Hello everyone! So I was thinking about dropping my AP Photography class (2D Design) and becoming a teaching assistant for my Spanish teacher instead next year. Before, I thought I was going to go to art school, but now I want to study Spanish and International Studies and maybe be a spanish teacher. This is what my schedule would look like:

AP Literature
AP AB Calculus
AP Studio Art Drawing
AP Government
Human Anatomy
Spanish 4
Teaching Assistant for Spanish

So before I would have both AP Photo and AP Art, so it’s not like I’d be dropping one of my “core” classes anyways. But I’m really not interested in taking Photo next year, and the only other option I would consider is taking Studio Art 4 AND AP Studio Art, if that would look better to colleges. Right now, these are the school’s I’m looking at:

1. Dickinson College (top choice)

2. University of Richmond

3. Gettysburg College

4. James Madison University

Please let me know what you think, thanks!
