Are there secondary school course requirements for admission?</p>

<p>There is no single academic path we expect all students to follow, but the strongest applicants take the most rigorous secondary school curricula available to them. An ideal four-year preparatory program includes four years of English, with extensive practice in writing; four years of math; four years of science: biology, chemistry, physics, and an advanced course in one of these subjects; three years of history, including American and European history; and four years of one foreign language.

<p>I don’t think I ever took a high school course strictly on European history but was admitted nevertheless :). If, after two years, you feel like studying French further, you can always self-study then take the AP exam, do well on the SATII to show proficiency, or even continue your study with community college courses. Good luck!</p>
