I have actually been trying to research this for my oldest too. Foreign Language is not a strength for him. He took French 1 in 7th/8th, so he’s in French 3 as a sophomore. I know he’d love to just stop and focus on other things, maybe take 2 science classes next year. But it does seem like many schools really prefer 3-4 years of language (if he takes 4, the 4th year would be AP and I think he’d hate it). I have a “meeting” (I.e. zoom) with the college counselor next week, so I will see what kind of answer I get. He’s not a good test taker so he really needs to be able to keep up the high GPA, challenging schedule. He’s looking at similar types of schools in the Northeast and Northern Midwest, along with some pretty selective schools (but not Ivy League...Michigan, Northeastern, and Boston College)
