However, it’s generally acknowledged your kiddo will need a 4.4gpa headed into senior year, plus top rigor and 4 years of a foreign language for a shot at UVA.


Most kids do min required 3 years, does 4 years of a foreign language increase chances?


Yes. 4 years increases one's chances, but it is still a dice roll.


Can you stop after, say, French 4 as a junior? Or do you need to take a language class senior year as well, for the best chances?
