However, it’s generally acknowledged your kiddo will need a 4.4gpa headed into senior year, plus top rigor and 4 years of a foreign language for a shot at UVA.

Most kids do min required 3 years, does 4 years of a foreign language increase chances?

Yes. 4 years increases one's chances, but it is still a dice roll.

Can you stop after, say, French 4 as a junior? Or do you need to take a language class senior year as well, for the best chances?

4. years gives the boost …..but no guarantee that a kid will still get in.
In short yes its best to take it… all 4 years.
