If you plan on applying to elite colleges or Ivy colleges then you need 3 years minimum 1 language, preferably 4 or 5.
UC Schools will accept 2 years but preferably 3 years in 1 language.
Also, if you say Chinese American and speak Chinese at home, then taking Chinese as your language is a loophole that is not looked on with high regard. Admissions officers prefer that you take a non-native language for your AP or SAT Subject tests.
Hope that helps.

Thank you so much. I am not a native Chinese speaker.
