<p>i have a couple questions regarding my schedule next year...im currently as a sophmore in french 3 so therefore i only have 2 years in french but a third year level, truth is, im not great at french, it my worst subject and i really dont want to continue it. Would colleges frown upon stopping now? mind you, ill be taking lots of tough classes all honors and AP so i dont want a course thatll require more attention from me as it is not strong to bring down focus in other courses. Should i continue the sequence or drop it but maintain a strong schedule?
If it matters my fields in college i wish to study are chem/bio/crim jus/engineering, no type of liberal language fields</p>
<p>My feel is that colleges “prefer” you to keep up with the languages, but if you are not going into a related field, I don’t think they would really care. If you feel that it would bring down your GPA and you really don’t enjoy the class, dropping is probably just fine.</p>
<p>You know yourself best, to be honest. If you dislike French, you can replace it with a class that is just as demanding-but one you will enjoy more. The more you like a subject, the better chances that you will do well. :)</p>
<p>btw while im on topic the science progression in our school is bio>chem>phys however i took chem this year and want to take AP chem next year and AP bio senior year, is it smarter to take physics H or to do AP</p>
<p>You should keep in mind that many colleges require/strongly recommend between 2 and 4 years of language to even be considered. Even if you’re not interested in liberal arts, these colleges want to see some languages.</p>
<p>Honestly, I’d stick with it for 1 more year. That should give you enough to satisfy most language requirements.</p>
<p>3 years of language are almost required to get into most top colleges.</p>
<p>do the 3rd year and then drop it. it will lead to more open doors come senior year.</p>
