[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are the UMD entrance requirements:

Four years of English
Four years of math, including Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. Students who complete Algebra II prior to their final year must complete the four-year mathematics requirement by taking a course or courses that utilize non-trivial algebra. Examples of courses meeting this requirement include Algebra II, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus and successor courses, Statistics, and College Algebra.
Three years of history or social science
Three years of science in at least two different areas, with at least two lab experiences
Two years of foreign language

I live in Howard County and these are the high school graduation requirements. There is a way around the foreign language requirement but they will let you know that you need it if you're on a college track. I know several parents who have complained about the Algebra II requirement but I really don't think it's unreasonable.[/quote]
