<p>I can't take any courses I want to take due to graduation requirements.
And guess what? I'm going to be a junior. Please read thoroughly if you wish to help...</p>
<p>Hello. I'm an international student who moved in last January as a sophomore. I technically skipped a sememster instead of being a freshman.(finished 9th grade in my country, and skipped 1st sem of my sophomore year) The reason why I did that was because I really believed that I was going to go to a university in my country. Since our family thought it was a waste of money and time (we're not rich...), my family wished for me to graduate ASAP. I argued with the director of guidence counseler, and we got in to conclusion of 2 1/2 years.
Now, at the end of my sophomore year, I hear that I need to take the first semester of my every classes to recieve a full credit for every courses.(my 3yrs of middleschool counted as the credit for freshman year, but the 1st half of my soph...)
BUT, it's my junior year next year. Even if I only take them for the 1st semester, I can't take any of the courses I desparately wished to take becuase of all the graduation requirements.
(Please, no optimastic view of 'oh take it senior year!')
Also, my GPA would vary greatly. Even if I get all A+s, the farthest I'd get would be an A- range for honors/ap classes.
So, I've come up with 4 options. Even if they are theoretical...</p>
<p>A) Repeat sophomore year. (Audit full 2nd sem of soph)
I don't know if this would happen. It all depends on the director.
But this is what I wish the best... eversince we made the decision of skipping a grade...
But I don't wish to repeat the exact same courses. I wish to take higher courses what I already qualify for next year. The matter of taking higher courses all depend on departments of each of the subjects, not the counselers.(of course, not language and history which has specific subjects for each of the grades)</p>
<p>B) Do the 1st sem thing in 2nd sem of my senior year.
This would be great. It wouldn't go to my transcripts. But the schedule could not work out late in my senior year. Then I wouldn't be able to graduate. But... what if, like for instance I take accounting for 1sem and business for 2nd sem if the schedule doesn't work out? doesn't the requirements vaguely mention '1yr of practical arts'? wouldn't that somehow workout in my senior year?</p>
<p>C) Find a summer course/online course/anything.
Wish... wish.. anything...</p>
<p>D)You suck. Just take whatever just for the graduation.
damn....</p>
<p>Help a desparate sophomore. Or a freshman...?? I hope...
Thank you, once again, and may none of you make short-sighted choices as I made....
p.s.
I'm posting this again</p>
