<p>I'm not sure if this has already been asked, but I can't find any posts on it. So, here is my question: How important is taking all four years of foreign language for admissions? Is three okay?</p>

<p>I have the same question because I also stopped after 3.</p>

<p>I would think that all of your coursework must be taken into context based on one’s high school opportunities. For instance, at my previous high school, no one did more than 2 years. At my new high school, it is standard for everyone to do five years.</p>

<p>I took French 3 freshman year, and stopped after that. I hope that doesn’t negatively affect my application…</p>

<p>I stopped after 3.
they dropped the program after 2 and i did independent study french III honors thru university of nebraska.</p>

<p>but this year im taking ap stats online, which i think is more appropriate since i wanna be an env. engineer.</p>

<p>on their website it says aim for these prerequisites and they take every individual situation into consideration. they won’t just write you off for taking 3 years as long as you put another strong class in its place.</p>

<p>i did three years only, this year i made way for global issues and ap european history ;-;
hardly anyone else in my year is taking that course (APEH), since the only history requirement at our place is some form of USH.</p>

<p>glad to hear that 4 isn’t fixed!</p>
