So I’ve been brushing up on my Mandarin after learning it for the first two years of high school. I wanted to go back to learning Mandarin ever since the 3rd level Mandarin class couldn’t fit into my junior year schedule.

I’m currently a junior (class of 2016) and I have decided to take a Mandarin class in a community college this summer. Since Junior year is when I have to start thinking about university, I want to know if the class will affect my overall GPA or is the class going to be for brownie points on the sidelines.

Well, it won’t hurt you and if you do well it should bring your weighted GPA up.

Thanks for your answer :slight_smile: Btw, if I get an A in the course, would it be worth four points or five points?

It totally depends on your HS and how they weight.
