<p>I am registering for senior classes. I am extremely interested in majoring in International Business so next year I want to take a third language. If I were to do that, I would not take a science. Would it look bad if I didn't take a science but replaced it with a language?</p>
<p>Go for the language if you're thinking International Business, especially if you can get an AP level class to counter the science (assuming you would take an AP science)</p>
<p>Eh thanks! Actually we don't really have AP at my high school. We only have one math class for it. We do have college credit though and the languages would go for that. They are also all honors courses.</p>
<p>what language r u thinkin about?
french spanish russian chinese arabic? if any of these go with the language orelse dont.</p>
<p>I would take French, Spanish, and German. The only other language offered is Latin.</p>
<p>I use to debate on whether next year ( I'll be a senior) should I take Human Anatomy as an elective ( may be a semester class, not sure) or go third year into spanish. I've decide ( with my goal of being a doctor ) that I will be taking Human Anatomy instead. I'll also be taking Ap Chemistry or Physics for my traditional science class.
If you plan to attend a school ranked in top 100 ( and this will really apply if your saying decent rank in 100) I would take science all 4 years, along with english, math, and history/ social studies.</p>
<p>Top colleges want to see 4 years of one language. If you can take the AP test (doesn't matter if your classes are not AP) or the SATIIs and got high scores in your first two languages, then a third is OK, but still, I think they prefer depth. You know, jack of all trades, master of none? DS wanted to add Chinese senior year after getting a 5 in AP Spanish, but his school offered a Spanish class past AP and 2 experienced former adcom told him to stay with Spanish.</p>
<p>As for the science, it's not a problem if you've taken Bio, chem and physics.</p>
<p>Most colleges don't care what major you write on the application, most students change their minds a few times.</p>
