I’m always the contrarian when it comes to foreign language. It’s not that I think a student shouldn’t have four years. It’s just that it’s not a deal breaker if they don’t. My oldest had two semesters of community college Arabic (equivalence of three years of high school). Middle son had one semester of community college Italian (equivalence of two years of high school). Oldest was accepted to all his colleges including 7 highly selective colleges. Middle son was accepted to an Ivy.
I don’t recommend their paths, but we let them do what they felt was best, and it worked out ok.
