Foreign Language: # of Years vs. Level

[annamom]

“Yale does not have any specific entrance requirements (for example, there is no foreign language requirement for admission to Yale). But we do look for students who have taken a balanced set of the rigorous classes available to them. Generally speaking, you should try to take courses each year in English, science, math, the social sciences, and foreign language.”

I wonder why @MYOS1634 included Yale in post #48. Among colleges in @MYOS1634 's list, I already emailed Smith in July and they did not say level reached, rather than years of FL.

Again, no one argues competitiveness of the transcript is not a consideration for admission.
