High School Requirements for College Admission

I'm a senior in high school and have began the process of applying to colleges. Some of the schools that I am applying to, require that I have 2 foreign language credit in their "high school curriculum" but they also have an automatic admission where it has class rank and act/sat score.

But for me, I do no have 2 foreign language, only 1. Also, I have set my schedule for the whole year. Because of this, would this effect my chances of being accepted into the colleges that I applied to that require 2 credits in foreign languages in the "curriculum?"

Sounds like a telephone call is in order. Call the specific college. All you'll get here are well meaning guesses.

And be sure to mention if English is not your primary language. If you are already fluent or semi-fluent in another language, the outcome may be different.

well..I am 100% Vietnamese but born in the US, and can read and somewhat write in that language...I speak 50/50 English and Vietnamese at home, so when I apply do I put that I am semi-fluent in another language and they'll take it into consideration?

Enroll at the local community college the second year of your language.
Evening class is better than no second year of fl.
You will be able to put the class on your transcript and fulfill the requirements for application.
