<p>Okay, I would really like to go to a nice university someday and I think i have a decent shot at getting in. For starters, I fit the minority status to a T. I am an African American girl who attends a crappy public school in rural Oklahoma. I also plan on entering a math and science career path, and I'm poor. Additionally, I have probably the best EC's i can get in my situation in addition to decent test scores (I had a 30 ACT as a freshmen first time and I expect to at least raise that to a 32 this year, if not higher). I also try to take as rigorous course load as possible, even though our school offers no AP's. I have worked really hard to improve the academic possibilities at our school by getting them to allow online AP classes (which I am taking) and by adding some more academic clubs. I'm also taking as many college classes I can afford. Currently I'm shooting for non-ivy high end schools like Rice and maybe a few of the lower ivies.</p>
<p>Now my problem is, I haven't taken foreign language. It was never mentioned at my school that foreign language is important, since they don't expect to send anybody out of state. Also, the only foreign language our school offers is Spanish, which i hate. Consequently, I didn't take a foreign language my freshman and sophomore year, so can only take two years at max (and I'm planing on doing so), which is lower than most schools recommend. Will this screw me over for college admissions? If so, would taking a college Spanish class help my chances? Any advice is appreciated.</p>
