1. Depends on the school’s policy, but 99% of the time yes.

2. It depends on the schools you are aiming for. Ivy League schools will want 4 (unless their is a scheduling conflict you can’t work around or something), while other schools may only require 2 or 3 and not care about any additional years. For now, you should just plan on taking Spanish for at least your Freshmen and Sophomore years, then do some research throughout the next two years and decide based on the schools you choose how Junior and Senior year should look.

3. If those are your only choices in classes and you are taking all possible honors courses, you should be fine. Colleges understand if certain courses weren’t offered where you attended school.

4. That depends. Have you considered college majors/future professions? I would recommend different courses for a future scientist than I would for a future dancer. Some general advice would be to just take the hardest courses you can be successful in that relate to what you want to do in the future (or just fulfill graduation requirements). You could also consider picking up a fine art if you are into that. For me, marching band was a great way to make a lot of new friends fast, which you might want when you switch schools.

By the way, make sure you aren’t selling yourself short. Don’t resign yourself to “I’ll get half A’s and half B’s”. Aim for a 4.0, and even if that doesn’t happen this semester, keep reaching for the highest grades possible. A lot of people I know could easily get straight A’s, but don’t because they discourage themselves and procrastinate. Always do your best!
