AP Spanish or AP English?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>It has come time to choose classes for next year. I have to choose between AP English Literature or AP Spanish Language (because those two classes are both taught during the same period), and I really don't know what to choose. This year, I have an absolutely AMAZING Spanish teacher, and I really love the class and I've heard that next year the teacher is just as good. I don't really like English class too much, and the AP English teacher next year is an old lady who is known to be very close-minded and tough (my friends who are usually straight A students get low/mid B's in her class).</p>

<p>Obviously, you can see from above that I'd rather take Spanish, but my parents think that English would benefit the most because they don't think Spanish is too important. I want to go into either Psychology or some type of Business (lol, yes I know, two very different things), so which one do you guys think I should take? Do colleges prefer one over the other?</p>

<p>My high school doesn't offer AP English, but I was able to take the AP English exam and get a 5 on it anyway. I'd say go ahead and take the AP Spanish, and you can work on studying for the AP English on your own time (or not study and take your chances, as I did :) .</p>

<p>Take AP Spanish and an advanced lit or writing course (if you can) and then just take the English AP test. </p>

<p>Whoops, I didn't see what you wanted to major in. I still give the same advice though lol.</p>

<p>^You could do that; AP English Lit isn't really specific to the course, though it would be good to read some of the recommended books.</p>

<p>I would say that if you want to go into Psychology, take English Lit, and for Business, take AP Spanish.</p>
