Four Years of a Foreign Language??

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I took Spanish 1 in 7th grade, Spanish 2 in 8th, Spanish 3 in 9th, and Spanish 4 in 10th. Would it look better to colleges if I continued on to DP Spanish HL or took IB/DP ab initio Chinese? I am entering 11th grade so I am subject to only take Chinese for 2 years. I'm asking about elite, highly selective colleges. Because I've fulfilled the requirement of 4 years of a language, I question whether colleges would want trilingualism or "advanced" fluency in 2 languages.</p>

2

<p>Master of one over adequate at two. </p>

3

<p>Continue with Spanish</p>

4

<p>spanish</p>

<p>2 years of Chinese will not make you trilingual. Stick with Spanish.</p>

<p>I think that more Spanish would be better. If you could somehow take 4 years of both, that would be impressive to me. Sadly, that’s not how colleges work. </p>
