<p>I will probably only have 3 credits of World Language. Is that enough for top colleges?</p>
<p>I think they’d prefer 4 years, but 3 is still pretty good.</p>
<p>So many students in this country are taking at average 3 years, actually, that it is not actually going to be strong enough for them top ones, sadly college admissions are getting more and more competitive each year.</p>
<p>I personally don’t think it is enough. I strongly, STRONGLY recommend taking an AP of your foreign language you would be taking now and hopefully AP English Language, knowing those two languages at a decent amount of level…is huge. </p>
<p>It will not only help you for college, it will help you with your life, at a very most likely chance. Do not ever, and I mean ever stop taking any Math, Foreign Language, English, and Science courses in high school, especially for top universities.</p>
<p>I know that foreign language can be a pain, but you just have to practice practice practice. 4 years or more of foreign language, with AP, is highly recommended now. Make sure to take that AP by senior year. </p>
<p>A timeline I am doing currently now (just to give you an idea) is; Middle School, Spanish 1-2, 9th, Spanish 3-4, 10th, Spanish 5-6, 11th, AP Spanish Language, 12th, AP Spanish Literature. </p>
<p>Good luck! (:</p>
<p>Most schools only require 2 years of foreign language, but its recommended to take 3. There are only a couple of schools that require 4.</p>
<p>Thanks. I’m asking because I’m skipping from Chinese 2 (freshman year) to Chinese 4 (sophomore year), but if I take AP Chinese in junior year, then I’ll have too many APs (6 I think). I’ll try to work AP Chinese into my schedule, but the way I see it I won’t be having fewer than 5 APs in junior year.</p>
<p>You’ll have finished level 4, which is more than adequate. If you can shift one one the AP’s to senior year to accommodate AP Chinese, fine. If not, that’s fine too. I wouldn’t suggest trying to cram in 6 AP’s.</p>
