BUMP- any new updates on this? DC has a FL Waiver. They have took 2 years in high school but the third year is very difficult. He is in a semester class and can stop in January. The college application process is giving them pause on stopping foreign language though- will schools just say NO because he didn't finish. He has good test scores and grades and looking at SLAC mostly.

Reach out to the admissions rep for a school that DC is thinking about and ask.
They will not put a mark next to your child's name - they really want to help you make the right choice.
I might phrase the question as - I am trying to navigate course selection. I have a foreign language waiver due to dyslexic - and have enjoyed the last 2 years but I am looking to balance with some other items. See what they say.
