Do collegs look at how many credits you have completed in your high school career?

I am wondering if you take exactly the right amount of credits each year, will colleges look at that and say to themsleves that they would rather have a student with more credits then needed to graduate?

yes they do each college has separate requirements for each course so yes they look at how many credits you have and in what subjects.

Every school is different. It’s not usually how many credits, but did you take the right courses. For example ADMISSION TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY AS A FRESHMAN THROUGH 2002

These requirements are minimum entrance requirements. In many cases, the student needs to exceed these requirements in order to be admitted.

1. Subject Requirements

The California State University Board of Trustees has adopted a comprehensive pattern of collegiate preparatory subjects as an element of the admission requirements. The subject requirements now in effect are:

1. 4 years of English

2. 3 years of Mathematics

3. 1 year of U.S. History or U.S. History and Government

4. 1 year of Laboratory Science

5. 2 years of Foreign Language

6. 1 year in the Visual/Performing Arts

7. 3 years of approved electives

Students must earn a C or better in these courses.

I’m curious about this as well… All I know is that colleges specifically look at the difficulty of classes, so I guess if you take fewer but more challenging courses, they shouldn’t hold it against you. Personally, I’m taking 4 APs and an honors course currently, but I also have 2 study halls next semester during soccer season, so I hope taking fewer credits next semester doesn’t affect colleges’ view of me.

Anyway, I’m no expert, so I’m interested to see what other have to say, too!

Yes, colleges do look at ur HS credits. One of the major things colleges look at. I think it’s credits, obviously SAT scores, and some other stuff.
