<p>Hey, I was wondering, if I pass out of the foreign language requirement (by scoring 4 on AP Exam or 740 on SAT2), then what kind of electives could I take (if i dont want to take any foreign language in college)? </p>

<p>However, is it recommended that I take a foreign language if I’m planning to apply to medical school? Thanks.</p>

<p>you can take whatever you want! Even if you have to take a foreign language, there is still plenty of room for whatever classes you want to take.</p>

<p>i want to take a foreign language sequence that’s two years (versus the reg. 1 and a half) but i don’t know if it’s worth it…</p>

<p>On that note, given that a score of 4 or better on the AP will get you out of the language requirement, will a score of 6 or better on an IB foreign language subject also get you out of it?</p>

<p>Even if you place out of foreign language, you will still have a lot of your schedule predetermined since you’re premed.</p>

</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>

Also, a score 7 on the IB (higher level) or a grade of A on the completed British A-level is considered the equivalent of a score of 5 on the AP test in most subjects; an IB score of 6 or an A-level score of B is generally considered equivalent to a score of 4 on the AP test.
