<p>I am currently a sophmore in high school, and I'm considering applying to UCs next year. I have completed Spanish 1-2 and finished with an A, and I have a solid A in 3-4. The thing is, there is a new course being offered at my school called AP Computer Science. I really want to take this course since it will most likely be my major, and remove 5-6. When I went to my counselor to do this, she said it would be better to take 3 or 4 years, like recommended and gave me an extra day to think. Should I take her advice? I feel like if I get a 4.0 this year and next year along with a solid SAT score and extracurricular activities, foreign language shouldn't matter.</p>
<p>If possible, take both but if you are aiming to pursue computer science, then drop spanish. It shouldn’t be a big deal and you will definitely not be rejected solely because of your lack of foreign language skills.</p>
