<p>Do you think it is bad to take Spanish 3 years, and then take Latin 1 (regulars, no honors first year)? In Latin, I'm going to be able to get 1st at State in Grammar....but it's a regulars course. But in Spanish 3 (no honors; schedule conflict) I was making A-/B-. Latin is regulars, but I can make A+/A+. What about for schools like Harvard? What will they think? I'm Hispanic also, if that makes a difference.</p>

<p>Unless if you've a good reason to switch languages, I'd recommend sticking with the same one.</p>
<p>They sometimes even specify "4 years of one language", although not many colleges have that requirement.</p>
<p>I think Latin would be more fun though, also, personally.</p>
<p>I'd just stick it out. You can always switch in college, but for those competetive colleges, the more language you have the better, and a lot of times switching languages is the easy road out (because you're doing the same level twice). :p</p>
<p>I'd take Latin unless, as mentioned above, you want to apply to a school that requires (or recommends, even) four years of one language.</p>
<p>However, I think it'd be a lot more fun than Spanish... and it's obviously something you want to do.</p>
<p>What if I also do the Spanish Spelling Bee? That wouldn't compensate, would it, for the 4th year?</p>
<p>What if I self-studied and got like a 4 or 5 on the AP?</p>
<p>I'd still say take four years of Spanish. Plus, it's weighted. And in Latin you'd probably be with freshmen, right?</p>
<p>Aren't you a rising senior? They aren't looking for four years for the purpose of credit or anything. They want four years of the same language (unless you exhaust wall available courses) in high school.</p>
<p>(When I say "they", I'm referring to the FEW that do require four years).</p>
<p>I'm a rising junior. It's just that I think I'd rather do Latin. Our school is the best in the state of Texas, as we got 1st at state. I feel like I'm not exhausting my school to the fullest if I don't try something new. With Spanish, I don't want to take the 4th year, because the fact of the matter is that I'm lazy. I know you're probably wondering why, as a rising junior in all, but it's with Spanish, I already know it. The reason why I got a B-, was mostly because I never considered that course a class, and did my other homework in it. Whether that is wrong or right, that is in the past. I guess the reason why I wrote this thread, I guess, was to reassure myself, that I had made a good decision, for once.</p>
