<p>I know they ask for two semesters, and if anyone here has attended or attends a community college of the LA district, you are aware of Group A only being English 101 and Group B being English 102/103/Philosophy 5 as your two options. But my question is whether if we did two from Groub B for example English 102 and 103 would it still meet the requirement even though English 101 is the only one under Group A?</p>
<p>Are you talking about IGETC.</p>
<p>You USUALLY can not take the next English level without taking 101, it is a preq for 102/103/ phil in just about EVERY SINGLE CC IN CALIFORNIA</p>
<p>i think you need engl101 completed in order to take 102, 103, or philo5.. unless you took AP</p>
<p>Yeah, normally you need English 101 to take any other UC-transferable English course.</p>
<p>Well I asked because English 101 is way below my english level. I've transferred to a community college after attending a 4 year school for 2.5 years. my freshman english class there was called "critical thought and composition", which would be the NAME equivalent to English 103.</p>
<p>The obvious problem with it being the name equivalent is that it's higher than 101 and 102. I presented an unofficial transcript to be able to place into higher level english. I'm taking English 102, and its below the level of my four year school freshman english.</p>
<p>I'm just lost because I've spoken to two different counselors and none can confirm if whether my former english will count as a 103 or a 101.
That's why I ask if they'd accept me taking 102 and 103 instead of 101 and any of the other courses.</p>
<p>does anyone know?</p>
<p>If it's freshman English and if you are currently taking English 102, then it will most likely be counted as English 101. The title doesn't matter, it's usually the course-to-course comparison of the syllabuses for both classes that need to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This is probably why the counselors can't give you a straight answer.</p>
<p>That's my concern. What if there is not equivalent. Within my first semester of freshman english as my former four year school, papers were 8+ pages.
Whereas I doubt any English 101 102 or 103 class at a community college requires 8+ page papers.</p>
<p>My problem/question deals with them requiring that really basic level english 101 when it's obvious I'm capable of higher level stuff. </p>
<p>i see it like high school in the sense that assume you were attending a high school where you might have reached Calculus status and you transfer to another high school and you realize that the highest course they offer is a Pre Calc. Would the college you apply to as a freshman want to see 3-4 years of math even though your current high school offers courses lower than your level? It just seems like a waste of time youu know. Sorry if this is a bad example, considering my situation is for transferring.</p>
