[quote=Anonymous]OP-- search this board (and the college/univ board) and you'll find a million strong opinions about this. The general consensus is that colleges have a strong preference for 4 years of language in HS. People will express all kinds of skepticism of this strong preference and there seems to be some nuance if the student gets a 4 or 5 on the AP language exam and stops at that point). I don't have any knowledge beyond reading these discussions for years (2 in college now). But I think its risky to drop language so early. (I used to qualify my comments that it depends on whether the kid is targeting a Top 10 university or a state school, but UMD has been so competitive in recent years, that I think you want to be as competitive as possible even if looking in-state.) One of my kids had a similar time constraint due to a double-period science class junior year and pushed World back to senior year go fit in AP spanish Lang.[/quote]
