[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two for sure, which he has.

Four to be safe.

Sometimes you just need to make your choice and see what happens. He’ll certainly get in somewhere. [/quote]

He has 4 years, if you count high school courses taken in middle school since he took Spanish I in 7th . Does that count? [/quote]

The answer is, it depends on the college. Princeton says they want to see you take four years of one language in your four years of high school. UVA seems to have a similar requirement. But what he’s already done is enough for most colleges. [/quote]

Even that depends.  Mine applied to a T10 college that preferred 4 years of language and social studies.  Had 3 of each due to scheduling issues with magnet program and school discontinuing 4th year of language. Got in. Know several other students there that did not have the preferred number of courses on a subject.

If he feels strongly about it, take chem and ask if counselor would write that he was unable to take Spanish due to scheduling conflict. If so, he should also enter that in common app in additional info section. [/quote]
