> For example the language requirement most top schools have excludes many people who didn't grow up with a second language

Isn't the requirement to have done a year or two of a second language in high school?

That's the admission requirement. You also have to take a language in college.

In ether case this isn't easily doable for people who come from unstable homes.

No, there isn't one universal requirement. Some examples:

No language needed: Florida Institute of Technology, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

Either 2 years in high school or 2 semesters in college, your choice: a STEM degree in a typical Florida state university

Some places require 4 years in high school.
