I'm a sophmore in high school, and I am starting to think about colleges. The UC (university of california), CSU system only counts your sophmore, junior year gpas. My gpa is good now (in the second semester of my sophmore year) but my first semester I REALLY messed up. If I retake the classes that I didnt do good in, and get A's for the rest of my 10, and 11th grade years. And end up with about a 3.6, what UC schools can I get into ?
High School?
All schools look at all 4 years of HS as well as a myriad of other things, not the least of which is service (in your communtiy, church, etc).. Well rounded individuals with drive are what colleges are looking for. If you show stability in grades or a progression of getting better, don't sweat it!
Reply:not sure if retaking classes would be a smart choice since your counselor may not let you...you do have to get out of high school in four years. i suggest that you suck it up and do better now. 11th grade is what colleges usually look at most (a little of 10th)! remember, GPA, SAT/ACT scores/community services/other involvements: clubs, sports, music, etc. also counts. don't just concentrate on GPA.
Reply:I *think* you are gauranteed entry to a UC if you fulfill the requirements, but I got myself out of California as soon as I graduated and didn't even consider staying in state. As for liberal arts schools (Iknow, I know, not what you're looking at right now) they look at the whole package and you have more of a chance to explain your gpa through your interview and personal statement. You'll certainly get more consideration and sympathy from a smaller liberal arts college.

High school?
on a high school transcript that you send to a college does it show only the average of the grades that you got in the class or every grade for each quater of the class
High school?
It will show your GPA. And it will show each class you took and the grade you got in it each semester. Ask your HS counselor for any info on your transcripts.
Reply:You'll need to get an official copy of your high school transcript if you want to send it to a college, unless it isn't required (it usually is). The official copy will be signed or stamped by your high school registrar. It'll contain every class you've taken in high school, along with the grade and GPA for each semester. Hope this helps :)

High School?
I wanted to get a job straight out of high school doing stuff in CAD (Computer Aided Desgin) which i might receive thanks to my friend's mom's boyfriend. Now my friends brother got it because he took the 4 Drafting classes in the school but they trained him because nothing he learned in the classes was what they used there. If i wanted to get the job would they look at my failed classes and turn me down. I have failed about 6 of classes i thought were stupid during 9th grade and half of 10th but in 11th i have done alot better passing all myclasses with Bs and As. But if I still graduate on time because i went to a different school where i get more credits per semester would they look at that? If not could i maybe go to a community college and take some classes in CAD to increase my chances to get the job or a similair job?
High School?
That is a great idea! I recommend community college as they will teach you the most recent technology information available and that will make you more competitive in the job market.
Be sure to meet with an academic advisor in Student Services at the college of your choice. They can help you plan your program of studies, and their services are free of charge. They are very helpful.
Do your best, keep your grades up, and good luck.
Reply:If you go to the community college and take the CAD classes, you definately have a better chance of getting a job. Not only will it destract from your highschool record and show that you are responsible now when you weren't then, but we live in the age of information. People with college degrees always get chosen over people without a higher education. It'll workout in the long run too, because you can get even better jobs with a college diploma.
Reply:congrats on pulling your grades up, i know how hard it is. your old school would transfer your transcript to your new school. you probably would have to look into community colleges because you didnt make up those failed classes, which you could still make up during the summer at summer school or take community college classes over the summer. if your sure you want to do CAD then take the classes, it will increase your chances on getting the job or somthing similar, but i would also recommend getting an internship in that field. good luck!

High school??
So I'm going to start high school in a few months, and I'm really scared. Is it as bad as everyone says it is? Is it a lot worse than junior high? How many credits do I need (or should have) for grade 10? I have ELA, Social Studies, Math, Science and Gym, which are mandatory. Do I need 5 more?
Please help!
I am in junior high, finishing grade 9 this year.
I like in Winnipeg.
My principal told our class once that we need 8 credits... And we need 30 credits to graduate. That's all I know.
I'm so confused.
--Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I asked my question in the right section and nobody answered...
High school??
that's weird, im in high school and im in 9th. i dont know if you live in the United states, but here we take 4 core classes.
like math, english, social studies, science. then we choose electives, like i chose, athletics (football), spanish, and health. it usually gives you 0.5 credits per semester. and 1 whole credit for the year. and it will tell you how many credits of one class you need.
and honestly i think 8th grade was better, so many of my good friends changed, and moved. and it was just alot eaiser last year. but that's my opinion, good luck.
Reply:High school is absolutely amazing. The only bad thing about high school is drama, but the drama is almost as bad in junior high. Every school's credits are different. But don't worry about it, I love it!

