<p>I have the choice between doing a French or Spanish placement test (given that I studied both languages). My French is OKAY (not perfect, lots of room for improvement!) and my Spanish is a lot better. I would honestly prefer to improve my French and become fluent. But my question is...is it better to take a more advanced Spanish class or potentially a less advanced (maybe even beginners) French class? Which would looks better and more impressive...given that I want to attend law school one day?</p>
<p>They won’t care. Really, don’t even worry about it. The admissions process is 99% GPA and LSAT, 1% other, and which language you take is not going to be a tipping factor. The ONLY way it’ll factor in is if you plan on practicing in a region with lots of people who speak one language or the other. Take French if you want to, it’s a great language. :)</p>
<p>I can’t see them caring either.</p>
<p>You could try aiming for Phi Beta Kappa which usually has a language requirement. Phi Beta Kappa criteria differs from school-to-school, but I’ve found that larger schools usually put in a language requirement (typically 2+ semesters).</p>
<p>Besides that, it wouldn’t necessarily be impressive but more for utility, unless you were doing international law. Spanish would be useful if you were in the US.</p>
