Common Freshman Completions

By end of freshman year, you might have:

• 1 year of English (B)
• 1 year of Math (C)
• 1 year of Foreign Language (E)
• Possibly 1 year of Lab Science (D)

Planning Ahead

Think about:

• When will you complete remaining requirements?
• Are you on track for recommended courses (not just minimum)?
• Do you need summer school for anything?

Important Notes

• Minimum is 15 courses, but competitive applicants take more
• "Recommended" courses make you more competitive
• Plan for balance across all four years

Questions for Your Counselor

• "Am I on track for A-G completion?"
• "What's my plan for meeting requirements?"
• "Are my current courses A-G approved?"
