Few Questions while planning to major in Computer Science

<p>Hey everyone! I'm currently a Soph in HS, and I'm planning on majoring in Computer Science in a college such as Carnagie or UOB ( Hopefully :) ). At the end of my Freshman year, I signed up to take Spanish 4H and AP Computer Sci A as a Soph. Unfortunately, my counselor said Spanish 4H and AP Comp Sci A occur at the same blocks each day so I'd have to choose one of the two. I initially wanted to take Comp Sci A because I took the prerequisite (Comp Math) as a freshman and I got an easy A in that class. However, I had to go with the <em>4 years of foreign language bandwagon</em>. Last night, I looked up the req. for colleges that I plan on going to such as CM, UOB, and Gerogia Institute of Tech, and most have a req. of 2 years of language and don't recommend more. Since I already have a3 years of Spanish on me, would it be wise for me to take AP Comp Sci A instead? I really do enjoy the field of computer science!</p>

<p>Also, would it be pointless for me to then take Spanish 4H as a junior because I heard that languages have to be consecutive in order to count for college.</p>

<p>I will also have another elective spot open and my counselor recommended me to take Econ/International Relationships ( Each is a semester course ) or AP Psychology. I was planning on taking Psychology so I could fill up a credit in my Adv. Diploma but I don't know if that would hurt my chances into getting into a comp sci. oriented college if I took Psych. I don't even know if AP Psychology is easy :/</p>

<p>If I do take AP Psychology, then I would be taking English 10H (zero period), AP Comp Sci A,AP World History, and AP Psychology, PE 10, and I go to an academy on other days for the equivalent of Pre Calc, a science research program, and Earth Sci + Chem (both honors) as a Sophomore.</p>

<p>Colleges in the US are more concerned with what level of foreign language you completed. So if you complete Spanish 4H at any time during high school, you will be seen as having completed level 4.</p>

<p>On the other hand, if you skip a year, you may find coming back to it to be more difficult, unless you maintain practice some other way (e.g. talking to native or heritage Spanish speaking people in Spanish, reading Spanish newspapers, etc.).</p>