High School?
Should i go to high school. I am a 14 year old guy. I went to school up to seventh grade then was expelled but now they are allowing me to go back if i wish. I don't know if i shoud go back to school. I would be a freshmen (9th grade). I hear it is dangerous and kids are assholes. Is this true? Thank you in advance.
High School?
Most people are jerks, true. But high school is something you don't want to miss out on. Not only that but getting a high school education can help you get higher paying jobs in the future.
Reply:Odds are you will run into alot of assholes in high school but you're gonna run into more later in life so I don't see why you should try to avoid them now
Reply:If you are financially wealthy then you probably do not need to go to school. If not, I would go and finish high school. Decide afte that, what you want to do. Most jobs want people with at least a high school ged or a diploma.
Reply:YES what kind of question is this. if you don't get a higher education than you will live paycheck to paycheck pumping gas or driving school buses. straighten up your life and don't be stupid. you need to go to high school and try to get good grades to get to college. seriously if you don't you will just be a mooching low life who everybody hates. sorry but you need an education.
Reply:i dont know what kind of students are there in your country but
whatever they like,,,,you should go to school
cause that would be your weapon to suceed in life...
Reply:i am in yr 8 and my advice would be to go back to school. People say they hate it but thats the working side of it. Think of friends your could make if you go back to school. If you do well at school think about how much success you would have when you leave school. You could have so many job possibilities. You cant get a good job that has a good pay in modern times unless you have been to uni.
Reply:what the hell!!!?? what kind of question is this?!
you wouldn't even have a choice! either way your parents will force you and school is extremely important unless you wanna live homeless for the rest of your life! try going to another high school..
Reply:yes, you should go back. if anything, you will need a high school education.
Reply:Dude if you go to any high school as a freshman, they will treat you like dirt! It's like the law of the jungle at high school! But trust me dude, from my high school experience (graduated in '07) it's the bomb and you can not miss it! If you are worried about being there for 4 years, don't worry by the time you graduate you will ask yourself "what happened to those four years?" Trust me!
And if you're thinking about your past, trust me dude, there are kids who probably have had worse! Anyway, you can't get a real good paying job without an education, can ya? My strong opinion; it's cool to go back to school!
Hope this helps! Stay smart!
Reply:yes go back 2 school!! of course u want an education dont u??!! and yes that is true but not entirely... ull make friends with ppl going threw th same things as u r! just go u will regret it big time if u dont!

High school???
okay i am in 7th grade now, but go to a charter public school which is NOTHING AT ALL like a reg. public school....there r kids from all over the state....i am going to the public high school so what to expect???
High school???
Mainly, be prepared for a) kids who have known each other and have gone to school together all their lives, b) kids who don't want to be in school, whose parents don't have to pay anything for them to be there so don't really appreciate or respect what they have, and whose purpose in life seems to be making sure no one else enjoys the experience either, and c) a school staff that HAS to put up with bad behavior and can't kick kids out almost no matter what they do to make life miserable for everyone else.
Other than that, it's survivable if you learn to concentrate, set your own priorities, hang out with kids with goals and attitude the same as yours, and, to the extent that your personality allows, try to be leader instead of a follower. If you can't be a leader, at least be very sure that whoever you follow is really worth following.
Good luck.
Reply:it will be a lot harder
1)kids will treat u different
2)teachers will treat u different
3)depending on ur current grading system u might get graded different
4)it will overall be a lot different and maybe difficult for u
but if u be urself and make alot of friends nothing should go wrong
just dont get in trouble alot. or u will get suspended. haha dont get into huge fist fights n get thrown out for 5 days with a $400 fine. yea it can happen. i kno this becuz it happened to me last year. thats why i chose to do cyber school.
Good Luck :)
Edit:
Dont act up in the middle of class (ex: driving teachers insane, picking on ppl, etc.) or they can/will kick u out of class. I was kicked out of class soooo many times it wasnt funny. well actually it was but only 2 me n my freinds. haha
Reply:To be successful, join a group. Run for a class office, as in the first few weeks, no one really knows anyone. Get your foot in the door, and maintain good, decent friends. This should keep you busy and out of trouble.
If you can't get elected, volunteer or take music lessons. These will also help you later, as you graduate, and look great on a resume.
Reply:Its very different because there's a more variety of people and different crowds of people and your going to want to figure out a crowd that you belong in and it gets difficult at times because certain people wont want to except you but you gotta keep in mind to be yourself no matter what!
Reply:different things !!!
- kids treat you dif .
- meaner teachers .
- the teachers grade harder .
- alot to keep up with .
- be yourself ! good luck

High School?
ok so im a high school senior, and i don't really get hit on or asked out by guys, Im not totally ugly or anything, just tall,(6 feet) and strange (I take tape off of the walls at school, just for fun), oh yah, and im not fat (like 150) I am just wondering if it is different after highschool? and if i scare guys away at school by being me?
High School?
Whatever you do, DO NOT CHANGE your personality. High school guys are sometimes immature, and sometimes guys are intimidated by the girls they like. I don't think being tall is a problem. I have had guys that i really liked, and have told me they liked me back but they prefer "tall girls" so tall is definately a feature! After highschool you will meet guys that will be a little bit more mature, and want to meet you. Good luck!
Reply:Hey so am I!!! I really don't know
Reply:well most guy's are not 6 feet and taller and to tel you the truth I Like girls that are shorter than me and I am 5' 11" I would be sort of shy to ask a taller girl out.... dont worry most guys just want S%26gt;E%26gt;X anyways
Reply:IDK
Reply:don't worrie about it....there is a guy out there 4 every 1...u'll find ur prince charming sum day....mabye right now is just not ur time...:)
Reply:Most guys don't want to date women taller than them. It's true in high school, college, and beyond.
Reply:its usually prefrence with guys they go after what they say looks good no matter what they look lke. but i love tall girls exspecially seeing those girls that are tall with the long legs.
