^ That’s actually not true, the pronunciation on the listening part on the SAT II is very different from what “normal Chinese” is like. (Speaking from experience as a person who was born in China and speaks Chinese on a daily basis…) So that section was actually kind of iffy.

But back to the OP, I think you should stick with it - I don’t think colleges assuming things should stop you from learning something. I also don’t think that it would be fair for them to presume that you’re taking the class just for an easy A. A lot of people with Asian last names take Chinese, and they’ve never had any experience with it before.
