I’ve taken Chinese as my foreign lang for a year and a half.<br>
Now I’ve transferred and the councellor didnt let me take any foreign language as the choices were limited to spanish and french which I am completely new to.
Do you think it will be better to take foreign lang for 2 years (junior and senior)? I’ll prob start off in a honor class as if i do plan to take it, i’ll study during the summer.
Because for my junior year, I want to take AP Computer sci, but i need to give up foreign lang in that case. And taking 1 year of french in my senior year sounds kind of awkward… (before senior year, i would’ve already taken 5 AP classes)
Does foreign language play a big role in admission?
<p>If you apply to an arts & sciences college yes, well, at least at cornell. I emailed them about dropping spanish and they were like "we recommond you don't; we like our A&S students to have had 4 years of foreign language in HS (3 wasnt enough for them I guess)</p>
<p>--I decided not to drop, and got in ED--</p>
<p>yeah most universities not specializing in engineering definately want four years of the same foreign language. its very important to them.</p>
<p>oh. but will they understand about my 1 semester of not having foreign language? Like I said, because I never had any background knowledge about the offered foreign language, my councellor didnt let me take any foreign language. Does she have to write a letter of clarification when I send in the apps?</p>
