Going to school for Bachelor of Science with College level highschool credits?

[Parasitic]

Alright,

I'm having troubles keeping up with my university level courses in Highschool, And I would like to go to school to get my BSc to be an RN.

I know for a fact the only courses i can keep above 75% that are (U) Level, are Biology and English, problem is i need advanced functions, data management, calculus, And Chemistry.

This is specific for the local College/University split course.

You need to speak to a course counselor that can help you determine what courses would be best for you to take. Whether that's some upgrading courses in college (because you may not have done so well in certain courses), or the math course that would suit you the best once you're there, they can help you figure that out. Make sure you get a second opinion before you make any decisions. Is funding an issue for you?

Yes, but the system in the States (where I did that) is a little different from in Canada, and of course the system has also changed since the Middle Ages when I attended university. I tested out of my first year, essentially -- math, chem, english, bio, and history. It's hard to score that many credits now because the AP system has watered down its tests, and as a result universities don't give out as many credits as they used to.

Some general comments, however,.... normally, universities in the US/Canada system are more likely to allow you to test out of classes that aren't directly related to your field of study but are nevertheless breadth requirements. (For example, a biology major would have an easier time getting credit for high school English, and vice versa.)

Secondly, you don't need college-in-high-school credits. They're a luxury but hardly something worth killing yourself (or destroying your GPA) over.

Well.... it depends. If the school or district you're in has a relatively high percentage of HS students taking college-level courses then you differentiate yourself in a negative way if you take none. Conversely, if your school or district has relatively few students taking college-level courses then you can differentiate yourself in a positive way by taking just one.

So, depending on your school, you might need some college-level courses to help prevent university admissions from seeing you as a slacker. My wife who works in the provost's office of the local Sate Uni confirms this is one of the (many) determining factors they consider. A slightly lower GPA is OK if it is due to college-level course work. She does point out, though, that they don't have in-depth data on every school system.

As a slight aside: my Son who just started at U of Guelph in Canada took almost exclusively honors and AP courses in his senior year in HS. Now at UofG he says he feels neither ahead nor behind most of his fellow freshman, but he did note that at 18 he is a year younger than most of them. Apparently Canadian high school has an add'l year...?
