Taking my native language for elective

Colleges & Universities University of California - Berkeley

<p>Being an ESL, English has always been a potential limitation for me. So is it possible to fulfill my humanities req. with linguistic courses in my native language? Of course, they will most likely boost my GPA, and people may call that unfair. But even a Math course taught in ENGLISH is very difficult for me (I’m very good at it in my native language, however). I can’t even imagine what it would be like taking social sciences in English. To give you an idea, it took me 20 minutes to come up with this post(checking grammar, structure, and all that).</p>

<p>I am posting this in the Cornell forum as well, since I’m still in the midst of my decision-making.</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>do you even have to think about this? DO IT!!! If it makes u feel better, people do this kind of stuff all the time if given the chance. That’s why the average score for SAT II Chinese is a 790.</p>
