<p>Okay so I moved from America to Canada in grade 10 with 2 high school years of french and 4 years total, including middle school (so 1 year in grade 9, 3 years, 6-8 = 1 HS year).
I'm a canadian PR, not a US citizen and not yet a Canadian citizen. I live in Alberta and here, FL is not a grad requirement. I am getting credit for my 2 years worth to fulfill my arts requirement (grade 10/11 French credit).</p>
<p>At the school I attend, there's only a 6/9 year french programme offered and it did not match up at all well with what I had done. My US stuff was more comprehensive and thus I'm getting grade 10/11 credit in the 3 year program.
I like French and I like foreign languages - one of the reasons why I'm applying to the relatively costly US is because they have more liberal arts offerings. I am also somewhat proficient in my native language (Hindi). </p>
<p>My dream school is Yale for a thousand different reasons, but namely because it has a stellar sanskrit program + excellent neurobiology. My stats, ECs etc. are all good and my schedule is the 'most rigorous' offered, minus foreign language. My life has also not been easy and my counselor has alluded to the effects that had on my life. However, I know the US reaches I'm applying for recommend 4 years.</p>
<p>Am I screwed? My counselor didn't mention the course problem in his letter but since I'm getting credit/transcript change, I can ask him to include that information in a letter. </p>
<p>Please help! Thanks so much :)</p>
