<p>I am rising senior planning to major in architecture in college. </p>
<p>I recently have a problem about dropping a language class.</p>
<p>So before summer break, I have registered for the following classes for my sernior year:
AP Eng
AP Stats
AP Econ
Linear Algebra (a post-AP math class)
French 3 Honors
AP Phy: EM</p>
<p>But recently I have realized the importance of portfolio for architecture schools and right now I don't have enough pieces for my portfolio and I have more good ideas for my art work. Therefore I now really want to add the AP Studio Art class which I am qualified to take at my school to my schedule. My school, however, only allows a student to take at most 6 academic classes a year including fine arts, which means I will have to drop a class listed above in order to fit my art course in.</p>
<p>I am thinking about dropping french because AP eng is required, and I need AP econ to fullfill my history credits. I will stick to math and sciences because I love these two subjects more than language. I am an international student (first language is Chinese), so I am wondering if I really don't need to meet the educational requirement of 3 years of a foreign language. If not, then I will have to stay in french. But if yes, do you think I should just drop french? I transfered to a high school in USA in my sophomore year from China and took french for 2 years and got "A"s, but I am really more interested in Studio Art than in foreign language and the art class would be necessary and helpful for my portfolio. I am undergoing a hard time making this decision. Will it look bad on my application if I drop french now after 2 years of study? Could you please give me some advise?</p>
<p>Thank you very much for your help!</p>
