<p>Sometimes, at night, I start crying because I didn’t start taking French until sophomore year. I just start thinking about it and like, I find all these ways in which that lack of enrollment will cause so many misfortunes in my life. I need a therapist or something. I just felt like maybe some other high schoolers on here have similar feelings of regret. I made other wrong decisions regarding course selection but if I get into that too I’ll start weeping again. Help.</p>
<p>lol honestly it doesn’t matter, sometimes I think back and wonder what would have happened if I had taken more APs maybe I would’ve gotten into Columbia or Stanford or some **** but then I realize that I’m going to college and at college it means next to nothing and once you’re out no one will care what classes you took in high school. If the only thing you care about is what colleges think you can self study it. I self studied two AP classes and got 5s on both but honestly one or two classes isn’t going to change much</p>
<p>It’s not that big of a deal – don’t worry :)</p>
<p>Can’t you take two years of French in one year or something? Besides, it’s not like a college would reject you solely because you had three years of foreign language instead of four.
I wish I could go back in time and do more ECs and choose my courses more wisely (I didn’t take any honors classes freshman year), but things are how they are.</p>
<p>oh goodness. no, it’s FINE. don’t worry so much over things you can’t change now. it’s not healthy. let alone things that don’t even matter.</p>
<p>if that’s the only ever HS sceduling mistake you ever made, count your blessings. most make many more. I’ve made TONS, and I don’t spend my time pondering on it.</p>
<p>Are you serious?</p>
<p>… not sure if ■■■■■ …</p>
<p>I decided to quit latin after 7th grade, meaning I had no choice to take it in high school, at all. Now I want to study classics at university, but that’s impossible without a classical language. I may have messed up my future because of a stupid decision I made, although I’ve never cried about it.</p>
<p>^
So, what, if someone’s high school didn’t offer Latin/Greek at all they would never be able to study classics in college?</p>
<p>Yep, unless they studied it out of school to a high enough standard, which some people do. But I hadn’t thought about this last year, this year my schedule was too full and for the next two years I’m going to be at boarding school, so it won’t be possible.
This is only colleges in the UK, but that’s where I’d want to stay if I did choose classics or ancient history. And there are a few that offer courses without languages, but they’re few, very competitive and still low ranked colleges.</p>
