<p>Thank you, Colby Rep, for your ED reply. We have another question. Do applicants have to specifically apply/ask to be considered for the fall semester at Dijon, France, during the application process? Are French majors given priority? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks again.</p>
<p>For “balboa”:</p>
<p>Students don’t formally apply for the mid-year admission offers (Dijon, France and Salamanca, Spain), but every once in a while students learn of the programs and let us know they would be interested in the opportunity. Of course, we take this under advisement (a student who indicates s/he would <em>not</em> enjoy the experience, would probably not be considered), but a mid-year offer isn’t guaranteed. To my knowledge, there is no priority given to particular major or interest–especially since so many applicants are undecided on their academic pursuits–but we would almost always take into account previous coursework in French/Spanish before offering the opportunity to spend three months in France/Spain. If your daughter is interested in the program, after reading/hearing about it, she might mention it somewhere in the application, or in an interview (if she chooses to have one). Hope this is helpful.</p>
