[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here it is straight from the horse’s mouth.  It cannot be more clear.

She does not appear to say anywhere in that specific link, or on the insta linked within, that 4 years of language in HS is relevant for admittance. Instead she states that proficiency is important to graduate UVA. Hence I don’t think it’s an absolute admission requirement to have 4 years of language, but as some have said, nobody knows for sure. Of course, to be cautious is perhaps prudent.

From personal experience, the number of years can be substituted by demonstrated proficiency: mine took only 1 year (AP) in HS and was admitted.

Sorry, but you’re an absolute idiot. Nowhere in that site does she say anything at all about “proficiency.“. All she says is that she expects students to take classes in all of the core subjects and that it doesn’t “look good” to double up on the core subjects that you’re interested in at the expense of others.  And that is EXACTLY what OP says her daughter wants to do: stop taking foreign language classes and instead double up on math or science.

The right answer here is just so crystal clear that anyone that can’t see it someone who just plain refuses to.  [/quote]
