<p>My school sucks, okay. For example, the only math course we're required to take for graduation is Algebra I. I'm taking Geometry (which is huge for me since I'm not math-oriented at all), but I want to take two years of Spanish and I won't have time to do that if I take Algebra II, which they've just started offering this year. So when I apply to college I'll have Algebra I and Geometry on my transcript...plus Business Math, but that doesn't even count.</p>
<p>I'm not, although regardless, my school's selection still depresses me, but it sounds way better than yours.</p>
<p>Have you ever looked into online courses or correspondence courses? My state has a small online school, $50 per course unless it's AP then all you have to pay for is the AP test.</p>
<p>I would suggest taking at least Algebra II, if not pre-calc or calculus (which is what many college-bound students go up to)...if you don't you'll probably end up in remedial math in college. Unfortunately it's way more important that you take math than Spanish (aunque me amo español mucho más que las matemáticas). It's just a bad idea in general to apply to college having only taken geometry, which is what most students take their freshman or sophomore years.</p>
<p>musicallylatin - I could take a math course online, I suppose, but I'm not exactly math inclined. My school doesn't really encourage taking higher math classes.</p>
<p>southeasttitan - What's wrong with being in remedial math in college? Just wondering. My biggest concern is not getting into a good school with just Algebra I and Geometry, not what math course(s) I'll have to take when I get there.</p>
<p>yawn - Alabama. Yeah...we're everything the stereotypes make us out to be and more. :(</p>
<p>My guess is that you won't get into a goods school having only taken geometry, sadly enough. For one, your test scores will really suffer, since the SATs include Algebra II. You won't be able to get more than a 500. Also, like I said, it'll just look <em>really</em> bad to apply to a school three or four years of behind other students.</p>
<p>Colleges won't punish you for lack of options, but you have the option to advance in math, which, generally, is what they'd prefer over language. If you'd already completed a more advanced math and you really, really preferred Spanish, that's different. But you've only completed a math that plenty of people finish in ninth or tenth grade and I, not even being math-oriented, finished in eighth. They wouldn't penalize you if you didn't have other courses available, but you do, and most colleges would prefer (even insist) you take those.</p>
