[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the college requires it then he needs to take the 4 years. If they only recommend 4 or require less then he is actually better off taking classes that he is interested in. I just attended a college symposium with several top schools and only 2 Ivys required 4 years. Everyone else was fine with 3 as long as the replacement was rigorous.[/quote] Can you say which 2 Ivies?[/quote] If I remember correctly Harvard and Princeton. Stanford and Penn were there too. Their websites would confirm.[/quote] This is all on the common data set in section C5. I'm not aware of schools that require 4 years and very few recommend 4. Even so, my DD got into a T15 that recommended 3 with only 2 years of FL in high school. The second year was a level 3 as her first year of FL was in middle school. You can always explain why you didn't take an extra year in the additional info section of the common app.[/quote]
