<p>yeah.</p>
<p>And a lot of medical schools highly recommend (code word for require) that you be proficient in a foreign language. Many prefer Spanish or Asian languages.</p>
<p>Here’s how the language thing works. After you’re accepted and yada, you can take a language test to see where you would place in terms of classes for that language. i.e. FREN101, FREN202, etc. They want to see what level you’re at. To be considered proficient in a language at UVa, you need to take 4 semesters of that language: 101,102,201,202. If you score high enough that you place into a class higher than 202, you are considered proficient in a language and you fulfill the area requirement to have fluency in a language. That’s 14-16 credits, depending upon the language. You could also place into something below 202, and get credit for the classes below it. For example, if you place into FREN201, then you would get credit for FREN101 and 102.</p>
<p>If your simply taking Comp Sci to make yourself look better and have no plans on pursuing something comp sci related/taking comp sci classes, don’t take it. It was notorious in our school for being a difficult class. If, however, you plan on taking comp sci courses in the future, then follow hazel’s advice and take it.</p>
<p>Again, look at your schedule. If you’re already taking a heavy courseload, then don’t worry about being more impressive.</p>
<p>Also, pre-med is a track; it is NOT a major. You can’t major in premed. There’s no such thing.</p>
