[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI - Colleges want to see a minimum of 2 years of a foreign language in high school. No matter how far your child gets in foreign language in middle school, they will need to take at least two years in high school to meet the college acceptance requirements for many schools.[/quote]
Can you name a specific college where this is the case?  I have heard that this is not really true. If your DC takes 3 years in MS and Language 4 in HS I have heard that this is fine for any college.  They do not need to take Language 5.[/quote]

It is absolutely true-every single college that my DS applied to had this requirement. Perhaps some schools may waive this due to a diagnosed learning issue, but you need to check. I can't list all of the schools because most require foreign language taken in high school. Your best bet is to speak with a college counselor or your child's high school counselor and they can give you more information. [/quote]

Name a school, please.  I have heard from multiple sources that this is not true even though folks keep claiming that it is. Not saying you are wrong but would just like to check a few. It is not true at College Park, Michigan and Clemson for example. Can you just list one or two?[/quote]
