Foreign Language or Extra Science?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>So next year (Junior Year) I'm thinking of dropping my Chinese 4 class in favor of a third science. I kind of hate learning the language, and on top of that, I'm not very good at it, but on the other hand, if I take it next year, I will have completed the Chinese program at my high school.
I want to take AP Physics B instead because A) I love science and hope to major in a science field and B) my school will be turning it into a two year class my senior year, so I won't be able to take it. I have the option of taking AP Physics C as a senior, but its not something I'm as interested in.</p>

<p>I just don't know what a college would like: the three continuous years of the same foreign language, or my extra science classes.</p>

<p>Here's the rest of my schedule for next year:
AP Calculus BC
AP 11 English
AP Chemistry
AP Economics (Macro and Micro)
Genetics/Bacteriology/Biotechnology/Embrology (GBBE)
Chinese 4 or AP Physics B</p>

<p>i have the same problem! i don’t know whether i should take french 3 or another science</p>

<p>I just made a thread about this, lol.</p>

<p>I ended up dropping Spanish IV for AP Chemistry this year (I don’t regret it), and I’m debating whether I should take a 6th science course or take Spanish again senior year.</p>

<p>Dude, do you really have to triple science?</p>

<p>If it makes you happy, then have at it, but seriously man…</p>

<p>I would recommend another year of language but if you are really interested in that science class and cannot take it next year, I would go for it. You can always pick up Chinese Senior year. Some people don’t even have two years of foreign language so even keeping it at that is fine.</p>

<p>Take AP Chem senior year so you can get in the first year of physics now.</p>
