undecided,
While "foreign language is not a make or break for highly ranked schools or any of the schools your son is going to apply to. ", I would advise any pre-med to focus on Spanish, if possible. It was one of D’s best college classes and absolutely one of the most useful ones. As a first year resident, she is using her Spanish with good number of Spanish speaking patients and had an opportunity to travel to Peru with the medical team while in medical school because of her Spanish, the applicants far exceeded the number of spots on this trip. She had only one semester of college Spanish, but she placed in 3rd year because of her superior Spanish classes in HS. After college, she was able to place into intermediate level of Medical Spanish, that she took outside of the medical school. Incidentally, my D. was also in bs/md program at college.
