Dropping a language from my high school schedule?

Okay, so in eighth grade, I took Spanish I. I thought it would count as a high school credit regardless if I pursued Spanish, which is why I took it. Though I found out I had to take Spanish II to get my Spanish I credit. My school only requires two language credits. I want to drop Spanish, and take something like Japanese or French. Probably French. How is that going to look? I’m definitely taking a third year of Spanish. After this, should I drop it and pursue a language I am interested in? I would have three years, and I want to go to a top school and they prefer 4. I’m thinking I’ll do this: take French I over the summer next year, then in school I’ll take French II junior year and French III senior year. I’m thinking I could also take a community college/online Spanish 4/AP Spanish course, but I don’t know if that would be totally necessary.
