HI. My son is a junior and is looking at Stanford. However, he has not taken a foreign language. Does he not have a chance at all then? he is number 2 in his class. got a 32 on Act, class vice president, student council, NHS, in cross country and track, secretary of key club, he did a half marathon when he was 15 and he is involved with many other clubs as well. the reason he didn’t take foreign language is because he has a great Art talent so choice that as his elective instead. Please let me know if any of the Ivy league schools will consider him without it. (We are looking into trying to get one or two classes done at a community college before he graduates) I am hoping that him choosing to pursue something he hat talent in, which was Art, is not going to affect him.
You are better off starting a new thread @Jenmadden - this thread is 4.5 years old. Most elites do not like kids who have not done enough years of a 2nd language but I cant comment any more than that
