Foriegn Language Expectations for Highly Selective Colleges and Ivy League?

<p>Colleges vary in how many years they recommend you have, but many highly selective colleges like to see 4 yrs of the same language, not a smattering of a couple.</p>

<p>Go to the college websites, most will have a section on HS course preparation on the UG Admissions page. For instance, H:</p>

<p>IMO, at this level of college, having three years of one language is going to be better than two years in two languages.</p>
