Advanced Diploma or Standard? What do I need to get into a 4-year uni?

Question

I've been going towards an advanced diploma every year in high-school, except this one (senior). I really don't think I'll do very well (or even pass) in Chemistry/Algebra II, so I am not going to take the classes to maintain an OK g.p.a. Will this effect my acceptance into an university? I've taken all of the required classes besides those two.

Answer 1

depends on the college. To get into a good college you need to have 6 credits in math and science. So um, you should be fine with science (Earth Science, Physical Science, Biology) -IF you took those. For math it is usually Algebra 1, Geometry, AND Algebra 2. I would talk to your counsler. You could also take a class over the summer. I have heard they are easier, and you can focus your attention on one subject. Good luck!! =)

Answer 2

That's definitely up to the university.  I would think that the Academic or Advanced diploma would look better on your transcript.  BUT!  A Regular or Standard might be okay IF you have a good ACT/SAT score and a good GPA.
