Foreign language recommendation

[skieurope]

I apologize if this question has been asked before.

Many, many times. But we still like to help.

Have I met the “4 year” recommendation?

For the vast majority of colleges, yes. HS level completed is equivalent to HS years studied. I do wish colleges would be more explicit about this topic on their websites. Claremont McKenna is one that does spell it out:

The following are the minimum secondary school requirements:

1. four years of English;
2. three (preferably four) years of mathematics;
3. at least three years of a foreign language (this can be three total years or up to the third level);
4. at least one year of history;
5. at least two years of science (Management Engineering candidates and prospective science majors should have taken physics and chemistry).

If you still have doubts, ask the colleges in which you are interested.
