Today i was researching some colleges in the area that i would like to attend. I am a junior this year and i figured i should get a head start on making a decision. Anyhow, my highschool requires 3 years of a social studies which i will be fulfilling. this year i dropped my social studies to take accounting 1. im concern is that i am looking into a college that requires 4 years of social science. i am wondering if they would reject me for only having 3. i will fulfill all of the other requirements. (4 years of english, 4 of mathematics, 4 years of a foreign language, 4 years of natural science including 4 years of labratory experience, and electives.)
Additional info, added Thursday August 4 2011, 2:09 pm: added, i am always on the honor roll every quarter. i am taking honors theology 3 and (probably) 4, also taking honors german 3 & 4.. Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category? Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities? LM answered Thursday August 4 2011, 6:08 pm: You'll probably be fine, especially if you took the accounting class to get familiar with the subject for college. You have double the lab experience, and theology may fulfill the social science requirement (because it's a class you're receiving credit for).
Depending on the college, you might have to take an extra social science requirement once you're enrolled. Don't make a big deal out of it though - submit your application and transcript and see what they say. If there's a space on the application to do so, maybe emphasize that you've taken classes above and beyond requirements to expand your knowledge in additional subject areas.
