I am currently in 10th grade and I have received three credits in languages.
In 8th grade I took a class in hebrew and took a test which allowed me to recieve a high school credit in the class. In 9th grade I continued to take hebrew (recieving another credit) and Spanish I (recieved a credit).
I moved schools and I am now taking Spanish II (they do not offer hebrew) for a fourth credit.
The problem is that next year I am planning on taking courses that will not leave me with a lot of free time (AP US History, AP chemistry, AP literature, AP psycology, Calculus, Regents Physics, and two electives- this is if these classes can fit into my schedule but I am fairly certain that they can.)
Therefore I do not believe that I will have time to continue with foreign languages but I do have a spare period that I could take it in- this would leave me with zero breaks between classes.
If I do not take a foreign language will this severly narrow my chances of getting into a good university? Is it worth making space in order to continue with spanish?
P.S. My 12th grade schedule will also be packed although I will have 2 free periods and then 1 free period alternating between days.
Look at the required/recommended number of foreign language classes for colleges you might consider. Colleges want the classes to be in the same language so you would be seen as having 2 years of foreign language. Many top tier colleges look for 3 - 4 years.
Talk to your guidance counselor but I would strongly consider continuing with Spanish instead of taking either an elective, AP Psych or two sciences.
There are a number of tbreads on CC on this topic which you can search for and read through.
Looks like you have Spanish 2 and Hebrew 2. Many more selective colleges want to see level 3 or 4. Also, colleges may have foreign language graduation requirements that are higher than their foreign language admission requirements.
Regardless of how many years you take, selective schools want you to get to the 4th level of a language, e.g., Spanish 4. If you have not done that I would continue if you are looking at selective schools.
