Answer 1

Even though those two classes that you took were in your 8th grade year, they would still count as credits you took in high school because they are high school credit courses.

Recommended High School Curriculum

We respect the responsibility that high schools, principals, and teachers should have in the development of courses and curricula for their students. For that reason, we do not have a set of required courses for admission to Stanford. We have found, though, that a curriculum emphasizing depth and breadth across the core academic subjects is the best preparation for the academic rigors at Stanford. Our experience has suggested that students who excel in a curriculum like the one below are well-suited for the demands of college academics:

English: four years, with significant emphasis on writing and literature.

Mathematics: four years, with significant emphasis on fundamental mathematical skills (algebra; trigonometry; plane, solid, and analytic geometry).

History/Social Studies: three or more years. Such courses should include the writing of essays.

Science: three or more years of laboratory science (including biology, chemistry and physics).

Foreign Language: three or more years of the same foreign language. Your study of a foreign language ought to include the development of four basic skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening comprehension.
