i havent even been able to take geometry yet, i ahe been asking and asking but they gave me art.... sorry im just really ........ed at my school

If you go to a four year colledge, they'll probably have a math class to. When you first start diving into programming, you're not going to be doing anything to mathmaticaly intense. Probably by the time you actualy get to the math portions, you'll be all caught up. And if your not, use google XD.
If you're going for programming, you definantly want some type of programming course, computer science is how computers are built. (Mine was anyways -,-)

hmmm, i dont think im any closer to an answer than i was when i first posted.....

Its simple. If you don't think you can handle the calculus (although, where I live calculus can be substituted for a second science) or the highest math, before the end of highschool, then go to a community college to upgrade and transfer to a university later. Since you're only a junior though, you still have time. Where I live many people have spare blocks in grade 11/12 (I've had 4 out of 16), which you could use towards math. If that fails through then theres summer school (which costs some-odd $150 for the course thats 6 weeks), which btw might offer it online. Then theres also the internet for extra resources. If you're on a semester system, or your school allows you to take say grade 10 and 11 at the same time (mine does), then I find it incredibly hard to not get the highest math if you are determined (and thats without factoring summer school). On top of that, maybe your school (or another close school) offers calculus off the time table (mine does). I personally slacked off my entire life and am trying to avoid community college, so obviously I wouldn't recommend that route.Originally Posted by sreetvert83

You had a strange computer science program.
If you haven't even taken Geometry yet it sounds like you're way behind (although your school might do things completely differently than mine). It seems to me that most 4-year universities want you do have up to pre-calculus, and a few even require calculus.
I personally think a 4-year college is the best route; it seems like going to a technical college or a game design school (like DigiPen) would be pretty restrictive. I also know a lot of people who plan to go or have gone to the local community college for two years before transferring, so if you find you aren't ready for university right away, that could be a good option.

shh my computer science 1 was c++ recap ; )
cs2 we implemented class's through inheritance and my final lab was a bank account ; )
im 70+ hours deep, a little over 60%
my cs major doesnt require a minor, but i picked math since we had to take some courses like calculus 1, calculus 2, discrete mathematical structures, differential equations, linear algebra, and some statistics classes ~ 20 hours for the minor.
the classes are easier since they are taught towards computer science.. for instance, in cal 2 i made a program ( cant remember what it did ), but i got an A and didnt have to turn in 3 pages of proofs... simply the source code..
there are always hard courses for each major & minor... it is what you make of it. I took a course called "Artificial Intelligence" where we /cough/ learned "clisp". Our final project we could either use that or java. I used java and got a B for the course... i didnt know squat about java but it was a breeze since its object oriented just like c++...
besides, where i go to school, we submit our homework from the internet which is always a plus especially of the crazy nights where u see the sun coming up and you're just falling asleep...

well right now im enrolled in a class Computational Science and engeneering using Java, and maybe when im done with that ill know where i want to go

#1 - A 4-year public or private university, B.S. degree. (First 2 years at a community college is OK.)...i dont think im any closer to an answer....
#2 - A public community college, A.S. degree.
#3 - A public community college, Certificate.
#4 - A private trade school, Degree or Certificate. Be very suspicious of “trade schools”. There are lots of schools that specialize in helping you to get a student loan, so they can collect the money. If you do consider a private trade school, or tech school, ask for placement and salary statistics. Also ask for references… a list graduates that you can talk to. If they say they can’t because of “privacy issues”, they are lying! Successful graduates would be happy to talk to potential students.
