<li><p>Some of the ivies and other schools I am looking at suggest that you take 4 years of a foreign language. Is it a major no-no to not have? I have only taken 2 years of Spanish.</p></li>
<li><p>Most, if not all colleges want you to take 4 years of English and high school requires 4 English credits to graduate.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>My situation is that I took English Fresh./Soph. years and I am taking Dual-Enrollment English as a Junior. This Junior course is worth 2 English credits and covers 2 years worth of material.</p>

<p>My senior schedule would be</p>

<p>AP US Gov/econ
AP Environmental
Physics Honors
AP Calc BC online(FLVS)
DE Financing Electives online
DE British Lit./Women in Lit. at the college campus </p>

<p>I really would rather take AP Comp. Science instead of that english class at the campus, which is far, and there are no other english classes at my school </p>

<p>I want to major in engineering anyways, do colleges actually want 4 years or just 4 credits of English? Thanks!</p>

<p>Yeah the engineering school probably doesn’t really care that much that you only took 2 years of Spanish. I only took 2 years as well. For CAS it would be more important. </p>

<p>Taking the CS instead of English might be fine, since you said the course you took Junior year covers 2 years, but then again it might not since you didn’t take two separate courses(or did you?). I’d call the admissions office and ask.</p>

4

<p>How many credits is the English class for, if you’re taking it at a community college?</p>

5

<p>I am taking English 1101 first semester and English 1102 next semester</p>

<p>each is worth 1 credit of high school english</p>

<p>so I have 4 total</p>

<p>?</p>

6

<p>Are those classes fulfilling your high school graduation requirement? Or are they separate?</p>

7

<p>They count towards 2 credits of my graduation, yes.</p>

8

<p>oh so its separate classes, probably fine</p>

9

<p>yea, I’d say fine then.</p>
