[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please watch Dean J's IG chats -- she addresses all of this stuff and more and will answer questions like these directly.

For A&S at least, she makes clear that they have a preference for at least one AP (or equivalent and where offered) in all core subjects, including world language. World language is definitely not required senior year if the student took an AP world language class junior year (or otherwise maxed out on what's offered; note AP Spanish Language is enough -- don't need AP Spanish Lit).

Dean J also makes clear that [b]there are exceptions to the preference for showing max rigor in all core subjects, [/b]and OP's DC might have a case to make there.  A lot will depend on what others from DC's HS are doing.  But it's pretty clear that they want to see a level reached in HS (AP or whatever is most rigorous) and stopping in sophomore or junior year at Language 4 or 5 if those are below AP is not ideal.[/quote]
Thank you. Much better than the “we know someone who” posts. This makes sense.  [/quote]
