To Ivy, or not to Ivy

Good point (these are grad programs that require languages, not usually undergrad programs). It’s a good idea to take at least one language in college. Grad programs will allow you to complete the requirements after you’re admitted, but it will delay the process. Usually 4 semesters of college-level language will satisfy the requirement, or you might be assessed on reading knowledge, because the point is that you need to be able to do research in other languages when necessary (for my French assessment, I had to translate a couple of pages from a book written in French, and I could use a dictionary; I satisfied the requirement in Spanish with course work).
