Math Credits

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi! I'm new to this forum, as you can probably tell, and I have a question:</p>

<p>I'm currently in both Geometry Honors and Algebra 2 honors. I came into Algebra 2 honors halfway through the semester though so the school will only count it as a half-credit for Algebra 2. The reason I switched in during the middle of the year was because it was the only way I could meet my school requirements to take AP Calculus by Senior year.</p>

<p>My school said that they would explain to all the colleges I apply to why I only have 0.5 Algebra 2 credits instead of a full one and also said that the schools would understand and wouldn't discredit me for being "ambitious" in doing this.</p>

<p>Therefore my question is, would it be better to skip my lunch period next year and take the first semester of Algebra 2 Honors to get a full credit or will I be fine without it without harming my chances at a top 20 school?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>If you need clarification just ask, I'm horrible at organizing this stuff.</p>

<p>Provided you complete AP Calculus, I truly doubt that there would be a college or university in the country that would care at all about Algebra 2. Trust your counselors on this, and don’t look back.</p>

<p>Ditto happymom. It would be a waste of your time to go back and take Algebra 1 first semester - you don’t need it.</p>
