Spanish 1 vs Spanish 2 for 9th grade?

[skieurope]

It’s interesting that many people are commenting that it’s now how many years of a foreign language you take in high school but the highest level you complete that matters. This is contrary to what I believe (but I’m struggling to account for where/how I formed my belief).

I went through the college admissions process last year, and I specifically asked this question of all the colleges I was considering (admittedly, still a small subset) and they all said it’s the level completed that matters. I am sure there are one-offs who only count years in HS, but I don’t think that any of those are ones that require/recommend 3+ years.

I seem to recollect being in an info session for University of Delaware

Well, what do you know, you are correct for UDel, although they also only require 2 years.

The following criteria represent the minimum requirements to be considered for admission. The academic profiles of most candidates exceed the minimum requirements…
Subject – Foreign Languages
Years Required – 2† of same
Years Recommended – 4 of same
† Foreign language courses taken before the ninth grade do not count.

However, the dagger only follows the required, not the recommended. Make of that what you will.

the rep stating that they wanted to see a kid taking the 5 core academic subjects all 4 years in high school - language being one of those 5 core.
