<p>I would say go with what you want to take (French). Although most students at Harvard have taken 4 or more years of the same foreign language before college, not everyone has. I studied Spanish for 5 years, but decided not to take it senior year, as the program at my high school was very weak. Instead, I took an extra AP science, had a more enjoyable and challenging senior year, and am now a freshman at Harvard.</p>
