[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just so you know, the more competitive colleges look for 3-4 years of a foreign language at the high school level. It doesn't have to be Chinese. In fact, if he maxes out on the Chinese after sophomore year, he'd need to start a different foreign language just to get his 3-4 years of high school-level foreign language. But if he drops the Chinese next year, he should definitely switch to another language like Spanish or French.[/quote] I think the above assumption apply to the majority of college applicants that are fluent speakers of English language and are learning another language (Spanish, French, Madarin, etc.) as a second langue. I don't think the rule (taking 3-4 years of a foreign language in high school) apply to kids that are functionally bilingual or multilingual (speaks English and at least another foreign language equally well).[/quote]
