<p>what would look better for a non-super-ccompetitive student, just looking at schools like UCSC and that range. 3.4 student.</p>
<p>should I:</p>
<p>take spanish year 3, work really hard, have a terrible teacher, and probably get a C and slight chance of B.</p>
<p>take graphic design or some other elective an have 99% of getting an A. have fun. relaxed. take harder classes in other areas.</p>
<p>which is better? dont say getting an A in spanish… out of those 2 options what is better. i know colleges require 2 but reccomend 3, so how will only taking 2 affect me. my friend was in my exact predicament last year and chose spanish and got Cs working hard… </p>
<p>i want to learn spanish actually… its just the teacher sucks, and its hard.</p>
<p>so, what would look beter? and how improtant is 3 years of spanish?? if i dnn’t take it would i have to take spanish in college? im thinkin about majorig in business.</p>
<p>Many colleges prefer three years of foreign language.</p>
<p>However, if you think there is no chance of doing well in that third year, it might be better to take an elective – but make it an ACADEMIC elective (like an extra social studies course), not graphic design.</p>
<p>Even if you are not taking courses in all of the five basic academic fields (English, social studies, science, math, and foreign language) in a given year, you should be taking a total of five academic courses in order to have a rigorous academic schedule. This means doubling up on one of the areas, usually by taking two science courses simultaneously (such as biology plus earth science) or two social studies courses simultaneously (such as world history plus economics). </p>
<p>Whether or not you would have to take Spanish in college depends on the college. In most cases, with a business major, the answer would be no. But check the requirements of the individual colleges that you plan to apply to.</p>
<p>fresh: span 1 A / A
soph: span 2 honors B / C
jr: nothing
sr: spanish 3 or elective?</p>
<p>my friend did exactly what i did and got same grades fresh soph in spanish and took span 5/6, and just got semster grades back and got a C working really hard, while i got an A in an elective. and now im considering takeing span 3 sr year.</p>
<p>but yeah, im not shooting for like UCLA. reach is ucsb. match is ucsc. stuff in that range.</p>
<p>if i dont take spanish, im gonna still take like 3 APs sr year. if i did i would probably do 2.</p>
<p>and yeah, i was gonna do AP Econ and AP Gov (2 histories)
but i also wasn’t going to take math did geo in 8th, adv alg, 9th, pre calc, 10th (did bad), stats jr, and now i have nothing sr year.</p>
<p>any suggestions on the math too haha?? like something at community college? im tkaing 4 years of science, and 5 of history so maybe that’ll help the lack of language and math…</p>
