<p>OP, my oldest son did a semester of Arabic at the community college in his junior year, which around here counts for two years of high school (!), and a semester of Arabic in his senior year. That’s it. He had the equivalence of three years of foreign language. </p>
<p>He was an otherwise exceptional student, and it didn’t hurt him in admissions at all. He is an MIT student and also got into several Ivies.</p>
<p>My current rising senior will do all his foreign language senior year-two semesters of Italian at the community college for three years equivalence of high school foreign language-with the exception of 1/2 year of high school Latin in 8th grade.</p>
<p>It sounds like your son can get it in before the end of senior year. Check the requirements of possible colleges just to make sure.</p>
