<p>Right now, summer is over so I will be a junior in the Fall of 2012. For my junior's schedule, I decided to dropped my pre-AP level 3 Spanish and my pre-AP level 2 French for AP Chemistry and Golf and Soccer. I decided to dropped Spanish because I have had a horrible experience with the teachers and classes. My freshmen year's Spanish teacher was native and shoved work at us while she's on the computer. This year, my sophomore year's Spanish teacher just show uninteresting spanish movies and music so in both years, I didn't learn anything. Spanish in junior high from 7th grade and 8th grade was fun since I had a fun teacher, but I didn't learn anything either....And with French, I had the same teacher for my freshmen and sophomore year, I loved her and thought she was very effective at teaching though she may be uptight at times. However, I heard French Level 3 and French level 4 (AP) will be taught by a teacher who isn't effective. Due to my experience with spanish, I decided to dropped French too. I did not want to waste time in a boring and useless class. I'm a fan of lanuages, I'm aiming at 5 languages starting with Spanish and French - spanish because it's practical and French because I love it. However, the main point is that selective (preferably the Ivies) expect 3, mainly 4 years of the same language, and I only have 3 years of Spanish and 2 years of French in high school. Would my 2 years in junior high count? The two years is only worth one credit though. But I'm planning on learning the languages myself, and scoring high on the AP and SAT Subject tests, so how would it look to college if I quit the class, but score high on the exams? I'll be doing the same for Chinese. Would this hurt or help my chances of getting into an elite college? Thanks in advance :)</p>
<p>I’m sorry, I didn’t read the whole thing. You might want to format it slightly =)</p>
<p>Based off the title, I really don’t think it would be a big deal. As long as you meet the requirements years through the language you dropped or another language, you’ll be fine. Also, some colleges accept SAT/AP scores for foreign language credit without a class anyways.</p>
<p>Are French and Spanish your third and fourth languages? Is there an AP or SAT II exam you can take to demonstrate that you are literate in your first language? That also would be useful information to have. Your written English is shaky. If English is not your first or primary language, you should consider taking the TOEFL.</p>
