I am confident that Northwestern wants to see more FL than this, so I don’t know that the CDS info is helpful.
They mean taking it during High School (yes, I know middle school courses count for HS credit, but that's not what Northwestern is talking about).
And it is a MINIMUM requirement - which in reality means that a kid applying from a DMV high school should do more (at least 3 years).

Yes, I realize that is what NW really wants. That was my point. The CDs on its face doesn’t provide guidance to OP’s question.

Which means you are either bi lingual or continued to take the language in college; not that you took four years in high school.

Where is it in the CDS?
Under admission requirements.
Many top schools highly recommend 4 years of FL taken while in high school

at least 4
some would prefer the full stretch into AP, depending on your subject choices for major.

Is it necessary to do 4 years of language to be considered for the top tier colleges?
