To put a finer point on it, and IMO of course, relatively more colleges consider CS as a core course than as a foreign language..

The safest thing a high school student should plan for is to consider CS as an academic college prep elective, but not rely on it to satisfy college requirements or recommendations of math, science, or foreign language, since colleges vary on that they categorize CS as.
