Isn't the language requirement discrimination ?

<p>I’m not sure why you continue to insist it’s discrimination when it’s not. The university has no control over whether you were exposed to a foreign language at a young age or not. They are offering you the same options for meeting the requirements as everyone else.</p>

<p>You also have not been flamed. You have been told you are wrong and given verifiable proof why this is so, but no one has flamed you.</p>

<p>Have you read about admission by exception?</p>

<p>

<p>[University</a> of California - Admission by exception](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/counselors/transfer/minimum-requirements/exception/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/counselors/transfer/minimum-requirements/exception/index.html)</p>

<p>There are other ways to try and be admitted even though you cannot meet the requirement. It is, as I understand it, more difficult than even regular admission because you are not able to meet requirements that others have (even those from similar backgrounds as yours), but it is yet another option.</p>

<p>Does this really sound like discrimination to you? They give everyone the same options to meet a requirement and then further give everyone the same options for being admitted by exception. Everyone can apply through this method as well.</p>

<p>This is not even getting into the fact that the UCs are need-blind for admissions.</p>

<p>Seriously, you need to get over this false belief that the UCs are discriminating against anyone with the foreign language requirement. Instead of taking the time to complain about it, why not go get in some more studying? Or write a really good personal response that explains what in your life prevents you from doing well in a foreign language class.</p>

<p>Good luck with everything. Like belkster, I’m definitely done. I’ve already posted several times pointing to facts you are not acknowledging as disproving your claim of discrimination. If you refuse to believe those facts, it’s not my problem. It makes me sad that you are in such denial, but there’s nothing I can do about it.</p>
