<p>How important is foreign language to MIT, I know they recommend 2 years? I have self taught and tested out of one semester of Spanish before my junior year but this is my only foreign language credential as I did not continue because I felt the time would be better spent on the seven AP test I took that year (self-studied four of them.) Will this look terrible to MIT as it is a tech school and I'm completely qualified except for knowing a foreign language that I would not be likely to ever use anyway? Should I explain in the optional section of part 2 why I did not continue?</p>
<p>Two years are recommended, but not required.</p>
