<p>I am currently signed up to take French 4 next year. However, our French teacher is going to be abroad next year and a new teacher from abroad will teach us. So, I wanted to drop French, and doing so will allow me to take AP US Gov't or even independent study in AP Econ. Should I drop French or does 3 years of foreign language look bad for Ivies?</p>
<p>APs for next year: Calc BC, Psych, Chem</p>
<p>oh, and if anyone asks, I know I don't have an "e" in my username, I ran out of room!</p>
<p>hmm that's a good plan, i'm wondering the same for myself, except replace french w/ spanish in my case...i'd like to see some other feedback on this, but i do know that whatever AP course you replace it with will definitely be weighted more than your french course, thus highering your GPA</p>
<p>Is it AP French 4, and would you have taken the AP test for it?</p>
<p>It really depends on your interest in the French language; if you don't wish to pursue French in college, then I would say go for it! Maybe you could get some core requirements out of the way...</p>
<p>Haha I had this same sort of dilemma my Sophomore year when my French 7 class and my AP World class were the same period, so I dropped French moved AP World into that period and took regular physics as an elective and I do NOT regret dropping French, even though I enjoyed taking it.</p>
<p>moodrets, I can take the AP test after it, but at my school the French program was never a strong point, so I was never sure if I was going to take the AP test. I don't want to study French in college, I really wanted to take German since freshman year, but at that time you had to take a bus to a different school so I just chose french!</p>
