<p>I want to major in Japanese and I have taken it for five years, but here's the issue. Our classes move very, very slowly. I'm in AP now but compared to other schools I feel like I'm barely in Japanese 2 or 3. (Japanese 2 at the university level - my brother took it at his college and knew a lot more than I did by the time I was in Japanese 4 at my school). I wouldn't feel comfortable calling myself proficient, but I'm really worried it'll look bad if I don't list myself as proficient on my common app. What should I do?</p>
