[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously consider of your child is likely to apply to or be accepted by an ivy or other school that expects this. Decide accordingly.[/quote] Other than Ivys, my understanding is that locally, UVA also requires. -parent of senior who isn't taking language, & did take language in 11th grade which was a mistake for GPA reasons.[/quote] Thank you. I feel like the number of parents and kids that obsess over this vs its actual likely impact is way disproportionate. You need to be a truly unique kid to stand out in an ivy. If you do three years FL instead of five that is not likely to make or break it, particularly if you use that time wisely to do other cool things. If you uniquely want an incredibly narrow range of schools, then don’t rock the boat from what they expect. If you are open to the hundreds of other great schools and your kid doesn’t love foreign language, allow them to enjoy life and do something else.[/quote]
