You asked this exact question a year ago. Was it not answered sufficiently?
Has the guidance counselor brought this up again?
All three of my children took four years equivalency of a foreign language because the competitive colleges wanted to see proficiency. They got into their very strong schools without an issue.
No they didn’t take it senior year because, in our schools, the students can take beginning foreign language in eighth grade. They needed their senior year to concentrate on polishing their apps , having their midyear reports sent, and finishing up all of their senior requirements .
