AP Economics or AP French

<p>my school is dumb and scheduled a lot of the one class AP's at the same time. which should i take? i already got prevented from taking ap euro because of physics so i dont want to not have a social studies. at the same time i love french and dont want to drop it.</p>

<p>reasons to choose ap economics:
-i heard from last year's seniors that the teacher is awesome and the class is alot of fun
-many of my friends are in this class period
-i want to learn about economics
-if i dont take AP ill have to take regular economics, which will have a lot of drinkers and idiots in it
-i might be able to do ap french independent study</p>

<p>reasons to choose french:
-ive always liked french and done well in it
-i know the teacher and she's cool
-i want to be fluent in french
-the girl i like will be taking ap french
-there is a france trip during spring break
-two of my best friends are taking ap french</p>

<p>any thoughts, in terms of college admissions, fun, work load? im taking four other AP's at the moment, plus one of these. thanks</p>

<p>I’d go with French; language APs are always very impressive. Econ is also a doable self-study if you want to learn both.</p>

<p>I’d go with French, It’s easier to self study Econ if you really have to.</p>

<p>I agree with the other two posters that you should take AP French. You can self-study economics for a few weeks and still receive a 5. :)</p>

<p>I was sort of in the same situation as you. I could have either picked AP Government or AP German. Ultimately, I chose German lol.</p>

<p>bump
im leaning towards ap french. any last thoughts before i change my schedule on monday?</p>

<p>The only problem I would have with dropping AP Econ is that a lot of top schools require 4 years of social studies to be competitive in admissions, whereas many schools say 3 years a foreign language is okay (I’m assuming youre a rising senior with 3 years of French already under your belt).</p>

<p>French is a lot more impressive than economics. I opted for AP Spanish Lit over AP Physics and I don’t regret it one bit.</p>

<p>I would go with french. AP economics is a great course but it isn’t as helpful as getting that year of college french out of the way. There is also something incredibly motivational about being in a class with someone you like, as in you always are eager to get there. </p>

<p>True, not having a social studies course is a downside but that’s the only one. French is still the better option IMO</p>

<p>Francais, bien sur.</p>
