<p>So, I am sign up for AP Spanish Lit. this year, and I do not really want to take it, mostly because I see myself using this class to take something that is more interesting and helpful in the future to me. </p>
<p>Would MIT look down upon my not taking 4 years of foreign language?</p>
<p>I want to take AP Environmental Science instead.</p>
<p>I appreciate the help.</p>
<p>Dump Spanish. MIT asks for three years - and you're giving up one class for another challenging class. I doubt that would be a problem at all =).</p>
<p>My son took three years of Spanish with no senior-year foreign language and was accepted. He did take one year of French in middle school, but of course this was not reported on the application.</p>
<p>Beware of AP Env. Science, though; in many schools this course is not really a true AP-level class (though of course you'll take the AP test). Some colleges lok at this AP course choice as just resume-padding because it's just not a challenging class - at least at our local high school.</p>

Same here. The AP Enviro Sci class in my high school is a complete joke. The teachers literally take the students out to stare at and make sketches of old trees.</p>
<p>I think I'm going to stick with Spanish. Thanks for the input</p>
<p>I didn't take a language class my senior year, and I did take AP Enviro Sci, and I got in. So apparently they didn't look down on it too much. =]</p>
