yeah like the title says, my school only offers one year of foreign language. I’m a senior and many schools have a requirement of at least 2 years with many wanting more. Will colleges look at me in the context of my school’s offerings or is it over for me?
This will vary by school. You will need to ask each one.
For large state schools with thousands of applications to sort through, you would probably have to start at community college until you had all required admissions requirement courses completed.
For smaller schools, they may take more time to consider exceptions to their policies.
A college will understand if the high school didn’t offer more than one year. Just make sure the rest of what you studied, your stats, what else you did (activities,) and how you present yourself in the app/supps, is at the level your target colleges expect.
I don’t see why you would need comm college.
Make sure your GC specifies this clearly in the school profile s/he prepared for colleges to understand how your school works.
^ Good point. If not the profile, then a line in the GC letter. An alternative is one line you write in Addl Info.
I’ll tell her, but will it still hurt my chances at like top 20-30 schools
Doubtful. Do you think schools will hold you accountable for not being able to fulfill a requirement when it’s not available at your school?
We answered that, 3 to 1, No.
thanks, now I can sleep at night
But only if your gc indicates it’s not by choice, but rather that your school discontinued level 2, and never had level 3&4.
Since most states have a hs graduation requirement if 2 years and most college preparatory programs include at least three, not mentioning it was different at your school and out of your control would imply it was a (bad) choice you made.
