What exactly does a college preparatory curriculum consist of?
Q. This will be my 4th year of taking Spanish as a foreign language in high school, but they have been level 3 classes (as opposed to honors). Does this mean I have not fulfilled some colleges requirements of taking 2-3 years of a foreign language? Or are level 3 classes good enough?

A. It would depend on which institutions of higher learning are involved. For most mid-level institutions, level 3 will be good enough, but if you're shooting for Harvard or Yale, for example, honors may be necessary even for minimal consideration.

I want to go to FIT for college but I hanvent had any honors classes?
Q. I am a Junior in HS, and I haven't really taken any special honors classes. I read the "addmition" thing on the Fashion Institute of Technology and it said "Students are encouraged to take a college-preparatory curriculum. In high school, this might include AP, IB, and for New York state students, honors and regents classes. If you are coming from another college, we prefer to see solid academic achievement in core liberal arts classes." and I havent been in any AP classes or honors and I live in Texas if that helps any. =/ What should I do? We have this thing in our school called Dual Enrollment and it gives you college credit...but I'm not sure if that will help. Should I take that? I was offered it last year. :( Any ideas, tips. i… [cont.]

When you're applying for colleges, do I have to meet their own high school course requirements?
Q. I'm a senior in high school and so this summer I'm doing a research on colleges. I've really wanted to go to Syracuse U in NY, and so I went on their website and checked out their applicants requirements. They said: "To be considered for admission to Syracuse, you must meet the following requirements: 2. Be taking, or have taken, a college preparatory curriculum, including four years each of English, science, social studies, and mathematics (through geometry and intermediate algebra) and a minimum of three years of a foreign language." I've met all their requirements except for science. I only have 2 years of it. So does this mean I HAVE to have 4 years of science in high school, otherwise I WON'T be admitted? I mean, c'mon, I wanna… [cont.]

A. If it is a requirement, then you have to take in order to be considered for admissions. But maybe their music department has a different set of requirements; you might want to contact them. Good Luck

Homeschool friendly colleges abroad?
Q. I am a senior home schooler & am organizing my college applications etc. I am applying to several colleges within the U.S. and thought that I might also apply to a few colleges in England, Wales, or Scotland. I am planning to go through UCAS to apply, but was wondering if colleges abroad are less friendly than colleges in the U.S. to homeschoolers, or if you knew of any colleges abroad which have accepted homeschoolers. FYI, I went to private school through my freshman year of high school and began homeschooling in the tenth grade. I homeschool because I am a competitive equestrian and it is necessary for me to travel frequently for competitions and training. I make good grades and good SAT scores. I have also taken standardized testing (IT [cont.]

A. I've never heard of anyone having any problems with Universities in the UK. (Don't know if you already know this but the system is slightly different over there: the colleges there are pretty much equivalent to years 11 and 12 of high school so you need to make sure you're applying to universities; unlike the US, they go directly from high school to uni. Also, students in the UK are required to specialise from day one and study courses in only one or maybe two subjects; there is not the broad US college-style education where you're still required to study several different subjects before specialising further down the track)

A. I finished ninth grade with a 90 average, and I had 5 honors classes, an advanced extra science class, and two extra classes. Honors is no different, I mean you go thru everything faster, and you get graded harsher, but it doesnt really make a difference. Our classes got the regents/state test questions and tests (practice) year round, while regular got it only in June. And if you got a 90 in a class, it was read like a 95 in regular classes, and even on your transcript. Good luck! I can only have one AP class this year, and it'll be AP Euro. And then the rest are all honors again. Bio is easy! I had it last year. ^_^

A. First, check their test score requirements and study hard to make sure you get scores that are in the right range. Also, it goes without saying that you need to do as well as you can in HS from now on. Also, do a campus visit and get in touch with the office of admissions. Make it clear that it is your top choice. They will be impressed by your determination, and your ability to connect attending the school with your career and this will reflect well on you. In your essay, talk about the lessons you learned and how you've turned things around from your negative experiences earlier on in HS.
