[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess the question is whether you need to take three years of French in high school or just get the level of  French 3 which you can usually do with two years of college and one middle school.[/quote]

I think we have said it may depend on the college, but [b]several of us have posted experience with successful college applications with only two years of language in HS[/b]. [/quote]

This question about language is asked every couple of months, people show up to categorically state that you need 4 years of language, parents of kids (like us) who had good college outcomes with 2 -3 years of language pipe in to say, "mm..not really", and more 4-yearsers show up to drown us out.. :lol:  :lol:

YOU DON'T NEED 4 YEARS OF LANGUAGE IN HIGH SCHOOL[/quote]

I hope this is true. My son has been studying Latin for 3 years in middle school and 2 years in high school, making it a total of 5 years, and he is currently taking AP Latin. He's considering skipping the language next year because the other courses are too rigorous, and I've been really worried about it.[/quote]

Don't worry. He will be fine skipping. If you still have some doubts despite all the the parents posting here but would rather believe some abstract requirement, have him join the Latin Club or some such at school and become an officer or otherwise stay engaged through 12th grade. that should show commitment to Latin.
