<p>I’ve just sent in my senior year schedule…i can still change it but at the moment this is what it is…(im doing duel enrollment through my hs and a local college as well as a few online classes)</p>
<p>HS:
band {marching & symphonic}
yearbook
AP US Gov’t & Politics</p>
<p>Local College:
Elem. Spanish II
Intro. To Russia
Elem. Russian I
Beginning Sign Language I
Intro. to South Asia</p>
<p>Online:
AP English
Psych.</p>
<p>on a different topic though…for my online classes, im taking AP English just as an online class but i was planning on taking psych online through a college online duel enrollment program. Would would make more sense…to take AP Psych online through HS duel program then take the AP test and hopefully get a 4 or 5 to get college credit OR take general psych through a college online duel enrollment and automatically get the college credit after passing? Thankss</p>
<p>im in my fourth year of high school spanish now…but my first 2 1/2 years i didnt have a very strong teacher and she didnt really care…so i dont feel comfortable in the language really thats why i decided to start at elem. spanish II instead of an intermediate level…</p>
<p>Are you kidding me? Thats it? I skipped my junior year in high school and packed on AP English III and IV my senior year as well as carrying out my duties as the editor, reporter, and photographer for my high school newspaper (note we only had 4 people on our newspaper team). Moreover, during my freshman year in college I managed 19 credit hours, and no I was not taking Art Appreciation I, II, III etc. You’ll be fine:)</p>
<p>Russian, Spanish, and Sign Language? Whoa! Unless those languages fit your future career goals, I would really give things further thought. But, if you are worried about making the transition from Elementary Spanish II to Intermediate Spanish I, then drop me a pm and I will hook you up grammar wise.</p>
<p>The other thing I notice is that you are not taking those tried and true courses which would more than likely transfer and you are leaving math out entirely. Math is fundamental and Universities love it when you do four full years of math. </p>
<p>I think you should sit down with your guidance counselor or even an academic advisor at the Community College and get a second opinion. And, I surely am not trying to be mean. I am just being honest and stuff.</p>

<p>Well now, that is hard to answer. Basically, you have to sit down with your list of Universities you hope to attend and look it up. Some Universities are all, like, “we only accept X amount of AP’s and X amount of transfer credits.” But, then some Universities are different. It all depends on where you are going.</p>
<p>marching2008alto: i was in a similar situation as you were. since jr yr in high shcool i was taking a college class each semester (ended up taking 5 classes by the time i graduated). i got lucky because the courses I took were pretty much general (english composition, general psych, intro to theater, philosophy: ethics, macro econ). now my school took all those classes but only two of them actually got me out of taking them in my university (the others were considered electives).</p>
<p>One way to find out if they accept the classes is by calling up the university. I’m not sure if Admissions would take care of that but they would probably direct you to whoever you’d need to talk to. The other way is by looking up the course booklet for the school and checking out what classes they offer and if the classes you’re taking are similar. chances are if they are similar they’ll accept them. but there’s also a chance that they’ll make you take the class over anyways. even if you do take the class again you sorta still end up winning because you’ll be prepared for the class if you decide to take it again at college so it’s not all bad. and be prepared for delays in processing transcripts from other schools. as you probably can imagine, schools lose out on money if they know that you already took the class at another school so just be prepared. i can tell you right off the bat, unless you plan on becoming a language major or something of that sort then i don’t see the point in taking two languages at the same time (unless you’re doing it because you’re genuinely interested; it’s still smart to look at what you have to get done in college as opposed to what classes you want to take sometimes b/c you don’t want to fall behind either).</p>
<p>That’s too much in terms of languages. Russian is a very, very difficult language and unless the course actually meets at minimum of 4 hours a week, I would not take it. Wait until college to do so. It’d be good if you’d take that Intro to Russia course- that way you can decide if you still want to pursue this interest. I’ve taken Russian and it’s tough to <em>transfer</em> your skills from one school to another, it’s much better if you’re taught from scratch from the department you’d be with for a while instead of jumping around.</p>
<p>ASL and Spanish should be fine together. As the psoter above pointed out, you should take some kind of math or science class to round out a bit (even stats will work).</p>
<p>I would definitely drop one of the languages. Perhaps the language courses aren’t especially rigorous, but if they are, your schedule would be a nightmare.</p>
<p>why should i drop a language? im just curious as to why everyone is saying so…if i drop one, it will be ASL. im intending on going to American for international relations…hence the reason for russian and spanish. id be new at russian but i already have a 4 year background in spanish…im just confused as to why everyone is against russian and spanish?</p>
<p>Not against it…just making sure if all of the languages are necessary. Honestly, it is very hard to learn multiple languages at once and achieve any type of fluency. However, it isn’t impossible and if you believe that this aligns with your future goals, then go for it.</p>
