<p>I KNOW THIS IS LONG but please please help me, it will be GREATLY appreciated.
I also posted the question at the bottom in case you want to go right to that.</p>
<p>So first I will give you some background information on my high school education thus far:</p>
<p>So I live in Minnesota and my high school has been rated the best public high school in my entire state.
I am going to be a junior this year.
My grades from the last two years were..
(The first letter grade before the slash is the first semester and then the second letter grade is the second semester.)</p>
<p>9th:
Math (Algebra): C/D
Science (Environmental Foundations): B/B
Social Studies (Honors Geography): B/B-
English (Honors): B+/B-
Language (Spanish 1): C/D</p>
<p>10th:
Math (Geometry): D-/D+
Science (Biology): B-/B-
Social Studies (World History): C/A-
English (Honors): B/B
Language (Spanish 1): F/D+</p>
<p>Junior year the only advance classes I plan on taking are:
IB Psychology
AP English
Honors Chemistry </p>
<p>QUESTION:
Now as you can see from my 9th and 10th grade year I retook spanish 1 because I felt like I wasn't ready to go on to spanish 2. I get credits for both of those classes. (except in the semester I failed on spanish 1) And I will not take any language in high school again because it is just to difficult for me.</p>
<p>In almost every college in my state you have to have two years of a language.
But since I didn't take two years (which means two levels so like spanish 1 and then spanish 2) it only counts as one year.</p>
<p>Can I still get into a college that requires that I take two years? or is it impossible at this point?
How can I get into a college that requires that I take two years?</p>
<p>^ Doubtful about the LD since math is basically the same. </p>
<p>OP, there are many universities which will not have language requirements. You’ll have to check with them about that. CCs are certainly a good option (and less expensive to start your college education).</p>
<p>Actually, Erin’s Dad, LD is the first thing that came to mind when I saw her poor grades in both math and foreign lang. My H is dyslexic; after failing French 1 three times beginning in JHS, he was switched to Spanish. After the first oral exam, the teacher told my mother-in-law that his French accent was actually Spanish and suggested he not take any more language classes. He was equally poor in math. One of my sons is dyslexic. He only passed Spanish in middle school because he was taking it at a private LD school. Back in district now for HS, he is foreign language exempt. He does okay in math but only because he is given a scribe who writes down all of his answers for him on tests; otherwise, his columns and rows are not even and he reverses numbers.</p>
<p>My D was ok at lang but poor at math; that’s just her ability level. My current rising senior son excels at math but failed FL because he refused to do the work - again, no LD.</p>
<p>For this poster, unless she is slacking off, she may have an LD. She could be evaluated at this point or she could deal with it in an essay. Then, once she’s in college, she can do what I had my D do. She took both her lang and math requirements at a local community college which transferred the credits as long as she got a C but did not add them to her GPA. My current rising senior plans to do the same thing for FL and English.</p>
Good luck!</p>
