<p>Taking classes at a CC is not an option.</p>
<p>Well, if you’re worries that it will look bad to admissions reps, remember that they will receive a profile of your school–They’ll see that your school only offers two years, and you’ve taken as much as your school offers.</p>
<p>However, some college REQUIRE three years. The only other thing I can think of is to learn enough to take an SAT II, take an AP exam, or become involved in a student exchange program.</p>
<p>Can you take an independent study? There are a lot of foreign language online classes. Or you can buy a textbook and study yourself.</p>
<p>I suggest taking a subject test (not AP though). If you know french or spanish well, it’s fair. i suggest looking up some flashcards on Quizlet</p>
<p>I think I am going to petition or talk to the teach… I am sure that I am not the only one looking for another year.</p>
<p>Reread the wording used at those college websites. I expect that you will see the word “recommended” rather than the word “required”. Many high schools only offer two years of foreign language and college admissions offices know that. This truly is not a problem.</p>
<p>
Then it would behoove you to contact those schools now to see what they suggest and to find out if there is any flexibility in their requirement. Otherwise you’ll be wasting your time & money by applying.</p>
<p>I just like to add that when a school says it “highly recommends” something, that usually means ‘REQUIRES’. In your case, you are unable to, which is not your fault. If you can get another year in (of the same lang) awesome! but if you can’t refer to my earlier post.</p>
<p>Obviously, anything Ivy or comparable is out of question because of this.</p>
<p>^Not true at all.</p>
<p>Keep in mind “highly recommends” meaning they recommend you to take 3 years, but not necessarily required. Most schools require 2 years minimum.</p>
<p>Ask your guidance counselor to specifically mention the issue in the counselor reference letter. The most selective colleges expect you to take full advantage of the most rigorous classes available at your high school. If they aren’t available, I don’t think you will be punished for it.</p>
