It’s interesting that many people are commenting that it’s now how many years of a foreign language you take in high school but the highest level you complete that matters. This is contrary to what I believe (but I’m struggling to account for where/how I formed my belief). I seem to recollect being in an info session for University of Delaware and the rep stating that they wanted to see a kid taking the 5 core academic subjects all 4 years in high school - language being one of those 5 core. Perhaps this was predicated on an assumption that no language was taken in the middle school but I’m not sure I buy that. Both of my kids took two years of language in middle school and will take 4 years of that same language in high school even though the high school graduation requirement is only 2 years (taken in high school).
