The most competitive applicants have more than two years of a foreign language. However, it’s not carved in stone. If you took additional college-level coursework in other disciplines instead of continuing with a language, your application would be much stronger than if you used those slots for trendy electives. And it wouldn’t hurt to ask your guidance counselor to explain your decision in your recommendation letter (or explain it yourself in “Additional Information”). At many smaller schools, there are real scheduling challenges when students want to take the most rigorous courseloads, so if that is your situation, make sure that your application conveys that information. Don’t assume that the counselor will figure it out.
