Is dropping English in a final term in High school okay?

I think JHS is correct that many “requirements” (not to mention “recommendations”) can be waived if an applicant has a strong enough total package. For example, my state university requires (or, until recently, required) a high school geography course. But it admits people all the time who have no such course on their transcript. If the OP’s child is at a strong prep school (as I seem to recall), then three years of English there is like four years of English elsewhere, and no college admission officer who knows what high schools are like will have any qualms about admitting the child.
