Should I continue taking French in high school?

Applying to College
1

Okay, here’s the dilemma.

I have been taking French classes since I was about four years old, every year up until now (I’m a Junior - and I’m taking French because I’m in Toronto, Canada, and French is our second official language.)

Now, I know that I will probably never use French in my life after I graduate (or very, very little) because I hope to major in something like computer science or business (but business primarily within the US and possibly Canada.)

Should I take French next year in my Senior year as well? I am not doing terribly good in it, neither am I doing terribly bad though. Does it show some sort of diversity for when I apply to colleges such as Stanford? Or should I remove French from my Senior year course list and instead fill it with something that cou ld benefit me even more, such as Data Management or Computer Science?

I know that some American students face a similar dilemma sometimes, too, because US high schools I believe have Latin and Spanish classes?

Thanks in advance! :smiley:

<p>I have read that having four years of the same language is very important. Courses are broken down into core areas: English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Foreign Language. I would recommend taking the French.</p>
