My freshman daughter is making her schedule for next year. We are in Texas, and she will have completed the two years of foreign language necessary to graduate. She does not want to continue in Spanish, and currently has AP World History, AP Statistics, and AP CS principles on her schedule (in addition to the core curriculum - chemistry, precalculus, English,etc.).
She wants to major in engineering, and we will not be applying to Ivy Schools. (We will not qualify for financial aid, and I don't want to pay $60,000/year for school.) Her counselor suggested that she take Spanish III, but I don't see the point, if she takes accelerated math/science classes. Junior year she will take AP Chem, AP Calc BC, and AP Physics I. Senior year: Calculus III, AP Physics C, and possibly Organic Chem. She will probably take another year of AP Computer Science and AP Env. Science.
She is a bright kid - scored 1470 on the PSAT; SI 219. So, do any of you think that Spanish III is necessary?
