<p>As of right now, I have had Spanish 3. I did not take a language this year, my junior year, because o scheduling conflicts. I don't want to take a language next year either because again it will take up room in my schedule.</p>
<p>However, I do want to dual enroll language. Over the summer I plan on taking a summer course in Spanish. Since that will already be a college course, I will take the AP Spanish test. Is it better to just take the AP Spanish course at my high school or to finish Spanish over the summer? Either way I will be taking the AP Spanish test next May.</p>
<p>Also, during my senior year, I plan on taking some courses over at possibly Lehigh Univ. One of those classes will be a language course, maybe in latin. I'm just wondering if it will hurt my application to only have two years of language in my high school even though I'll be taking language courses over at nearby colleges.</p>
<p>A reasonable college will consider completion of Spanish 3 in high school as “three years” of high school Spanish. A college Spanish course that starts where high school Spanish 3 leaves off should count as more than that, and AP level is usually high school level 4 or 5.</p>
<p>But check each college’s admission pages for more details, or call them and ask.</p>
<p>Yeah, I was thinking the AP Spanish would be high school level, even though they try and convince us that AP courses are college level. I’ll just check out the colleges I want to attend so I’m sure they don’t require more than 2 or 3 years of foreign language. Thanks for replying.</p>
<p>With foreign languages, completing a high enough level in high school (or AP) usually places you into a more advanced course than the beginner one in college. Most colleges have their own placement testing for foreign language placement anyway, since they have to properly place students from high schools with varying quality high school courses and heritage speakers.</p>
