<p>The universities I want to go to either require or recommend 3 years of a foreign language. My question is, does what you take in middle school count? I took Spanish1 in middle school, then spanish 2 and 3 during my freshman and sophomore year. I'd die in ap spanish so I decided not to take it. Bad choice?</p>
<p>it depends if the class counts for hs credit</p>
<p>so it would vary by whatever high school you go to?</p>
<p>I think in most places the Spanish 1 in middle school counts as a credit... you might want to ask your counselor before you decide not to continue spanish just incase.</p>
<p>yea I have the same question, b/c I took up to Latin 3, Finishing Latin 1 in 8th grade (middle school), and finishing Soph Year in HS. Latin 1 was for HS credit though, its seen on my transcript. However, I think im going to take up French to be sure.</p>
<p>if you took it in 8th grade and it is on your hs record, itll count..</p>
<p>by hs record do you mean your transcript?</p>
<p>yeah, transcript, if its on there then its good</p>
<p>The more foreign language you take in high school the better it looks. I recommend taking at least 3 years of language in high school; four would be even better (switch languages if you have to, though it probably looks better if you can stick one out through AP).</p>
