<p>I posted this is another thread, but I don't know if anyone will see it there, so I'll post this in this thread.</p>
<p>I put down on my app that I was planning on taking Spanish 9 next semester(It's the last Spanish class offered at my high school), but I didn't take Spanish 8 this semester(scheduling conflict/don't really wan't to take it anyways).
However, before break, my counselor told me that there was very little chance that I would be able to get into the Spanish 9 class next semester, because there are 45 kids signed up for it(the cap is 30), and preferance is given to kids who took Spanish 8. This doesn't really bother me in the slightest academically, because I don't have any interest in Spanish, and I mostly signed up for it before school started this year just so I could say that I was going to take a 4th year of Spanish.</p>
<p>My question is this: I got accepted ED to an elite LAC(top 5ish), and I was wondering if I will have to notify them that I won't be able to take the class. Not because I'm "dropping" it, per se, but more that the class is simply too big, and thus I won't be able to take it. I would rather not notify the school, if at all possible, just because it saves time/don't have to worry about it, but would the school need to know if I changed any part of my pre-planned schedule that they saw on my application?</p>
<p>Well... if your school has to send a midyear report/transcripts from the next few semesters... then the college is going to find out anyway.</p>
<p>The best thing to do would probably be to have your guidance counselor send a little note explaining the circumstances, and that it isn't necessarily your fault..</p>
<p>Yeah, i'm not worried if the school is going to find out, because the school requires end of year transcripts, I just don't know if I have to officially notify them for a change in schedule</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that you do. At least, when I got into my ED school, the contract said that I was supposed to notify my school of all schedule changes pertaining to academic classes and that I had to keep my grades up. They want you to do this because when you applied, that's what you said you'd be taking, so the rigor of your courseload might've affected the admissions decision.</p>
<p>I'm not saying that they're going to reject you because of something you can't control, but if you wait to let them find out through the midyear report, they might think you're being dishonest. So yes, do inform them.</p>
<p>I think that you really don't hae to unless you actually tol them "Yes I am defiantely taking the class", if you just said that you were planning on it then you really don't have too. Colleges don't really care about a foreign language from what I heard, so you should be fine. And if they see on your year-end transcript and see that its not their, then they will just call asking why you didn't can you can politely tell them that the class was full and that preference was given to other people.</p>
