Dropping both science and spanish senior year

<p>Hi, could you guys possibly give me some advice on my senior year schedule?</p>

<p>Next year, I'm looking at taking</p>

<p>Mun H
AP Lit
AP Calc AB
AP Stats
AP US Gov/AP Microecon</p>

<p>With that being said, I'm thinking of dropping both Spanish and science next year.</p>

<p>This year, I'm taking AP Chem and Spanish III.</p>

<p>Science does not interest me very much, and I'm not planning to major anywhere in the STEM area.
I haven't taken physics yet, so the only science classes available for me next year are physics cp(no honors offered), AP Bio,or AP Environmental.</p>

<p>As for Spanish, I don't feel that I leaned much this year, and I'm scared to go to Spanish IV.....my school does not offer AP Spanish or honors Spanish.</p>

<p>Also, MUN is a zero period at my school, so if I take that along with four other classes, I can get out of school every day at 12PM and go to my internship. The problem is, I'm only starting MUN this year.</p>

<p>How do you think this would look to colleges? Dropping both science and Spanish, I mean.
If I really had to choose one, which one would you guys recommend?
Does my schedule look rigorous enough? I'm taking four APs this year. I'm considering schools like Pomona College, Claremont Mckenna, etc</p>

<p>If you’re planning to go to a selective college or/and be competitive in college admissions, Physics is a must. (With Biology & Chemistry) You probably do not need AP Biology nor AP Environmental Science unless if it greatly has to do with your projected major/career.</p>

<p>As for Spanish, do not ever stop taking it unless you are completely done with it, meaning your high school offers no more than AP Spanish Literature, which is usually the highest level of Spanish in HS. Colleges tend to LOVE foreign language for some reason, plus, it will be beneficial in the future, ESPECIALLY con espanol. :)</p>

<p>In your case, between those two, I would probably go with Spanish IV, unless if I will be a STEM major or a projected Engineer, Physicist, etc. vice versa.</p>

<p>But here is what I would do, drop AP Statistics and self-study the course, do Spanish IV and Physics. Your schedule seems solid from there and you are ready to go.</p>

<p>Thanks for ur input:) </p>

<p>BUMP any more opinions??</p>

<p>You should really take Physics. It’s good to have a year each of the three core sciences. As for Spanish, most colleges like to see that you get up to the “3” level. Then again, @elefish92 has a great point about selective colleges loving foreign language. Four years does look very good on a transcript. However, if I had to pick one or the other, I would do physics. </p>

<p>From what i heard ap stats is mad easy and you’re already taking calc so you’re covered on math. I also suggest that you take a foreign language bc as previously stated colleges may say that they want 2 or 3 years in a language, when in reality they want all 4. Also take science if you can fit it in your schedule. Colleges like to see the core classes: math, science, language, english, and history.</p>

<p>The thing is, I’ve kind of run out of APs to take, since I obviously can’t take AP Japanese or Chinese or French, which are all offered by my school, and stuff like AP Art history, APES, and AP Bio don’t interest me. </p>

<p>The reasoning I’m taking two maths is partly because of that. stats is an easy AP, and I’m limited in my choices. </p>

<p>How do you think taking only 5 classes would look? I’ve taken 7 each semester since freshman year though</p>

<p>Your school offers AP Japanese, Chinese, and French, but not Spanish? That seems unlikely. Regardless, I would continue with Spanish.</p>

<p>Yeah, though I can’t determine why, because at least half the students are Hispanic. </p>

<p>I think I ll drop science but stick with Spanish. Also ive decided against starting MUN in senior year. So my senior year schedule will be as follows: </p>

<p>AP Lit
AP Calc AB
AP US Gov/AP Microecon
AP Stats
Spanish IV </p>

<p>You really need to take physics its hard to get into a competitive school without it. I would not worry about spanish 4. Not taking physics will hurt you more than spanish 4 will help you. Most colleges only care that you take spanish 3 and anything above that is a plus. I only went through french 3. But not taking physics is a big mistake.</p>

<p>As for the taking less classes, I think it is fine. Many seniors in my area do it (my brother did it his senior year, i didn’t have the option though since I go to a magnet school). If you really want to take spanish and are worried about that, I would recommend taking six classes so that you can fit physics in.</p>
