2 Years of foreign language

<p>I'm currently a junior in high school taking Spanish 1. Most of the colleges I am interested in require atleast two years of foreign languages, and I'm planning on taking Spanish 2 next year. Will colleges consider the one semester of spanish 2 I would have taken by the time I apply as my second year? (My old school did not offer foreign languages which is why I'm starting late). Also, I am proficient in Korean as i have lived half my life in South Korea, and I am planning on taking the subject test for korean in the fall. Will this be of any help?</p>

<p>When you apply you will write down your projected sr courseload, including a year of Spanish 2. Colleges will evaluate you based on the assumption that you will complete all of your sr classes in a satisfactory manner. That’s why when you get an acceptance, it’s actually provisional, and colleges can rescind your acceptance if you don’t keep up your grades.</p>

<p>Yes, the college will consider that you have the necessary 2 years based on your projected schedule. Also I think it will be helpful to take the Korean SAT. Having multiple language skills is a bonus. Also 2 years really is the minimum requirement at many schools but not necessarily sufficient to make you competitive so that will make you look stronger, already having another language, imo.</p>
