<p>I did not continue with my foreign language this year because I wanted to take two science courses. I am already fluent in a language other than English, and Spanish did not appeal to me, so I stopped after taking Spanish 4.</p>
<p>I was browsing potential colleges that I want to strive for, and came across Cornell University. They want three years of foreign language. How much will this affect me?</p>
<p>Isn't Spanish 4 already four years of language?></p>
<p>Seeing as you've taken through Spanish 4, and they only want three years, I really don't think it will be much of a challenge.
(Personally though, you really should keep going with Spanish. I felt like Spanish 5 was just the best year because finally it all came together in my mind. And so many ppl speak Spanish now! Ok, enough with the lecture.) </p>
<p>However, I feel like most elite colleges don't really consider it that special if you are bilingual because of your family situation, rather than your own hard work. (Even though I know living in a bilingual family is crazy tough). I'm not sure, what do other ppl think?</p>
<p>Spanish 4 means 4 semesters of Spanish, though.</p>
<p>That is very weird, and seems like kind of a big issue for Cornell. Solutions, anyone?</p>
<p>Spanish 4 is four years of Spanish.</p>
<p>(Our school doesn't have anything above Spanish 4 besides AP)</p>
<p>Sylenteck0 - Hmm, then they name it oddly at our school. So I guess at your school, I'd be level 2 Spanish.</p>
<p>I suppose that I could always go to the community college and take more Spanish courses there, but I'd rather not unless it's necessary. I have always been passionate about biology and chemistry, while Spanish seems boring.</p>
