<p>How much do colleges* look at foreign languages (as if you did 4 years or 3 years and if you reached AP level) and do most colleges have a preference?</p>
<p>Is national honor society liked by colleges* ( if so, how much of an impact will it have)?</p>
<p>*= mostly competitive ones</p>
<p>competitive colleges would like to see some sort of commitment in the area that you’re interested in which in another word, it’s better to take it for 4 years than for 3 years.</p>
<p>National honor society is a plus, can’t really say if it’s “liked” or not.</p>
<p>liu: a constant refrain in your questions seems to be “Is this good thing on my transcript/resume viewed as ‘good’ by colleges?” </p>
<p>The answer to that is ALWAYS – what else can it be? It’s akin to your asking: “Is a 3.9 GPA viewed better by good colleges than a 3.3?” </p>
<p>Your real question should be “is this thing on my transcript/resume valuable to colleges like X, Y and Z?”</p>
<p>Specifically to your questions:</p>
<p>1) 4yrs > 3 yrs. Always. In every circumstance</p>
<p>2) Honor Society. Mostly of no value but some colleges (not very selective ones) have special scholarships.</p>
