CHSPE (California High School Proficiency Exam)

Applying to College
1

<p>I want to take the CHSPE. This would give me a HS equivalency. I want to go to a CC when I would be a Jr. in HS. Then I want to transfer to a university. My question is, do I need to complete the four years of English, three years of math, etc., required by many universities, or does that become irrelevant after having attained my AA?</p>

<p>no................</p>

<p>What do you mean "no. . ."?</p>

<p>You should definitely talk to your college counselor about your plans. I'm from Cali, and I knew a couple of people who passed the exam and then went to community college early. However, I don't know if they were planning on attending a four-year university afterwards or not. Honestly though, if you are a good student and want to attend a top-rated university, I recommend you stick high school out and then go straight to a university.</p>

<p>I am a good student and am taking advanced courses, but I think going to a CC and then transferring to a CSU or UC would be a good plan. After that, I could apply to a grad. school and not be so indebted. My question is whether or not it'd be necessary to complete the courses many universities require for freshman applicants, or would it be irrelevat after having completed the 60 credits they require?</p>

<p>bump. </p>

<p>help me please!</p>

7

<p>Good luck with that.</p>

8

<p>I know sarcasm can't really be "detected" over the internet, but I'm presuming that remark WAS sarcastic. What do you mean "good look with that"? What's the flaw; you have not stated one?</p>

9

<p>are you antisocial?</p>

10

<p>Not at all.</p>

<p>Does anyone have a legitimate answer to my inquiry?</p>

<p>then I would strongly recommend that you stay in high school--junior and senior years are the best. really.</p>

<p>To answer your question:
Once you are out of high school and enrolled at a college (for at least a year), you will be considered as a transfer student. At that point you'll have to satisfy the guidelines each institution has for transfer stuents. For UCs and most other universities, an associate degree means nothing in the process of admission; you just need to have the courses they require you to take. Going from a CC to a UC is a lot easier than going from HS to UC (the only exception I can think of right now is haas.) However, if you want to go to one of the ivies, it would be better to apply from HS as a freshman. Btw, you want to be sure that you will be old enough to take the CHSPE (I believe you have to be at least 16).</p>

<p>This will be a big decision in your life, so make sure you know what you're doing. glhf :D</p>

<p>thanks a lot!</p>

<p>I got a response from the university(ies) I plan to transfer to after CC and they said they only care about the grades your received in CC. </p>

<p>You can take the CHSPE your second semester of sophomore year or when you're sixteen or older and have completed sophomore year.</p>

<p>You must complete two years of the juco classes (60 semester units or 90 quarter units) for UC to consider you as a transfer. You cannot apply after one year.</p>

<p>I know that 2006 was a long time ago, but maybe you will get anyway. I am considering leaving high school after my sophomore year and attending CC and maybe doing some other things, then doing a upper division transfer to a UC. Can you tell me if you did this, and let me know how it went? Would you advise one way or the other?</p>

<p>Hopeful for a reply… Thanks.</p>
