High School Scheduling question

<p>I have a couple of questions regarding my schedule.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>I am slated to take Spanish 4 next year, but I was thinking of changing my language, maybe to Italian or something. Many people say that colleges like it if you are consistent, but how important would the change be?</p></li>
<li><p>I am also taking Concert Band. Should I stop playing to take AP Stats? </p></li>
</ol>

<p>Additional info- I am going to be a junior, and I am going to be taking (as of now) 3 AP courses.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>If you really don’t like Spanish and you really really prefer Italian, then definitely go for Italian. But if you are unsure whether you should make the transition, then you should probably stick with Spanish. There are many theories as to how college admissions officers look at languages, but I’ve heard that they do like consistency and dedication in your language. </p></li>
<li><p>Once again, it is all about what you enjoy more. Personally, I love playing instruments and I would stick with concert band. :wink: Do you have any idea of what you would like to do in college/the future? If your future involves music, stick with concert band. If you are going more into research, sciences, etc., maybe AP Stat is a better choice. But then again, you don’t want to kick yourself in the butt later for choosing a class you really didn’t want to take…</p></li>
