Im currently a junior and I dropped the second semester of French 1 during my sophomore year. I took Latin 2 freshman year and am going to take French at a community college for my next two years. I dropped the class because I was dealing with health issues and had to lighten my schedule and it was my least favorite class (teacher wise). I got an A for the first semester but I’m scared at how colleges will look at me dropping the class.
How does it appear on your transcript? Did you withdraw in time to have it not show up? Or is it listed as a withdrawal? If it’s listed as a withdrawal, you can have your guidance counselor comment about why you withdrew. If it doesn’t show up, it will look no different than if you had taken Latin 2 as a freshman, and decided not to take a language the following year.
I wouldn’t worry about how it “looks”…just look at the colleges you are interested in, and see what their requirements are for foreign languages. If you can get to Level 3 or 4 in a language that is usually want is needed.
