<p>8th grade (Middle school) - German I
9th - German II
10th - German III</p>
<p>After 10th grade I dropped German because my teacher did not prepare me at all for IV and my schedule did not allow it. So this year, 11th grade, I picked up Latin I.</p>
<p>I have two questions. Should I do Latin II next year? Or would I be better off picking up an easy AP class like Env Sci? I'm not sure in how valuable latin II is if I have no intention to study it in college. How much is only three years of language (two in HS) going to hurt me? </p>
<p>Range of schools i'm interested in are ranked USNews 25-40</p>
<p>Continue with Latin if that's what you want to do, or if you think Env Sci would be more interesting, then do that. Some colleges might require 4 years of language, so you want to make sure you meet the requirements, but I think that your decision won't really matter in admissions, so it's more a matter of your interests</p>
<p>I think you should continue with latin. . .i have a question for anyone who knows. . .I took Arabic and French in 9th grade as a Foriegn Language, then did Arabic in 10 and 11. . .is this considered four years of foriegn language</p>
<p>Colleges that recommend 3 or 4 years of language mean in the same language. Colleges that actually require language mean the same thing but none I am aware of actually require more than 2 years (more than that you will usually see as "recommended" not "required"). Also, they mean completion of that level in language not that you must necessarily have that many years in high school. For internationals whose native language is not English, you usually do not have to meet any such requirement but need to demonstrate English proficiency; rules for those vary so check with particular college.</p>
