Stanford says that 4 years of a foreign language are highly recommended/ good for a competitive applicant. Since the webpage says “a foreign language”, I assume they mean the same language? I have taken only three years of Spanish, and I skipped one level so I already finished AP Spanish my junior year. So there’s no way I can take a fourth year of Spanish, because I finished the highest level. Is this all that they are looking for, or would it be advantageous for me to take the beginning course of another language, like French 1 my senior year? The only class I would switch out of my schedule would be AP Physics C. So given what Stanford says on their webpage, should I take French 1 instead of AP Physics C, even though I already finished AP Spanish?
