Years of foreign language?

Applying to College

<p>Quick question...</p>

<p>Technically, I'm only taking three years of Spanish in high school. Once this year (junior) is over, no more Spanish. However, it's because I took Spanish 1 in middle school and I'm skipping level 4 to go right to AP because my teacher insists that I would be bored silly in level 4. So, my question is, when colleges look at "years" of a foreign language, do they actually mean LEVELS of foreign language taken? This has always confused me. x3</p>

<p>I always imagined it would be years. But do not fret, I believe that your AP score should be indicative of your capacity, which is most likely all they care about in the first place.</p>

<p>Yes, they take into consideration the years and the level. I skipped Spanish 3 and took AP, so I technically only have 3 years of foreign language. But colleges see that on my transcript.</p>
