I'm confused--do all incoming freshmen have to take the language placement exam?

<p>Well, here’s a link on foreign language placement:</p>

<p>If you took AP Language exams and scored a 4 or 5 you can place out of introductory foreign language courses in German, French, Latin and Spanish. You’ll need to score a 5 to place out of Italian 204 though. See here:
