Foreign Language Requirement?

<p>Heres my situation.</p>

<p>I'm half asian, half white. My father is a France native, and my mother is Chinese. I speak both of the languages very fluently, and I have earned 5's on both APs, and 800s on both SAT 2's. </p>

<p>Problem: I heard colleges like to see 4 years of languages. Will my fleuncy with both of my languages count, or will they look down upon it. </p>

<p>(I took up to Spanish 2, then quit.)</p>

<p>Provided you meet the minimum foreign language requirement for graduation from your HS, and the minimum foreign language requirement required for admission at the places you apply to, you will be fine. Don’t worry about this. Do read through the requirements for English Language Proficiency. If English is really your third language (rather than a co-first language), some colleges and universities may want the TOEFL.</p>

<p>Look up each college that you are interested in.</p>

<p>For example, the University of California explicitly states that your high scores on the AP or SAT subject tests in foreign languages fulfill the foreign language requirement even in the absence of high school course work.</p>

<p>[University</a> of California - A-G courses](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/freshman/requirements/a-g-requirements/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/freshman/requirements/a-g-requirements/index.html)</p>

<p>If you are fluent in French and Chinese, then you should also have no problem meeting foreign language university graduation requirements, unless you choose a major requiring proficiency in some other language.</p>

<p>If the stats you reported elsewhere are serious and you want HYP, good chance they will note you dropped lang after 2 years. Will it matter? Maybe not, probably not, based on your specific academic and EC picture, assuming that is accurate.<br>
Lots of top performing kids would pick up German 3 elsewhere- online or a targeted readings indep study? Your choice. Not nearly as critical as the rest of the holistic considerations.</p>
