UC Application: Course Work other than A-G

Applying to College

<p>Note:This is also posted in the colleges section</p>

<p>In the activities and Awards section; there is a bullet for Course Work other than A-G.
Could one use the courses taken beyond the minimum required A-G classes to fill out this section?
As an example, my son has taken five electives, and for UC's he only needs one elective.
However, all these fives electives are already listed in the High School Courses & Grades section.</p>

<p>Here are the options that my son has for the aforementioned section.</p>

<p>Option1: Additional Course work other than A-G
i. Computer class at a community college
ii-v Other educational programs (boy scout, city and through his clubs)</p>

<p>Option 2:Additional Course work other than A-G
I. Computer class taken at a community college
ii-v. Additional a-g classes he has taken at his high school beyond the minimum required; these are additional computer related classes that he had taken (his intended major in college is computer science).</p>

<p>My D thinks, Option 2 can not be used because ii-v are already included in the high school course & grades section. Is she correct? I think option 2 is Ok 2 use.</p>

<p>Please help.
Thanks</p>

<p>Really, if they’re already listed, WHY would you want to list them again???</p>

<p>You have the choice of listing things that aren’t mentioned anywhere . . . and listing things you’ve already included elsewhere. To me, the choice seems obvious. Am I missing something?</p>

<p>Yes, but why would you? Why waste the time of the app reader and let them know at the same time that you can’t read and follow instructions?</p>

<p>The original list of a-g courses does not just ask for the "minimum’ does it? </p>

<p>The directions for the "Other’ section, clearly state ‘other than a-g’ do they not?</p>

<p>If a computer courses are UC transferable, they definitely goes under a-g, not “Other”. </p>

<p>btw: Boy Scouts are an EC, but not an ‘educational program’ for the purposes of this section, which is focused mostly on organized coursework. For example, several UCs host non-credit science camps for high schoolers. These go in the Other section.</p>

<p>Thank you.
He has not taken any of those UC’s non-credit classes</p>

<p>Oh Dear. …He would have two empty blocks… NO work experience and NO Additional Educational Programs</p>
