Will this look fine?

Applying to College
1

<p>I think I have my planned academic requirements for colleges down fine:</p>

<p>Fine arts {AP Art History, Philosophy 340}</p>

<p>English {English I Honors, Writing Honors, English II honors, American studies (English/History class), Western Civilization I,II, III (English/History classes)}</p>

<p>Math {Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-cal Honors, AP Calculus BC, Multivariable Calculus, Graph Theory, Linear Algebra/Differential Equations, Number Theory, Guided independent studies for credit}</p>

<p>Social Studies {World History honors, American studies (English/History), AP US History, AP Euro}</p>

<p>Science {Intro. to physical science Honors, Engineering Honors, AP Physics B, NASA Physics class, Advanced AP Chemistry,Biology @ Community college, AP Biology, Organic Chemistry, research in Physics/Chemistry/Biology for credit}</p>

<ul>
<li>electives</li>
</ul>

<p>But then I get to Foreign Language (yes, another one of these threads)</p>

<p>{Elementary Spanish I, Elementary Spanish II, Intermediate Spanish I, Intermediate Spanish II @ Community college}</p>

<p>The problem is I'm taking them all in one year. My college transcript will just list the grades, and my high school transcript will put the courses and the grades under 10th grade.</p>

<p>The courses transfer to my state universities with the same credit and placement as a 5 on either the AP Spanish language or AP Spanish literature exams. I can take the SAT II in Spanish and/or the AP exam(s) to prove the classes rigor, but then won't schools assume I'm a native speaker? (Which I'm not) Is there anything I can do about that? Or will they care?</p>

<p>I don’t think they’ll care.</p>

<p>I would find a space to list the courses on your own, somewhere on your application. This seems like an important part of your class schedule, so you should make sure it is noted somewhere. If you do this, it will be clear that you are not a native speaker (which you can also mention if you feel it’s necessary), which will make your SAT II score even more impressive. Good Luck! =]</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>They’ll be on my high school and college transcript. So under additional information or something I should put: “Took 4 college Spanish courses at 2x speed. Non-native speaker?”</p>

<p>Yah, just say that you did an intensive year of study, and actually took all the classes. Not that as a native speaker, you just took the last one and received credit for them</p>
