Can I waive the foreign language requirement?

[Jason_Zhao]

Hey
I’m a Chinese student learning in USA. I’m going to graduate from American high school next year which means I will study in America for 2 years. I finished my 7th-10th grade in China.
Am I able to waive the foreign language requirement of college application?

It sounds like you are an international student…and you really need to look at what the high school graduation requirements are where you are, as well as what colleges might expect.

Also…if this screen name is your real name, please change it asap. Here is how:

How Do I Change My Username?

When you first create an account on College Confidential, you have to create a username. By default, if you use your Google or Facebook account, your username will include your first and last name. That is not recommended on CC, so here’s how you can change it: 1. Click on your profile circle in the upper right. Click the little person icon. [Screen Shot 2022-02-24 at 3.50.08 PM] 2. Click on Preferences. [Screen Shot 2022-02-24 at 3.50.15 PM] 3. Click the little pencil next to your username. [Screen Shot 2022-02-24 at 3.47.34 PM] If you don’t see a pencil, it means you are out of the initial 60 day window to change your username. Send a private message to an admin (like me), or email admin@collegeconfidential.com to request a username change. Be sure to include what you would like it changed to. 4. Enter your new username and click “Change” [Screen Shot 2022-02-24 at 3.53.09 PM] All done! What if I’m outside of the window to change my username? If you have any…

Each college may have its own rules on how having completed 10th grade in a high school that was predominantly in the Chinese language followed by high school in the US would apply (or not) to any foreign language requirement.

Presumably you studied Chinese in 9th and 10th grades. There are few, if any, universities that require more than 2 years of foreign language study, so for most, there’s nothing to waive.

Regardless, academic eligibility is decided by each individual university.
