<p>I STRONGLY suggest you drop the AP Bio and take 4r years of French HS , or at least through the highest level level taught at your HS, if they do not offer AP French. The Ivys do NOT look at classes you took in middle school. You will have tons of competition for the few spots P offers.
And in general - any “recommendations” that are suggested by top colleges SHOULD be read as “required”, if you have the ability to take them.</p>
