Foreign Language Deficiency

Applying to College
1

<p>Due to scheduling conflicts I wasn’t able to take 11th grade Spanish in grade 11.</p>

<p>I understand that competitive colleges expect to see 4 years of a foreign language… should I make up for this by taking Spanish at the 11th and 12th grade levels next year? Will it even matter?</p>

<p>Please help!</p>

<p>Colleges will not penalize for matters outside your control.</p>

<p>But what does that really mean? I could have taken the course, it’s just that I valued two other courses more and chose them instead.</p>

<p>If I opted out of Honors Math and AP Microecon I could have taken the Spanish course.</p>

<p>Oh. You didn’t make that clear (“Due to scheduling conflicts I wasn’t able to take…”). In any case, however, it won’t make a large difference.</p>

<p>This is still a scheduling conflict. Don’t worry about it. It’s not like you dropped you foreign language to have a triple study hall period!</p>
