Im in grade 12 and i want to know what math courses are needed to get into university?

Please refer to the answers in your previous question. Us here on the Internet not only don’t live in the same city nor state, but not even in the same country. We cannot offer you high quality advice. The high school you currently attend, however, can and wants to provide you with all the details you need regarding what courses are needed for what university programs. Basically there is no set “math course” you need to get into every university – it varies from program to program and university to university.

Please go talk to your guidance counselor or career counselor. They want to help you with this.

not to sound rude… but have you ever thought that you could live in the same contry.

Do you mean that you and I could live in the same country? It could be. I’m a Canadian living in Canada, and this site’s audience tends to be more Americans. Since you’ve provided no information whatsoever about your situation however, how can anyone know where you live or what university you want to go to?

As a matter of fact i am a canadian living in canada as well… and your right i didn’t give any information about what university i want to go to… but where i live most universitys expact the same things. (meaning courses)

Grade 12 is a little late to be thinking about what math classes you need to get into college, no? Usually that’s considered in grade 9, when you have the time ahead of you to take the classes? Depending on the course of study you intend to pursue, and the selectivity of the college, usually College Algebra 1, Statistics, or Pre-calculus.

Pre-calc for sciences, statistics for business and social sciences, college algebra 1 for everything else

See i don’t want to go into math in university. all i want to know are what the usually requirement to get excepted into a university. I wan’t to get into social working.

You should ask your academic advisor at school. Also, even though you don’t want to study math as a course of study, at least one or two classes in mathematics are usually required in college as part of general education requirements.

I went through high school and university in Ontario.

The golden key is to talk with your academic adviser. They are paid to find these answers for you. They know exactly where to look and what to look for and who to talk to to get you the answers you need. They also know where to look for scholarships and bursaries to help you out.

I talked with my adviser back in Grade 9–10-11 and she helped me immensely to get the info I needed. I really really recommend this course of action. It’s the best course of action in your case now.

Thanks. I just don’t want to take any math courses i do not need.

Only your advisor can answer that question. You should have a “roadmap” of things you need to do, and classes you need to take, and be working your way down the list.

Id not even ask my adviser, id go to the college your interested in’s adviser.

I don’t know what you guys have in Canada, but in the States we have the SAT and the ACT we need to take to get into college. The score you get on that, in addition to your GPA and class ranking is what determines your entrance into a university. Once you get into said university they will administer what is know as a placement test. This is when your math classes matter. The more math you know and the better you do on the test the fewer math classes you will have to take in college.

For example I took very few math classes in high school, and I payed for it later in college when I had to take pre college math courses because I bombed the placement test. It is very possible to test out of many of your math requirements depending on what your major will be and how well you do. This is the only way math classes benefit you in high school.

Honestly, I would focus more on what school you want to go to that has programs in the type of studies you would like to do. Find a school, then ask their requirements.

But like others have said, the end of February in Grade 12 is a bit late to think about this.
Are you considering dropping a class right now?
Can you even do that in high school?

Yes you can drop classes. Which im not going to do.
I am taking seven classes right now and one more wouldn’t do any damage.

I was in that same boat. I wasn’t going into a math major so i wanted to take the minimum math courses I could that colleges would still like. Before my senior year I had already done 2 algebra courses, pre-calculus and trigonometry, and if it hadn’t been for my mother urging me on, I wouldn’t have taken calculus my senior year. But I did, and it looked good on my resume. However, I have friends who only got up through algebra and trig and still got into fine colleges, so I guess it all depends on what you’re committed to do, and what you want admissions officers to see.
