<p>What is generally considered better, a leadership position in the high school newspaper or a foreign language? This is even if you already speak a language along with English fluently. I'm having a hard time figuring out which is better, since some colleges preper that you do a foreign language for four years in high school.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Why can't you do both? If you absolutely have to decide, I'd say go with newspaper..</p>
<p>what do you feel you will enjoy more?
if you love learning languages, i'd obviously go with that. but if you like newspaper, then go with newspaper.</p>
<p>Hm, well I think it'll be better if you have a foreign language, only because its more challenging and makes you a more "cultured" person</p>
<p>Well, I'm pretty sure I can't do both since just taking one would be through independent study. I honestly love newspaper more, but I've learned that colleges advice you do a foreign language. However, I'm already fluent in Spanish.</p>
<p>Then do AP spanish.</p>
<p>I'd say either but if I had to pick I would say leadership in foreign language. I may be a little biased though because I will be president of French club next year.</p>
<p>The leadership is in my high school newspaper, and there is is no AP French.</p>
<p>if you are already bilingual it shouldn't be as important to take a language. take the AP, SAT, and any other spanish tests, so the colleges don't worry that you didn't take it.</p>
<p>Leadership, unless you want to go into a field involving language.</p>
<p>Can you take the AP Spanish test even if you didn't take the class? Also, even if colleges recommend four years of a foreign language class, they won't look down on you if you don't take four years?</p>
<p>I would reccomend the foreign language without reservations or modifiers. </p>
<p>But don't listen to us. The most important thing is to do what you think you can enjoy and learn from.</p>
