<p>For the foreign language section, I believe IGETC requires 2 years but three is recommended and that if you took foreign language in hs, you don't need it in college? At least that was what i was told by my friend. What if I took chinese in high school but passed with a B and C- in chinese 1 and chinese 2? Would those go onto my college transcript or am I supposed to take foreign language all over again? I want to distinguish any elment which will lessen my chances at transfering to UCLA or USC two years from now. Any response will be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>you want to "distinguish any element wich will lessen [your] chances at transferring to UCLA or USC?" why? you dont wanna go to these schools? BUt the answer to the question I think your'e asking is yes. Your foreign language requirement will be waived with atleast two years of a foreign language in hs. UC's consider C- as C they don't count the minus.</p>
<p>haha my bad... "I want to make sure im not at the disadvantage when it comes to transfer season when I'm a sophomore."</p>
<p>So you're saying that when UCLA looks at my transcript, they'll see that I got a C in foreign language and the C will also drag my cumulative GPA down? Should I retake these courses during the first two years at mt sac community college so that my GPA won't be affected?</p>
<p>no hs grades do not affect your college gpa however grades at other colleges you went to will. The only thing taken into account from hs is the credit. College is a clean slate man take advantage. So no do not retake these courses double check with a counselor but believe this is a fact.</p>
<p>thats all i needed to hear bro. thanks</p>
<p>i didn't take foreign language at all, but i told adcoms that i came from a foreign background.</p>
<p>whats adcoms??</p>
<p>i forgot to ask... during high school, I received a C- for Chinese 2.. IGETC says that UC's don't take C- so does that mean i have to take 1 year of foreign language at community college? Will the C- be part of the credit or no?</p>
<p>First off I thought that anything above a D is alright? Also if you do indeed need to take a foreign language at a CC, you'll only have to do a single semester of it...</p>
<p>The UC's will never know that you received a C- unless you tell them. Just tell your community college that you took a foreign language in HS, show them your proof, and that's that. UCLA <em>will not</em> ask for your HS transcript if yoou're transfering as a Junior, completed IGETC, etc.</p>
