Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>On CollegeBoard when you look through the stats/information of 'prestigious' universities, most require or 'recommend' 4 years of everything. Does this mean 4 subjects, or actual years?</p>

<p>For example, if someone took Alg II as a 9th grader, online Pre Calc in 10th grade (no math course at school, but went into GPA and onto transcript for HS credit), BC Calc as a junior and Stats as a senior would that be considered 3 years or 4 years of math?</p>

<p>Another situation: if someone took Honors Bio as a Frosh, doubled up on AP Bio and Honors Physics as a sophomore, AP Chem as a Junior, and no science course as a senior, would AP Bio and Physics be considered as separate 'years' or science?</p>

<p>For the first one: if all four are on your transcript, that’s four separate years.</p>

<p>For the second one: yes, they’d be considered separate.</p>

<p>Are you 100% positive? I am not doubting you or anything (you probably know more than me lol)</p>

<p>For math, I did 9th, 10th, 11th, 11th, and none for 12th and I was fine. For science, I did 9th, 10th, 10th, 12th, 12th, 12th.</p>

<p>Based on what you described, I’m very sure…</p>

<p>I’d like to know this as well, bump!!!</p>

<p>Well, I have 6-7 “years” math I guess.
Summer of 9th: Algebra
9th: Geometry
10th: Algebra 2 (If AP Comp Sci counts, it goes here)
Summer of 11th: Trigonometry
11th: Pre Calculus
Summer of 12th: College Calculus and Advanced Computer Architecture and Assembly (at a local CC for the hell of taking it, probably no credit)
12th: AP Calculus</p>
