<p>I'm trying to figure out my schedule for my senior year, and I'm not quite sure whether to take a third year of Latin. I know Duke says they recommend 4, but I don't really have room in my schedule. I have 2 so far, and if I take a third It'll mean I'll have to knock out a much more difficult AP course, probably Psych. I guess the question is whether they would rather me have 3 easy yrs of Latin or 2 yrs plus an extra AP.</p>
<p>P.S. They don't even have a Latin IV at my school</p>
<p>I would definitely go with the Latin over a fluff AP like Psychology, especially if you plan to apply to Trinity. You can probably skirt by with three years of foreign language like I did (although I applied to Pratt), but I doubt two would cut it, even with the extra AP (which, by the way, you could probably self-study fairly easily).</p>
<p>Take the Latin. Latin > AP Psych, which is a pretty easy AP anyway…</p>
<p>On a side note, I’m planning on taking 3 AP’s next year. That plus the two I’ve already taken will give me 5 out of I think 12 that my school offers. Do you guys think that’s a challenging enough course rigor?</p>
<p>It depends on your course of study. Take all you can in your planned major and several others in core subjects (i.e. English, Mathematics, etc.), and you should be fine.</p>
<p>Take whatever you’d like to study.</p>
