<p>Also, I have a question regarding math classes. I think I've read somewhere that I said UCs recommed you taking 3-4 years of math (including Alg 1, Geometry, and Alg 2). What if you never took Geometry and went right into Alg 2? Do you still need to take the course or what? Also, when it says 3-4 years of math recommended, does it mean you need to take 1 math class every year or can you take 2 math classes in the same year and count it as the 2 years??</p>
<p>For example, would this meet the 4 year math recommendation?:
9th Alg 2
10th Pre-Calc
11th: AP Calc + AP Statistics (Does AP stats count as a year of math?)
12th: None.</p>
<p>im doing the same thing... but took geo at the high school in 8th grade... I dont know if that counts though, cause I didn't get any credits for it. I Think im just going to take Calc next (junior ) year and Stat senior year... But 4 years of math probably means 4 math classes. So your probably fine.... maybe even better than fine, seeing as you took stat and calc the same year.... and on a side note? How much work is stat? I heard it was way easier than calc.</p>
<p>I never took Geometry though.. I just thought it was going to be too easy so I skipped it and went to Alg 2. Is geometry required?? And no, I didn't take geo in middle school.</p>
<p>I don't think it would be a problem. If it's bothering you I'd email an admissions rep from different schools you're interested in and ask. Beats finding out later you didn't meet the requirements.</p>
<p>You skipped Geometry!!! That's the worst thing you could have done. Colleges look for consistency between middle school and high school, a bridging of the gap that will indicate you are academically adjusting. How will you explain you just "skipped" Geometry? They are going to assume that your school is run by a bunch of hippies that lets students just slide by state requirements. Or worse, they will think that might have deliberately deceived the school to take on a higher course. </p>
<p>I'm just kidding. You'll be fine. I don't know why so many people stress their butts out over the fine print. It's not like you don't meet requirements anyhow. I'm sorry about the rant, in our district the counselors wouldn't bump you up even if you had a gun to their heads, even when you've shown capability through a string of gruesome tests and a letter from your Geometry teacher proclaiming that you are the next Fields medal winner.</p>
