I’m going to be a senior in high school and will be taking
AP literature and composition
AP calc BC
AP physics B
AP statistics and probability
And one other elective class
I am currently signed up to also be taking Latin honors 5 (school doesn’t offer AP Latin)
If I take Latin honors 5, I will only have 1 free but if I don’t take it, I would have another free period (so 2 frees)
I have taken Latin freshman, sophomore, and junior year
I am wondering how much taking that Latin class senior year will help me in the college process. How well will it look to admission people that I took 4 years of a language? Is it worth spending time on that class when other classes are more important? Should I take it or take the two free periods and have time to focus on my other classes?
I also have my college essays and another sat to focus on when school starts.
Thanks
This is just for me so you don’t have to follow what I would do. I would take Latin 5 so I can have 4 years of foreign language since colleges like consistency plus 4 years of a language is impressive too especially if you possible want to do medical major in the future.
Having a free period in my opinion is bad since colleges would look at it like your not challenging yourself. This is just me though.
I don’t think 2 free periods is bad, especially given your other classes. BUT more competitive colleges do want 4 years of a foreign language and not having it could hurt you. I would take it.
