<p>Poseur–yes, I was surprised that Latin 4 wasn’t the AP level, but thought possibly at your school they take 4 years to do 3, or something. That’s too bad. </p>
<p>To illustrate another injustice: At our HS, after AP Computer Science, the kids can take “Advanced Topics in Computer Science” which is also weighted, as being college-level, which it probably is. However, it is no more difficult for the kids who get to that level than Band IV is for competent senior band members. But Band IV isn’t weighted. In fact, there is no “Band IV”–it’s just all band because there is no way to differentiate between mediocre musicians who have been taking band for 4 years and great ones. That’s why there are individual Solo competitions–you can shine there, but it doesn’t help your GPA any.</p>
<p>So bottom line, you should take what you love and not worry about the GPA–it will even out in the end.</p>
