How many years of spanish?

Applying to College
1

<p>So right now I'm a junior and I don't know if I should continue taking Spanish senior year. After this year, I will have completed Spanish 4. I know a lot of colleges want 4 years of foreign language, does completing through spanish 4 count even though I only did three?</p>

<p>Also, the reason I don't want to take Spanish is because I really wanna take AP Euro, which I think I could get a lot out of. Plus, I don't see the point in continuing in spanish because 1. i'm not gonna major in it 2. not taking AP exam 3. i speak well enough to be understood (i think). </p>

<p>So basically, my question is whether colleges will require me to take Spanish 5, which would be my fourth year of spanish (i started in spanish 2 freshman year)</p>

<p>Anyone went through this before or any advice? XD</p>

<p>I stopped at Spanish 3 and got accepted to top UC schools. So Spanish 4 is already pretty good. Not sure any college require Spanish 5.</p>

<p>a2npersuas2n - it really depends on the colleges you are applying too. my D is in the exact same situation - started Spanish 2 in 9th grade. she asked several colleges and got a variety of answers. some said Spanish 2-4 in HS is enough, others wanted 4 years of HS spanish (spanish 1 in middle school doesn't count). so my advice is email the admissions office at a few schools you are thinking of applying to.</p>
