[quote=Anonymous]Huh? I'm British, took four A-Levels, did a univ course in a subject I hadn't studied at A-Level, in the 90s. Moreover, the UK univ admissions system, via UCAS, seems far more flexible now than it was 30 years ago. Agree with pp above that it's not a bad idea to take a Cambridge language exam in Nov of senior year from DCI rather than waiting to take a SL or HL IB language exam in June of senior year. Cambridge gives AS-Level exams (half an A, level comparable to IBD SL) and A-Levels (comparable to IBD HL). It's also a good idea for the kid to take the AP exam for their language at a different school after doing some specific prep. Sidwell Friends, BASIS, Gonzaga, J-R and Walls give AP Chinese in DC and many schools give French and Spanish. Just not difficult for outside students to sign up via the College Board web site.
