@AcceptableName I had no idea that some high schools didn’t let you choose your classes. At my school, which is a small high school in the country and is not competitive at all, students have a limited number of classes to choose from freshman year but after that you can basically enroll in any course (as long as you have completed any prerequisites needed for the course). You basically design your own schedule. Foreign Language classes were not required at my school but they definitely suggested that we take at least two years of it. At my school students who enjoyed art would fulfill most of their electives by taking art classes.
@deyer07 Perhaps when you are applying you should mention how you did not have much control over the classes you took during high school, resulting in the lack of foreign language classes. And then mention how you plan to take a foreign language course at a CCC second semester of senior year.
