Yes, the whole GPA system is pretty unfair since it can punish you for taking more courses. However, graduating as valedictorian is something that I have dreamt about for a long time, and I am really worried that taking additional Spanish courses might bring down my GPA too much since my class is pretty competitive. I know that GPA is far from everything, but it is still something I want to take into consideration. I think I will go ahead and take at least one online Spanish class, though, because it sounds like it is pretty important for college admissions, and I do genuinely enjoy learning Spanish.
