[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about top universities? Does it matter for those?[/quote]

We've been told top schools want 3 years in high school (so middle school language doesn't count). And that they prefer spoken and written languages to ASL, FWIW.[/quote]

How is that going to work with the new regional programs which mostly seem to only have room for kids to take 1 or 2 years of foreign language in HS?  [/quote]

What do you mean they only have room for 1 or 2 years? All schools seems to offer through AP/IB, which should take kids through junior year. If you mean that you have to take a bunch of classes to fulfill program requirements, students would need to use an elective slot for foreign language.[/quote]

What schools combine AP/IB with lower levels? My child was told by her Spanish teacher at Einstein that Spanish 4 is combined with IB. The only difference is IB students take the IB exam. What’s  the incentive for kids to go beyond Spanish 4? [/quote]

Einstein does multiple Spanish classes with IB, 4 and 5.  It’s terrible.[/quote]
