"My daughter is currently taking an honors Chinese 3 as a sophomore and wants to drop it and take IB physics and double up on more advanced science classes. She wants to pursue medicine. How would colleges view this "
-If she wants to pursue medicine, then the name of the college that she attends absolutely irrelevant. Then choose the college that will view you D’s application positively, do not need to do more than that. Overalll, any college that matches your kid’s personality and wide range of interests and preferrably also is very cheap for your kid will be the best choice if Med. School is in plans. That was my D’s route and it worked vbery well!
Another thought - I do not believe that there is any advantage in having Chinese (for a medcial student). There are plenty of fluently speaking Chinese medical students (majority of D’s class by far are Chinese). However, have some fluency in Spanish has opened some additional opportunities at Med. School for my D.
