (though not all offer that as an option), also with most schools you can enter undecided.</p>
<p>“for colleges, are there certain courses that you need to go through to be able to enter that college?”</p>
<p>YES. Look this up on the college’s website, because it can be different for each school. A lot of times the requirements will be similar to your school’s graduation requirements.
And if you want to go into, say, an engineering school at a larger university, make sure you look at the website of that particular school, because their requirements could be a little different. </p>
<p>“can you go for more than one major at a time?”</p>
<p>Some colleges allow this. It’s called a double major. You can also do a minor along with a major, which requires fewer courses than a double major. If this is something you want to do, check with the colleges you want to go to, because some schools make it more difficult than others. </p>
<p>Grade deflation is basically an attempt to counter grade inflation. Grade inflation is when the grades are consistently better than the work. A lot of high schools and colleges have problems with it. Grade deflation would mean the grading is harder and it’s not as easy to get an A.</p>
<p>oh, ok then. Thank you both for the help, well i got some big questions off my list 
!</p>
<p>and do the majors/minor need to be related, or is that something that I would need to look at the specifc school for?</p>
<p>Not usually, although some schools won’t let you do certain double majors. That varies too.</p>
<p>No, if you double major or major/minor they do not need to relate. That being said it can sometimes be easier to earn the credits if they are related (there may be overlap in the credits you need).</p>
<p>Ok, and also ( this is going to sound so stupid but Im honestly just confused!) Im confused about undergraduate schools and graduate schools and all of that stuff! So what exactly is an undergraduate school and a graduate school and their difference?</p>
<p>An undergraduate school is where you get an associate’s/bachelor’s degree. Associate’s degrees are more common at community colleges.
A graduate school is where you get a Ph.D or master’s degree, after you already have a bachelor’s degree.
You can also go to a “professional school” to be a lawyer, medical doctor, dentist, veterinarian, etc.
A lot of universities have both. Some colleges will only have an undergrad school.
You don’t have to go to the same school for graduate school as you did for undergrad, but you can.</p>
