IN A RUSH! : Highschool Foreign Language vs. College Foreign Language for admission?

Applying to College
1

<p>So it's a long story short. I moved to USA in my highschool.
So I had 2 languages at my other HS prior to my movement (outisde usa). Although I had 2 languages, it was only for one year. I think colleges require you to have ONE foreign language for more than 2 years. </p>

<p>I am a junior, so this summer is really important for me.
I am thinking of taking Japanese as a foreign language and complete 4 semesters during summer, and throughout my 1st senior year. </p>

<p>If so, should I take the HS Japanese online? Or.. should I take a college course of Japanese (also online)?
I am taking Jap only because it interest me, unlike other languages. </p>

<p>Which would be better for college admission?</p>

<p>I am not 100% confident that my HS will accept an online course. If I take at CC with very good grades, then would 4 year colleges accept that?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Highest level of foreign language is generally what counts.</p>

<p>College foreign language courses are typically more intensive than high school foreign language courses, so a semester of college foreign language may be equivalent to a year or two of high school foreign language.</p>

<p>If your non-US high school taught in a non-English language, that may be counted by some universities. Native or heritage speakers sometimes use tests like AP or SAT subject tests to show proficiency in a language for which they do not have course work for at a US high school.</p>
