UC Application- where to put Geometry taken in 6th Grade

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - GENERAL

In 7th and 8th grade I took Algebra II and Pre-Calculus respectively in my school district. I reported those math courses on my UC application for 7th and 8th grade but I don’t know where to list geometry which I took in 6th grade at my middle school. I know it is a strict requirement. Any advice on where on the application I can list it? Thanks in advance.

@Serendipity2021: You can contact the UC application center but I am sure they will say to list both Geometry and Algebra II courses under 7th grade.

Serendipity, I am in your exact situation. Only, I tested out of Geometry the summer after 6th grade. Please let me know what you have found out.

@applicant2324: The UC’s will not accept that you have tested out of the Geometry course. You will need to find a Geometry course that meets the UC requirement prior to graduation if you plan to apply and attend.

From the UC Website:

NOTE: All students must complete a geometry course or integrated math with geometry content; no standardized examination will satisfy the geometry requirement.

NOTE: All students must complete a geometry course or integrated math with geometry content; one transferable college course will not satisfy the full three-year math requirement.

I am currently taking MATH 465 - Introduction to Combinatorics at the University of Michigan. This includes instruction on graph theory. Do you think this will count? If you don’t know, how can I find out?

@applicant2324: I would email UC admissions and ask. Be prepared to include a syllabus and course description.

You can ask, but a proof-based course on enumerative combinatorics and graph theory is very unlikely to be considered Geometry.
