I am going to be a senior in high school next year and i am trying to hammer out my course selection for next year. I am deciding upon on whether or not to drop one of the languages I take. Currently Ive taken spanish, all honors since freshman year, german, 2 yrs, and italian, for one year. I cannot decide whether I should drop my italian course, especially since I am studying arabic outside of school as well. Im thinking of dropping italian becuase my course load is way to heavy and stressful, as I discovered this year. Would it look bad to college admissions coucilors if I dropped this language my senior year. Is it worth taking this course. All around I have a 4.0 GPA and approx 1800 SAT scores. and Im looking to go the Fordham University, not any of the ivies. Should i drop my italian class? Thanks for reading this thread, hopefully some readers can respond!!
<p>I think so. What does the rest of your schedule look like?</p>
<p>well im taking standard us history, AP calc AB, german II, lunch, spanish 5 AP, environmental science, italian II (?), AP Literature >> does tht seem fesible?</p>
<p>Yes, ditch Italian if that is your least favorite. If you need a rationalization to do so, remember that you will be doing applications next year - and that's like a class in itself for a couple of months. Get a jumpstart on the essays this summer if you can.</p>
<p>And - try to enjoy senior year :-)</p>
<p>i would ditch lunch its way too easy :) ( kidding! ) </p>
<p>Colleges would hardly notice if you dropped one class, you are taking 6 classes thats more than enough to impress your adm officer</p>
<p>Don't worry about dropping the Italian. You have ample language credits and this shouldn't be an issue when they look at your transcript.</p>
<p>thank you all!</p>
