Colleges & Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>I am a senior hoping for Columbia ED.
My classes are</p>

<p>AP English 4
AP Stats
AP Spanish 4
AP Physics
AP Psychology</p>

<p>I am considering about dropping AP Spanish because it's just too stressful and I already have 3 years of language. If I drop it, the only option I have is a regular Environmental science class.</p>

<p>Should I switch it to EnvSci? Would it influence my chance at getting into Columbia?</p>

<p>Switching to Env Sci shouldn’t have much of an impact on your application, if any. You should worry more about your SATs and application essays, provided that you already have a competitive GPA and have ECs you are passionate about.</p>

<p>Well, it can’t help. All things being equal, your application with the AP Spanish is stronger – even if minimally stronger – than your application with the Env Sci. But it sounds like your senior year schedule is otherwise pretty strong (4 other APs), so I can’t see it mattering in any sort of meaningful way. Also consider whether dealing with a AP language class that you’re struggling with will mean you’ll not only get a crappy grade in that class but your other grades will be affected as well.</p>
