Hello,

I started studying German just last week on Duolingo, and I actually plan to take the AP German Exam this Spring and make a 5 (crazy I know, but I just want to try anyway). To be honest, German is easier to learn than Spanish as I am actually very interested in learning German. What a mistake I have made in taking Spanish, a language that I was not interested in anyway, in my 9th and 10th grade years. However, my transcript will show that I have taken only two years of a foreign language, Spanish. How will the Ivies, Stanford, CalTech, MIT see this? Will this actually hurt my chances in getting admitted to their institutions?
