Does not sound like a showstopper , and when you applied (at that time) you were planning to take Spanish again, so big deal it changed. If you’re a senior, many schools don’t give a lot of weight to grades this year anyway (edit: I mean if you don’t go way down obviously, just staying the course is expected). I would drop it and do something to enhance your marketing without a second hesitation. I work in IS with a master’s and think I’d much rather hear that in an interview than that you finished an extra semester of Spanish. (I also had 5+ years of spanish and dropped it like it was hot when I went off to school, banked 8 credits and never looked back. I’m semi -fluent still if I need it.

Good luck , you’ll be fine either way. I’d vote graphic design if you just want an IT guy’s opinion. You could also run it by the admissions persom from Stanford, who I bet will tell you to do whichever you like (and may tell you that it likely won’t matter as they consider so many other factors in their decision.)
