I'm sure you meant that as a snark, but it is true for ALL of the top top schools.  The Ivies and top SLACs want to see that [b]the student has availed themselves of the most rigorous courses offered by their high school, which means, of course, exhausting the foreign language requirement.

Really? What if they want to drop AP language in order to take AP Physics C along with Calculus III and AP Chem. Not a hypothetical. This is what my DD is considering for senior year based on her interests. How can swapping out AP language for a second AP science not be equivalent in the “rigor” department?[/quote]
My senior was admitted to a top 10 university with a similar arrangement. Level 3 of foreign lang junior year. Took Calc III and AP Physics C senior year. Did not take AP chem.

Foreign language is a core subject, but it's the least important one. Students do not need an AP in every single core to be admitted to a top school.[/quote]
