Seems like level 4 foreign language at that school is AP level, so it is the natural progression after level 3. Of course, this does mean that each level has more content than each level at a school where AP level is level 5 or 6.

She can always look at the nursing curriculum at various universities sheâs interested in and check whether they offer âSpanish for the medical professionsâ after Intermediate Spanish (which sheâd likely have to take first). Itâs a very useful skill to have as a practicing nurse - but since AP bio/chem would be way more important for her 1st year core courses she should definitely prioritize them for her senior year in HS. Level 3 meets most universitiesâ expectations.

In case anyone looks at this thread in the future: In searching various programs, it appears that the University of Iowa requires direct admit applicants to have taken physics (in addition to bio and chem) AND has foreign language requirements (4 years of the same foreign language OR 2 years + additional world language coursework at Iowa). Iowa also requires a 3.8 GPA (weighted or unweighted) to even be considered for direct admit.

Our school also has no Spanish 4 only AP. My D24 really REALLY didnât want to take AP Spanish and was determined NOT to (I fully supported because of all her other APs this year) but ended up doing it begrudgingly because she knew it was âbestâ for college apps. After she made the decision-- to cheer her up I literally said, âScrew the AP test! Youâll already be accepted to college!â Made her smile. lol

However, if she matriculates to a college with a foreign language graduation requirement, a high enough AP score may partially or fully fulfill it.
