National honor society, National Technical honor society and the National society of high school scholars and an Eagle scout, 3.8 gpa, the list goes on to what I have done with myself during highschool. No college Will take me because Iam short of 2 forieng languages and a math credit. I have asked every college that I contacted If I can Either A) take adult educatiuon to appease those credits,B) get a GED, since it fully qualifies an applicant to the entry requirements for 2 of the colleges Iam looking at, C) take those credits and community college (and only those credits). Not one college has said yes to any of those and all of them said I have to take at least30 credits (some said 60) of community college and transfer. My community college is not any cheaper than the colleges Iam looking at (except 3 of them). I will never adhere to those demands because it dishonors everything I have done in my life. I would be incapable of living on knowing that I let them push me around.

If you pursue a BS rather than a BA you usually do not need the foreign language credit. As for the math credit - you might have to take a remedial course in college to make up for the lack of it.
I attended the Unv of Tenn at Chattanooga without foriegn language and lacking in Math and the only thing I had to do was take a semester of remedial algebra to make up for my lack of it.
There's also an option of testing out of the requirement. If you have strong math skills or already know a foriegn language inquire about testing out of the requirement.

Why didn't you just get the credits when they were available, and you would have avoided this whole mess? And forget your "pride," don't give in to them and let them get what they want. Just do what they ask, attend the college, and kick a**, graduate at the top of your class, then laugh in their face when they ask for a donation.

my question is why didn't anyone tell you beforehand that you would need those credits for college?

Maybe you're not meant for college, or it for you. There are many ways to educate oneself.
