Answer 1

First, depends on the school you plan to attend. If you are looking at a community college for general education coursework, you may be okay already as often admission in based on having a high school diploma or equivalent (with a certain score). You can take classes there and transfer them later. (Often community colleges are less expensive than others as well.)

From my experience in admissions at a major urban university, incoming freshmen need at least 4 years/courses of English, 3 of math (algebra I and II and geometry), 3 science, biology, chemistry and another (and some labs), American history and world history and 2 of a foreign language. They have some leeway. There's also the requirement of an ACT or SAT score. Is that something you're planning to take?

If you're an adult student, there may be a few differences. For instance, where I was an adult student could take 24 credit hours as a "special" student (admissions status) and those could be used to determine admittance into one of the colleges/schools.

Good luck! Sounds awesome!

Answer 2

It would look better if you took Spanish instead of French. And I would take Algebra II and/or Consumer Math maybe even Trigonometry. It also depends on what you want your major/minor to be.

Answer 3

personally you seem to be well rounded to me however, if there are other courses that you are interested in taking go ahead but if not, i dion't think you need to take any other courses.
