<p>I'm facing a major dilemma:</p>

<p>For the past four years, I have struggled with Latin. My grades were:
8th grade: C+
9th: A
10th: A
11th: B+</p>

<p>I don't enjoy the class and decided not to take the AP Latin course this senior year. Instead, I am taking AP Bio (along with AP Chem)
However, I've been told that not taking Latin senior year will harm my college application.
I am going into premed. Will not loading up on sciences hurt my chances? As it stands, I have gotten As in all sciences except my junior year, where I got a B+. </p>

<p>Please help me make the right decision. Many thanks in advance.
(I wasn't sure which section to post this on, so it's in the college admissions section as well)</p>

<p>Well, first you need to check out what the college says. If they say 4 years of foreign language, then there you go. If not, and only 3 are really required, I would recommend taking the sciences. Taking a hard AP that you don't like during your senior year will be very painful--I know what I'm talking about--I suffered through AP chem and only came out with a 3 so it wasn't even worth it. Plus, if you show that you have a strong interest in sciences it can only help your app. In any case, it isn't like you'll be dropping a subject to pick up auto-mechanics or something, so don't worry about it.</p>
