<p>Foreign Language!</p>
<p>If you’re applying to lets say Cornell or Dartmouth, how important is THREE years of foreign language… </p>
<p>(it might actually be a requirement… idn)</p>
<p>It is a requirement.</p>
<p>PRETTY DARN IMPORTANT. Most schools AT THE VERY LEAST recommend that you have at least 3 years of foreign language.</p>
<p>yeah…it’s ivy league after all…</p>
<p>yeah…the ivy league is the pinnacle of post-secondary education after all…</p>
<p>sorry to “hijack” this thread but if you only took two years of a foreign language and CLEPd out of it, would this make up for the year you didn’t take? or even a high score on the SATII test in that language?</p>
<p>3 years, briguy, is 3 years. SAT II/AP scores are used to place out of college AFTER you get in</p>
<p>Not important at all if you are applying to engineering. Although since you mentioned Dartmouth I’m assuming you aren’t so its probably pretty important. </p>
<p>But yeah I got into Cornell with 2 years, and my friend got into Cornell and Brown with 2 years, but I’m going into ece, and he is going into comp sci, and both of us stopped taking foreign language so we could fit comp sci classes into our schedule.</p>
