Thanks for your replies midnightstar, kdog, and gibby. I suspect a likely placement into L1, as well.

Is there a way beforehand to know which professors make for a great Spanish class? Do Yalies use ratemyprofessor.com, or any other sites?

Also wondering if there is a way to get the whole thing over with in one year. For example, by taking an intensive the first semester L1/L2, then just the L3 in the spring?

Or I read that you can replace an intermediate level with time abroad. So would L1 Fall, L2 Spring, and summer in Madrid or Costa Rica do the trick? Hate do drag into the 2nd year still working on the language requirement.

Thanks for your ideas.
