Here’s to clarify everyone’s questions/ concerns: I have taken 3 Spanish classes, having started at Spanish 2 (my district counts our 3 years of Middle school Spanish as Spanish 1). Majors I’m interested in are Film Production, English, History, Econ, and computer science a little bit. The top two choices at the moment are USC and BU, neither of which specify a strict 4 years of foreign language or science, instead saying “at least 2” or “2-4”. But I still need to visit many places & will likely end up applying to schools that DO recommend 4 years of either. For science I want to emphasize that due to being placed ahead after middle school, I have already completed Bio, Chem and Physics, which is what most schools seem to indicate is what they’re really looking for an applicant to have finished. There’s no AP Enviro at my school, so my options are Physics 2 AP/ Chem 2 AP/ Bio 2 AP (which I will not even entertain taking) or Anatomy H which really just seems irrelevant to my interests.
Maybe it would help to see the whole 12th grade schedule w/o tripling up:
8 slots:
Math- AP Comp Sci Principles ( I’ve already done a non AP Calc course, roughly = calc AB)
Eng- AP Lit and Comp
Social Science- AP Macroeconomics
Social Science-AP Psych
Language- AP Spanish 5
Science- None
Elective- Broadcasting full year (have taken this every year and is main source of film interest)
Elective- Semester U.S. 1945 to Present culture history, Semester Film Appreciation
Elective- Semester study hall, semester business
