How many years of foreign language for admission to top schools such as Princeton?

<p>I didn’t read the Princeton website as saying “You are not allowed to apply without 4 years of language” but more of a recommendation. Do the 7th and 8th grade classes show up on your transcript? Mine do, and I had had 4 total years so I stopped. At some point you can’t do everything. I would say definitely take AP Bio, honestly I think the whole language taken in middle school thing is a grey area. What is the name of the French class you took in 11th grade? If it’s along the lines of “French 5” that makes it clear that you’ve had more than 4 years. Some people have dual languages, some people have multivariable calculus. Go for AP Bio.</p>
