Our HS awards actual credit for languages taken in middle school, at least for Spanish II, but I realize YMMV where colleges are concerned.

Just using Wake Forest as an example that stood out to me, the official required number was 2, the recommended number was 4. We were told "unofficially" that 3 would make things easier there in the admission process than 2.

By comparision, Ole Miss technically doesn't require any foreign language in HS and recommends only 2 for successful applicants.
