For those with HS graduates, if the child attends community college before transferring to a university and gets most of their basics (say 30 hours), how much attention needs to be paid to the high school requirements? For example, if the college requires 4 yrs of high school math but the child only gets 3, will that really matter anyway if they're going to be considered a transfer student?

I'm just wondering how much I should worry about getting a specific # of high school classes in when the plan really is for DD to attend community college first.

Our experience was that the transfer college did not care about high school at all...

BUT...my son was going to apply to a Common App school as a backup, and that school wanted everything from high school - transcripts, SAT scores, the whole thing. Fortunately, his acceptance for his preferred school came in before he started working on the Common App.

So...my suggestion would be to look at the applications for possible transfer schools now, to see what they ask for.

Also, if you are not sure that your DD would definitely go straight to community college, it's better to do all the high school requirements with applications to four-year schools in mind.
