<p>I know that some colleges require 4 years of a foreign language, but I have a bit of a problem here. Just finished freshman year and completed AP French Language (long story, but I tested into it, didn't take any French in middle school), and tested into Spanish 2 for next year without taking Spanish 1 freshman year. I'll continue to take Spanish till senior year. Will colleges that require 4 years mind if it was 2 different languages that I took? When I graduate, I'll have completed the highest level you can go in both French and Spanish.</p>
<p>I think you'll be fine =) They never specify it has to be four years of one language, and hitting the highest levels in both French and Spanish is just as impressive as four years of French or Spanish. The fact that you tested into an AP language will definitely be impressive as well. Best of luck.</p>
<p>Colleges would not look favorably if you had one year each of 4 different languages. The idea of the 4 year requirement is that they want you to have a deeper familiarity with one language just a sampling of several. You've more than shown that with competence in 2 languages. If any admissions person questions you because "technically" you don't meet a 4-year one language requirement, appeal to the language dept. You're exactly the kind of student who should be rewarded for the study they have done.</p>
