<p>Hi, I'm going to apply to JHU this fall and wanna no if not meeting its recommended courseload of 4 years (of all subjects) will hurt my chances.
My courseload as of now is: 3 yrs english, 1 yr science, 2 yrs foreign lang, 3 yrs math, and 3 yrs history.
By end of senior year, I'll meet all recommended years except foreign lang b/c I didn't take one freshman year. Will this affect my application in any way?</p>
<p>also, does it count as 2 yrs of science if I take 2 sciences in senior year?</p>
Yes as long as you take 2 year long science course</p>

Depends, what level did you get up to? Did you stay with the same language all year? If you got to 3 or 4 and you stayed with the same foreign language all year, you should be fine. Of course you will be competing against other students who have done 4/5 years so that will set you back a bit (but you can’t change that). Remember those are the recommended not required, you should be okay as long as the other part of your application is good.</p>
