See “Ask the experts” at Peterson’s. Just browse down a little bit or search for “foreign language”. This is not something just around CC forum. I have also asked several admission officers at different schools several years ago too.

Q: Do you have to have 6 semesters of a foreign language to get into a good college? Do you have to also take the foreign language regents to get into a college? - Ameera
Answer: Many selective colleges do require two to three years (four to six semesters) of the same high school foreign language to qualify for admissions. Others recommend or strongly recommend the same. Some students who have begun their language in middle school are able to finish the third year of their language studies (say, Spanish 3) in 10th grade. Technically, they may then stop the language, though many of the most selective colleges would like to see them continue for at least one more year (Spanish 4 in junior year). The Regents exams (New York State) are not required for college entrance outside New York, but are required for a Regents Diploma to graduate from your high school.
