Take the Spanish 4, because you need to have it to apply to top colleges. If you can handle this heavy course load, I would NOT drop one of your classes to take the math tutoring class. Yes, you are probably going to have to show some kind of volunteering/community service by the end of junior year to round out your application to top schools, but you don’t have to give up a class to do it. It’s far more important for you to show extraordinary achievement in something, as you seem you might be on your way to doing, in math or comp sci. If you want to and if it’s possible, you could do math center as an 8th class in the middle of the day, and eat lunch while you tutor, so that you could put down that you showed commitment by doing this for some extended period of time. But you’re probably going to have to come up with some volunteer/community service thing where you recruit other participants to join you in doing something innovative, such as bringing intro to coding in the form of games and puzzles to an elementary school in a disadvantaged area, to introduce kids there to the fact that coding is fun, and thus broaden their horizons.
