[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD stopped Spanish after 10th grade and did get into UVA but [b]she had some other hooks[/b]. She did have to take a semester of advanced intermediate spanish when she got to UVA which was a tough class given she hadn't take the language in two years, but she survived. If your kid doesn't want to ever do a language again, that will restrict where they can apply.[/quote]

I was just about to ask “hooked” then saw early comment. Congrats![/quote]

THis.  Otherwise UVA wants to see four years at the most rigorous level in the same language.

Bear in mind what a PP said above - UVA and certainly most SLACs have their own college-level foreign language requirement.  If you want your SN kid to skip foreign language at the college level as well, please research this before applying.  This rule may have changed but when my ADHD UVA kid tried to get out of the foreign language requirement while already at UVA he found out that the rule then (five years ago) was to fail in the college-level course first (to demonstrate that the ADHD child really couldn't learn a foreign language), then they were excused.  Sounds Draconian so may have changed.  Otherwise, the UVA disability services office was great in accommodations.  UVa believes it is educating citizens of the world who will engage in global affairs and business so need additional languages.  I get that, but my point is the time to find out the particular rules of the disability services office of the school you are applying to is now, not after the child shows up there and wants out of foreign language.[/quote]
