<p>Okay, so I was in Spanish III online last semester and maintained a 97%; however, I felt I really wasn't learning in it and that the quality of the course was eh, so I decided to take a new course online: AP European History. Will this look bad that I switched out of a language??? Our school doesn't offer any more than Spanish II anymore</p>
<p>Actually, yeah. Most schools prefer 4 years of a language, but 3 years are also fine. Doing only 2 years is not that impressive.</p>
<p>Yeahh we don’t offer anything else. I was thinking about taking French I or II next year or something</p>
<p>I guess take French next year, then. That might work, but colleges prefer to see continuation of the same language.</p>
<p>Oh, I do plan to continue it in college of course. I got pushed back in 9th grade and had to take spanish I again despite a 97% in the first year because of lack of classes. I really loved Spanish until it was online and then you can’t speak with anyone else.</p>
<p>I mean in high school. They don’t care if you take it in college. They really just want to see 3-4 years of the same foreign language in high school. Why don’t you try dual enrolling at a local community college so that you can continue Spanish, and you would be able to talk with real people. This is a possible solution.</p>
<p>I’ll already be taking: </p>
<p>Honors Chem I, II
Genetics, Cell biology
English literature, English composition
Macroeconomics, microeconomics
Calculus II, Statistics
Calculus based Physics I, II
Fundamentals of Art
AP european history B or something</p>
<p>The Spanish at the CC is four days a week, interferes, and it would ruin my whole schedule.</p>
<p>In one year, or are some only a semester?</p>
<p>What do you mean?</p>
<p>Are the classes you listed all for one year, meaning they take up 2 semesters, or are they all 1 semester long classes?</p>
<p>They’re all a year long, I put in order of what I would replace with something else. For example, I would replace genetics with cell biology after the 1st semester. </p>
<p>It really is all going to be dependent on how much I can afford as this university will cost me a lot of gas money to attend for dual enrollment. I really just want to take a more challenging course load that will show Ivys and other prestigious universities that I can handle it. </p>
<p>I could take Intermediate spanish I and II there to show continuation, but I’m not exactly sure how much I can afford. </p>
<p>These classes are at two different colleges close to each other. Yes, I have checked timing.</p>
<p>So they’re not a year long, because the comma signifies that they are only a semester long. </p>
<p>Is dual enrollment free for you? If so, you should take the chance seeing as you only have 3 rigorous classes (Calc, Calc-based physics and AP Euro).</p>
<p>How do I only have 3 rigorous classes? Macro and microeconomics is like AP macro and micro. Genetics and Cell biology is twice as hard and in depth as AP Biology because AP bio is the prereq. Honors Chem I and II, I was told, is more in depth than AP chem because it is specifically for chem majors. Soo I don’t know what you mean by three rigorous classes…?</p>
<p>No they’re not free. 327 per credit hour. I’ve been working 22 + hours a week for a while now just so I can pay for them in the future</p>
<p>Since they aren’t AP, with the exception of Calc and Calc-based physics, they just won’t be seen as very rigorous. The admissions office won’t see the actual coursework, just the title and level of the class. </p>
<p>Oh. Then I guess, don’t do the dual enrollment, since it’s so expensive.</p>
<p>Actually, I’m not sure if you know what you’re talking about, because I’ve already been told that those classes are a great choice as they require a lot of studying, even more than any AP class in high school does, with the exception of maybe Physics C. They won’t be seen? though… They’re college admissions officers. They’ve seen it all. They know what genetics and cell biology courses are, and I’m pretty sure they know they come after AP bio meaning I’m pushing forward with my interests in biochemistry and medicine. </p>
<p>I don’t give up just because something is expensive. I want to challenge myself, and whatever that means I’ll do it.</p>
