<p>I would take Spanish for all 4 years… my counselor told me that many colleges like when students take core classes even when they don’t have a school requirement for them. However, if you have previous EC history in music, then you may want to go with Advanced Choir because it would reveal more about who you are as a student than taking a generalized class like Spanish would.</p>
<p>Personally, I think that you could still get into one of the UCs, even without taking Spanish 3, as long as you replace it with something that shows more about you (like Choir or Theater). But make sure to check your top colleges’ requirements to see how many years of Spanish you must take. If its more than 2, than definitely take Spanish (I’ve tried taking summer courses but they’re so expensive and can actually be more challenging than the class).</p>
