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

Show me a college that “requires” four years of English. Most of the colleges newparent’s daughter is applying to don’t even formally require high school graduation.

Maybe I’m wrong. But I have never, ever heard of a college refusing to matriculate an admitted student because someone looked at her HS transcript and determined that the curriculum in the second half of her senior year was not acceptable. I challenge you to find me someone whose job it is to vet that stuff. Someone will look at the grades, yes, but no one is counting the English or Math credits.
