At Harvard in the past you could get out of the language requirement with a 5 on the AP or above a certain score on the SAT (which is why even if you don’t want to submit a language score it might be worthwhile sitting for the subject tests spring senior year if you are taking a language.) The requirements change constantly and are different at every school so it behooves one to check the individual university website is one wants to be excused from a language requirement. Many universities also give language tests at Freshman orientation.
