<p>hey im kinda new here but i was wondering that since for uc's it says 3 yr recommended foreign language if it would make a difference if i only took 2 yrs of spanish
cuz i really dont have the time or motivation to continue spanish or any foreign language ...(english is hard enough :p)</p>
<p>You really should try to stick it out. Every adult whom with I've spoken that dropped Spanish in HS really regretted it later in life. Seeing that you're from California, I would think Spanish would be almost necessary. Speaking more than one language really puts you ahead in the world.</p>
<p>By the way, if you look around on this website, you'll find that people with no motivation are a minority. You're in territory where people wonder if their 2300 SAT should be retaken, and if that B they had in 9th grade will ruin their chances.</p>
<p>definitly stick with the Spanish.</p>
<p>Si, espnaol esta difful, pero buneo para universidad.
if that was wrong o well, im a first year in spanish</p>
<p>Yeah, that was horribly wrong ^ :P</p>
<p>I don't think it would make a huge difference.</p>
<p>My son. a 9th grader took his final in Spanish today. Afterwards, having eked out a grade high enough to not have to repeat said "I will be going to college".</p>
<p>Take it. Two years, even if both are in high school (the middle school one doesn't count), are not enough for a lot of colleges. A lot of them require/STRONGLY recommend 3. Stick with it.</p>
<p>I am a junior in Spanish IV and trust me that Spanish gets easier. Once you get past the grammar you can actually read interesting Spanish literature.</p>
<p>Even if you're fluent in the language? ^^</p>
<p>It's only possible for me to have 2 years. There are 4 year long classes of Spanish available (Spanish 1, 2, 3, and AP Spanish). Native speakers are usually moved up to Spanish 3 and then take AP Spanish, and then it's over.</p>
<p>I only took 2. I've already been accepted to two CSUs...I didn't apply to any UCs, but if your other stats are strong I doubt they'll reject you for one less year of language.</p>
<p>adhere to the reccommendation of the university for 3 . This is because you'll be competing against others who have spanish III, IV and higher. If you decide to do only up to II, you may not be as competitive, unless you have a over an above other EC's to WOW the Adcoms</p>
<p>thanks everyone for answering but i dont mean that im slacking off, just my other classes dont leave me time for spanish...also im considering reviewing some chinese and taking ap or sat</p>
<p>I think most like to see three years. I'd stick with it unless you're going to replace it with a really good class. (Uh... I hope that makes sense :].)</p>
<p>UCs don't require three (yet), but I know it's STRONGLY recommended and honestly I don't know anybody who's gotten into the top UCs without 3 years.</p>
<p>CSU's = 2
UC's = 3</p>
<p>competition is getting tough now at UC's</p>
<p>Stick with it. It gets easier over time and since you're in California (I am too) it's really useful and I'm pretty sure it's recommended for a reason.</p>
