UC Berkeley required High school courses?

I'm a sophomore in Canada and I'm having trouble trying to compare my courses to that of the requirements of UC Berkeley.

Gr 10: oceanography 11(1 semester), english 10(1semester), math 10(1 semester), PAL(like PE, half semseter), CLM(career/life management half semester), ancient history 10(1 semester), science 10 (1 semester), art 10 (1 sem.), design 11(1 em)


Gr 11 next year:( all 1 sem)canadian his 11, math advance A, math advance B, Eng 11, bio 11, chem 11, physics11,|||I have NO idea, since you are out of the country you should call or email the admissions office and ask them specifically. They will be able to give you the most reliable answer.

I think the UC requirement for california students are along the lines of: 4 years of english, 3 years of math, 2 years of history... etc. A year would mean either 2 semesters or 3 quarters. Unless your school actually splits the class into first semester english, math etc accelerated. THen second semester other classes accelerated. That would be the only case where one semester equals one year. However, since you are from Canada, UCs have different requirements which they don't tell the public. Basically, the only thing you can do is take the classes that you need for Canadian high schools and universities and try applying.


The UC admissions site even says that "The University sets slightly different eligibility criteria for applicants who are not California residents. Nonresident students are not guaranteed admission to UC, even if they meet the eligibility criteria."|||Uc Berkeley is a very very tough school to get into in california. My suggestion is to take the most advanced courses you can possibly take and then have some extra activities like sports and clubs.|||A year long course is 10 credits. Whether it is for a whole year, one semester or quarter. Go by that.|||yea your credits look perfect except for the Canadian history since thats in Canada, i dkn if you will get a credit from that in the usa.but hey just give them a call im sure they can help you with that.its kool that you are getting your education.sammy thats not a hard school to get in its hard if you are just barely passing your classes.a good sat score should do besides if you don't get accepted to the school you can always go to another school for a year then transfer.some people do that my cousin dint get accepted to UF so he went to some school in florida,then transfer to UF now he thinks the gators are the best team in the nation.
