@momof2eagles Her GC (actually more of a college admissions consultant she’s working with) was the one who recommended testing out of the foreign language requirement to free up extra room in her schedule to take more electives. Last year she took Personal Finance and got her PE/Health stuff out of the way. I asked 2 colleges (Oberlin and Columbia, IIRC) about it. Oberlin said that they really just want to see demonstrated ability in a language other than English, so AP Japanese was good enough for them. Columbia gave me a more wishy washy answer about looking at the whole candidate.
