<p>I should be a senior in high school. Since I never liked high school, I am taking 4 classes at my local community college, and they will count for both high school and college credits.
I didn't do too well in high school. I'm working on getting A's in my college classes. If I don't get A's, then hopefully I'll get B's.
The fall semester ends on december 14. The final grades are due on december 21. I plan on going to a university next year.
I can apply to college's after december, right? Like in january? I really need these college grades and transcript to send to the univesities I'm applying to.
And how long after you apply to the college's do you get your appectance or rejection letter? Because the deadline to apply to one of the college's I'm applying to is december 1, and I still want to send in my college transcript.</p>
<p>By when you must apply depends on college. Many have a Jan 1 or some other date in early Jan by which you must apply to be considered; some have earlier cut-off application dates, for example the UCs are Nov 30. </p>
<p>But last date to apply is not your issue. You can and should send an application earlier in your situation because the earlier you get it done the less chance you have of blowing a deadline date. And what do I mean by blowing a deadline date? Far too many start the application December 31 and then when they get to the end of the on-line application they discover that for the particular college they have to get in by early Jan in addition to the application: (a) an offical SAT or ACT test score; (b) recommendation letters; (c) some counselor’s statement; (d) an official high school transcript (d) something else they didn’t think about. So they are sitting on Dec 31 with an early Jan deadline and their school is closed, teachers who could provide recommendations have left the state on vacation, and absolutely everything that they have to absolutely get in by early Jan cannot possibly be requested or ordered in time; net result they are rejected by the college for failing to meet the deadline. </p>
<p>The real issue you face is whether the school will consider your first semester grades and that does not depend on date you send the application but on the particular school’s admission policies. You say the college grades are also being used as high school grades so they can be sent to colleges BUT:</p>
<p>(1) Many colleges, and in fact vast majority of public universities, base admission on grades through junior year and do not consider first semester senior year grades. Thus, for all such colleges your out of luck regardless of when you actually send the application.</p>
<p>(2) many have rolling admissions – they make decisions as applications are received beginning as early as September – and may or may not accept first semester grades for consideration, but even if they do you face a probability of being rejected simply because by the time they get around to reviewing your file they will have admitted enough people to fill all seats.</p>
<p>(3) where your first semester grades will count is for those colleges that make admission decisions in March to April and require submission of first semester grades. There are a large number of those and those grades will be considered at those (even if you apply before the Jan deadline)</p>
<p>No, I meant that when your a senior in high school, an english class and gym are required. So I’m taking an english class and yoga in college. These 2 classes won’t just count for high school. They’ll count for college too.</p>
<p>Do not assume those classes will be given college credit. Most colleges do not award college transfer credit to classes you take at a community college which you use to complete high school requirements. Also, yoga is unlikely to even be considered for admission. Though Phys Ed may be a high school requirement, almost all colleges ignore grades in phys ed classes for the purpose of deciding admission.</p>
<p>Actually dude, I have talked to my high school guidance counselor about this, and administrators at the community college. The english class WILL count, because it’s comp 110(which is English Composition I, which most college students take their freshmen year). And some colleges do require you to take a semester of gym. I will have 9 transferrable credits by december(not including the yoga class), which is a lot of credits for a 17 year old. So please, don’t assume that the classes I’m taking aren’t gonna count as credits for when I apply to a university. You don’t go to my community college, and you didn’t go to my high school. So you really can’t say that none of these classes will transfer over. I’m not trying to be mean or jump down your throat.</p>
<p>
The only people who can determine that are the registrars at the potential destination colleges. You can find out that information by reviewing the websites of colleges in which you are interested. The answer will vary a bit, but generally speaking, any college classes for which you earned high school credit will NOT be counted for college credit at any college other than the one at which you took it. That’s the way it is and you have been misinformed and hold a very fundamental misunderstanding. I hope you will get informed because you are on the path to being very disappointed. Unless, of course, your post was unclear and your CC classes stand alone and aren’t part of your high school transcript.</p>
