[quote=Anonymous]As with most things, I think it depends/ymmv. Each college reports their requirements for admittance, but for any selective school, the bar is higher. In FCPS, MS language is on the HS transcript and the grade is factored into the GPA. And yes, it was bizarre for my kid to enter their MS French class into the SRAR (I think for VT). Generally speaking, foreign language is now considered the 5th core academic subject so the goal should be 4 years in HS, or maxing out the curriculum, whichever comes first. Make the decision that's best for your student and let the chips fall where they may. My college aged DC skipped French senior year in favor of an extra history course, which aligned with his interests/desired major. DC's acceptances were all over the map, but they did end up being admitted to 1 reach (T20). [/quote]
