<p>Hi guys, I have a situation where I only have two years of the same foreign language because of a lot of scheduling conflicts (placed in Korean 1 freshman year, took Spanish 1 in soph cuz Korean 2 was conflict, then took spanish 2H junior year, can't take span 3 senior year cuz conflict) and i was wondering how much does this really affect decisions to programs such as these? I believe I have other good stats-</p>

<p>GPA : Went from a 4.16 in freshman to a 4.83 in junior year so around 4.3-4.4</p>

<p>AP and honors courses taken (and will take): Geometry H, Bio H, Alg 2 H, Chem AP, Bio AP, Physics B AP, Pre Calc H, AP Calc AB, AP Calc BC, AP Lang and Comp, AP Lit, AP Gov, AP Macroecon, Span 2H</p>

<p>SAT: Composite (one sitting) 2230 (superscore) = 2320
1st time: Math: 720 Crit: 690 Writing: 800
2nd time: Math: 790 Crit: 730 Writing: 710</p>

<p>ACT: 35 composite (one sitting)</p>

<p>ECs: President of Environmental Club : brought Green Waste bins to city by conducting survey and presenting findings to city board, also am going to bring reusable water bottle filters for the first time in public school in my area</p>

<p>Section Leader in Marching Band</p>

<p>Volunteered at Local hospital for two years, 200 hrs total</p>

<p>Captain of Academic Decathlon team (many medals from county competition and from state competition) Our team is one of the top in California</p>

<p>So thanks for reading, I don't know how much my lack of a third year of foreign language will play into admission decisions. I appreciate any reply!</p>

<p>The stats look pretty good for those programs, just make sure you have something unique on your applications.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply, I have two questions.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>How much do you think that having only two years of the same foreign language would hurt me?</p></li>
<li><p>When you say something unique, do you mean that I take my participation in my activity a unique way? Like if it was life changing or changed my viewpoints in anyway? Could you give an example of something “unique”? </p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you</p>