<p>Here’s an example from Bryn Mawr, but it’s pretty standard:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Most state universities will/have to accept some/all of the credits, but almost all privates will reject them if you’re counting them towards your high school diploma.</p>
<p>And don’t jump down my throat, because by the end of next semester I’ll have 60 transferable credits from a 4 year university (not community college) as a 17 year old.</p>
<p>The majority of university applications are due Jan. 1st, although there are some after. I would suggest not waiting for you grades to come back to do your application: you can fill out the common app/recs/essays/anything else, and turn it in BEFORE the grades. They will understand that the grades aren’t in yet. Also, there’s also the option of turning them all in at the same time, you just have to work on the other aspects of your application ahead of time and save them.</p>
<p>
Not necessarily. With the exception of the school (or system) at which the course is taken, almost no public or private schools will take those classes. Each college really does handle the matter differently, and there’s no solution but to contact each college to which an application will be sent.</p>
<p>I’m saying in a state that pays for PSEO/Post secondary classes, such as Minnesota or Florida, their public universities typically have an agreement to accept the credits</p>
<p>That was assuming he’s not paying for these credits himself</p>
<p>I’m took 2 english course. Comp 107 and Comp 110, which is Emglish Compostion I. I have looked on the college’s websites and most of the college’s count Comp 110 as a transferable credit. You don’t believe me, then take a look:
From Pennsylvania College of Technology:
[url=<a href=“404 | Pennsylvania College of Technology”>404 | Pennsylvania College of Technology]Applied</a> Human Services Bachelor of Science Degree (B.S.) - Pennsylvania College of Technology<a href=“look%20near%20the%20bottom%20of%20the%20page,%20on%20the%20first%20semester%20courses”>/url</a>
You are REQUIRED to take English Composition I in college. And it WILL count as a transferable credit. Your bascially saying that I have to take the same class twice.
And this is from Albright College:
General Studies Requirements:</p>
<p>Each student must successfully complete the general studies courses and programs listed below. Independent studies and internships may not be used to fulfill general studies requirements.
General Studies Requirements</p>
<p>English Composition (1-2 courses)
Competency in written English is a basic goal of general studies requirements. Two semesters of English composition are offered. Students whose test scores and writing background indicate a need for both composition courses will begin with Composition (ENG 101); students who can demonstrate competence as determined by test scores and past performance will schedule only Writing about Literature (ENG 102).</p>
<p>If you still think that after this post my credits won’t transfer, especially the english course, then I really don’t know what to say.</p>
<p>And if you aren’t in my postition, which is obvious that your not, then just don’t talk. My psychology, sociology, and comp 110 class WILL tranfer. Like I said, I was told by my high school guidance counselor and my community college advisor. And if none of you are a high school guidance counselor or college advisor, you have no say to write, ‘oh but they won’t transfer over.’</p>
<p>Word of advice: If you want help from this forum, don’t be confrontational. Stubbornness won’t get you anywhere.</p>
<p>I AM in your position, and I CAN talk. Wow, you found two schools that will take the credits. Congrats. From your previous posts, I see from your stats that you probably aren’t even looking at… um… other schools. So congratulations. But if you WERE trying to get into a higher tiered school, you’d be hard pressed to find one that would transfer.</p>
<p>Matok, I’m not looking at other schools? Really? Huh. I’m looking at 5. What, that’s not enough for you or something?</p>
<p>lol @ mad e-beef. </p>
<p>but idk, since you want your 1st semester grades of senior year to be considered it’s obviously that you must apply after you receive them. If that’s after the deadline for the schools you’re looking at then you might be s.o.l. ; If it’s before the deadline, then just get it in maaane. </p>
<p>As someone said before, some schools will have deadlines in nov-dec (i assume most people apply before that ?) so i guess those schools are out for you. I’m currently a senior now, and i’m applying to many of my schools late octoberrrr.</p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>cheshire cat, calm the **** down.</p>
<p>Cheshire – Are you wanting to enter a 4 year college as a freshman with transferrable credits, or do you want to enter as sophomore transfer? In my state, if a student achieves a certain GPA in the required cc courses, a transfer to a public university is guaranteed for junior year. Each cc here has an office with staff whose job is to help students with the transfer process. If your cc has such an office, even if you’re wanting to enter a four year college as a freshman, that’s the place your should go to get your questions answered. But just to be sure, check out each of the 4 year colleges you’re considering and see what they say about admissions/transfer online. If your questions aren’t answered, call them up.</p>

<p>When I said other schools, I alluded to more prestigious schools that people have heard of</p>
