[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty solid consensus that 4 years of language is a clear UVA preference.  Follow up question - is it important for your UVA prospects that the fourth year be at the AP level or would Spanish 1 - 4 for example meet the need?[/quote]

I don’t think there is a clear consensus because some people are defining four years and four years of classes in HS and others are defining it as four years of high school credits (where you could reach level IV of a language before senior year). Our school guidance counselors advise kids that 4 years of credit meats the requirement, so it’s really confusing.

Also since when did WL become a core class?  [/quote]

We were told by a college counselor that WL is a core subject She said the ideal is as to take all 5 core subjects all years of high school or until you exhaust the available classes.

Most families cannot afford a college counselor. Expecting kids and families to know something that goes against high school college counselor’s advice in kind of insane. Just another example of the system favoring those with means. [/quote]

Aren't the terms college counselor, guidance counselor, and school counselor all talking about the same thing? Or are you thinking they are referencing a consultant who doesn't work at their kid's school? [/quote]
