<p>Hi,
Do colleges like to see that an individual took CC classes? If so, what classes would be good to take, and could anyone recommend a good CC in San Diego, California area. Also, I go to a school that is exclusively I.B., could anyone recommend some I.B. classes that I should take for senior year? </p>
<pre><code> P.S.
Currently I am a junior in high school, and go to Guajome Park Academy Charter
<p>I don’t know where Guajome Park Academy is but you may even be ready to start taking CCC classes by next year if at least at (elementary) english writing (pre comp) and elementary algebra. They’d like if you had English Comp and Intermediate Algebra but almost would rather you take them at their college since need the money and meets better state standards. The first two years are just US government standardized classes everyone has to take. If you are near downtown you want to go to SDCC.
To answer your other question…yes CSU’s and UC’s would rather many students take CC classes to better evaluate you. You can start out taking some individual classes but they will expect you to follow a matriculated plan eventually. If you know your major or interests i could recommend some classes for you if want.</p>
<p>If you are in an IB program can’t see why you would need to take classes at a CC. IB is considered a sufficiently rigorous program. I can only think if you have exausted all the offerings at your school in math say, and want to take a higher lever course at a cc. </p>
<p>Talk to your GC about what classes to take Sr year. We can’t suggest if we don’t know what you have so far. You should know what competitive colleges look for. People suggest you look at the UC requirements as they are the most rigorous, so if you meet UC requirements you will meet any school. Most will look for 4 yrs Eng, 4 math, 4 flang, 4 sci, 2-1/2 hist, 1 arts.</p>
<p>Agree with BP, it’s likely irrelevant because you attend an IB school. But if your GC feels that you’ve exhausted the challenges at your school, you still have to make sure that the CC classes are sufficiently advanced.</p>
<p>Reply to BrownParent, kmazza, and vossron. First i would like to say thanks for the replies. Secondly, I came late to school so I am in the college prep. classes My counselor said that I should enroll in CC classes and any that I wish to take would be readily paid for while I’m still in high school. And IB classes are like AP on steroids!!! No just kidding, but IB is a little harder than AP in some cases because you have to do, 200 community service hours, do a year long project that is a very big deal, and you have to take specific classes such as IB Theory of Knowledge, and something else. Your classes are basically planned out for you and most of them run 2 years. (you have to make up the previous years projects if you even want a chance I think only 300 some odd schools participate in the IB program in North America.</p>
<p>Here’s another question, are there any prestigious CCs around? Can you guys look at Palomar CC and tell me if it looks like a good place to go, if so, what classes should I take. I just want to take advanced classes, that look good on college apps. Also, could anyone inform me of the system of college application? I know nothing about getting into college D=</p>
