Second Semester Senior Year- Can I Drop Computer Science?

Applying to College
1

Hi
I’m enrolled in 5 AP classes right now, one of which is AP Computer Science. First semester senior year I got all As and one B which was in computer science. But the thing is, I’m going to be a Spanish/International Relations double major in college, so computer science is totally unrelated to my future. Also, the computer science AP exam is the same time slot as the AP Spanish Language exam, which I’ll be definitely taking. So I won’t be able to take the AP exam for computer science. Also, I hate the class, it’s hard for me as a very right brained person and it’s causing me a lot of stress. I have additionally been working through some hard personal experiences at home.

My question is: would it be ok if I dropped this class second semester and how would that appear to colleges? I’m applying to selective schools but not Ivy level or anything.
Thanks so much!

You need to talk to your colleges about this. We would just be guessing.

Would even me talking to them affect my admission?

No. My thought is it will be fine. You need to verify that because you are definitely removing some of the class rigor.
