Hi, I am a junior and I am faced with a really tough dilemma: Whether I should take AP Euro or Honors accelerated Spanish 3. I really love both languages and European history, and sadly I only have room for one more class in my schedule. I will also be taking AP French as well next year. The trilingual scholar is a recognition at my school that not many people are successful in achieving. It requires you to take 4 years of English, 4 years of one language and 2 years of another language. I am for sure taking AP Econ, CSP, Stats, and French next year. The trilingual scholarship doesn’t link to a direct scholarship, but I’m certain it will help in the field I want to major in (international business). I would really like to get some feedback from people who know more about which path is more beneficial after high school. Right now I am set to take AP euro, but I can still change my classes for next year until the end of January.
Thanks!
Which one would you rather do?
I chose AP Euro for now just because I learn more and I like the challenging aspect of learning history, but I don’t know if taking spanish might be more beneficial even though it’s a lot easier and I wouldn’t learn as much.
You already have four years of foreign language, something that many colleges don’t even expect. Unless you are especially interested in learning Spanish, I don’t see the purpose of starting another one other than the title/bragging rights.
