Commitment: is it truly important or the opposite?

<p>Do colleges want to see a student stick with an extracurricular for the entirety of high school or do they prefer the student that tries out different things to find their forte?
Say a senior decides to drop German class in senior year because he already has 4 years instead of moving on to German 5. Are colleges okay with that or do they percieve it as a kid merely trying to satisfy a prerequisite?
Another example, say in senior year you add two new extracurriculars that look completely random, ie newspaper and photography, when you are usually inclined towards less specialized classes.
Basically what I am asking is, do colleges want to see a student stick with their Ec's through senior year or not? In fact, could colleges prefer the student that is more adventurous and willing to drop their extracuriculars of three years to try new things?
Thank you for your time.</p>

<p>P.s. Do colleges even get to see your senior year schedule or are admissions decisions based upon the end of junior year?</p>
