[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My two DCs who attended UVA did not take a foreign language [/b]in Senior year after completing the highest IB offering. They started in middle school and the classes were reflected on their high school transcript. They both got 4s on the AP exam which their school scheduled despite not offering the AP class. Couldn’t your daughter take the AP test in her language this year even if she doesn’t continue coursework?[/quote]

But were they URM, first gen?  Engineering? Math applicants? Extraordinary ECs?  Each applicant is different. For my vanilla kid, the college advisor said the four years were a must.[/quote]

[b]quickly off top of my head, I know two vanilla OOS admits who did not take AP foreign language (nor BC calculus or beyond)[/quote][/b]

My UVA kid took all four.  The admissions requirement on UVA's page is pretty clear about exhausting what the high school offers, which applies also to foreign language:

1. Take the best program available to you in your core subjects.
Make sure that your class schedule demonstrates that you are taking advantage of all that your school offers. Talk to your counselor and parents to help determine the right program for you. Colleges will want to see that you are pursuing a strong schedule, but they will also want to see good grades.

What do we mean by the core subjects? Those are English, math, foreign language, social studies, and science.[/quote]
