[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is completing his third year of HS Foreign Language as a Sophomore this school year. He is thinking of stopping at three years. He will probably take some AP class of greater interest in its place. Would only 3 years of Language hurt his chances at UVA admission and how seriously would it hurt? UVA is the most selective college he is likely to apply to. He is tracking towards a decent chance of admission in other ways - GPA, Test Score, Sport & Activities etc. [/quote] Not a big sample size but I know 6 kids who are at UVA and every single one of them had 4+ years of language. Some had 6 with middle school. My assessment is UVA is fanatical about languages. My child was off the charts with test scores and grades but only 3 years language and was denied. In my view, it matters A LOT.[/quote]
