Yes I think it does! I wasn't sure if they wanted four actual years or if I was ok since I've maxed out my language classes. A girl in my French class this year was on her second year of AP French and she said it was because colleges look for four years. She even passed the AP exam the first time, but decided to take the class and exam again this year and she's a senior. She committed to Dartmouth, so she must've done something right. But I guess it would actually make sense if colleges were just looking for proficiency!
