[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are targeting top 20 colleges, do they all require 4 years of world language? Is there a way to easily find who all require 4 years of world language. Kid is in high school and she wants to decide whether to pursue 4th year. Thanks![/quote]

Yes. The Common Data Set is your friend.

And where is says "recommended", read that as "required".[/quote]

I quickly went through few of the top colleges website to look at their CDS.
First, thanks for telling about CDS. I wasn't aware of this and found this very helpful.

It seems most of the Ivies require (and also Univ of VA). Yale doesn't say anything. I couldn't find info on Columbia Univ.  Nothwestern, Duke, Cornell, MIT, CMU don't recommend.
 
I am thinking if you are targeting engineering school like MIT, CMU etc..then 4 years of FL is not needed but if you have a kid who doesn't know what they want to do after HS, maybe it makes sense to just take 4 years of FL to be safe.
Now question is universities who recommend, how strict they are about this. Do they right away reject the app if they don't see 4 year FL? Even if they don't reject, if there is a choice between two students (one with 4 years of FL and one with less than 4), maye they would give preference to 4 years of FL student?
