Brown wants you to take the most rigorous curriculum in your school. If that means taking four years of a foreign language, then it’s preferred that you take four years.

FindAPlace: Brown won’t see the K-8 foreign language study. Make sure the guidance counselor explains his schedule. I really don’t know what admissions thinks of a student who drops language after 10th grade, even if the 10th grade class was an AP. It would be a good question to ask an admissions rep.

ETA: Valkyrie: I am sure that there have been students accepted with 3 years of language. I wouldn’t be surprised if there have also been students denied because they only took 3 years. Depends on the rest of your schedule and the reasons for not taking the 4th year.
