Strong/rigorous enough course load for senior year for competitive colleges?

Pre-College Topics High School Life

Hi, I am planning on applying to some competitive schools like University of Virginia, William and Mary, Georgetown, University of Richmond, George Washington University and Washington and Lee.

I’ve also included prior courses to provide context. CW is creative writing, and two courses are required senior year to get the medal and certificate. SALC is a leadership program that has given me a lot of positions, so it is something I am not willing to drop senior year. + is a 5.0 weighted class. H is a 4.5 weighted class.

I am planning on being pre-med and majoring in either cognitive science or neuroscience.

Just wondering if this course load is rigorous enough for my senior year? My main goal was to take five weighted classes senior year.

Course load looks fine except you do no foreign language since sophomore year. Most colleges look for at least 4 years of foreign language or at least reaching the third level. Is it possible for you to take Spanish 4? Taking the fourth level of spanish gets you out of the foreign language proficiency requirement at most colleges, otherwise you might have to take more additional foreign language courses when you are in colllege

Spanish 3 isn’t going to cut it… at least get to 4 or you’re going to regret it.
