<p>Is FL required - As part of your undergrad curriculum? </p>
<p>Reason I am asking is S2 is HS senior taking AP Spanish, non-native, likes the class but finding hard to keep up with HW assignments (2-3 hours alt nights). This is his 5th year doing Spanish. </p>
<p>If he 'has' to do a language in college then it might make sense to just hang in there? He plans to do either Mech or CS for now. Doing very well in AP Calc, AP Physics C and APCS.</p>
<p>Grading is very hard at this school. Counselor recommends he drops.</p>
<p>Check each college or university to see what, if any, foreign language requirements it has, how they may be fulfilled, and how helpful Spanish 5 in high school or the AP Spanish test would be for them.</p>
<p>Note that many college or university foreign language departments have their own placement tests to put new students in the appropriate level of foreign language course, so a student who took Spanish 4 or 5 in high school but did not take the AP Spanish test may be placed into a higher level Spanish course than the first one in the college or university.</p>
<p>Thank you ^. Tomorrow is the last day to drop so we are scrambling a bit.</p>
<p>Looks like the Engineering majors @ (USC, SCU) don’t require FL as core requirement.</p>
