[quote=Anonymous]Once you've had a long talk with your kid about a GPA being meaningless if it is not backed up with true education and he has to focus on substance not appearance in all aspects of his life, this being one of them, you can tell him strategically that colleges will see right through what he's planning to do.  I would lose a lot of respect for a kid who did 2 years of 3 different languages.  I would assume the kid couldn't hack language courses and, moreover, thought that I as an admissions officer was such an idiot that I didn't know what he was doing and so would be irritated and offended -- not a good frame of mind when then reviewing the rest of his application.   He should stay with one language, do the best he can, and he will end up in a good place with a solid education behind him.   If my kid were being this crazy about course selection, and refusing to listen to me, I might hire a college counselor to give him some advice.  Is this kid also going to refuse to take a decent rigorous English course because he is so afraid of getting an A?  This kind of behavior and attitude could be really limiting to him.    [/quote]
