Some colleges ask for 4 years of foreign language in HS. Do all 4 years have to be the same language? For example, if I finish AP Spanish in 10th grade and take French in 11th and 12th, does it meet the four year foreign language requirement or do I have to take Spanish all 4 years?
4 years of the same language.
What if I complete Spanish 4 Honors in 9th grade and AP Spanish in 10th grade?
Then you fulfill the 4 year requirement.
So by finishing AP Spanish I meet the foreign language requirement? @Gumbymom
Yes, finishing AP Spanish meets the 4 year requirement
However if you are in AP Spanish because it’s a heritage language AND you’re aiming for Harvard, Amherst, etc, it’s better for you to show excellent grades in a language that is really foreign.
If you’re aiming for your flagship you’re good with Ap Spanish.
