<p>I switched from French 2 (frosh) to Latin 1 (soph) mainly because I didn't like the french teacher and he was the only french teacher in my school. Although I recieved an A in French 2 and Latin 1 and 2, I was wondering how much the admissions would look down on not having consecutive languages.</p>
<p>There probably will be a question in the adcoms mind as to the reason why but I'm sure that if you explain the situation in your essay then they would understand or at the least cut you some slack. (Varies by school and how strict of course)</p>
<p>I was thinking of writing a unique essay about my traveling experiences. I don't really want to devote an essay telling why I didn't take French sophomore year. Without an essay to back up my reason, will it impact their decision greatly, or is it just a misdemeanor?</p>
<p>As long as you get good grades in whatever you decide to persue, I don't think they will really care. If you failed French and switched to Latin, that would be dissapointing. But that's not this. For all they know, French 3 wouldn't fit in your schedule. Don't worry about it.</p>
<p>thanks, I got kind of nervous cause colleges like to see four years of the same language or so they advocate.</p>
<p>I disagree with kwlkwl. Colleges like to see consistancy, but if you made the change in your sophomore year, it really doesn't matter. I think it's your proficiency in the language that matters, not how many years you've taken it! You don't have to explain the change. Best of luck in the college admissions game!</p>
<p>Consistency is good, but you shouldn't sacrifice your life away for college admissions. If you don't like French, don't take it. I don't think three of years of Latin and two years of French versus five years of French is going to make or break (or even dent) your college application at all. Don't sweat it, amacing.</p>
