[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is only a foreign language requirement in college if you are getting a BA. Not one BS program that my kid applied to out of eight had this requirement. [/quote]

Not true everywhere.  At UMW, it doesn't matter if you are seeking a BA or a BS...you have to have 4 yrs in HS or 3 semesters in college.

At VT, you can get by with 2 yrs in HS for most majors (including engineering and comsci), but a much smaller group of majors require 3 yrs.

As to the person who previously claimed that 4 yrs of HS language would mean that you pass the proficiency test at schools like UVA or GMU, it's not guaranteed that you will pass and not have to take any foreign lsnguage in college.  You might only get waived from the first or second college course and you'd still have to take 1 or 2 semesters in college.

You initially claimed that if you take 4 yrs in HS, you'd never have to take foreign lang in college.  That is demonstrably false except at one school mentioned: UMW.[/quote]
