Language Spoken

Hi,

When I filled out my AMCAS, I listed that I spoke Spanish because I was in an immersion program as a kid (took math and science in Spanish) and took it in HS. I have used my Spanish in one job and one position but I am not fluent. I took Spanish 203 in college (way easy for me) so I thought that that would give the admissions committee an impression that I wasn't fluent. I could converse in it during an interview, but my grammar is not so hot. Is this worth withdrawing my application for? I have one interview so far.

Why would you withdraw your application? If you haven't done secondaries, maybe say exactly what you said here, and send that out.

I've done a few secondaries - one of them, I said that I would like to improve my Spanish to be able to communicate with more people. There are a few where I didn't mention it. I didn't see on my AMCAS that I was supposed to be fluent in it - I thought that since it was usable, I felt comfortable speaking it.
