I am a freshmen in an advanced program of studies where I am faced with the choice of either the Humanities Track which would consist of the total 0f 8 AP classes and 4 years of Latin plus I would be taking up to AP spanish. All the classes in this Track really interest me, but My school does not offer Honors Latin which I feel hurts my GPA. I spoke to my Principal & I was given theoppurtunity to switch into Life Science which would only offer me 1 Language but 11 AP classes. Humanities has classes that interest me the most, but I want to be challeneged and impress colleges. I really want to get into Ivy League schools. Which track is a better choice ? I want to go into Medicine or Psychology and Have been told that they Look for the Latin. But would getting straight A’s like I do in 8 AP classes and 4 years of 2 Languages be enough to get me into a good college with possible scholarships? I am a 3 sport athlete already fluent in Portuguese with an unweighted GPA of 3.9 at the moment. Or should I just go for the maximum amount of AP classes even if they don’t interest me entirely. ?

This is a set program at A public school & i do not have freedom to make changes to my schedule. I either choose one or the other. I would LOVEE any and all opinions. Thank youu.
