Why in the world are you wasting your time taking Spanish II online after Spanish V? If you couldn't ace a Spanish II final exam today, without studying, then I question all your other courses. And you are in Florida, for heaven's sake. Get a job in a restaurant, and you will learn more Spanish than you will in your AP class.

Lots of kids learn/study multiple languages, so two or three won't make you super-unique, especially if you are at an introductory level in two of them. Still, it's a plus if you are a language-y person.

As noted, Latin and Mandarin are hardly uncommon in the Harvard applicant pool. I would bet they are both in the top 5 of languages studied by applicants, and probably top 4.
