Not Enough HS Credit to tranfer?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Once again..another question. In HS I had to change schools in March of my senior year. My school was on traditional schedule, so I just got half credits for all 7 of my classes. No other school where I moved could take me because they were all on semester schedules...so I had to finally make an agreement with one private school to just let me take English (the only credit I needed to graduate) and just give me my diploma. Now I only have 25 credits total in HS (half credits for all senior year classes except English).</p>

<p>3.5 Math Credits
4 English Credits
2 Foreign Language
2.5 Social Studies
Electives.</p>

<p>Can I even apply for transfer? If so, I mean...will they even accept me? I don't know what to do..is it possible I'm inelligible to transfer anywhere? What do people do in this situation?</p>

<p>If you have a hs diploma, I would think that implies that you have "enough" credits. What I'm confused about is missing science courses - you have none?
If you went to hs for, effectively, 3 1/2 years + 1 English course, I would think you would only be missing the "half" credit in each discipline - as with your Math, above.</p>

<p>why the hack is US High School System is so abstruse...i mean... they throw a bunch of different ways to graduate....</p>

<p>In fact .... the standard of the US High School education is ranked the lowest amongst the first world economies....</p>

<p>In my opinion... it will be better for US to adopt the British GCE "O" Level Examination format...</p>

<p>Oh, sorry I forgot to put science. I have 4.5 science courses:</p>

<p>Physical Science
Biology
Chemistry
Biology 2 (Half Credit)
Anatomy (Half Credit)
Physics (Half Credit)</p>

<p>^ Yes I was taking 3 science courses at once senior year. And I had A's in all 3 (I have As in all 6 science courses, I knew I wanted to be a science major in college, and science comes easily to me.)</p>

<p>You're good to go at most schools. It's the language part that might hurt. Just write a letter to the adcom explaining the situation.</p>

<p>I thought most schools only required 2 foreign language credits..</p>

<p>Many schools require or recommend 3-4 years of hs foreign language, and prefer it to be the same language. But this particular requirement is one that I think is on the "soft" side; ie, they will overlook it if everything else appeals. May depend on your intended major as well.</p>
