Common App: Language Proficiency?

For Language profeciency - my son completed 3 years of high school spanish.
I don’t think that makes him proficient.

So son is planning to list only English, and not list Spanish. Does that sound right?

No.

Yes.

If he’s used the language constantly outside of school (such as pen pals or whatnot), or maybe has had experience with a Spanish exchange trip, hosting students from Spanish-speaking countries, or even finished AP Spanish with great grades, then only maybe he would be “proficient” in the language, but not really. Otherwise, no.

Thanks! That confirms what I thought!
