[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Which colleges won’t accept foreign language credits for native speakers? You’re just making it up.[/quote]

PP: I guess I didn't make myself clear. If a student who speaks another language takes an AP or CLEP test, they'll get credit if the college gives it to anyone.

However, if a college has a list of required courses for applicants and that list includes. e.g., 4 years of English, 4 of math, 3-4 of science, 3-4 of a foreign language,etc.  some colleges will not exempt  the student who speaks a foreign language at home from meeting the foreign language requirement just because they take an AP test in their foreign language and score a 5.

Is that clearer?

You’re still not clear and also wrong.

If a school gives foreign language credit for the AP exam it won’t disqualify students from that credit just because they didn’t take 3-4 years of that foreign language in high school. Name the school that does it, otherwise you don’t know what you’re talking about. Even more so, many school give foreign language credit by examination by the relevant college department, which you can pass by learning that language at home.

Look the Harvard policy, which is notoriously stingy with AP credits if you want to educate yourself on this topic, which clearly states: “A Language and Culture AP score of a 5 or an IB Language (HL only) score of a 7 may be used to fulfill the Foreign Language Requirement.”

You look incredibly stupid to claim as true facts that can be disproved with a simple google search.
