<p>Is going to an online school for high school looked down on during college admissions?</p>
<p>not at all. it is actually unique and might help you (but not much)</p>
<p>thanks for such a fast reply :)</p>
<p>That depends. Is it accredited?</p>
<p>Colleges will probably look very closely at your test scores (SAT 1 and 2, APs, etc) to see how well you have mastered the high school curriculum.</p>
<p>i don't know if it's accredited, it's just offered by my school</p>
<p>I have never heard of this, but it sounds like home schooling. Colleges don't look down on home schooling, but they do have slightly different procedures/requirements for admissions. I would look into that for the colleges that you are interested in.</p>
<p>At my school, we have a very similar thing: it is called VHS (Virtual High School), and is offered to students when they want to take a class that they can't take for whatever reason. I am almost positive it is accredited, and the grades just go on your report card like a regular class. The only difference is that you take it online. If you are taking all of your classes online, I would say it would be a unique case and you would need to make sure to have high test scores and explanations about it, etc, but if you just take a couple classes on it and the rest in a classroom at your high school it isn't a big deal. It is just like going to take classes at a local community college--not a big deal, but pretty cool.</p>
<p>yeah, i think it's called VHS at my high school too and thanks for the replies</p>
<p>is it just one class like this? I think it will be looked upon as going above and beyond.</p>
<p>no it's all my classes</p>
<p>Yeah, It's fine, I mean people are home schooled right? Still, some schools might want extra Sat2's so you might want to check on that. Also, your sat/act and sat2s will count for more. Dont worry about it too much, colleges like to see us succeed from our backround and our...(dang whats the word im looking for?!?)-what we had offered to us.</p>
<p>circumstances?</p>
<p>just wondering....why are you taking all VHS classes? Are you studying courses beyond the level of the teachers in your school? Or were you just interested in taking online courses?</p>
