Answer 1 :
None. Your ACT/SAT score is what will matter. If you want to prep-master english, lit, com.
Answer 2 :
Each college will list all requirements to apply on their web site. Each college can be different. as far as credits, most colleges require you to take in HS 4 yrs of english 3 yrs of science with 2 of labs 3 yrs of math 2/3 yrs of the same foreign language 2 yrs of history They will not ask you how many credits you have. Each HS can have a different amount of credits needed for graduation.

Answer 1 :
Most schools like 3 years. If you want a top tier school then 4 years is preferred.
Answer 2 :
Most want 2 years. check out the requirements of colleges you are interested in. My daughter has applied to some very good colleges, all have been fine with 2 years of german
Answer 3 :
Most colleges just want what's required which is 2 years. But if you want to get into the better colleges its usually 3-4 years. Im going to take four years just in case.
Answer 4 :
I agree with you, I took french and hated it completely! Most schools are fine with just two, but taking a 3rd year is much better for higher, top tier schools. Yet, since you (and I) hate french I'd stop with just a 3rd. I took 3 years of french, and since I want to be a doctor, I took on a lot of science and history courses afterward. I already knew how to speak french fluently, so I think they'll let me slide with just 3 years to focus on my future. If you're giving it up for something more related to what you want, then it's fine just to have 3 years.
Answer 5 :
Well I live in ny, it's easy to get into a college in ny...but not nyu thats so ivy league =P
Answer 6 :
Yeah they definitely like 4 better. 3 years of language is required for all high school students. If you take 4 years of language you'll get an advanced regents diploma instead of just a regents diploma. It always looks good to have a higher diploma than your classmates. Thats why I'm taking spanish again next year unfortunately, so I'll have 4 years of experience. Languages suck lol.
