<p>I've seen multiple sites state that Stanford requires three or more years of foreign language credits, but the official site that the school only recommends three or more years. My current schedule for my senior conflicts with the number of foreign language credit that I must earn, so I was hoping to show that I have enough ability in Japanese by taking the AP Japanese exam this year. </p>
<p>The question is: must I earn three foreign language credits to have a chance to be admitted to Stanford?</p>
