Having knowledge of that stuff is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another issue I\u2019ve had is with class registration. \u00a0\u00a0When you get a good enough grade in certain classes you can skip another class. \u00a0I took college algebra and got a B which meant that I didn\u2019t need to take precalc. \u00a0I went to an advisor before picking my classes for the spring, and they could have explained to me that the grade I got in college algebra could allow me to skip taking precalc. \u00a0But that didn&#8217;t happen. Taking a class I don\u2019t need to take is a waste when I could be taking other classes toward my graduation.  So many people don\u2019t graduate in 4 years. If the college had more money, they could hire more advisors. \u00a0The TAP Gap is cheating the university out of money.  <br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am undecided but likely going into Accounting.
