<p>Same situation here. I don't think I'm going to take it because I want to take AP Chem, and my college major definetely won't have anything to do with French. I'm guessing it comes down to whatever schools I apply to and it won't make or break me anyway, but does anyone have anymore input?</p>

<p>thanks guys - this is going to be an interesting debate.
anyone have facts straight from ivy league admission officers?
because i STILL dont want to take language my senior year ... but i might if i need to :(</p>

<p>if you already know another language, no.
for example, i know russian and i only took up to the 3rd level of Latin because my college counselor told me it wouldn't matter --- colleges want to see dedication to something (it doesn't have to be a language). that's more important</p>

<p>they do, however, want to bring lots of languages into the college. if you know one already, they don't care so much about dropping languages.</p>

<p>So for top schools, you generally need to take up to the 4th year!? blah</p>

<p>Um, I took latin 1 in 9th grade, but when I moved the school had no latin program so I switched to Spanish. This would mean that I will only be able to complete up to Spanish 3. Any thoughts how this will be viewed?</p>

<p>I'm in Spanish 4 as a junior, got 100 on the Regents, and don't plan on taking Ap or SAT2, though I do decent in the class, which is actually kind of hard for our school. I'm thinking of taking Latin 1 or some other electives to continue challenging myself.</p>

<p>Is that okay for the University of Chicago? Not looking at HYPSM.</p>
