<p>Ok so I really do not want to take AP Spanish V, and will have completed Spanish 4 at the end of this year. BC requires 4 years of foreign language, but if I have progressed from Spanish 1 through 4, does that count?</p>
<p>yes, 4 years counts for CSOM, and fullfill’s the College’s language requirement. Note, 4 years of HS language will not fulfill the requirement for A&S students.</p>

<p>I’m sorry I didn’t completely mean what I meant to say. I started Spanish 1 in middle school, and will have completed Spanish 4 at the end of this year. The site recommends 4 units of foreign language for admission, and while I know it’s a recommendation, I would really like to follow it. So does completing Spanish 4, even if I did Spanish 1 in middle school, count as 4 units? Or does it have to be 4 units in high school?</p>
<p>Most colleges of which I am aware consider the final course (Span IV), and will give fulfillment credit for coursework taken in middle school. (Two typical ones are math and foreign language.) However, I do not know for a fact whether BC does the same. Sorry.</p>
<p>You might send an e-mail to the department.</p>
<p>I only took 3 years of spanish in high school because i took some in middle school as well. and i got in…so you should be ok. I think that almost all colleges will look to see if you have completed a spanish (or other language) 4 or higher but not the actual number of years because some kids start their freshman year in spanish 3 and would technically be finished by their sophomore year. This was my case and I just took a spanish cult and civ class “pre-ap” instead of AP my junior year, and took nothing this year. so don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>For CSOM, up to Spanish IV is enough, even if you had Spanish I in middle school, or started high school at Spanish II. I don’t believe the same is true for the other schools.</p>
<p>If you complete Spanish IV, you have taken the recommended 4 years of a foreign language, It doesn’t matter to BC if some of those years were in middle school.</p>
<p>However, as bluebayou pointed out, simply taking 4 years of Spanish classes in high school does not meet BC’s “proficiency” standard for A&S (although it does for CSOM). So if you are applying to A&S and don’t want to take a foreign language class at BC, it would be to your advantage to take the SAT subject test in Spanish this year and perhaps establish your proficiency.</p>
<p>I’m applying to CSOM so I’ll just not do it…</p>
