[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been through this with 2 kids and my thoughts are this - unless your student has a hook or some major accomplishment (or unless they completed AP world language before 12th grade), it is a expected that they take world language each year of high school, just as they should take 4 years of all core courses getting to the most rigorous level possible. Stem oriented kids need to do this just like humanties oriented kids need to take ap calc and science to be strong candidates for the most competitive colleges. [/quote]

How do you think going through this with two kids gives you more insight than what college AOs are telling kids? [/quote]

As I stated, these are my thoughts. If you start a thread feel free to limit requested responses to admissions officers, but OP directed this to dcum so presumably they are seeking opinions based on our experiences. Also as I stated, mine is based on two kids having gone through the admissions process recently and seeing how they and all of their friends fared.

This particular forum brings out the worst in posters. [/quote]
