<p>I am a senior and I took 3 credits of foreign language in my sophomore year. I just checked my email and I got a email from college saying that I need 2 years of foreign languages. I thought as long as you have 3 credits, it count as 3 years of foreign languages. Am I wrong? or Am I skrewed?</p>
<p>How did you manage three credits of foreign language in one year?..
It seems that one credit would be equivalent to one year, because students often achieve only one credit in a particular subject/field per year.</p>
<p>Schools on block schedules sometimes offer multiple years (often two) of language in one year. You need to talk with your guidance counselor if you are in high school and have him/her clear this up.</p>
<p>I thought that too. You probably took 2+ foreign languages? Or your school is semestered and you took foreign languages both semesters?</p>
<p>I had to go to other secondary school after I finished my school. I took 3 hours of it everyday. Since taking 1 hour whole year counts as 1 credit. My language class counted as 3 credits.</p>
<p>ok… as long as your school counted it as 3 high school credits, then just tell the admissions people that it. Don’t they usually word it using “units” instead of “years?”</p>
<p>And I didn’t know that they’d tell you you’re missing language credits lol</p>
<p>In my transcript it counted as 3 high school credits. But University of Washington doesn’t require transcript to be sent to them. So I put on the application that I took 3 credits of foreign language in a year. but I guess they don’t take it. On their website it states “2 years of foreign language” for their admission requirement. I am so skrewed.</p>
<p>Ask your guidance to write mention this (if possible, the midyear report)?</p>
<p>Have guidance counselor call or you should email with this specific question. The college may have seen 3 credits and thought this was equivalent to 3 college credits (like a dual course that kids take at a local college and get HS credit for on their transcript). In general, 3 credits equals one semester of a college class. That would probably NOT be the equivalent of 2 years of HS language.</p>
