Well, I’m a Freshman and I am wondering, will Computer Literacy help me get a good Scholarship for college if I do well? Now I know Computer Engineering is better, and I am trying to change in that, but just in case I can’t, will it help?
By the way, it says Computer Literacy is the knowledge and ability to use computers and technology efficiently. Is this correct for High School? And please give examples of what I learn/do.
By the way. I’m in Geometry for my Freshman Year. If I keep passing and advancing up to Senior Year, what Math Class will I be in?
By the way, just for the record, I know the Math Classes, but I do not know them in order.
And if I need a specific GPA to help you answer my question, I maintained a 3.7 in Jr. High. So lets say I maintain a 3.5-4.0 range all four years.
BQ- Is there an A.P. History? I have asked this question so many times and always got Yes and No answers.

You will be in calculus your senior year. A computer class will not really attract colleges, as it is not that academically rigorous (at least compared to the other classes you are discussing). You should however take the computer class, because computer literacy will help you succeed in the working world and in college. It should be a class you get an A in without working too hard. The content of this course would vary by school, but I would guess you would learn all the microsoft applications very well, like Access, Excell, and Word. I’m sure you already know word, but lots of professional jobs want you to know Access, and you never know. Excell will be used in math classes in college, for research projects. Don’t take computer engineering unless it is a genuine interest for you, because it will likely not sway admissions.
There is an AP history. Usually American and European. I would highly suggest taking that. Many highschools don’t allow you to take that until your sophmore year.
If you are concerned about scholarships, you are better off selecting a service activity that you have a genuine interest in and can devote time to. Lots of scholarships are related to overall GPA, or service hours, not individual classes. Of course you don’t want to take cake-walk classes, but it doesn’t seem like this is the case.
Volunteer, and increase your chances for a scholarship!!
