<p>Hi everyone! I've recently been struggling with some decisions over my course selection for my junior year of college coming up this fall. I'll be my first spending a semester in DC, but its the spring that giving me a bit of trouble right now. During my sophomore year I declared a second major which required a foreign language, and I've spent most of the summer (since mid-June) being privately tutored in it. Right now, I'm toying with the option of petitioning to enter the beginning language course of this language at my school during the second semester when i return from DC, however I'm a bit concerned about how my taking what's technically a "beginning" course during my junior year may look to law schools, particularly in the top 10-7. My gpa is in the 3.9 range and I've only taken 4 other "intro classes before, (three during the first semester of my freshman year, one of which was required for my major, the fourth was a one credit "intro dance" class I took over the summer at my local university). Part of my reason for possibly enrolling in the class is that I am hoping to go on an abroad program next summer, and i would need a full year of the language (or the equivalent) to be eligible. Would colleges view one semester of a beginning language course as an "easy" class, assuming I balance it well with other more advanced courses? Thanks for any input/advice!</p>
<p>Law schools won’t care.</p>

<p>Jesus Christ no they won’t care. </p>
<p>Taking multiple intro courses junior/senior year and never pursuing anything higher than intro level in the subject matter = POTENTIALLY slacking off. </p>
<p>Taking one intro course followed by higher level courses and real world application of subject = not slacking off.</p>
