[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if this is helpful but.. one of my kids took three years of foreign language and got into multiple top SLACs. We actually argued about that 4th year and I emailed an admissions officer who told me the following: First, my kid was not taking Spanish 1-3. She had taken a full schedule in middle school so her level was higher. He said that they look at that favorably. Second, that since my kid was foregoing Spanish to take additional a second difficult science, there was no issue. The concern is about taking easy classes. So by that I understand that: Three years is probably better than 2. If your child's foreign language level is higher than introductory, that is also good. If your child is substituting difficult science/ math or coursework in an area of focus, that could also be important. [/quote]
