<p>Freshman year I took English, language 1 + language 2</p>
<p>after freshmen year, I gave up language 1 (which i'm fluent in) because I didn't want to get the diploma for that language as I hate the language.</p>
<p>Sophomore year I took English, language 2</p>
<p>However, after sophomore year, I will be dropping language 2 because I'll be enrolling in the IB Diploma and don't want to take IB Language 2 because i feel it will ruin my GPA..</p>
<p>Junior + Senior year: IB Eng HL, IB Language 3 HL (i'm fluent in this as well, but i've never taken any courses with the language, so i'll probably do it B HL or Lang + Lit. HL</p>
<p>after reading the harvard website, it says that students should take 4 years of 1 language.
however, i'm international, and this isn't mentioned for the internationals.
Am I ok?</p>
<p>If you are an international whose native language is not English then the “language” requirement really becomes taking English and proving competency in it. You do not need to worry about the language requirement otherwise.</p>
<p>Is your high school’s primary language of instruction English or some other language?</p>
<p>IB HL in a language is usually considered equal to or better than the fourth year of high school foreign language in US high schools. Some colleges in the US may also accept high scores on AP, IB, or other recognized language proficiency tests as fulfilling language requirements or recommendations even if you had no courses in the language (so that native or heritage speakers can show proficiency without having to take courses).</p>
<p>It sounds like you meet and probably exceed the expectations for foreign languages given that you’re trilingual and are taking advanced coursework in multiple languages.</p>
<p>I agree with the above - the classes become less relevant if you are already fluent in 2 languages beyond English. This requirement applies to domestic students, who usually only know English and are starting from the most basic level when they take a foreign language.</p>
