<p>I an currently a senior and I switched schools when I was a sophomore. I decided to drop my Spanish 3 class at my new school because it was simply too far ahead of what I learned at my old school. I am also currently in Chinese 1 so I've taken 2 years of the same foreign language (Spanish) and 1 year of Chinese.
Other than that, I have a 32 ACT, 3.99 GPA (unweighted) and many extracurriculars/volunteer hours. My essay, in my opinion, is good also.
So my question is whether or not my lack of foreign languages classes will be viewed negatively by admission officers at schools such as Harvard, Princeton, Wesleyan or Yale. I am really enthused about Chinese and I joined the Chinese club this year. Is there any other way I can "make-up" for this negative aspect of my application?</p>
<p>Typically, the highest level completed is the most important part of your high school foreign language course work, from a selective college’s point of view.</p>
<p>It’s the best to continue with your first-chosen second language. </p>
<p>Top schools will generally prefer that you go as far as possible in one foreign language and not dabble here and there.</p>
