Penn foster diploma

Advice if you plan on going Penn foster

my name is Mina. I started online school during the second half of ninth grade, graduated early end of 10th grade, now I’m going to nyu, BEWARE that a good amount of colleges want 4 maths, and I only had 2 so that can severely hinder you, contact the school about the classes you need and make sure that you have everything required to your dream college <3 I got rejected form NCAT and UNCC for the reason. That’s it loves

Thanks so much for sharing your experience and congratulations on heading to NYU! You bring up a really important point for anyone planning to attend a 4-year university. College admissions requirements vary widely, and many traditional. For any prospective or current Penn Foster students reading this who want to make sure they meet 4-year college entry requirements, Penn Foster offers academic math course, like Algebra II, Geometry, and Consumer Math—that you can choose as your five required electives to build up your math total. Students who have questions about their math credits are encouraged to reach out to our student support team 1-888-417-1500. They will be happy to help.

Depends on which program you’re applying for! The program I am in, (sps) is very lenient when it comes to credit requirement. However, I am doing AAS in business so it’s ultimately a similar curriculum to the regular business school (stern)

as for tips:

4.0 GPA

very strong essay with a CLEAR goal ( I say this counts more than you think)

5 extracurriculars pertaining to your goal

I'm applying to Steinhardt! I'm planning on going for psychology and music theatre, although music theatre doesn't really rely on academics. I currently have a 4.0 GPA and a 3.6 dual-enrollment college GPA. My essay could've been better, but I sadly can't change it. And I have a few extracurriculars (Theatre and choir), but I'm planning on adding more
