Only took 2 years of foreign language [in high school, Spanish 4 and AP]

Applying to College

I am currently applying to many Ivy schools as well as MIT and UC’s, and I’ve heard that they typically want students to have taken 3-4 years of a foreign language.

Because my middle school offered Spanish classes, I took Spanish 1-3, in middle school, and only took 2 years of a foreign language (Spanish 4 and AP Spanish) in high school. Does this look bad on my transcript, and if so, should I mention in the additional information section the reasoning for only taking 2 years in high school?

It is not the years in HS but level you Reach. With AP Spanish, you have taken up to Level 5 so you are more than fine.
