I know that foreign language is obviously recommended and strongly encouraged, but given that the admissions process, most especially at top colleges, is very holistic, I think it could be overlooked. Technical colleges like MIT and Caltech don’t pay any mind to FL and while I’m purely guessing here, I think that I would be alright applying to technical programs like M&T and majors like MS&E at Stanford (though less so than M&T). Red flag for sure, but I don’t think it’s anywhere near an auto-rejection. I am also studying to test out of a higher level later in the year, and my counselor can vouch for that - although this isn’t very concrete.
