[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like most TJ students are shooting for colleges that want 4 years of a foreign language, and likely the AP capstone.  Are many really stopping at 3 years of a foreign language?[/quote]

My DC is a freshman at TJ. He completed French 1 and 2 in middle school and took French 3 online through LCPS last summer, since it was not offered by FCPS. He is not planning to take AP French since he has fulfilled the world language requirement.[/quote]
So he's not going to apply to UVA or other competitive schools?  [/quote]

If you're pursuing a STEM major (like Computer Science, Engineering, or Pre-Med) and applying to UVA from TJHSST, here’s how the world language requirement typically factors in:

[b]3 Years Is Generally Enough for STEM Applicants
UVA does not require 4 years of a world language for admission.[/b]

3 years is acceptable and commonly seen even among competitive STEM applicants—especially from rigorous schools like TJHSST.

Admissions will weigh your math, science, and overall course rigor more heavily for STEM majors.[/quote]
